Today's obvious idea: when prescribing medication to treat vision problems, don't expect the patient to be able to read the printed label on the container.Perhaps raised plastic lettering would be better?

One of my goals is to use the steam deck as a Haskell development environment.First thought: it's larger than my pocket. It's quite a bit larger than the Nintendo switch; meaning it's very firmly out of pocket sized.It's still small enough to carry around like a medium to small purse.Battery life is good, but I'd expect that in the first week of use.The speakers are much better than I expected from the size.The many inputs are great when gaming.As a gaming console, the steam deck is great!

I spent some points and bought a cool looking monochrome green on black onscreen keyboard. Looks good in the steam UI, but there is no onscreen keyboard in "desktop" mode.I think that means a separate keyboard will be required for software development.Now I wish I'd kept one of my Atreus keyboards.

@Sophistifunk I think that's doable with fuel cells, just runs at a thousand degrees last I checked.

If you say "I learned this from my days growing up in a bio lab" you sound more like frankenstein's monster rather than the child of a lab employee.

I have a linux shell prompt question!I'm using starship for all my shell prompts. Is there some way to get the host name to change colors by host?I don't care how, I just don't want to run shell commands on the wrong host.

Do not buy forbidden adapters on Amazon. from https://medium.com/@leung.benson/why-are-there-no-usb-c-receptacle-to-usb-b-plug-or-usb-a-plug-adapters-f97736bb62beSomehow I unreservedly love that ending sentence... DO NOT BUY FORBIDDEN ADAPTERS ON AMAZON.

@JoYo is one option much more difficult than the other?I'd like to distribute the alarm clock in steam if possible, but I don't care if it runs on windows or Mac.

@JoYo I don't mind a submission fee.I think it'd be fun to make useful tools for the steam deck.I can't figure out if a "game" could wake the deck from sleep though.Any idea how I could find out?

@mattg I'm embarrassed my Twitter account is on my resume, even if I haven't used the resume since Twitter popped.

Is there some way to find out where a Linux' process stdout is redirected to?Can I use strace or dig into /proc or something?
