I’m sure Valves legal team would enjoy that.

Prefacing this by saying I know nothing about injection moulding. Couldn’t they still use the molds for when they do get a license just different designs?

1 per address until they’re mass produced.

I want to install an OS once, and never be forced to change it on that machine.

I’d be wary of putting all your eggs in a single basket, many people believed Windows was the be-all OS until Microsoft started making funky decisions ultimately changing people’s perspective of their business.

Steam is great now but consider who is going to replace Gabe Newell when he retires or passes away. Think about Steam as a business in 10-20 years and what will change in their policies.

I prefer Valve. 800lb gorilla, main driver of Proton, not likely to suddenly vanish or change leadership, brand recognition means many people will develop extensive documentation and implementation specifically for SteamOS

Under the hood SteamOS/Bazzite are Arch based whereas Ubuntu/PopOS/Linux-Mint are Debian based, the documentation that really matters is going to come from these base *gorrillas*.

Bought one when I got my raspberry pi, granted not nearly as fancy as the one in the original comment, thought I would use it all the time, then I learned about SSH.

Poor thing just collects dust as the battery slowly dies peacefully.

If you aren’t familiar with Linux I would spend a little bit of time in a BASH shell playing around with commands. You really don’t want to be stuck in a scenario where your steam deck cannot boot, for some random reason, and all of sudden you know no commands to troubleshoot with or a brief idea on the structure of the filesystem.

I don’t own a steam-deck personally but I always recommend this advice for anyone moving into the Linux ecosystem.

Best of luck.

Edit: Seems like SteamOS is on a whole other level of stable, while I still recommend this advice it certainly isn’t mandatory. Thanks to others who provided feedback.

You aren't trapped though! Come to Canada!

And this is how we achieved a population greater than what our housing can support. Unless you’re ready to fork over 1200-2k a month for a 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom then I would advise against this.

I prefer acetone and a map-gas torch.

Don’t worry, once Canada enacts its firearm confiscation Ukraine will have a plethora of used .22 Lr rifles in the finest hot-pink camo and magazines pinned to 10-15 rounds.

I thought it was only the centerfire version that were affected.

Man so many semi-22Lr’s were reclassified to prohibited, even the GSG, aka the gun known for its power to jam every 2nd shot.

It’s seems all we got now is the SKS and the Derya. Shame.

I appreciate your candour to the situation, I respectfully disagree with your other comment and believe the privilege is being slowly taken away from us, so yes I think we’re being targeted, at this point it’s too late to argue and all I can do is hope they rethink the buyback program.

So glad I bought a 22lr Kriss Vector for them to ban it days later, now I can go and have it disabled so I don’t have to sell it.

The data is already there, RCMP chiefs across the country endorse it, targeting licensed firearms owners is not the answer to solve gun crime.

Majority of our gun related crime comes from illegally smuggled firearms from the US.

don't want school shootings as a trade off to a hypothetical American invasion

So hypothetical school shootings are better eh? Keep in mind I’m not pushing for the Canadian version of the 4th amendment, as you see in another one of my comments I encourage proper safety training beforehand.

And how, pray tell, is a "real" firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world,

Their tech is pretty advanced I’ll give you that, but i sure as hell know if people had more access to firearms we could actually have a chance to defend ourselves from such a threat.

Our military is a joke technology & armoury wise, simple and plain, the more people who stand to defend the better.

We don't need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence

This is where we differ, I fully believe South Korea has the right idea to train all their children in CQB and to safely handle firearms given how close North Korea is.

The same should apply to Canadians, we have a potential threat down south and a small handful of people actually know what they’re doing.

we need a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence.

I 100% agree however, I don’t think we’ll ever see this in our lifetime with another Liberal leader.

Thinking you'll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range

A couple hours at the range is better than no hours at the range.

Should drive turnout for Carney.

Ah yes another liberal who’ll fail to defend our countries borders, another Trudeau but this time with pizzaz.

If there ever is a war with the US I sure as shit want access to real firearms, none of this 3 rounds per mag headache we got now.

Your thin-skin is pretty standard for Conservatives.

Conservatives?? Your liberal government removed minimum sentencing for reoffending criminals **and then** complained about the increase in crime.

But yes, let’s target licensed hunters and sports shooters because it’s clearly their fault. Obviously PAL holders receiving daily background checks was not enough.

They even earned themselves their own acronym. The problem is growing up Schools (at least in Canada) have pushed these corporations onto kids which makes them think these are the holy saviours of the internet further feeding their data collection and the cycle.

Ah yes, this surely will push me to vote Liberal!

Preach about inclusivity, then go and pull this when someone bothers to questions it.

Come to Canada and find out how weak our defense is!

Ah yes, I’m sure once October hits and the liberals start confiscating people’s semi-automatic rifles everyone will feel so safe!

Fun fact 604 area code is Vancouver.

America is no rookie when it comes to threatening & invading countries for their oil, it’s a shame Canada has little means of defence and the liberals are further taking that defence away.

Conservatives are not much better however, we can no longer rely on the US for national security.

Elections are coming up folks, pick wisely between the two evils.
