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)

I installed the beta with this, and I believe this fixed a bunch of flashing while streaming games from a KDE desktop in Wayland when streaming over 120fps using Sunshine (the desktop would flash every now and again, this didnt happen using Hyprland, which I switched back from)

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 updated my AMD framework BIOS using fwupd last weekend with no problem on arch.

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.

Kitty supports images, not sure about alacritty, although there are many competing protocols for image display in a terminal emulator, so it could be that it just doesn’t support a particular program.

I use sunshine and moonlight. It’s designed for games but works far better because of it, as in if it’s good enough for games, the latency will be far better than other RDP protocols.

It doesn’t do clipboard sharing though.

There are some advantages to a centralized platform, I hope them being a “public benefit corporation” (haven’t had time to study what that means nor much desire cause it’s probably a U.S. thing), but as long as it doesn’t get enshittifed that’s still a net win.

Although obviously this won’t be a popular opinion on a decentralized platform like Lemmy.

I’ll use this along with Signal (which is non profit), in hopes that it’s impossible for them to sell out/sell our data/sell ads.

I’ve recently started replacing most of my shell usage with org mode and babel, along with GitHub copilot and similar LLM backed tools it’s like autocomplete on steroids

For sniping, mostly. Not sure if eidolons are the same as before, but it’s really hard to aim at the joints using joysticks without motion controllers

Drag a selection box around it, or use ctrl. Or right click.

I’ve played something like 800 hours on the Nintendo switch, it was fine except for some of the lock puzzles which are way easier on mouse.

You gotta use motion controls though (well depending on the frame I guess)

Spreadsheet

Curious to hear what it’s like making parts with a spreadsheet. Is it like coding?

I use openscad a lot, and just tried using spreadsheets – adding parameters to each property in a part still seems really clunky, compared to editing a scad file in Emacs, which I vastly prefer, especially now that there’s AI code autocomplete.
