That’s crazy, I almost always have my screen locked into portrait, I would have never found that feature!

It’s fun to try to make it recognize your own sounds as a bird call. I was able to get an 82% as an Eurasian Collared Dove. I feel like one of the flock now.

Yeah, the ability to use the bluetooth or android auto forward/backward jump buttons to skip a few seconds instead of entire tracks makes AntennaPod nice for audiobooks or other long form audio.

Here is mine: In AntennaPod you can add a local folder as a “podcast”.

This is a great way to add audio files from other sources to your pod listening schedule. Files copied from your computer, drm-free audiobooks, audio tracks extracted using NewPipe etc.

It is also possible to have the files deleted when you are done playing them.

There is a PR to allow the use of the translation engine by other apps. Once this lands I would love to see Fedilab have this as an option for its inline translations as an alternative to external services.

It depends. If it’s under your control with your own keys then it can be beneficial. If it’s under someone else’s control (as it is for most people) then it’s a step towards the walled garden.

I am only guessing and extrapolating based on how this usually goes:

• It’s probably possible to get it to run but would take a lot of work
• It’s probably much easier to just run the windows version under Wine

While the Linux kernel usually maintains long term backward compatibility very well unfortunately the userspace (libraries) is a different story.

Looking at the game’s faq the main dependency seems to be SDL. There is no OpenGL or other 3D library requirement. It might also depend on which version was shipped on the CD according to the faq there was an earlier statically linked version (which I am guessing might be easier to get to run) and a later dynamically linked one.

Sales numbers ($) by platform would be interesting to see too.

Correct, that’s what I meant to imply in the first part of my comment. When I research new games I do that from a web browser and that’s when I care about Proton status the most so this works great for that. It does not help when using the Steam client.

I tend to do my Steam shopping in the browser and I use the ProtonDB-Peek userscript. This gives a ProtonDB status badge in the right column under the review links.

In the subject you wrote “successful full sys update” but the script and the other suggestions I see so far don’t actually handle the “successful” part.

The log message only tells you that the update was started and the db mtime only indicates that the db was touched without saying anything about success.

I’d go about this by always performing the updates through a wrapper script that could check the exit status of the pacman or yay command and record a timestamp accordingly.

This hasn’t been true for years, see the relevent Arch wiki page for example.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I’d already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn’t seem all that special. But I figured it out later on…

I like my 8bitdo controller but I have an older model so can’t speak for the more recent ones.

Mesa 25.0.0 Release Notes / 2025-02-19

[ 5067.696] (II) Applying OutputClass “AMDgpu” to /dev/dri/card1

Make sure that you actually have permission to that /dev/dri/card1 device. This may be arranged by udev or “video” group membership.

Regarding AMD vs Nvidia, unless you need CUDA you probably made the right choice. This sounds like a config issue and you’d probably be dealing with the same thing with Nvidia too.

• Termux (or equivalent) has always been the primary mobile phone use case for me. Access to my main computing platforms from my pocket.
• Antennapod
• Fedilab (Mastodon)
• Fennec - Can’t deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.

To be fair the “no USB support” window was quite short. USB started becoming available to consumers around 1998-1999 and there was some level of USB support in the Linux kernel within a few months. I remember using an early USB stack written by someone else that Linus didn’t like so he rewrote it from scratch. Even the new Linus stack was in place by 1999. We got USB-2 and 3 support pretty quickly too.

I’d start by comparing the following in the working vs non-working cases:

1. Is there a corresponding /dev/input/js* device?
2. If it’s there in both cases, any difference in permissions? Check both regular Unix perms using ls -l or stat and ACLs using getfacl
