Currently you cannot set it to just Playable titles.
I'm unsure why I would want to do that, though?

"Give me perfect" and "give me good (including perfect)" seem like the most interesting choices if you are looking for something to play on Deck...

Wolfire versus Valve antitrust lawsuit to continue

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: GroganI don't see why Valve would delist games for being sold cheaper elsewhere, that wouldn't help them at all. (obviously they'll get zero sales from those games if they don't sell them). That sounds like bollocks to me.
Wolfire's public assertion (which they've rather sanitised for their court filings) was that it was when they were announcing to some customer service person their intention to write a blog post about how they were going to give Steam's costumers a worse deal, that said person said not to do that and that doing that would mean they couldn't be friends any more.
I feel it would be something different though, on one hand just selling the game for less somewhere else, and on the other hand explicitly telling the customers "If you you would buy on Steam, you would pay more for our game!" The latter sounds like actively hurting Valve's business.

If it don't include Australia and New Zealand then its very limited afaic. :p
Stop making up places, next time you will try to convince me that Japan is also real and not just place from anime.

Just when I bought The Captain today, I found they've got a bundle, of which I only missed The Captain until today. :D

Manage your Linux PC remotely as KDE Connect lands on iPhone and iPad

Quoting: Nic264This looks like Android battery optimizations. In the Android settings you should have an option to disable any battery-related restrictions for KDE Connect. It looks like this [External Link] on my phablet under Applications → KDE Connect → Battery → No restrictions.
I've got "Allow battery usage in background", but "Battery usage optimized". Works all fine. (Android 9)

Quoting: ripper81358While i have used KDE Plasma for many years i am not happy with KDE Connect. It is a great tool but for some reason the connection to my androidphone fails as soon as the screen is locked.

I have to unlock the phone while my PC is running, otherwise my phone isn't detected by KDE Connect. I don't know if this caused by Android or my Kubuntu system, but this issue is rendering KDE Connect useless for me.
I can pause and restart Clementine (including internet radio) and YouTube playback from the lock screen with it...

Quoting: fenglengshunKDE Connect also has a Windows release I think, though unfortunately it couldn't work with my Win7 laptop from work. Honestly, it's really versatile.
Does Windows have similar programs? Because I too think it's a really cool and handy thing!
