Some signs of intelligent life in the comments, but not many.
Time will tell if this is the issue that best shows the cracks in MAGA.
My 8BitDo Pro 2 has been my go-to controller for months... But it already worked with Steam.
I am hoping this means I can map the few extra buttons that aren't on an Xbox controller.
Same "logic" that expects me to watch ads for a streaming service I pay for at home.
I can get ads for free, capitalists. You're not even playing your own game anymore. You're playing some bullshit home version and hoping we don't see the difference.
Perfect day for a random connection issue, or perhaps a power outage.
Being able to see your actual performance versus your framegen performance is really quite cool.
Nice. Saves a step.
Now I wish there were a way to force Proton games to run in Gamescope. I usually add it as a launch option because it makes some games play nicer with the window manager.
I know it can be done with steamtinkerlaunch, but that is still kind of a workaround.
by hollowing out its tax base
As if the wealthy pay taxes. GTFO with that BS.
Here's something a lot of folks supporting the tariffs as some bass-ackwards way of returning manufacturing to the US don't understand: in business, uncertainty is even worse than higher costs. Even if you end up paying a little more, it's worth it if that payment gets you stability.
Trump's instability in policy easily outweighs any benefits -- and that's assuming there were ever any benefits at all.
Those Firefox figures are abysmal. Argh.
I bet breaking the giant up into much smaller pieces would be a more efficient way to make them do less evil
Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.
That's true for wired headphones, at least. For anything wireless, they have a secondary amplifier not in your phone, so then the phone really really has no idea.
In case anyone is curious what a screwworm infection can do to, say, a human...
These things are terrifying. Watch at your own peril.
I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 gift card.
Fair -- what I meant was more about the Teams binary kind of not being needed at all (you can use the web version without it). So having a Linux binary explicitly just seems a little weird, marketing aside.
I think MS assumes no one will use it. But having Linux builds of some of their software enhances their "MS loves Linux" marketing.
Teams is another example.
Kicad is up there with the paid options for electronic schematic drafting / PCB design. I don't use a lot of KDE stuff since I also don't use KDE, but Kicad is absolutely essential for me.
Actual journalists would have the easiest time in this timeline
Methodological issues aside, I don't find this result surprising at all. I expect this result as someone who has gamed exclusively on Linux for years now.
On the Valve side, SteamOS is about as close to a purpose-built gaming OS as you're going to get. The Proton compatibility layer works so well that some games perform better on Linux than on Windows -- I assume this must be due to unnecessary Windows overhead, but can only really speak to the result.
Nitty gritty aside, I think the key issue holding back Linux gaming now is adoption. It's free. If you haven't tried it, try it.
QMK modifications for OpenRGB
Recently got a Keychron K10 Max. Love the board, and it runs QMK firmware.
On Linux, I am able to use OpenRGB to control my case lighting as well as my USB Logitech mouse. However, OpenRGB does not detect my Keychron (which is fine -- it is not on the supported hardware list). I have verified that I can control the keyboard lighting via the webtool, but obviously that isn't ideal for common usage.
My understanding is that QMK keyboards should be software controllable via OpenRGB. I have added the device (by PID/VID) in the QMK settings of OpenRGB, but it is still undetected.
I have seem some older posts about enabling OpenRGB support in the QMK firmware. I have verified I can compile and flash firmware, so mostly I am wondering if anyone here has experience for modding QMK for OpenRGB, or if that is even supposed to be necessary? I am a bit at a loss as to why it isn't working, tbh.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: want to add some additional details. I have also:

Monitor recommendations for a Linux flight sim / strategy system
Hi all, I have been PC gaming for a long time (30+ years), but specifically gaming from the couch for 10+. I'm now going to be having a nice workspace in another part of the house so I'm building a second system.
I have two main goals: I want to set up my flight sim stuff (= yoke, throttle, etc) permanently in the workspace, and I also want to play strategy titles in there, in particular ones which have text that can be a bit small on a TV from the couch. I imagine I'll still play a lot in the front room, mostly titles with full controller support, so I think it is fair to say that strategy (4X, RTS) and flight simming (X-Plane primarily) will be the focus where I need a monitor.
I was considering targeting 1440p, but 1080p is probably also fine.
Thing is, I haven't been monitor shopping in a long time. Curved screens? Ultrawides? None of that existed when I last was using a monitor.
So I wanted to ask the community here for their recommendations or ideas. Pretty open ended I guess
Are there previous historical examples of cult-like followings of US political candidates?
(This post was intended for politics@lemmy.world, but as it seems they don't allow text posts, I'm posting it here)
This post will likely not go over well with everyone and some people may not agree with the premise of the question. Mods please remove if not allowed.
I am curious if the MAGA-esque approach to politics is new for the US, or if there have been other examples of similar political movements which may be considered "cult-like". To better define what I mean, here are some examples:
- Large amounts of signs bearing a candidate's name being shown by single individuals (e.g. big trucks covered in Trump signs everywhere)
- Use of a candidate name over the US flag
- Use of a kind of supporter uniform (e.g. the red MAGA hat)
- The "alternative facts" of MAGA, where debate can be impossible because supporters believe anyone who is a detractor must be lying
- In some cases, voter intimidation or coercion from staunch supporters
It seems to me that some of this is new but I'd
Out of everything, I really want to see my helmet in first person
I know a lot of people hate this kind of feature, but there are significant reasons why I think it would make Starfield better.
If I'm not wearing one and I leave my ship, I start taking damage if the planet is dangerous. The only way around that is to be in 3rd person while in the ship (aside from the workaround below). There isn't any indication anywhere as to whether or not you are in a spacesuit, besides your menu and 3rd person view. There is no way to know while maintaining immersion.
Bethesda's workaround is to auto-hide spacesuits and helmets in atmo. This sucks, because I personally like tailoring the look of my character to the environment. But more importantly, I want to know that I am wearing a pressure suit if I'm out in a dangerous environment. I don't want it to feel like I'm a freecam wandering around -- I want to feel like I'm slogging along in a freaking spacesuit.
What's really strange is: if you put on the broken Constellation helmet, you *can see the tape piece
