  • A friend's parents are classic car buffs so they got him a cheap Trabant (car from former east Germany) for his birthday. It was awesome. I mean, the car itself sucked ass, it had trouble going uphill and it was made of cardboard. But it was still kinda cool.

    When it died around graduation the class sawed it in half and buried it in the school's garden so that it looked like it was driving out of the ground. It was part of that year's graduation stunt.

  • Our first use of the speak with dead spell revealed that the bandit had a cousin in Neverwinter. I made it my personal quest to find her and give her news of her cousin's passing.

  • No changes to that are saved.

    And it still doesn't let you rebind the Steam or ... buttons themselves.

  • I can consistently separate the chocolate from both waffles without breaking any of them with Hanutas. And I can do the same for Prinzenrolle but with slightly less consistency. The latter are more dependend on temperature.

  • No shit, most washing machines really eat socks. They sometimes slip between rubber and drum and then slowly dissolve. Have seen a video of that happening. And have found a lost sock when I had to repair the machine.

  • My mother sent me a screenshot from teletext the other day.

  • It's hard to ger rid of the FUD from the past. There used to be a time where you were happy to be able to boot your computer. Sound, networking (ha, forget about wifi), it was all a gamble or a hassle to get working. To keep it that way Microsoft somehow convinced the industry to make Winmodems. They intentionally crippled ACPI to only work with Windows.

    Then came the intermediate time where it was 50/50. Maybe you could get the wifi working with the Windows driver and some ndiswrapper magic. Maybe the hardware vendor had some driver that would only work with exaxtly one kernel version. Before ATI was bought by AMD it was better to buy nVidia because their drivers didn't suck nearly as much as ATI's.

    And now at least big vendors add Linux drivers before their new hardware even hits the market. Most hardware works out of the box. Even small specialised stuff. Printer? Scanner? Your system has it configured before you even thought about using them. And ACPI is so crippled on Windows that it can't even suspend a laptop properly half of the time. But Linux does it like a champ!

  • That works. I'm just lazy and don't want to have to do it for every game.

  • At first I read the headline to mean that they wanted to use Twitter to act as an age supplier.

  • But /dev/random is more surprising and not because it's more random.

  • Ah, but the really funny thing is how Gaming Mode works.

    They start the gamescope wayland compositor which launches an XWayland session to run the Steam client in. Which will start gamescope to run the game, which will use a second XWayland session to actually run the game in.

    It'll probably take at least two more years until they can get rid of X.

  • I like to have other apps like a browser easily accessible with proper window management. And most of my games are non-Steam games which allow me to easily swap between desktop and gamepad bindings easily to alt tab out.

    And I've found that running KDE Plasma Wayland has no visible performance impact either. No idea why they use X11 in SteamOS.

  • No, you cannot change the mapping of the Steam and ... buttons. They are only available to the Steam client. You cannot remap the Steam+other button combinations either.

    Funnily enough when no game is running the Steam button focuses the Steam window. But that functionality is gone as soon as a game is running. Really frustrating.

  • The one thing I took away from it was that the Xbox-button acts as alt tab. I WANT THE SAME FROM MY STEAM DECK IN DESKTOP MODE!

    But in Desktop mode the Steam button does absolutely nothing while a game is running.

  • I'm honestly surprised they didn't do it sooner. They already had half of the work done for Xbox. Should have been relatively easy to start with just the interface for all PCs and then iterate from there.

  • Now I look stupid. Thanks! And sorry!

    What app are you using? Not even the official interface is showing that info.

    Edit: It does show on lemmy.world. Time to update my instance. Maybe its a new feature I overlooked.

  • Warner Bros?

    Just Kidding.

  • nano because I can't be bothered to learn the vi shortcuts beyond i, / and :wq.

    And when I still worked on bigger stuff NetBeans. I got used to it and there were some features JetBrains lacked that kept me away. Can't remember which.

  • I use Sunshine and Moonlight for PC streaming. Steam's own solution always had some problems for me. Sunshine and Moonlight just work. And if they get one bug fixed it should even work in the other direction.
