I agree with the sentiment but the order of words in the title and text appear a bit weird to me. For instance, "totally lost grasp..." and "can't even seem to..." make more sense to me than how it was posted.
You can purchase the game in a web browser and use steamcmd, which (one could argue is still requiring an app) to download and install. In cases where the publisher is not invoking DRM (Larian games like BG3, DoS2, etc. for instance) once the game is downloaded you can certainly archive it and transfer it to another machine and run it there without Steam. In the end you are likely purchasing proprietary software (though again it's not always the case on Steam) and we could say you don't really own that either, so maybe take your complaints to the publishers or just use the power of your wallet and not buy those games and support libre games, of which there are many, another way. That said, Valve is actively making things better for users by developing and contributing to useful libre software like Proton (WINE, DXVK, etc) that can work outside of Steam.
Sibylle is such an enchanting musician. I also enjoy the work of Liz Durrett. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCukvOSSs5UE4ls7efJkhOLA
They couldn't be bothered to show a banana for reference.
Almost easier to set up a share or ssh on the pc and use an easily installed app like Ghost Commander to connect and transfer.

I wonder if their flight home after return to earth will involve a Boeing aircraft?

Sony seems to be migrating out of the console market with good timing. The console itself is a loss and competing with emulation is another distraction. They have realized that focusing on games and peripherals are where they can profit most, it appears. As a pc user, I love their controllers and games so it's a welcome shift.
After laying off their charging tech staff... sure
I'll imagine that there is a rising tide of Amiga desktops then.
Sensational claims require sensational evidence.
Carl Sagan, probably
Known unknown(s) at 7.14% and rising over the Linux stat. Could these also be Linux and perhaps BSD desktops?
Are they reelin' in the years?
Back in my day, jokes made people laugh, occasionaly, they still do. Don't stop joking though. Even my grumpy ass can pull a laugh now and then.
You are old fashioned if you live in the 1800s. Powered bikes and scooters had gas engines long ago and the electrics we have now are quieter and cleaner with fewer moving parts and far less maintenance. Foot power is still alive and well, why begrudge people choises?
Oh goodie, another product for Google to discontinue shortly after release.
The DNC seems reluctant to back Kamala according to Jen Psaki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QUtJNbGgZs&t=365
I have to wonder if this is also racially motivated. Hard to say but, regardless the DNC needs to get their shit together.
This makes more sense when coupled with AR glasses (Xreal, Viture, etc) especially when riding in a plane or car for a long trip. With DEX at least, your phone becomes a track pad, but without a typing device it's a bit limited. Unfortunately many android apps don't translate well to landscape mode.

This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself preferring a kb/mouse or pairing another controller and it was hard to find a comfortable position to play from without hooking it to a monitor.
Debian Xfce testing (Trixie) works really well though I had to install some packages such as joystick and blueman and a few steps to install Steam, the effort was well worth it. I did not want a SteamOS distro because I'd prefer Debian's package management and I like the support and versatility this distro has.
Weak points of using the XReal is that the edges are a little out of focus and one might need prescription inserts (I do not). Otherwise, they are very lightweight and I can be comfortable anywhere. They are also great for watching movies plugging into a phone that has display port capable usb-c (though I recommend a dongle that allows charging the phone while viewing). The glasses also have 3DOF that can be used to move your view (as a mouse or joystick would) while gaming but that requires a driver . Coupled with SideBySide 3D mode on the glasses and in Minetest it's very immersive!

The Pocket Go is Tecno's first handheld gaming device. Surprisingly, the Tecno Pocket Go does not look like a conventional gaming handheld at all, although it may prove to be more powerful than the likes of the Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally, among others.
I think this is really the way going forward with portable gaming.
- Lighter and smaller handheld
- A large screen experience in a portable package
- Privacy
- Not having to hold the handheld device oriented to view it
- Replaceable battery is a big plus too!
There is no mention of Linux as the OS but it looks as friendly to Linux gaming as any other AMD based handheld device beside the Steam Deck.
I like art, Linux, Zelda games and modding Minetest in Lua
