Ukraine's United24 Media, a government-run platform, shared a video of Ukrainian soldiers using the Steam Deck system to remotely control guns on social media over the weekend.
He’s a libertarian so this is just a good business opportunity
Is he? Varoufakis said that, back when he worked at valve, Newel had an "anarcho-syndicalist soul trapped in a private company" or something like that
Can't speak for the rest of valve but last I checked the actual developer portion of the company is run with a flat hierarchy and nobody enforces participation in projects, people work on whatever they want to work on. He does own it though.
Maybe. Not sure how relevant it is today but this is the old "new employee handbook" that Varoufakis would have had on his first day there: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf
Interesting read. Cool place to work tbh and as far as bosses go I do think he's on the better side regardless of the numerous criticisms I have of Valve.
Certainly elements of it but it stretches believability when he's a multi billionaire
Of course but that doesn't make him a libertarian. I'm not saying he's actually an anarcho syndicalist or whatever probably just a business guy
Maybe? But the guy still sold lootboxes as gambling for children, so he can't be that anti-capitalist.
Of course, I meant more that he's probably more of a hippie doo doo kinda guy than an ideological right-wing libertarian.
I mean christ, look how he looks now
Steam decks are reliable commercial-off-the-shelf compact battery operated linux computers.
Steam = bibeo games
Deck = console
Now read the headline and tell me if it's epic
Ukrainian soldiers are absolutely going to get mowed down by their own turrets.
Does this serve any practical purpose, or is this whole thing engineered for the reddit upvotes? (you know the answer)
I wonder how much of this stuff is really useful, or is meant to portray them as scrappy underdogs in need of aid.
been using them for over a year now:
