I only buy accessories that will work without having to manually install anything. The whole concept of end users installing drivers can go to hell.

yes this needs details.

I was wondering how arbitrary code execution was harming pirates… I’ve been watching too much any% speedrunning

Oh I didn’t know about this. Is there an easy way to check if the current setup has proprietary firmware in use?

If there’s nothing wrong beyond the hideous consmetic damage sure.

Some distros have some very specific images like this one that I would install if I had the same computer:

That’s too bad. From what I can find online there are a bunch that have in kernel drivers but I can’t personally vouch for any of them. I haven’t seen any reports of linux compatible usb bt dongles above 5.0 so far but that might just be Google’s fault for making internet searching garbage.

watch the reason be epic and/or gog not wanting their stores to be thought of as ‘junk’

I would have thought its embarrasing that they couldnt provide real hardware for an official museum

what kind of computer? does it have wifi already? Its not usb but the ones I always get are the intel wifi+bt units. I bought a few wifi6e + bt5.2 recently each in different form factor for my laptop, desktop, and steam deck. apart from the deck which is soldered on and I don’t have time for yet, the pcie and m.2 wifi and bt combo cards work out of the box on bazzite.

If its a laptop or desktop that has antenna on the motherboard io panel then it probably has an m.2 card that can be swapped for a bt integrated one and you could jump to wifi 6e at the same time. or wait for wifi7 and whatever bt version will exist then I guess.

I bought the parts for that, install pending time off.

yeah I’ll stick to the other way around

ryujinx literally minutes before it was shut down. on steam deck at least it seems impossible for the audio to stay in sync and occasionally you have to pause emulation and resume after the sound stops to bring it back in sync. Maybe a spot of lag or frame drop when some things happen for the first time, but mostly stable 30fps. I’ll probably switch to desktop once I have space to set it up if the audio desync doesn’t happen there.

ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.

inb4 the appearance of forks called buymiinx, suemiinx, and hijinx

I mean we just got the info on the cups one where you execute arbitrary code by trying to print

damn. that’s a pretty shit one.

Everything that people try to convince me is good about it just feels so counter intuitive. It also looks like it should be touch friendly, but I tried it on steam deck and it just absolutely wasn’t. We have decades of touch interface design on phones and tablets yet somehow it’s worse than the flop tablets that came before ipad. But to each their own I suppose. Some people absolutely love it and it works for them. That’s a big part of open source computing, one can chose the desktop environment with the most unlikeable devs if it makes them happy.

Anyway spin up a vm when you get a chance and try it. Try all of them if you can find the time. I find a lot of them kinda nostalgic and I really like tiling wm’s for feeling like a power nerd and making my computer completely unusable to my friends. Mostly I just use kde though.

I installed it just to see if maybe I was wrong about gnome being shit and even if it still is maybe vanilla is good enough to put up with it. I never fucking learn.

So this requires some kind of existing tracking software? Are there existing FOSS options for that part?

My current job doesn’t need time tracking (yet?, some of my work is for the sister company) but a job I worked before had us clock in and out for specific projects on a computer, but the subscription ended and we were using a UI glitch to continue using it and literally cheat engine to make it still export the files for the office to use.

I haven’t used I2P since high school or maybe earlier if it existed then. Was it one of those faster the more people are using it things? I was skimming over setting up the docker container thinking even if I don’t use it myself it might help others (and I have unlimited data on the isp plan) but I haven’t gotten around to actually setting it up.
