" Brad Lynch confirms evidence pointing at Valve releasing a Steam Box (codename: Fremont) living room console with full-sized HDMI, alongside the new Steam Controller (Ibex), and Steam Link for streaming to the Deck and Deckard, likely at the Steam Machine announcementās 10-year anniversary next year"

Yes. But what else could it be? I guess it isnāt completely out of the question for some system to have a special scripting language used for it, but I doubt any of the information related to Discourse on the internet would say that plugins use anything else except JavaScript (or maybe TypeScript) or ruby.
Pretty clear what the rumour is. Though it isnāt even a rumour about the deckard but a different piece of Valve hardware.

Once the deckard is out, what will BJS be waiting for?
Most likely in September. According to Wikipedia, Steam Machines were announced in September 10 years ago.
Oh belgium, I forgot about that. Got too excited. But if they donāt announce the Deckard in the summer, they will most likely announce it at the same time as all the others.

I would put at least pretty high chances for the Deckard announcement to be like after the new steam machine. Or way before it. Though I guess Valve could be crazy and announce it at the same time, but from a marketing impact standpoint that would be a suboptimal strategy.

How many Romps do you need to defeat a Disturbance?
He actually had a username, but Iāll try to summarize this. A user named tottoritom once wrote in a Japanese history Wikipedia page about a certain Yasuke, claiming that he was the first black Samurai in feudal Japan. They never mentioned their sources IIRC and a man named Thomas Lockley published a book about Yasuke years later. Upon inspection, Internet users have noticed that tottoritom cited Thomasā book years before it was published, which led to the obvious conclusion that tottoritom was Thomas Lockley and that he deliberately wrote misinformation probably to promote/validate his book later on. Because of this, the Wikipedia page of Yasuke has been on an edit war ever since the scandal.

Oh I see. Is that edit war still active to this day or has it stabilized.

We have discussed Lockleyās book at length, and held a RSN for it. That RSN result was that the pop history book was unsuitable for the page and that any of Lockleyās claims had a better source in his peer reviewed work. The current page reflects this. The RSN likewise concluded that Lockley is a valid academic. Many of the instances where articles that uncritically parroted that book have been replaced with far better sources for the claims.
