Just as background: I'd started using Steam Remote Play and streaming since it first was released, and though I don't use it much these days, I did get through the infinite loading by launching windowed.

The other workaround I used to employ frequently was launch another game that's easy to switch windows out of (I picked a free point-and-click adventure game I had), then launched the app I wanted to use, browser, game or whatever, through the normal desktop environment. Just as a test, see if that works for you. In my experience in the earlier days, I ran frequently into problems when my host machine was running without a connected display, but maybe things have improved over the few years it has been out.

Also your system is Wayland right? Are Switch emulators running through Wayland or Xwayland, and Cemu not or vice versa? Could that have something to do with it?

*Some google-fu leads me to suggest prepending `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb` to the launch command (as a Steam shortcut you would have the launch arguments be `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb %command%` )

One thing to test... if it's not already, can you try configuring the emulator to launch in windowed mode instead of fullscreen, then try streaming? Let me know if that makes a difference.

The community URL is still !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz (so https://sh.itjust.works/c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz for you), which won't be easy for people to remember if they are trying to mention the steam hardware community. At the moment community and user handles can't be changed on Lemmy (though the display name can be set to anything).

I think the comm name and display name not matching will make it a bit confusing for people to post to...

I suggest calling it "Steam Deck and Hardware discussion"

If you nationalize your industry, you should be doing it to reform and re-gear it to support your country.

Clearly, Putin here is not interested in making it good for the country, but that his petty war has him cash-strapped and needs to forcibly 'borrow' his billionaire friends' assets.

The complicity of many national governments in this genocide, including my own (Canada), will be remembered with disdain.

In Scarborough, Canada where I grew up, shootings occur once every few years at the malls I go to, a library or neighbourbood park I've been to or like yeah even if i don't get a gun pointed at me in my life, knowing that shootings have happened in places I've been to is harrowing to know. In the US, it happens several times a year in many neighbourhoods. Compare Chicago and Toronto, cities of similar size and climate, one has 2726 per year shootings, the other has 461...

When mass shootings happen regularly, and knowing that gun ownership is ubiquitous (rather than largely connected to presumably illicit criminal weapons), active shooter drills are as commonplace as fire drills worldwide, it's a structural fear, of course we're not paralyzingly afraid all the time, but it's built into peoples' upbringing. The effects bubble up in other areas and affect overall happiness.

In suburban North America... steps outside you have nothing but roads with cars going 50km/h+, no shops or cafes to walk to because of zoning laws, maybe a small park a 15 minute walk away.

You have to have your parents take you places, you cannot go anywhere alone. In the USA you also have to worry about potential shooters because people play fast and loose with gun laws there.

Not that I am condoning vandalism, but it sounds like OIP was targeted because they are a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit Systems. So profits from this production for Ukraine would go partially to Israel.

That said company ownership is a complex matter (Canadians are grappling with a similar issue whether to boycot Canadian subsidiaries owned by American companies). This action does not do much to harm Israel, it does a lot to harm Ukraine, and to harm the Palestinian cause.

For one, servers running Amazon's ECS/EKS can switch to self-managed Kubernetes.

Even if Trump is bluffing as usual, European governments and local councils should get the hint that the tech hegemony Google Amazon Apple and Microsoft is going to be used as an arm of the US government.

Time to switch! Wololo

There were at least face-value arguments for it before.

Well we know that any power the world gives to the United States can be used by a petulant, insecure man-baby to serve nobody's ends but his own.

So yeah, America, if you had made better decisions, you would still be deserving of the title of the world's reserve currency. But here we are, times are a-changing.

Putin and Zelenskyy should take turns having "good conversations" with Trump, like throwing a frisbee of douchebag impotence back and forth to each other.

Yes, yes yes do this! Canada let's subscribe to inter-European standards over American MIC vendor lock-in.

Yeah the local policing unit is more like that, especially in remote locations like the northern Prairies and territories.

To give Americans and International readers context, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a division that functions like the FBI/Europol (investigating national-scale crimes and co-ordinating provincial resources), but they also serve as local and/or state police where there is not one specific to that province, county, district or city.
