  • If anyone is interested i have written a small script that i added to my crontab to check for, and if i don’t already have it, download and install each GE release daily (or however frequently you want it to run, it’s your crontab).

    make sure your .steam/root/compatibilitytools.d folder matches the steam_compatibility_folder variable below and update it to match if not

    #!/bin/bash
    
    latest_full_path="$(curl -sLOJ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | cut -d\" -f4 | grep .tar.gz)"
    IFS_orig="$IFS"; IFS='/'; read -a full_path_as_array <<< "$latest_full_path"; IFS="$IFS_orig"
    latest="${full_path_as_array[-1]}"
    extracted_file_name="$(echo $latest | sed -e s/.tar.gz//g)"
    steam_compatibility_folder="$HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d"
    
    if ! [ -d "$steam_compatibility_folder/$extracted_file_name" ]; then
      curl -LS "$latest_full_path" --output "/tmp/$latest"
      tar xzf "/tmp/$latest" -C "${steam_compatibility_folder}/"
      rm "/tmp/$latest"
    fi

  • It dominates because it’s the one that everyone knows. If you’re lucky enough to find a shop that accepts crypto it’s almost certain that the crypto they accept is bitcoin and bitcoin only. despite its flaws it is a proven technology. It might 3 hours to send an on chain payment but you don’t have to worry about a technical glitch dropping it.

    I somewhat agree about it being not great though. it has serious scalability issues that were supposed to be addressed by lightning but lightning adds a lot of complexity imo. My grandma is never going to be able to figure out how to use lightning whilst still being able to benefit from a self custody wallet.

    A lot of the newer coins that crypto bros bang on about seem to be centralized under private entities, “regulation friendly” and not distributed.
