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.

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.

Well now... TIL!

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.

Now I'm definitely sticking with LaTeX. Thanks.

business part of it

This is the part I don't want.

It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.

I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.

Then again, if you're that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don't have those things, maybe you shouldn't be rich.

That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn't even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.

Ah, this must be the "meritocracy" I keep hearing about. For some reason I thought you had to be a member of the Trump family or a Fox News host to take part.

Can you point out specific examples?
