I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Hmm, I just tried to open it on the plane and it asked me to connect to the Internet.

I’ll have to try again. Did you put steam into offline mode prior?

bitwolf,

I was playing MegaMan Battle Neckwork and Tony Hawks pro Skater using emu deck for almost a year.

When both dropped on Steam I bought both. Unfortunately MegaMan Battle Network requires Internet to run so I reverted back to the emulators.

Tony Hawk is a wonderful port however.

bitwolf,

Before they switched to the react-native version they had the modern Android keyboard animation.

I got excited when they refreshed the UI but they still haven’t added it back.

Nvidia works on Wayland now. And in 6.6 the noveou will support reclocking on 2xxx+

Games also work fine under Wayland. Either with gamescope or kwin.

Mutter works well but they haven’t yet merged vrr support so you have to get that separately.

bitwolf,

❤️ GTK and Gnome.

I swear the same people that complain about Gmome3+ also complain about Wayland.

Both projects put a lot of thought into their controversial decisions, they’re attempting to learn from their mistakes.

There comes a point where you need to adapt to change. And both these projects have proven their changes are beneficial.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

bitwolf,

Hopefully when RISCv gets there it won’t be so bad.

Now that manufacturers are getting called out for it they tend to follow the support cycle upstream. Now, much of it falls on the chip makers, Qualcomm specifically supports chips for 5 years iirc (and 8 years for their industrial chips).

If the manufacturers can achieve vertical integration, like Apple has, with RISCv I think we’ll see a lot more mainlined support from them.

bitwolf,

Is that only for certain editors? Because at work, the second I go offline I’m forced to close Idea.

bitwolf,

Maybe there is an Oxford comma? I understood what you meant

bitwolf,

Yes, YYYY/MM/DD

bitwolf,

In certain instances that may not always be available.

One example I can think of is when browsing on a NAS.

bitwolf,

It is arguably the best way to name large sets of indexed files on a filesystem.

I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better (gitlab.gnome.org)

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they’re almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception....

bitwolf,

I can see you’ve gotten some code review so I will just eagerly watch as this gets worked out and eventually merged.

I never had an issue with the backlight curve or lack thereof however a friend recently demoed a similar impl they put together for hyprland and it is a very nice change.

Looking forward to seeing it in the next Gnome release 🤞

bitwolf,

Well at that price I’d argue it’s pretty reasonable, comparable to a used Toyota.

The pick up trucks I see on sale are closer to 60-80k.

bitwolf,

I believe it comes from a saying that most wear is in the first ten minutes of driving.

Which I also believe assumes you don’t “wait for the car to warm up”

That saying. I still find some truth to it. While modern cars can adjust fuel mixture to different conditions. There still is an unavoidable few minutes where the engine runs in an open loop and wear is greater.

That said, in my vehicle when I listen for the engine to “close” it happens in less than 5 minutes.

bitwolf,

Definitely Jekyll or Hugo on GitHub pages.

I use Ghost CMS because I wanted an easier mobile editing experience, it is also very low maintenance in its container form.

I also have this issue where the webview will refuse to change after a while.

I can try to leave a site typing in and address or try to switch tabs the UI will indicate the page changes and is loading but will still show the old site.

Eventually it goes black and is stuck until I force close and reload the page.

Haven’t yet figured out how /where to report as a bug

bitwolf,

Lmao I first read that as

Yet another Newly Jank ass Linux Distro

bitwolf,

Iced and Floem are the ones I’m seeing used on larger rust only applications.

bitwolf,

Agreed! For something as controversial as making another new DE (RIP Unity 7), it’s coming along very nicely.

I can’t wait to try cosmic once it’s ready.

bitwolf,

Send it

bitwolf,

And the red garbage bag in the trunk!

bitwolf,

Tbf it’s not exactly made easy to completely remove chrome + Google from phones.

Even if you set Firefox as default, even with webview, some Google apps will call chrome anyway using the built in webview.

bitwolf,

Long term they will move to Firefox also.

Because people like us will continue to suggest they use Firefox as their “tech person”.

It’s just a little slower for the people that don’t care.

bitwolf,

And pretty much none of the services are the better product.

bitwolf,

So then they’re a publisher not a streaming service.
