Yeah, just don't. Allowing to code in anything other than English is a disservice, plain and simple.

Inb4, I'm not being US-centric, Latin ain't even my native alphabet.

Doesn't work if it's invisible.

Homoglyphs? Invisible text? Bidirectional text? Just highlight every line that goes beyond ASCII with yellow warning colors and require to vet it. Maybe make localization data an exception.

I do. While I could've self-hosted it easily, I'm just consciously OK with it being public.

I see you're holding to the Australian view on cryptography.

You're right. I forgot not all Ayas are cute pocketable OLED 5.5-inchers.

No, I just daily-drive a OneNetbook 4. Steam Deck is wider than that. Or a GPD Win Max. Or anything reasonably-sized, really.

You did all you could to prevent that from happening.

Same. I'll never believe in GP AI until I see a proof that a matching GP NI exists.

Speaking of bigger numbers: Are there even any rivals larger than Steam Deck? The damn thing is wider than my laptop.

I think the point of the original Deck and the recent update are that they have too crappy of a screen to play non-demanding games, too weak hardware to play demanding games and too heavy of a body if what you do is just streaming from a PC.

Definitely don't. If there isn't a FLOSS Linux client for it, just don't use it.
