I deleted my Twitter account a couple days ago. I had it for years, but pretty much never used it. I'm just not a social media person, and I actively dislike Twitter.

Signed up with Mastodon back in August and used it for a while. I like it better than Twitter, but I eventually ran into the same problem; I'm not a social media person. However, I will keep my Mastodon (Fosstodon) account active, in case I decide to use it again.

This is the first month in a long while where my PC info changed. Increased my RAM, upgraded my GPU, swapped EndeavourOS for Kubuntu, and swapped my PS5/DualSense controller for a Stadia controller.

Say what you will about Stadia...I'm no fan of cloud gaming myself, but the Stadia controller is actually quite good.

The only EA game I have installed that uses (used?) Origin is Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. It did indeed install the EA App, but the Origin loading still came up. Game booted up fine though.

Probably won't grab Kubuntu 22.10. I'll be sticking with 22.04 for the moment.

How does it back up saves to the cloud?

I don't like this new app at all after using it some more.

I wanted to change the phone number on my account, but only had my phone with me, so I used the app. Things were fine up until I had to open a link in an email to verify the new number. Normally an easy process. Except it kept opening it in the app, and the app would instead present me a page asking me if I wanted to move the Authenticator.

I repeated this process multiple times until I gave up and tried in Firefox Android, but now I have to wait a week to add the number I wanted due to multiple failures.

So I deleted the number I had on my Steam account, turned off the Authenticator, and uninstalled this awful new app. Valve, I like you guys a lot, but if your app is going to make changing things in my account this frustrating, then it can stay off my phone.

I do not like that you are unable to log out of the app if you have Steam Guard authenticator enabled. I do not want, nor need, to be logged in on this app 24/7.

I'm sad I'll no longer be able to enjoy the latest KDE and Plasma. Such is life on Kubuntu LTS.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80

Quoting: CyborgZetaNow that I've left EndeavourOS behind and am back on Ubuntu LTS, it will be a while before I'm on the 6.0 kernel. It also means it'll be a while before I can buy and enjoy one of the new Intel GPUs.

I'm a patient man though.

Or you could go crazy and install the kernel yourself

Nah, I'd rather not do that on an LTS distribution. IIRC Canonical backports kernels from the interim releases to the most recent LTS, so I'll be getting newer kernels on my install eventually. If having the latest kernel was super important, I would've stayed on EndeavourOS.

I have no use for a dock myself. My Steam Deck is strictly a handheld. I have my desktop if I want to play on a monitor, and my consoles for my TV.

But hey, for people that want/need the dock, it's good to see it's finally becoming available.
