Confetti Camouflage

His actual computer related stuff has good advice in it but a lot surrounding that advice is indeed pretty sus or extrapolates to clownish end analysis. Like Ford patenting a speeding snitcher to put in their cars that reports other nearby speeding vehicles to the police is going to lead to the end of non-autonomous driving. I wonder if “car dependency” means anything to him. Just engage with it critically.

I use a PS5 controller connected through an 8bitdo USB adapter 2. It works great and has a much more stable connection compared to the bluetooth adapter I used to use. I’ve had no issues using it in xinput mode on Linux; games pick it up as a normal xbox controller and just work. The adapter also works great for bringing your own contoller to friends’ houses for any console party games without having to do the bluetooth pairing roundup minigame. The only real issues I have with it is that there’s no auto disconnect when it’s idle, and as you mentioned the firmware flashing tools are all Windows only.

Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that’s the same situation it is on Windows.

Is there actually an Agenda2030 or is it just late stage enshittification?

I use gifski

It’s designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif

To be fair on most Android devices sideloading isn’t a very meaningful term, but on locked down devices like iOS it is.

If we both play the same one online at the same time do we risk a ban?

Yes.

I noticed that previous articles about it mentioned you could actually fake certificates and make it seem like two different games were playing? Does anyone know if that’s still a thing?

You would still be risking a ban.

Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.

It is used in the Launch Options of a Steam game. %command% just gets replaced by whatever Steam would use to launch the game. It’s useful to set up anything before the game actually launches, such as setting environment variables or run scripts.

Alright, you got me. I mainly care about the GPL license and the ability to modify your own devices as you like. But that doesn’t make as good of a one liner.

Unironically the importance of being GNU/Linux instead of just Linux.

I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven’t used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.

Closest thing I know of would be SimulaVR.

No, this is for game developers to make it easier to add more realistic sound propagation to their games, particularly for virtual reality games.

While Vendetta may still work for now, the devs have officially stopped working on Vendetta as of February 6th

Here is a website that keeps track of the latest YouTube anti-adblock scripts and if uBlock Origin’s filters are updated to bypass it: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/

The Pokemon part fucking killed me. No need to write your own jokes when reality writes them for you.

Not sure if you’re sticking with World Tour specifically for your mods but Clone Hero has a native Linux build. There’s also rips of nearly every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game that you can add to it.

The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.

The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application’s config files, cache, etc.

There are many applications that don’t follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.
