It's a bit of a weird launch for Valve standards, when the Steam Frame doesn't play nice with the Steam Machine, for now at least... and this is a product that was delayed for months, and ships in this state?

I expected some gambling, but not like this.
![Screenshot of Discord messages from me to someone else:
it is basically a stable identifier that is used across bluesky&co to refer to your account
it's what "holds" your followers
these identifiers are associated with a "DID document" and you can see yours here: https://plc.directory/did:plc:[REDACTED]
this "document" says what your handle is (so every time you change your handle you're actually making a change to this document) and also says what PDS your account is hosted on (so when you migrate your account from one PDS to another, you're also making a change to this document)
to update this document, you need a "private key" for one of the "public keys" configured in the DID document (think of the "private key" as an actual 🔑 and the "public key" as the 🔒 it fits into. everyone is able to see the lock on your door, but you must keep your 🔑 to yourself)
in order to let you change handle, the PDS (in this case, my PDS) has one of the keys to your DID document
by adding a second key that you have, you are later able to change this document yourself without intervention of my PDS (e.g. because it went offline for good and I'm gone)
and this would allow you to keep your did:plc:[REDACTED] and thus all your followers, and all the other "social relationships" that "point to you"
without adding a second key, if my PDS disappears, you won't have the 🔑 for the single 🔒 that is currently in your DID document
by adding a second key, you are adding a second 🚪 with its own 🔒 and its own 🔑 so you can get back home even if my PDS loses the 🔑 to the existing single 🚪
if you go here https://plc.directory/did:plc:[REDACTED]/log/audit - or for a nicer view, click on the Logs tab in pdsls
you'll be able to see all the changes you've made (or which your PDS has made for you) to your identity document
you can see when you added a custom handle](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3dr23xsom4xvpxsuwuhj7b7q/bafkreifzthircrca6z6t4a3nr4dhq5qafdv4owzs2r2pxgrfuy6x7unuyi)
