Same with my Stadia controller - funnily enough, Windows is the one that required me to purchase some third party software to be able to use it wired or wireless...

Gotcha, no worries I'll see what I can track down - thank you!

but I did set up OBS already and managed to get HW encoding to work on an AMD GPU.

Did you by chance use any resources for this, such as any guides or any of the OBS docs? I'm looking to do the same thing and it seems I'm only running into outdated information, as well as debates on whether its even worth doing GPU encoding vs CPU encoding.

Pay day, I've been working on a new project at work, and the time I've put in for it gets paid at a higher rate - I'll end up with a little more than double my usual paycheck!

This is exactly where I've been for the last week, it's insane just the sheer difference the changes they made have had on the overall gameplay.

It feels as if I went from playing the technical demo (season 3) of the game to the actual launch version (season 4) - which sounds dramatic but it's the second time I've made it to WT4 (I usually can't slog through this much) and never this early!

Definitely keep us in the loop!

They have their own hosting plans, but you can also self host it.

As strange as it may sound, my favorite controller so far has been my Google Stadia controller. It feels very sturdy and has a nice finish - and I can hold it for hours without my hands cramping up.

Also a big fan of the fact that it charges over USB-C, and that it works perfectly for me over both Bluetooth and wired.

However, I haven't had too many controllers in the past (Nintendo's controllers - GameCube, Wii, Switch Joycon/Pro, the Xbox 360/One, and the DualShock 3), so that could be part of it. I don't know, I just haven't had any complaints with it as of yet.

Looks great, nice job!

Were you using X11 before, by chance? IIRC Fedora 40 dropped X11, and only ships with Wayland by default. The fact that all of your apps are using the same screen sharing interface sounds like they're using the screen share portal due to running under a Wayland session, which Discord doesn't currently support currently.

For a while there was a workaround using a tool called XWaylandVideoBridge but even that stopped working for me.

I've heard that Vesktop supports screensharing under Wayland (and supposedly with sound support too), and it is available on Flathub - might be worth a try.

Oh that is perfect, thank you! Funnily enough, pasting into VNC sessions is exactly what I needed something like this for as well - you've taken a lot of future pain out of my workday!

I'd love to find an alternative to xdotool's auto type feature (or ClickPaste from Windows).

There is wtype but unfortunately it doesn't work in KDE nor GNOME because neither of them support the right protocol. I've run into the "

<DE>

Aside from when that comes up, I don't really have any complaints. A tool we used for work was never going to be fully functional on Wayland because of its dependence on Xinerama (I think) but thankfully we've moved away from it.

Thank you for the update! I just gave it another go and don't seem to have any audio, and it still seems quite jittery - I'll have to play around with it some more and see what I can get working on it :)

It's been a while since I setup a fresh install of Fedora, but it looks like this might've been changed in Fedora 38?

As far as I can tell, they still "promote" their own repo, but it'll come up with stuff from Flathub if it's not in Fedora's own flatpak repo.

If there's anything that I've learned, it's that lawsuits are more often than not, just a joke to the large companies.

Hell it's often easier for them to just classify whatever fine they get slapped on the wrist with as a business expense, than to do the right thing, it seems.

For myself, I'm fine with using ChatGPT and other LLMs (I've been experimenting with trying to run them locally, so that I can gain some insight on them a bit better) to "fill in the gaps", or as a sort of interactable Wikipedia - but I try to avoid asking LLMs something that I have zero knowledge of, because it then makes it a bit more difficult to verify the results it produces.

SteamOS before 3.0 was based on Debian, but with 3.0 they decided to move away from Debian and now use (immutable) Arch.

Interesting, I'll give it another go and try out your recommendations - thank you!!

It uses the Marian library via WASM (their wrapper for this is here) to do translations, which AFAICT is "AI" based (which I presume knocks the file size down quite a bit) - additionally, the language packs (I'm not sure what term to use here so I'll just go with that) are not all bundled with Firefox, they're downloaded when you first use them.

The previous incarnation of it, the Firefox extension's repo was found over here - I assume the code is now within Firefox's main repo since its built into Firefox now.

Does Chrome's run locally on the machine, or does it ferry it over to Google Translate?

Firefox's is done locally, it is not cloud based.
