as far as I know, Steam does not provide a permalink for these, this is the way people on Reddit share it and I don’t think there’s any other way except linking to a 3rd party instead of the real source of the data
I know. That’s why many people do screenshot, so point in time sharing the link and any following discussion can be understood later when the data it points to changes. It’s something I see often and wish it was handled better. But I agree, this is a problem with Steam, so can’t fault you for that. Maybe a link to a third party who analyze and document the current state of the survey results isn’t a bad idea. At least there is a real value in it.
If any programmers here understand the reference I am making to pointers…
That’s amazing and thank you! This is more than I “asked for”. Lemmy has a huge advantage over sharing links in Reddit, as we can add body text. In Reddit this was not possible (at least not for me with webbrowser).
This is just the generic link to Steam hardware survey. Meaning next month the results are for July 2023 and this post title is wrong.

I added screenshots for archival purposes to the OP
