For what it's worth, I've never owned a console of any kind in my life, but I would really like to own a Steam Deck.
Though I could buy the Steam Deck now, I am eagerly waiting for Steam Deck 2 just to see if there are lessons-learned-improvements from the first iteration.

Just wait for the Steam Deck 3, where they'll solve all the problems that don't even exist yet on the Steam Deck 2. Or better yet, might just wait for the Steam Deck 5 just to make sure they've finally ironed out all the kinks.
Not sure why you're so antagonistic. I don't know you or how you live your life, but as an unsolicited advice, perhaps you could have a moment of introspection. Cheers!
I will acknowledge my precious comment was a tad antagonistic, sorry.
I'm just saying, if it's something you want, it fits your needs today, and you've got the budget for it, just buy it. Don't wait for the "what if the next generation is better?", Because of course the next generation will probably be better, if it comes out. But this fits your needs well enough today, and it's something you want, and there will always be something newer supplanting whatever you buy in the future as well.
So if you're thinking you'll wait for the 2 because it'll be better than the original, why get the 2? Won't the 3 be better? And of course, the 4 will be better than the 3, so maybe you shouldn't buy the 3 but instead wait for the 4. But what if there's a 5th generation...
Why would I buy the iPhone of today, won't the one next year be faster? And the one the year after that be faster than next year? Why would I buy the one this year when there will probably be a better one available eventually?
I just never got this line of reasoning. Could you share why you'd wait for the 2, but not the 3?
It's a very strong pattern that the gap between version one and version two is much bigger than anywhere else, with much bigger flaws existing and being fixed.
I'm very surprised that you don't seem to be aware of this, and treat it purely as n versus n+1.
Org+babel is probably my favorite thing about emacs, magit being a close second.
I tried doing Literate Programming using this blog as my guide http://fgiasson.com/blog/index.php/2016/06/21/optimal-emacs-..., but I got burned out pretty quickly. I think my problem was I put literally everything in a single README.org file, and it was so taxing scrolling up and down. I might try again but with multiple org files.
"It appears @capture is not supported and @accept is supported." for Safari, Firefox and Chrome on MacOS.
I see two buttons, Choose File and Upload. Upload is just a placeholder that shows a 405 error so I'll ignore that. Choose File just lets me choose a file, but there's no option to take a picture.
I can put myself in the headspace of finding it creepy, but by default it just looks like stuff to me. Regular objects. In the case of honeycomb it can actually look beautiful, though.
I searched it, and, for me it was interesting and I became curious. Some pictures were obviously doctored and made to make you feel something, others, were just.. interesting.
Millions are already miserable on the slim chance that they'll overcome the people with all the guns and power and retain their sovereignty and freedom (i.e., Ukraine if that wasn't clear).
The Ukrainian people deserve our help and support. They're doing the best they can with a really shitty situation.
I just would not intentionally target the _common_ Russian people as much as it can be avoided. Hurt the oligarchs, Putin, anyone who is actually helping him, etc.
It won't be painless for the common Russian people, and we can't really help that. But targetting them is just hurtful for no benefit.
On the contrary hurting them will provide a very strong signal to them that something is actually quite wrong. Kremlin is a propaganda machine and while some don't believe what they hear there are others that do. It gets kind of harder and harder to believe you're the good guy when things like that start happening to you. It may prompt you to look at alternative, non-Kremlin news sources and formed a more accurate picture. This may in turn lead to higher and higher numbers of people willing to revolt against Putin.
It's absolutely a last resort, but this is the highest stakes game in existence and there is no time to mess around.
It would be interesting if this becomes a monthly hackernews post like the monthly hiring, where people with problems with their Google or Facebook or "insert Tech Giant here" account with intentionally no human customer support, would post their account problems and whatnot.
It would never happen of course, but it would be interesting.
