https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Today's chaos stream is brought to you by Snapcraft, which apparently lets you block gamepad input going to Firefox and was essential to getting Sweet Home to work on my weird controller setup. I'm very happy someone implemented this feature that I can't imagine anyone using except me in this precise situation.

Success, I have installed a mednafen (and half of a Linux userspace).

Installing pkgsrc on Steam Deck in the hopes that I can then just not care about the stuff outside $HOME being frequently wiped out.

@12 Mine was on the host system.

@12 I'm pretty sure those macros are only used to embed metadata, so they can be safely defined out.

@12 I got further by adding this to my sys/cdefs.h:

#define __IDSTRING(_prefix,_s) /* nothing */
#define __COPYRIGHT(_s) /* nothing */
#define __FBSDID(_s) /* nothing */
#define __RCSID(_s) /* nothing */
#define __SCCSID(_s) /* nothing */

@12 I'm not using Solaris, this is on a Steam Deck which runs Linux.

@12 I'm trying a bootstrap on Linux right now and got exactly the same error.

When we become sufficiently familiar with an external person's voice that we can imagine them saying a specific thing on demand, is that introjection?

@28of47 That's amazing, congrats!

@joan Yes. System roles are usually pretty flexible.

Common obstacles to getting another host in particular seem to be: host is frontstuck, others lack the endurance to be active long enough, or no one else wants to.

@transfaeries We've been doing alright with consensus decision making. Which is good because it'd suck to have to make big life decisions without a consensus.

iore claiming host was more of a "no one objected so I'm doing it", but as she said it's easily reversible. -Liza

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Trying this again, after the failure a couple days ago due to tech issues.

I'm going to try to be the system's host. That doesn't mean I'll be fronting all the time or even most of the time necessarily, but I'll be responsible for moment-to-moment bodily operations when no one else is engaged with it, which should hopefully reduce instances of it being left largely unattended.

It does require someone in the system to remember that when I'm needed, so I'm not sure how effective it'll be, especially at first.
