  • Another solution I’ve played around with, but it didn’t work super well… would be krfb-virtualmonitor

    KDE’s remote framebuffer tool for making a virtual monitor to VNC into. For me it didnt do what i wanted because I have 3 other monitors and I couldn’t assure that things would launch directly into the virtual monitor… and it doesnt support any sort of dynamic resizing… But there might be something there.

    I also hope that this kind of stuff improves in the future because of the Steam Frame. In Tested’s video, he calls out that he can only stream games at 21:9 if his 21:9 monitor is on. And other VR friends have pointed out the desire to dynamically resize content in the headset. So maybe this will get better in the future.

    For me the issue is that i have a OLED 21:9 desktop, and streaming to my Steam Deck risks burn in on my desktop, and annoying black bars on my steam deck… I’d love to just have a 1280x800 faux monitor to stream to my steam deck, nothing needs to be visible on the desktop (headless, like you want).

    But anyway tl;dr - krfb-virtualmonitor vaguely worked but not for what i needed. Virtual monitors are definitely a possibility



  • The market demand they are filling is cutting in line. Every time a scalper buys an item, a legitimate customer doesn’t get it. So genuinely SOMEONE is not getting a steam frame because of a scalper. That’s how it works. The steam frames being sold on ebay aren’t just magically generated by scalpers, they are the result of someone else getting pushed out of line.

    Supply isn’t increasing because of them.









  • here’s a still frame of Spain’s foot on top of Argentina’s.

    Spain won and is the better team, so we don’t need to get all worked up about a goal being called back. 2-0 or 1-0, Spain won. Did Argentina overly flop for this? Yeah I’ve never flown into the air crying like that from having my foot stepped on. But also, did he get his foot stepped on? Yes. Is that against the rules? Yes. Was this a valid call to make? Yes.

    Biases go both ways, Spanish coverage is naturally going to want this to count. Argentine coverage is naturally going to highlight other plays they disagree on the commentating on. All of the Spanish clips I’ve seen conveniently start AFTER the foot stepping. The play continued for long enough that it was easy to miss (especially if you didn’t go back far enough)

    This was a legitimate call. If anything, the bigger referee mistakes were in NOT calling other issues throughout the game.





  • My last update to vidcutter was from 2025 (based on my pacman logs). Some tools will scan for “did you install the bad package during the bad time period” and some will scan for “is the bad package name installed at all” - so i was able to identify that vidcutter was installed and I knew that the package names looking familiar made sense, and I was able to manually confirm that I was still clean. And now I have a lot of system pruning to do.

    But if you thing some packages look familiar, it might be worth double checking.



  • I left out some context. There was a massive controversy that sparked a lot of the “toxic community” claims. Someone showed up with pronouns in their discord display name. A server mod changed that user’s display name on the server so the pronouns were “(who/cares)” … Which vaxry declared “not a big deal” but they made it clear that showing up with pronouns in the server was “politically divisive” and that users who include pronouns are unwelcome.

    “LGBT issue” being lumped in with “politics” in his quote is intentional, as his way of being dismissive of it.
