I’ll comment that I followed these instructions to get this set up on Steam Deck. Works great! Including the overlay!

Thanks a ton for this guide! I got it all working on Debian 12.

A couple of differences I’ll point out (in case it helps anyone else):

• I was using the system’s default apt-version of steam, but I needed the flatpak-version of protontricks to follow the guide because otherwise protontricks would crash. I think this is because the apt version of protontricks is too far behind.
  • sudo flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks installed protontricks
  • flatpak install com.github.tchx84.Flatseal installed flatseal, which allowed me to give protontricks additional filesystem permissions (otherwise protontricks wouldn’t detect the steam games)
  • Open flatseal GUI, locate protontricks and give it more filesystem permissions
• I also couldn’t seem to get Steam to run the Untapped.gg Companion.exe executable after the install step. The problem seemed to be due to the . and white space characters in the name, so I renamed the executable to untapped_gg_companion.exe and then it worked
• Finally, on my Debian laptop I require PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in my Steam launch options for MTGA - otherwise the game wont launch. So my final launch option including this and the OP’s was: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD="/media/<username>/home/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/2141910/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Programs/untapped-companion/untapped_gg_companion.exe" %command%

Thanks again @pwalker@discuss.tchncs.de!!! Very much appreciated!!

Unpopular opinion maybe: many of the suggestions here are not worth the time.

Buy I’ll add one to the mix: yt-dlp I use a lot to download YouTube videos. Very robust.

Joplin is FOSS & supports live LaTeX. The editor is markdown & you use $ for inline LaTeX & $$ for full line.

They’ve got both desktop & mobile versions. One of my favorite apps.

I recently learned to whistle as well! (in my late 30s). I’m bad at it, but finally can make a recognizable tune.

More recently though I’ve learned to cut my own hair :)

My favorite Halloween playlist. I return to it every year!

I don’t remember all of the details, but I thought it was essentially the water’s surface tension that foots the energy bill when climbing a paper towel or a capillary in a tree.

The surface of fluids like water are unhappy. Molecules on the surface would much rather be deep in the fluid because on the surface they have “dangling” Van der Waals & polar bonds to one side. You can calculate the potential energy of the surface due to all of those dangling weak bonds, & that’s the energy that is used to climb a capillary (the energy isn’t free).

I could be misremembering though, I admit. School was many years ago…

Earthbound: Halloween Hack was really great! I played it this season. I wish it were longer though.

Thanks for posting the others! I’ll check them out!

Nice clothes. She likes Free People, Anthropology, & Sundance. I try to choose a dress or jacket or something I think she might like (always get a gift receipt though!)

Small things. Sounds. The temperature of the air. The fact that my side isn’t hurting right now. The kids costumes who were just trick or treating at my house.

I’d rather teenagers be trick or treating than doing other stuff. If they come to my house they’ll get candy for sure.

Putting a wig on my best friend and spooning him while he’s asleep.

If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

In ye old’n times we would leave the console on as a stop-gap way to save the game between in-game save opportunities. Because ye old’n times game design philosophy believed that the added difficulty of crazily separated save points was “fun”.

In modern times I sleep the hardware if I expect to be back within <24 hrs, and power off if I expect to be longer.

(Thank god for saving memory states in emulators!!! Elsewise I probably wouldn’t play retro games at all.)

I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

Ugh, you’re right! I didn’t realize. I’m going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than “Yet Another Call Blocker” anyway.

You’re right, I hadn’t noticed that.

Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It’d be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.

It can block hidden numbers, if that’s what you mean by “private”.

I hope you like the app!

Yes. Go to settings and toggle the Block hidden numbers option

I use Yet Another Call Blocker. It has a custom block list you can use to block a specific number.

The block list also supports wildcard characters, which is my favorite feature! I use it to block swaths of numbers (much of my spam comes from the state I used to live in, so I block those area codes).
