Signal has been a good option because you can get “normal” people to use it, which hasn’t been true for many of the alternatives (except Telegram, but that’s a mess).

This other article mentions it:

Correa expressed disappointment in the Trump administration, feeling betrayed after voting for him and serving the country, as he believed only violent criminals would be targeted.

FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro now working for me. A few things that are needed:

• Controller must be in PC/Dinput mode, blue led (hold O + A to switch)
• Don’t enable the built in gyro mode in the Windows app as it might cause problems
• Udev rule:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2412", MODE="0666"

(get the idVendor and idProduct from lsusb if you have a different controller)

• Some (patched) versions of xpad/xpadneo might conflict with it. If you’re using the stock versions it should be okay.
• Your user might need to be in the input group.

One last thing that may or may not be needed is that I installed the SpaceStation app on Windows to test some things. It started working after that but I can’t recall if I force reloaded the udev rule so it might have just been the reboot that fixed it.

Anyway, now I have gyro + all extra buttons working with Steam Input.

Maybe they are planning to take back that spectrum they gave to Boost/Dish on a pinky-promise that they’d actually become a competitive network, during the Sprint and T-Mobile antitrust case.

Which would fit with the FCC’s increasingly mob-like behaviour under Trump.

I’ve seen less whining about downvotes, “you can’t say x on y subreddit” meta comments, and general persecution fetish stuff. Probably just due to less people, but it’s still a relief not to have to see it constantly.

Everyone’s life is different. Some people spend more time working but have more opportunities for breaks, and others have shorter hours but more a clearly delineated work-life separation where they must be working through the whole period. There are people with a large amount of responsibilities outside of work, and others that have little to none.

Anyway, it’s not true for all but many people do have the time they just choose to spend it on other types of entertainment. Sometimes consciously, other times because TV and social media are the path of least resistance, even if it’s less satisfying.

My suggestion is to consider a Steam Deck and use the suspend function readily. You might not have hours to play, but maybe you can pick up 15 minutes here and there, which is more satisfying then you might think.

Triple buffering. Needs to be implemented by the game, not by the OS. Provides maximum frame rate and no tearing with minimal latency.

Vulkan mailbox mode is pretty much this and doesn’t require game support (can be forced on with environment variables if it’s not already being used). And since almost everything is Vulkan on Linux these days, one way or another, that covers most games (might be compatibility issues in rare cases).

Plasma wayland has an automatic mode which should at least turn off VRR during desktop usage, as long as the application window isn’t fullscreen. A hacky way that can help when VRR is active is to increase the minimum frequency and kick into LFC more readily, by creating a custom EDID (you can also do a sysfs edit historically but I think that’s AMD only).

That’s only really viable if you have a high refresh rate monitor with a large range. I’ve found that 120hz may not be enough (since you may end up with gaps where VRR doesn’t work if the range is too narrow), which is of course the most common OLED TV refresh rate. In my experience a minimum of >=54hz minimises the flicker, but that may vary with the display.

There’s also an issue with cursors where moving the mouse can make the refresh jump to the maximum. It only affects desktop usage and some games (RTS and the like, not usually FPS camera usage). There are fixes coming for this with Plasma I believe, but I’m not sure about Gnome. Forcing a software cursor may help, as others have indicated.

Some users are reporting gyro working for some of the controllers. It’s early days anyway (I tested it and it’s all broken for me on the Vader 4 Pro).

I have the Vader 4 and there are some reports of gyro working too. It’s no replacement for my steam controller(s) due to the lack of touchpads, but it’s probably the highest quality conventional controller I’ve owned in terms of build quality, so good to see support.

Smart is fine if and only if:

• Not the only way to interact with the device
• Supports open, local-only protocols like Zigbee or Matter

There are public health and epidemiology degrees that would be more useful for this role than studying medicine (although doing both would be helpful, and many do). Brainworm doesn’t have any qualifications so it’s immaterial, of course.

Are you using the handheld/deck image? If so, see if you can replicate the issue in desktop mode as it might be a game mode specific issue. I’d also test a different keyboard and gamepad, if you have easy access to those.

It’s just saying it’s not supported, not that it doesn’t work. Depending on your country, I doubt that warranty voiding claim is enforceable either.

Also, if you get one of their units that has an ARM chip inside instead of an intel one, there is basically no chance you’re ever going to be able to use anything other than the software that they have by default.

Their x86 models are fine as you imply, just avoid ARM and you can install any OS you want.

They don’t even care about the ostriches, just want to push their “bird flu is just a cold” propaganda.

I’ve changed, I promise not to hit you anymore. You’ll be alone forever if you don’t stay with me!

I use it for my self hosted apps, but yeah, it’s rarely useful for websites in the wild.

That and women might have other aspirations than being baby factories. Who knew women had their own hopes and interests?

It’s not always takedowns either, just the developer deciding to nuke their own repos. Real annoying, although it’s making me more vigilant about forking/mirroring important repos.
