Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.

The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started and use the official .deb

We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.

If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain. In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.

@gruber ah yes, damn those EU lawmakers for… *checks notes* …creating laws around privacy. How dare they 🙄 Next you'll tell us they trying to protect human rights or something, the fools!
This is hilariously stupid. I mean, just painfully stupid. And, yes, it's real.

So i was unaware google where adding a new set of TLDs, And i share the sentiment of others.

Did anyone think this through or did they just want to add new domains for the sake of it?

I think i'd struggle to tell the difference between a legit and malicious website using a .zip extension (file download vs webpage)

@arstechnica have a great post on it https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/05/critics-say-googles-new-zip-and-mov-domains-will-be-a-boon-to-scammers/

Google pushes .zip and .mov domains onto the Internet, and the Internet pushes back

Will new TLDs undo decades of work to stop malicious links?

The scam site steamdeck . info is trying to bury my video on them. I will be fighting this. This isn’t right. It is a very clear Steam / Steam Deck scam site I am warning people about.

A lot of people are moving to @Mastodon, but I also get a lot of misconceptions and questions about how it works, and about this cool giant social network that is the #Fediverse, including @pixelfed or @peertube. So, to answer all these questions, and myabe introduce you to some other parts of the Fediverse, I think it's time for a quickstart guide!
