It’s not my favorite option. But at least use Discourse.

GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control (www.phoronix.com)

As pointed out in This Week in GNOME, there’s been some continued work on Variable Rate Refresh for the GNOME desktop. The VRR setting within GNOME Settings continues to be iterated on as the developers iron out how they’d like to present the Variable Rate Refresh setting for users. The developers have been discussing how to...

bitwolf,

I don’t think in any way that would lose an advantage over gnome.

Having a Steam Deck, the only integration I see is the “Return to Steam” shortcut and a change to the logo.

When you run the Steam Deck gaming mode it bypasses KDE entirely and uses its own game scope compositor.

bitwolf,

Could.be useful to unlock shopping carts!

Literally same. My entire life has been striving to build a life where I don’t need a car. (mainly out of frustration with NJ’s toxic surcharge program).

Sadly, no one in NY was hiring and my dumbass moved to Austin. Now my drive is to get back to NY where there actually is a hope of using public transit.

bitwolf,

I need a lot of good CM4’s. I hope they’re still ramping those up 😞

Sync Pro (paid) Jerboa (free)

bitwolf,

Wayland has been great for several years now. Things change, especially technology.

I always found it so strange when the biggest tech nerds get upset about change.

bitwolf,

It is not getting new features anymore. Just because the distro is packaging it doesn’t mean it’s not dead.

I heard Sway is very similar to i3. But I’m partial to hyprland myself

bitwolf,

I got so heated watching one of the congressional hearings where I girl asked Congress to ban single use plastics.

The politician was so condescending and finished off with “we need a solution before banning”.

America had the solution before plastic… Cans and bottles.

bitwolf,

If you parents have a standard TV stick or Apple TV their devices support a variety of codecs.

This means that you can “direct stream” content from Plex / Jellyfin with minimal CPU impact.

At 1080p it should at least support ~4 direct streams when it doesn’t have to “transcode”.

That said, even if it is weak by today’s standards it’s a good platform to learn the setup on. Then you can move to something else more powerful (but still cheap) once you understand it all.

At least that’s how I did it, 3b+ -> Pentium J5040

bitwolf,

With the rate at which Electron applications catch on? Nothing, you’ll end up using it all in a few years time.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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,

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

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.

bitwolf,

Send it

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,

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

bitwolf,

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

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,

Nice to see Nvidia getting caught up finally. I switched but I have friends I have told to wait on Linux bc they use Nvidia

bitwolf, (edited )

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,

There’s also the bare pizza box in the stark white comforter. You know that cardboard isn’t going to keep all that pepperoni pizza oil in for very long.
