While I agree, writing good docs is hard for a very intangible benefit. Honestly, it feels like doing the same work twice, with the prospect of doing it again and again in the future as the software is updated. It’s a little demoralizing.

The App Library grouping of apps is automatic but when you add apps to the Home Screen, you can drag one onto another to group them in a folder and then name that folder whatever you like. 
I modded Fallout 4 on SteamDeck by running Vortex in Desktop mode using Steam Tinker Launch. I recall it being a little finicky to find all the right paths etc. Some googling should lead you to a guide for running Vortex on SteamDeck.
Also there is an alphabetic sorting in the App Library when you tap on the sort field:
You can turn off automatic offloading. I agree through that it’s bullshit that it can offload an app that is no longer available on the store.
But they’re usually shit and lack noise cancellation which is really nice to have on a flight.
That was actually pretty easy to setup.
I installed SyncThing on my Windows PC using https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/SyncthingWindowsSetup and set it up to monitor a folder which contains the non-Steam games I want to sync to my SteamDeck.
On the SteamDeck, in Desktop mode, I installed the SyncThingy app via the package manager and followed the instructions to set it up as a service that starts at boot time, so it will even work in Gaming mode.
Once that was running, I went through the process in SyncThing to synchronize my PC and the Steam Deck, which does take a few clicks and confirmations on both the PC and the Steam Deck, but after that it just started copying the game folders automatically.
After a game had sync'd to the Steam Deck, I added it to Steam, switched back to Gaming mode and played it for a bit. After saving my game, I checked on the PC to see that the save files that added to the game folder on my Steam Deck also now showed up on my PC.
Come on, don’t be a dick.
TIL. I thought they had their own crawler. I’m a little disappointed.
Fantastic list! I’m gonna try out SyncThing this weekend 👍🏻
But active noise cancellation is still superior.
Kagi.com has its own I believe. But you have to pay a subscription to use it.
The problem with see through AR glasses is that the actual VR view looks like ass because the tech to do it well is not there yet.
I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.
It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.
It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.
I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
