  • Things like this are why I seriously think the next steam deck may include an ARM based version. Possibly a smaller, lighter, more switch like device alongside something more like a z1e equivalent device.

    Steam Frame may do a lot for VR but also for ARM gaming.

    My secret hope though is risc-v also somehow gets on the map.




  • More like, large corporations not at all invested in local communities are now empowered to completely run rough shod over local governance processes. They’re actually more likely to pay for folks to stall out slow approval processes so that they can take advantage of this law and start building, especially when the permit would have likely been denied because it didn’t consider easements, fire or flood risks, building and local regulatory standards, or any other manner of things. So this actually increases the likelihood of bribes, and ensuring that corporations actually pay less to your local government and more to personal pockets of those being bribed, while simultaneously making the buildouts less safe and compliant with greater risks to the local community. Basically a lose lose for local folks, and a win win for a giant corporation.

    A better version of these flawed tactics would’ve been that failure to meet timelines would open the project to public vote and also that every project would require a public option (eg government supplied bid on the infrastructure) to compete. That way if timeline expires, it’s not automatically awarded to people who have a vested interest in it expiring at the expense of a community. It could be awarded to a local municipal project instead.




  • Make it 12x the lowest paid by hourly rate. Then maybe it’s 32 hours, or less, but you’ll be paid no more than 12x less than the highest paid employee on an hourly basis.

    Also, the hourly wage should include all compensation, including benefits and stock options, so they don’t try to stuff their benefit and stock packages (eg private plane and company car).

    Also, tax all wealth above 20x the median wealth of the nearest 100,000 people at 90%.


  • I think it’s okay, I made a comment about the license first! It’s good discussion. I certainly like everything being copyleft, but I also get why people who make a contribution (an extension or otherwise) might want to license it differently. Ultimately whoever does the work gets to decide on the license — closed source I’ll never touch, extension or otherwise, but I’m lenient on open source.



  • Hey some folks responded here which is great! For me, I think wiki and tracker are perfect like someone else mentioned, because a lot of folks without accounts can still access the knowledge created. The hard part is moderating of course. I’m not sure there is a perfect solution.

    Ultimately, you’re producing something cool for the community and you get to set the terms for that; if discord is easy and sustainable, I prefer that to you doing anything else that isn’t sustainable to see the project through as long and vibrantly as you can. So in that sense just choose what makes sense.

    So in short: do what makes sense for you and if one of the alternatives listed (maybe wiki it seems? That would be cool with me) works then that’s great!

    I guess I’ll also plug forgejo or codeberg at this time haha

    Edit: I’ll also say, more folks here for discussion is cool too, and good to have you posting and hope to see more discussion around it in the future here!

    Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

    Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.
