Are you a quantum particle? You can either know your location or your velocity but not both.

Why don’t you just get rid of NM? Like you said it’s more intended for easy default cases.

Like that monkey experiment where they put food on top of a ladder but every time someone tries to get the food everybody gets sprayed with cold water. When they stop trying to get food they take one monkey out and put a new one in who gets beaten up by the others when it tries to get the food. So they substitute in new monkeys until none of the originals are left but they still beat up anyone trying to get the food although they don’t know why.

bjoern_tantau,

Yeah, probably.

Anyways, let’s eat some non-pig meat and chop off some foreskins!

Spectator. Beholders are even more dangerous.

NTFS can’t handle Linux file permissions. It is not suited as a system drive.

And supposedly it can give you problems if you use it to store your Steam games. I never cared to test that, though.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Just go with whatever is the default of your distribution.

That said I’ve come to love the automatic snapshots OpenSUSE gives me with BTRFS. I think they use snapper to automate that. It does a snapshot before and after every packet install, update or removal. And it has some system to delete snapshots that aren’t needed anymore but it always keeps enough to give you peace of mind, especially when you’re experimenting.

I should look into keeping some snapshots of my ~ as well. And I should implement that especially for my family.

The heterosexual couple next door is so nice, though.

The popular opinion is that it was easier for them to get up-to-date packages that way.

My opinion: It’s just what the people working on the Deck were using at the time themselves.

Other reason might be that they had SteamOS 2 based on Debian and probably had some problems with it that they could solve on Arch more easily.

Wasn’t Volvo the company where some exec got run over when they wanted to demonstrate the automatic emergency stop feature? And all this after they gifted seatbelts to the world.

You could append the chmod command with && but that’s probably not what you wanted.

why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

You actually can connect a Steam Deck to another PC. Look for the DeckMTP plugin on Decky Loader.

MTP is the thing Android uses when you connect your phone to a PC. It should be possible to install on any PC. Don’t know about Windows but there’s probably a solution for that as well.

Don’t know what happens when both devices have it. I’d suspect that they would both be able to access each other’s drive.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yeah, that’s why I don’t have it installed. Sftp is more than enough. But that’s not what OP was asking.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The standards are supposed to be the stable thing. If some part of GNOME advertises itself as following a specific standard then it should remain stable in following that standard.

I activated ray tracing in Hellblade on my Deck the other day and was surprised that it made barely a dent in the FPS. I guess it either didn’t work or Hellblade barely uses it.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Has it ever been better?

What happened was that they made a fuckton of money that way.

Ports of older PC games are also often quite good.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

So and so. Unreal Tournament 2003 came with a bootable Linux CD that went right to the game. Awesome concept but apparently they didn’t keep it up.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I just lowered the difficulty. All it did was make them take longer to kill anyways. Making it easier actually fit the narrative for me. Everything felt as epic as it should be.

My kids, 9 and 11, use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Mainly because that’s what I use. They were with me when I set it up to choose a name for the computer, a username and a password (for their user and for the disc encryption).

I showed them how to configure wobbly windows (most important part) and how to use Discover to install games.

I installed Minecraft. I installed Steam (which has its own parental controls). I configured emails, Nextcloud and a password manager. I configured automatic updates.

I think that’s about it.

They’re responsible. They ask me for help if they need some. We educate them about people they meet online in Minecraft and other games. Works well so far.

Assassin is actually amazing!

I hadn’t tried it in 2 different playthroughs because it’s rated really low online. But since I’ve used the other builds already, I figured I’d give it a go for Astarion in this new playthrough. He has an item that makes him invisible for two turns whenever he kills someone, which basically makes him a one man killing...

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Uhm, that item is only available when you play Dark Urge, right?

bjoern_tantau,

I guess we now have a timeframe in which to expect the release of Windows.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I wonder if this is of any use to them or if they’re already too far ahead.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

They changed it to MIT. You can basically do what you want with it.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Still no good virtual keyboard. If onboard worked on wayland that would be perfect.

Not perfect integration but with a workaround Onboard is somewhat usable.

On my Steam Deck I’m mostly using Steam’s keyboard with Maliit for logins and the lock screen and Onboard in case I need special keys.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The most important thing I take away from this is that I have to install that cat.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Here, let me downvote your comment for you. Can you feel that?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Problem is that it’s usually not a finished game. The old way at least gave stupid players a way to punish bad publishers.

This is a bad move for the customers.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Gives a whole new meaning to Kernel Panic.

bjoern_tantau,

Honor mode is the only one with legendary actions. You can always just keep playing when you die.

My first attempt was with a Githyanki monk. Easy Peasy. Most mess-ups I had were due to misclicks. Like when I killed half of the guests at the Tiefling party.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Don’t know. All I do know is that you cannot enable them for an already started game.

And to this day it’s a glitch in the Matrix.

I was so hyped for TF2. By the time it was actually released I didn’t even play FPSs anymore.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

In that case please state which Wayland support it has. That’s the beauty of standards, there are so many to choose from. And in the case of Wayland keyboards you have to know which one the keyboard and which the compositor supports, making it extra easy for the user.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Look at the extest readme, everything is there.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

How?

I mean, I got a different solution by now, but would be nice to know for the future.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I’ll have to try the uinput setting. Maybe the workaround isn’t needed after all. Or at least it doesn’t have to be so convoluted.

But yeah, it’s really just a dirty placeholder until we can get a proper solution in the next 50 years or so.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Not on Plasma Desktop. Maybe on Mobile. But I was not able to find out how to get it to Desktop.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

What distribution? No such thing for me with Plasma 6 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Sounds like Chemical X, the key ingredient to a Powerpuff Girl (besides sugar and spice and everything nice).
