I also bought and use this in a terminal and Emacs. I really do feel like it increases legibility at a much smaller font size.

They're referring to the photonix comments. Which are notorious, and serve as a great example of what happens when you don't moderate.

This was one of the most annoying things to me switching to Firefox a couple of years ago.

I've also been following this bug since switching (back), and have kinetic scroll turned off for the last few years, I somehow got used to linear scrolling -- it's not something that bothers me anymore, but I'll be happy to switch back now!

I mean it runs on a steam deck -- what's holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?

Does this work on a Raspberry Pi? Do Wayland compositors work in general with whatever GPU drivers they have?

This is amazing, thank you!

Anyone know if this is one of the first (modern, as in uses a modern engine like Godot) open source games like this where us other kinds of programmers can learn from?

In addition there are also often packages to get hardware acceleration of video working, if you care about saving energy / fan noise there.

I also use krunner but unless I've misconfigured it, I wouldn't call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).

Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I'm back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn't fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.

Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run "Install "

Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something

I'm no stranger to DIY nor reverse engineering, so I may still buy it as a winter weekend project.

DIY is difficult because I want real buttons, as well as customizable mini displays (like the Optimus keyboard of Olde)

As long as it shows up as a normal HID keyboard, and the upload protocol is reverse engineered, I'll be happy.

Maybe I'll get one and use the return policy to find out.

 

I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I'm not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)

I'm sure it'll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.

Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn't been released yet, I saw the "buy now" button and assumed it was.

Oof, this brings back PTSD for a lot of us that have worked with developers like this ☝️

The question was asking if there were any non e2ee text apps.

I actually did already mention, in Wayland you need to coordinate screen locking with the compositor (kwin), otherwise I'd be using swaylock.

 

According to nvtop, on both my nvidia and AMD computers, kscreenlocker_greet uses 200-400MB of VRAM while the screen is locked -- doesn't that feel excessive for a simple screen locker (I do realize that it's QML and thus in theory can use as much VRAM as say plasmashell).

This is kind of annoying as I was trying to set up a chatbot using my main desktop while it's idle, and would like that extra 400MB back for a higher context length.

Wasn't sure if this was a bug or just how software is nowadays so I opted to start a discussion rather than finishing filing a bug at bugs.kde.org.

Anyway, anyone know of an alternative screenlocker for kwin_wayland?

I thought I would disable kscreenlocker completely (by setting the screen to never lock?) and use something like swayidle and swaylock, but it doesn't look like kwin supports the wayland extensions required to use swaylock.

 

Yes, yes, I know, buy AMD, but I already have nVvdia to use CUDA, but this new patch on the nightly branch (on arch, you can use sunshine-git but with my patch here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunshine-git) finally makes it so that I don't have to "dual boot" into X11 to get game streaming at full performance.

Prior to this, wayland-based streamers had to make a round-trip through CPU ram, and now it stays within GPU ram and thus we can stream 4k on nvidia/Wayland!

 

... check that the breeding ranch is fully within your base's blue circle.

The building is massive, and the game lets you have part of it outside, but I ran into a ton of bugs with pals going into a weird state where they can't be assigned after they un-assign themselves to the pen (usually when fast travelling).

(Edit: this is before patch 1.3.0)

Palworld @Palworld_EN 9h [The Future of Palworld] We would like to share with you our roadmap for Palworld. Sales have far exceeded the development team's expectations, and we are currently experiencing many problems due to excessive access congestion, among other challenges. We will prioritize improving this issue first, and then move on to implementing new in-game features. Thank you for your understanding.

[Early Access Roadmap]
・Addressing Critical Issues
  ・Currently, numerous bugs have been identified, and we are prioritizing fixing those.
 ・Sometimes, the world date may experience rollbacks. 
 ・The loading screen may persist when trying to load into worlds.
...and so on.

・Improvements to Implement ASAP
 ・Key configuration improvements. 
 ・Improvements to base Pal AI and pathing.

・Planned Future Updates
 ・PvP 
 ・Raid Bosses (End-Game Content)
 ・Pal Arena (PvP for Pals) 
 ・Steam-Xbox Crossplay
 ・Various Xbox Feature Improvements
 ・Server Transfers and Migrations
 ・Improvements to the Building System
 ・New islands, Pals, Bosses, and Technologies.
 

Anyone heard of this? I've been following it since the first few trailers looked fake, but now I'm more convinced this is going to be a real game (and actually looks kinda good).

 

Is it just memory bandwidth? Or is it that AMD is not well supported by pytorch well enough for most products? Or some combination of those?

 

I use primarily 8bitdo controllers (in xbox emulation mode, so they show up as xbox controllers), and so far I've ran into several major bugs; wondering if others have experienced the same (i.e. it's something wrong with my setup) or found any workarounds

  1. The controllers show up as 2 controllers when steam input is turned on -- to workaround this, I need to go into Steam's controller settings and turn off "Steam Input for XBox controllers", and they show up as one again.

  2. It seems to have controllers working, they need to be connected before the game starts.

  3. When loading a game with 2 controllers connected to the same computer, if you go into the session manager to move characters around (hit start -> LB I think), your first player's screen disappears forever and is unusable.

  4. When a controller disconnects, you have to restart the entire game to reconnect them -- I can't figure out how to rejoin if a controller goes to sleep.

Edit: forgot to mention this is on (stock) steam deck. Turns out the problem was Proton Experimental, it works a lot better when I turn off "Force use of specific compatibility version".

 

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone with a domain name and a k8s cluster where I can set up a simple image and/or video host?

I don't want to have to use Imgur anymore, and am more than capable of setting up cloudflared, and just want to share a screenshot or two, or perhaps show some friends something cool in a video game without having to go through YouTube or Twitch.
