> Between 2023-05-15 and 2023-05-21 there were 138 new games validated for the Steam Deck. We use numerous criteria to create this best Steam Deck Games list, such as popularity, ranking, and more.
> The first time that you boot Easy, there is text-mode GUI asking for choice of language. There is a snapshot here:
> https://bkhome.org/news/202301/first-bootup-2-letter-language-asked-in-initrd.html
> The names of the countries are all in English. The problem I had then was the 'dialog' utility was not displaying UTF-8 characters. It is supposed to be able to, but wasn't.
> The initrd is using PSFU console fonts, but that is not the problem. I discovered that 'dialog' does not like LANG=C, it wants LANG set to a UTF-8 locale. OK, I set "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" just to run 'dialog', and that fixed it.
> This is the post I never thought I would have to make. I am also writing this post on behalf of SoylentNews PBC, the legal owner of SoylentNews, and not as a member of the staff or the community.
> SoylentNews is going to shut down operations on June 30th.
> This wasn't an easy decision to come to, and it's ultimately the culmination of a lot of factors, some which were in my control, and some that weren't. A large part boils down to critical maintenance to the site not properly being performed for a very long time. To pay back the mountain of technical debt we've built up, it would require relaunching the site from scratch.
> I'll discuss this more in depth below, but I can't personally justify the time any more, especially due to the negative impact that SN is having on my personal life.
> Before we shut down, at least for the foreseeable future, I'm going to outline the situation as I see it, my own personal responsibility, and what happens next.
