  • SteamOS on non Steamdeck hardware

    Jump

  • Yes, I'm just offering an option to replicate that streaming functionality here. As to versatility, that depends entirely on what you're doing. There are situations in which the Steamdeck would actually be the far more limited platform compared to what I described.

  • SteamOS on non Steamdeck hardware

    Jump

  • If you're just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you're off to the races. If it's something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you'd get with a Steamdeck anyway.

  • Transfer files from phone with broken screen possible?

    Jump

  • Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.

  • Netflix: Piracy is Difficult to Compete Against and Growing Rapidly

    Jump

  • Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

  • Feddites who live in countries with elections, do you generally feel morally responsible for your government’s actions? Why/Whynot?

    Jump

  • Feeling morally responsible for the actions of an entire nation sounds like a great way to give yourself ulcers.

    But seriously, even in a "democracy", there is too much shady shit going on behind the curtain to really hold the general public accountable for all of it.

  • How addicted are you to your phone?

    Jump

  • I think "integrated" is a better term for my usage than "addicted". My phone is an extension of my digital presence, and although I work from a desktop computer day-to-day, my phone is an integral part of my ability to automate and operate my tools, hardware and software. Besides work stuff, it's also fully integrated into my home life since it's my interface for my home automation as well as my primary means of staying up to date with news and info I need.

    But I don't really play phone games, and I don't do social media (other than KBin at the moment, anyway), so I don't find myself using it in an addictive way too often.

  • What are your thoughts on Kbin now that it's 2024?

    Jump

  • It scratches my scrolling itch. I haven't really been back to Reddit other than when Google lists Reddit as the best choice for some info I need. But I've really enjoyed KBin and the communities that are popping up here. I hope it continues to grow.

  • Honest question: why?

    Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

    Transparency: I'm someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

  • A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams

    Jump

  • We're already entrusting the safety of ourselves and everyone else on this planet to governments and corporations, every day. This particular concept doesn't inherently carry more risk than, say, the keeping and storing of nuclear weapons all over the planet or research into biological warfare conducted by just about every country - in fact, the risks of asteroid harvesting could (and very likely would) be far less than those things.

    One thing to make clear - "near Earth orbit" does NOT mean "low Earth orbit". Near Earth can imply a Lagrange point, lunar orbit, cycler orbit, etc. There are many ways to store something like a large asteroid in a way that would be just as safe as having a natural satellite (the moon) or having nothing there at all, so this is not really a limiting factor. There is a vanishingly small chance that a captured asteroid would hit Earth - that's simply just extremely unlikely unless you were trying to do it on purpose. That's a whole other topic - kinetic bombardment may be a real problem in the future, especially if we don't pursue space infrastructure while another nation / group does. But you wouldn't need big asteroids for that - something the size of a city block would do just fine.

    So, who will do the asteroid wrangling first? Probably SpaceX, Blue Origin, NASA, or some other space agency or nation which emerges as a power in space over the coming century. I don't think this is actually a very important question overall and especially right now, since we don't have any real space infrastructure to speak of at the moment. There is also nothing illegal about doing it - anyone could capture an asteroid and return it to orbit the Earth, right now. Except if they do that (actually insert it into Earth's orbit), it would fall under the same classification as the Moon and would become the property of all humanity. This is why such an asteroid would likely not orbit the Earth itself - maybe the Moon or another close point we can easily access.

    But, one thing is certain - someone (yes, that terrifying unknown) is going to do it. Even if it's just for mining purposes, as long as we continue to advance as a species, we'll be moving big rocks around the system eventually. This idea may seem outlandish to someone who hasn't considered it, but the truth is that we have the tech to do it right now, it's not that complex, and there are less risks than projects we're already doing now.

    As for why? Well, ending the resource limitations of our species, having access to nearly limitless energy, and allowing all of mankind to live at the same level of abundance and prosperity seem like pretty good reasons to me. Right now our whole species is standing shoulder to shoulder in a single room, arguing about the resources inside of that room and who should be in charge of them, and basically nobody is even thinking about opening a door and seeing what's on the other side of it.

  • A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think that is a very slept-on concept. There are MANY asteroids in our system which could serve the purpose. We actually have enough room in this system for nearly infinite humans if it's done that way.

  • A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams

    Jump

  • Why bother terraforming planets, or settling them at all? With current tech we could capture an asteroid, throw it into an Aldrin Cycler orbit, and hollow it out into an O'Neil Cylinder. Boom, instant colony which can hold hundreds of millions of people and naturally cycles between near Earth and near Mars every couple years. Repeat as necessary.
