Ukraine is fielding machine-gun turrets remotely controlled by the Steam Deck video game system
The remotely controlled gun turrets follow a trend in this war, in which remotely operated unmanned systems are ever-present and wildly destructive.
Ukraine's United24 Media, a government-run platform, shared a video of Ukrainian soldiers using the Steam Deck system to remotely control guns on social media over the weekend.

He’s a libertarian so this is just a good business opportunity
Is he? Varoufakis said that, back when he worked at valve, Newel had an "anarcho-syndicalist soul trapped in a private company" or something like that
Doesn't he own the private company though?
Can't speak for the rest of valve but last I checked the actual developer portion of the company is run with a flat hierarchy and nobody enforces participation in projects, people work on whatever they want to work on. He does own it though.
Certainly elements of it but it stretches believability when he's a multi billionaire
maybe he just sees himself as the union boss
Maybe. Not sure how relevant it is today but this is the old "new employee handbook" that Varoufakis would have had on his first day there: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf
Interesting read. Cool place to work tbh and as far as bosses go I do think he's on the better side regardless of the numerous criticisms I have of Valve.
Of course but that doesn't make him a libertarian. I'm not saying he's actually an anarcho syndicalist or whatever probably just a business guy
Maybe? But the guy still sold lootboxes as gambling for children, so he can't be that anti-capitalist.
Of course, I meant more that he's probably more of a hippie doo doo kinda guy than an ideological right-wing libertarian.
I mean christ, look how he looks now
