poking around at GNOME OS via Boxes,

this isn't like a huge, groundbreaking new thing, but, this System Details dialog here? probably really helpful if you want to help someone with troubleshooting, or for having consistent info for issue reports

no need to tell someone what all info to grab from the About page of GNOME Settings, or have them run some terminal command, or fuss with sending a screenshot

just "click Copy on the dialog and past it here"

making the setup process even easier with a script: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox/pull/1

Ran into an issue with the container working in Toolbox on my system, so the script only supports distrobox at the moment

but it only takes a minute or two and you should have DaVinci Resolve ready to go

#Linux #DaVinciResolve #Silverblue #uBlue

A run of a script named setup.sh in a terminal window. The script sets up DaVinci Resolve in a distrobox container. At the end, DaVinci Resolve is launched from a newly-created launcher from GNOME's activities overview.

revisiting another old one, and...yeah, Star Fox Adventures has not aged as well as Mario Sunshine. lots of jank with how it controls

it also happened to be the first Star Fox game I played...while also being the most different in gameplay from the rest of the series since it originally wasn't even developed as a Star Fox game

this right here

this is the face of a miqo that's heard Nero's speech way too many times

...and knows that the mentioned "lord" is gonna have an even longer one

a follow-up from my last DaVinci Resolve post a few months back (https://mastodon.online/@Akzel/110289784791639584)

I've set up a "davincibox" repository to build a container with the needed packages for installing and running Resolve on an image-based distro (i.e. Silverblue, Kinoite, etc) from distrobox (or toolbox).

https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

Note that I'm using an AMD GPU, so I can't test if the Nvidia stuff works right.

Still WIP and in need of polish, but functional

revisiting a classic tonight

the camera controls being inverted is really weird to get used to again, though

it also made me realize why younger me preferred inverted controls in other games for a long while: Sunshine was one of my most-played games as a kid, so inverted felt normal

fired up Horizon Zero Dawn for testing DualSense things; it's recognized as a DualShock 4 by the game, and I had to use Steam Input to enable gyro (but it does work just fine)

but anyway other than that, last time I played it, my setup couldn't really maintain 60 fps all that well. fast-forward 7 months and now it smooth as butter. AMD drivers really do be aging like fine wine

semi-related to the poll I just posted, but I picked up an Xbox 360 controller I had lying around just to get a feel for it vs my DualSense and Switch Pro controllers, and...it has not aged very well

face buttons and start/select buttons are good, sticks are fine, but not great. triggers would probably feel a lot better if they weren't so narrow

d-pad and bumpers are really mushy though

Fellow PC gamers that prefer using a controller, which is your favorite and why?

i want to emphasize that, while I do sometimes boost posts that are anti-Windows (or at least make jabs at it), i am absolutely not the type of person to try pushing "Linux superiority" down people's throats. use what works best for you, Linux or not

i will say that the penguin side is pretty cool though

Okay I finally deactivated my Twitter. Enough is enough. I don't trust that site enough to even have an account on it anymore.

porting Roll-It to Blueprint and...i think my codebase is haunted?

The GNOME Builder IDE. The user's mouse cursor circles the folder view on the left to draw attention to a dice-settings.blp file and help-overlay.blp file. The user then clicks the build button at the top of the window. Between the aforementioned files, a dice-settings.ui file appears. The user briefly opens the new file to show some of its contents, then closes it and permanently deletes it via their file manager. The user then builds their app again...and the file reappears, with the same contents as before.

secondary peeve to the whole "job is listed as entry level but actually isn't" thing:

jobs being listed as remote but then aren't actually remote whatsoever

"entry level"

An excerpt from a job listing. The heading is "What We Need To See," with the first bullet point as "6+ years of meaningful software engineering experience"

revisited Pokemon Shield for a bit, which prompted a quick comparison to Violet

technical & performance issues aside, Scarlet/Violet had a lot of nice improvements over SwSh, with the UI and open world and whatnot

but clothing options were such a massive step backward

GNOME Web users: are you as annoyed as I am with this menu on GitHub refusing to go away? It looks like it’s either busted feature detection on GitHub or a busted CSS implementation in WebKitGTK—regardless, here’s how to fix it

1. Open ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Epiphany/data/epiphany/user-stylesheet.css

2. Add:

@supports selector(:open) {
anchored-position[popover]:not(.:popover-open) {
display: none;
}
}

3. In Web, go to Main Menu → Preferences → Appearance, enable Use Custom Stylesheet
