Wii-Fit-ass scale

I think the person upset about the anime girl on gitlab is pretty silly! “What if my girlfriend sees and thinks I’m into that?” It’s not inappropriate, it’s just a drawing. And if she’s that concerned for some reason, you could just explain?

My old keyboard was a cheap $30 membrane one, and it was a painted metal plate with a plastic shell on the back for the internals. The edge of it was rounded, but it was still just a single edge, maybe 5mm thick, so I used to give myself bruises trying to flick in FPS games. They were literally just a vertical line on my thumb.

I’m surprised by the love here for the number pad! I saw mainly benefits for getting a 60 or 65% when I was considering a keyboard kit:

• More space for moving my mouse to the left. I play FPS games with a pretty low sensitivity, and I used to flick my thumb into my keyboard.
• More portable. My keyboard can connect with Bluetooth or usb-c so it’s nice to be able to use with a tablet
• Less switches to lube and install when I assembled it
• No redundant keys, though I had to learn traditionally typing numbers. But now I don’t have to move my hand position to type them.

I do prefer vim for text editing, so I have less use for some of the special keys. But they’re still nice to have for shortcuts or keybinds.

That surprises me to hear that gamescope doesn’t have issues with it, seeing as it’s not designed for managing floating windows. Does the game implement its own window system, or does gamescope have a window system?

(Replying to myself) Even if these numbers are legit, we don’t know the process or exact metrics used.

This data may include falsely banned players on Linux (which was reported before they restricted Linux) and may exclude many cheaters on Windows (any of those who weren’t caught). We don’t know.

They tweeted this graph in early December:

[…] In this chart, we're displaying the infection rate, or the rate of matches that had a cheater present. […]

Note how the graph is missing labels and how neither it nor the tweet include information on how these metrics were gathered.

Even if Meta makes better hardware (let’s say they just consistently make headsets that are 20% faster, lighter, and cheaper than the equivalent Android XR headset), I still don’t think that will matter in the long run[…]

I disagree with this conclusion. I think XR will remain mainly used for immersive experiences, rather than a stand-in for a phone or tablet. For that, price, performance and comfort all matter!

I can’t wait to give them a shot!

From my experience, phasmo’s proximity chat works in-game, but not in the lobby.

My ds4 works out of the box— the touchpad even maps to the mouse cursor (I use libinput and Wayland).

Ds4drv, if you use it, will override the default kernel driver I believe. Make sure it’s not emulating an Xbox 360 controller, unless you want that.

ArchWiki also mentions that you need to disable hidraw in Wine. Maybe that’s related, if you have issues with Windows games?

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could compile Marlin yourself. I did it to use a pin as an “off” signal for my fans, but ended up tinkering with options like linear advance. The set up isn’t too hard, but you need vscode.
