So… Is that kinda like a linux subsystem for windows?

I’m sarcastically referring to microsofts telemetry, UI changes, and anything else they try to sell that a lot of people simply don’t want or like.

I’m on the Index. Afaik steamvr is the only thing that really works on linux.

Ah! A fellow beat saber enjoyer.

I’d argue that a lot of the other “additions” and “improvements” make any improvement in comfort irrelevant, as they are unbearable.

On a sidenote, you can set up a generic bottle in Bottles, and then set things up so that double clicking any miscellaneous .exe files just runs them in that bottle.

Search can be a bit iffy. It can only find stuff your local instance has indexed in its database, which is usually quite a lot. But it can have blind spots.

I haven’t used jerboa in a while, but apps like Thunder let you define whether you want to search communities, users, posts, etc.

There is also lemmyverse.net which tries to index all instances so you can search the entire lemmyverse.

Others have made long lists. But really, it boils down to just one thing.

We need stop growing for growths sake, at the expense of literally everything else.

We are screwing up the environment, science, technology, education, childhood, health, work, art, communication, transportation, and everything else, just so number can go up.

The way I moderate, is to be unashamedly selfish, with a sprinkling of impartiality.

Basically, I do whatever I would want “the mods” to do if I were a user. Obviously, there are other users, but since the point of me bothering with the whole thing is to facilitate the kind of activity I personally enjoy, considerations for people who want my communities to be something different, is simply not a priority.

Unless I joined a mod team that existed already, I decide.

If someone complains or has a suggestion, I do make an effort to actually consider what they are saying, but then I still decide what will or won’t happen. I’m doing the work in order to have communities I actually like, not the adoration of a bunch of thankful users. If you compromise on the former for the latter, why even put in the effort? Either way, there will be a set of people who like what you do, and a set of people don’t. So why please other people at the expense of pleasing yourself?

Unless you actually open things up to be voted on, the goal is to be a benevolent dictator. You can’t please everyone, but that doesn’t mean you have to make yourself one of the unhappy ones. You may be a mod, but we’re ALL users. That means what you want to do, even as a mod, matters too.

There is also Solaar, which has tray battery status support and keyboard support.

I use both, as both have features the other doesn’t.

I’m using Solaar to have a taskbar icon with the battery status of my G305 and G915. It also lets you set DPIs, polling rates and stuff.

Piper is able to configure the G305s buttons.

When I need macros or some keys rebound on the G915, I just use a generic button remapper.

OpenRGB supports configuring the RGB on the G915. Solaar does too, but in a much clunkier way.

Fingers crossed m$ takes that option away as they’re threatening they might after the crowdstrike debacle.

Even if it doesn’t happen, all is not lost. Apex Legends for example, does in fact work in proton, meaning Respawn debilarately enabled proton support in their EAC config.

Battlefield meanwhile, is a complete shit-show I hear.

Perchance there’s hope for you yet! Despite this happenstance of negativity.

Good sign.

Still worth trying a known good os install. If not a snapshot from earlier, some live iso sessions.

If the problem persists even there, it’ll indicate that your hardward is bowing out.

I will use irregardless to my dying breath. In fact I go out of my way to use dumb combinations of synonyms all the time, mayhaps, possentially…

You tried updating, but do you have snapshots set up to roll back to a time you’re sure it was working?

You can also use alternate UIs, or apps.

I run my own photon instance for use on desktop, but you can use the official one to use any lemmy account with the photon UI.

It doesn’t.

The limit is set by the people hosting your specific instance, as they’re the ones who then have to host that image.

Different instances have different limits.

You can use other image hosts, tho, as long as they give you a direct image link. Just plop it into the url field/use it in a markdown image, instead of uploading to lemmy.

No.

You can turn that off and just let the game access the controller directly. Steam will even tell you when using steaminput is a bad idea with a specific game.

Worth adding that several PS5 games that have come to PC support some of the special features of the DS5. For example, Ghost of Tsushima, Rift Apart and Forbidden West, will all utilize the adaptive triggers when played with a DS5.

And this works on both windows and linux.
