While I’d like it to have rumble and trackpads, I pre-ordered one (to Canada).

I just want the xbox button layout with proper motion controls, which it seems like this delivers on, and with a bonus of actual back buttons (that can be mapped in Steam, unlike when controllers emulate Xbox or switch controllers)

Though it doesn’t appear to hurt!

They’re referring to the photonix comments. Which are notorious, and serve as a great example of what happens when you don’t moderate.

This was one of the most annoying things to me switching to Firefox a couple of years ago.

I’ve also been following this bug since switching (back), and have kinetic scroll turned off for the last few years, I somehow got used to linear scrolling – it’s not something that bothers me anymore, but I’ll be happy to switch back now!

I mean it runs on a steam deck – what’s holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?

Does this work on a Raspberry Pi? Do Wayland compositors work in general with whatever GPU drivers they have?

In addition there are also often packages to get hardware acceleration of video working, if you care about saving energy / fan noise there.

I also use krunner but unless I’ve misconfigured it, I wouldn’t call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).

Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I’m back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn’t fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.

Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run “Install <random package from fuzzy search>”

Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something

I’m no stranger to DIY nor reverse engineering, so I may still buy it as a winter weekend project.

DIY is difficult because I want real buttons, as well as customizable mini displays (like the Optimus keyboard of Olde)

As long as it shows up as a normal HID keyboard, and the upload protocol is reverse engineered, I’ll be happy.

Maybe I’ll get one and use the return policy to find out.

I think anyone who’s tried one of these games or is the parent of someone who’s tried one of these games figures out this loophole (or alternatively , predatory practice) pretty quickly.

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

Isn’t this more of a litmus test of whether or not they have lime cordial in stock?

Well you have to state why it wasn’t good. It was incredibly region-dependent, but if you live near one of their endpoints the latency wasn’t noticeable and the quality was great, as it was for me.

In the end I got to play a bunch of games for free, and have an extra controller I still use, so there’s that. They made us whole, at least, after they shut down (I even imported my into the breach save game into Steam with Google takeout after)

There are people reverse engineering the glasses right now (I have a pair):

https://github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriver

One of my longshot projects is to convert my framework laptop main board to exactly this. I basically use the glasses a lot more than the screen at this point (it’s more convenient at night before bed)

Back during the WoW days (the flying mount expansion), every time I would walk home from Uni I’d think: “This would be a lot faster if I turned into a crow and flew over these houses”.

I played a Druid.

By some definition. They have always been usable to some degree because I think animators or something use Linux commercially on Nvidia, and for gpgpu they are still top class on linux (nothing comes close)

They haven’t always been the best for gaming or desktop (Wayland) use though, since Intel and AMD opened up their drivers.

Arguably in my experience Nvidia has been far less buggy for the last 30+ years on x11, and with this change they may have finally reached parity on Wayland, haven’t tried it myself.

I guess it’s finally to the point where selfhosters can admit to using k8s and not be bombarded by comments saying it’s overkill, which has happened in the past for:

• Self hosting at all
• Using VMs
• Using containers
• Using docker compose
• Using k8s (⬅️ I guess we are here)
• Using helm charts or whatever ends up replacing this

Anyway, I believe there is a tool also to turn docker compose files into k8s manifests if we want to take this a step further!

Yeah I’ve enjoyed all the Pokemon games in the last decade (I also dropped over 100 hours in Palworld).

If you listen to the internet, however, we’re apparently what’s wrong with Pokemon, because we’re not allowed to enjoy it unless it’s perfect and lives up to to everyone else’s very specific expectations, but the sales figures don’t lie, there are certainly more than dozens of us!

I suppose if you really like tools, Makita counts as an entertainment franchise.

Annoying thing about moonlight and sunshine is that you can’t use your existing controller configs easily.
