  • lol... I had a feeling it would take some drastic turns. That's great. No more spoilers, please. I do intend to get back to it.

    In case you're not familiar with it, Doki Doki Literature Club has some surprises, too. I enjoyed it even though visual novels are usually not my jam.

  • I only played through the first stage of the game before putting it aside. Thanks for reminding me that I ought to pick it up again and continue.

    (Nitpick: Unique doesn't have degrees. A thing can be very, very unusual, or it can be unique if nothing else like it exists.)

  • Doesn’t Steam run basically everything, including the client itself, inside the Steam Container Runtime now?

    What makes you think that? I don't remember any announcements to that effect.

    Last time I checked, Steam used pressure-vessel (the container) only for games, not for itself. But I haven't been following changes in that area lately.

  • That’s internal US politics that I have no interest in starting my day with.

    The exposition that you've latched onto is typical of news articles everywhere. As with countless others, the article conveys more than that. You don't have to value the exposition. The headline conveniently gives you all you need in order to decide whether to skip it.

    The news here is that a significant portion of the world's trees, upon which we all depend, are being put on the chopping block. I consider that world news, just as I do when Brazil does it.

  • The first things I would try would be:

    • Using an X11 desktop session instead of Wayland.
    • Using a different Proton version.
    • Making sure those width/height/refresh command line options are valid and match my monitor's native specs. (By the way, DXVK_FRAME_RATE is for Direct3D 8/9/10/11 games running with DXVK, and doesn't set the display's refresh rate in any case. It won't help you with this problem.)

    After that, I would start reading the discussion here:

    https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3291

    This comment seems relevant, as does this one. There are plenty more.

    DXVK_FRAME_RATE

  • correctional officers labeled the more than 60 pages from the court “contraband” and charged Bishop with “abuse of the mail system.” After filing a formal complaint, officers put Bishop in a lockdown cell for four days with a man accused of “inflicting harm on another inmate” and manufacturing a weapon, according to court and prison disciplinary records.

  • IMHO, though, a couple hundred dollars more up front, is worth the headaches down the road from a shitty install.

    Unfortunately, it's nothing but overhead cost for people who are sufficiently skilled and can follow electrical codes. Sigh.

  • Do you know where to get drop-in replacement Hall effect sticks for a DualShock 4 or DualSense? (Maybe they're easy to find now; I haven't looked in a while.) I have a soldering iron and would probably buy a set.

    Edit:

    I just learned that TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) sticks now exist, and are easier to retrofit in Sony controllers, apparently because they use less power and therefore don't need an additional circuit board. Thanks for renewing my interest.

    1. I don't know, but according to this page, it seems there is some kind of profile support. I assume it's part of the Android Open Source Project.
    2. (Good thing I noticed that you edited your comment to insert this question.) I am not aware of an effective Google Play sandbox from any OS other than GrapheneOS. It doesn't affect me either way, since I don't use Google services.
    3. Storage encryption is built in to Android these days. I don't remember whether the latest version does it with file-based encryption or full-device encryption. (Both have been used in the past.)
    4. It depends on who your adversary is. For example, a Google employee or a government might have remote access to a back door planted in a Pixel, but not to your boot loader. On the other hand, a TSA employee might be able to pwn your phone if granted physical access, but unable to do anything remotely. Pixels are generally more resistant to to physical access attacks because they allow user-supplied keys and boot loader re-locking, but there are companies that sell tools aiming to bypass even these protections, so I wouldn't bet my life on them.
