It's an optional, opt-in, experimental feature that leverages multiple different backends that you can choose from.

Which company profits despite consistently poor quality products? 🤔

Say what you will about #PINE64, the #pinetime is a great product. Super inexpensive and quite practical. My gyroscope broke months ago when the watch fell out of my bag, but I’m still enjoying it even without the step counter. I feel like the new firmware has also improved the battery life a ton. Sometimes I only lose 5% battery per day. Today I played a few rounds of 2048 so battery went down a bit more. Got a new personal best! 10576! Have yet to make a 2048 block.

Just installed an Electron app because *surely* it would be more lightweight than having a dedicated #WebKit browser (#suckless #surf) for just that one web app, right?

NOPE.

<282 MiB RAM for Surf
>630 MiB RAM for #Electron

Good gravy. XD

#CommandLine warriors, I discovered something neat recently:

https://github.com/mwh/dragon

It lets you do drag-and-drop from the command-line, so if you want to, for example, upload a file onto a forum post you're typing up, you can find/create the file on the command line, run `dragon ${filename}`, and then drag and drop the file onto your browser window.

Not sure how well it works in Wayland, though. It's a pretty old program.

Microsoft’s canceled Xbox cloud console gets detailed in new patent https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/26/24186639/microsoft-xbox-cloud-console-keystone-patent-images #news

Hey @siosm and @cgwalters we've got #fedora 's CoreOS kernel and have our test image out. M2 did the work:

https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pkgs/container/bluefin/235137677?tag=gts-testing-coreos

Basically I was looking for a more conservative kernel cadence for our `gts` images and just had to try it. I can't wait to see how this combination works in practice.

Valve should bring back the #SteamController. it should fix the first version's biggest flaw (lack of d-pad) and learn from more recent developments. here is a prototype of what it could look like 😏.

been using my Steam Controller almost exclusively for PC games since sometime last year

4 months ago I swapped out the thumbstick with one from another controller. way more comfy to use than what the SC came with (tho it's also wearing out already), and really helped solidify it as my favorite controller

very hopeful that a Steam Controller 2 happens sooner rather than later

#SteamController #SteamDeck

alongside updating my deck's SSD i might look into getting a used steam controller.

one downside to playing docked is that i don't have a controller with trackpads, and playing certain types of games with trackpads really makes the experience better. i'm not aware of any controller that uses trackpads other than one valve made. do people like using it?
