This is exactly where I’ve been for the last week, it’s insane just the sheer difference the changes they made have had on the overall gameplay.
It feels as if I went from playing the technical demo (season 3) of the game to the actual launch version (season 4) - which sounds dramatic but it’s the second time I’ve made it to WT4 (I usually can’t slog through this much) and never this early!
Yeah. It’s another one of these. But! Here me out! So I have some experience using Linux. Run some VMs for services I run in my home, I switched my surface book 3 (funnily enough) to ubuntu for my work computer as I was getting more and more frustrated by windows 11 and it turned out really good. Was able to completely get off...
Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own “sections” (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...
The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks....
As strange as it may sound, my favorite controller so far has been my Google Stadia controller. It feels very sturdy and has a nice finish - and I can hold it for hours without my hands cramping up.
Also a big fan of the fact that it charges over USB-C, and that it works perfectly for me over both Bluetooth and wired.
However, I haven’t had too many controllers in the past (Nintendo’s controllers - GameCube, Wii, Switch Joycon/Pro, the Xbox 360/One, and the DualShock 3), so that could be part of it. I don’t know, I just haven’t had any complaints with it as of yet.
Were you using X11 before, by chance? IIRC Fedora 40 dropped X11, and only ships with Wayland by default. The fact that all of your apps are using the same screen sharing interface sounds like they’re using the screen share portal due to running under a Wayland session, which Discord doesn’t currently support currently.
For a while there was a workaround using a tool called XWaylandVideoBridge but even that stopped working for me.
I’ve heard that Vesktop supports screensharing under Wayland (and supposedly with sound support too), and it is available on Flathub - might be worth a try.
I’d love to find an alternative to xdotool’s auto type feature (or ClickPaste from Windows).
There is wtype but unfortunately it doesn’t work in KDE nor GNOME because neither of them support the right protocol. I’ve run into the “<DE> hasn’t implemented $PROTOCOL” a few times in the past and it’s certainly a bit annoying.
Aside from when that comes up, I don’t really have any complaints. A tool we used for work was never going to be fully functional on Wayland because of its dependence on Xinerama (I think) but thankfully we’ve moved away from it.
Oh that is perfect, thank you! Funnily enough, pasting into VNC sessions is exactly what I needed something like this for as well - you’ve taken a lot of future pain out of my workday!
Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....
If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that lawsuits are more often than not, just a joke to the large companies.
Hell it’s often easier for them to just classify whatever fine they get slapped on the wrist with as a business expense, than to do the right thing, it seems.
Oh wow, that does sound glorious! I’m definitely looking to get an OLED TV (or at least an OLED monitor) next, I’ve had an OLED screen on my phone for a while now but it wasn’t until I recently picked up the OLED Steam Deck that made me go “Wow this is amazing!” - now I want it everywhere haha.
I’m a little disappointed at myself, to be honest. I was supposed to have a hematologist appointment on Wednesday, but I rescheduled it for early next month. For the last few years, I’ve been fighting to get my chronic fatigued treated because its generating a whole tree of issues (its preventing me from progressing my life forward, I’m pretty sure its the cause of my depression, etc) - however no one has been able to figure it out because no one actually wants to take an in-depth look as to what it might be. They just run a simple CBC on my blood and say “Nope, looks all fine”.
Well, to be quite frank, I’m just not ready to organize leaving the house on Wednesday (I don’t have a car, so I have to get transportation scheduled from my insurance company) and expend all that energy, just to then be disappointed when the hematologist is 99% likely to say “There’s nothing wrong that I can see”, then I have to organize a trip to actually get back home. It turns what is a 15 minute appointment into a whole 3-4 hour ordeal. They don’t offer telehealth appointments, sadly, or else I wouldn’t mind at least talking to the doctor.
I only pushed it back a little bit till early next month, but I’m just not ready for the disappointment this week, it was causing me a ton of anxiety just even thinking about it over the weekend.
I know that I shouldn’t be disappointed in myself because at the end of the day its my choice and that I shouldn’t feel ashamed for it, but that doesn’t change the fact that its how I feel regardless - so in reality, I traded anxiety for more grief and disappointment in myself rather than disappointment in the doctors.
AFAIK the inbox analogy that the previous user wrote applies on an instance level, so in your example the LW admin would still see it (assuming it was against a LW user or something in one of their communities, I believe).
The “mark report as resolved” option doesn’t federate to other instances, if that makes sense. It’ll mark it as resolved for that whole instance (so a community mod won’t see the report anymore once an admin from that instance marks it as resolved and vice versa), but not other instances.
At least, that’s as far as I understand it, don’t quote me on that 😅
Programming! It’s currently a hobby of mine (and has been for over 10 years) that I hope to make into a career of mine. I do some minor scripting and whatnot at work (and thankfully, I get paid at a much higher rate for the time that I’m doing that), but its not the “main” thing I do.
I live in a world of many unanswered questions, full of illogical conclusions and actions. But with programming, it is all about logic - the computer does exactly what you tell it to do, and I find a ton of beauty in that logic and how that logic makes sense to me. It doesn’t always make sense at the first pass, but at the end of the day, its always something that I (or someone above me) told the computer to do incorrectly. There’s always an answer!
Whereas the rest of my life, I hardly ever have the power to get my own answers, and others surely often don’t have an answer for me either.
Last night I was nearly tearing my hair out trying to get a crappy inkjet printer installed when I turned to ChatGPT for help; 5 minutes later it was done (driver issues)....
For myself, I’m fine with using ChatGPT and other LLMs (I’ve been experimenting with trying to run them locally, so that I can gain some insight on them a bit better) to “fill in the gaps”, or as a sort of interactable Wikipedia - but I try to avoid asking LLMs something that I have zero knowledge of, because it then makes it a bit more difficult to verify the results it produces.
Yes, unfortunately. It’s something that I’m working on with multiple doctors and practitioners, and so far we’ve gone through some of the usual suspects (Vitamin D levels, checking thyroid function, making sure I wasn’t diabetic - already had my doubts on that one but I’m not the one with the medical degree I suppose…, etc).
My mental health isn’t always the best, so I’m trying to get that worked on as well because bad mental health can cause lethargy and chronic fatigue (it’s a two-way street though, the reverse applies too)… Unfortunately a lot of mental health meds have fatigue as a side effect which doesn’t help my case. It also doesn’t help that I have Crohn’s disease, and any autoimmune/chronic condition in general can also cause chronic fatigue.
I don’t know, I still feel like the root cause of it is an imbalance of something, but that’s my best “gut instinct” guess - I have nothing concrete to base that off of. It feels like all of the things I’m trying are just attempting to “brute force” the issues away, rather than treating whatever is the root cause, but I digress… All I know is, it feels like the game was rigged against me from the start.
So today I clicked ‘enable HDR’ on one of my monitors and something broke. The whole system froze up and the HDR monitor went black. If I reboot it freezes right after I login....
Since Plasma 6. Not sure about HDR wallpapers (never even heard of an “HDR Wallpaper”, so I’ve not looked into support for it), it should work with fullscreen videos though, and Steam games work if you run it through a nested gamescope session with a special HDR Vulkan layer installed.
It uses the Marian library via WASM (their wrapper for this is here) to do translations, which AFAICT is “AI” based (which I presume knocks the file size down quite a bit) - additionally, the language packs (I’m not sure what term to use here so I’ll just go with that) are not all bundled with Firefox, they’re downloaded when you first use them.
The previous incarnation of it, the Firefox extension’s repo was found over here - I assume the code is now within Firefox’s main repo since its built into Firefox now.
I was a long time Windows user, starting with XP. I only tried Linux a few years ago, and while I loved it, at the time I had to dual boot for a couple specific Windows only things (VR and flight/racing sim hardware)....
Thank you for the update! I just gave it another go and don’t seem to have any audio, and it still seems quite jittery - I’ll have to play around with it some more and see what I can get working on it :)
