or

This came up in a playlist that was randomly playing. It sounds like a really popular song that I've heard before, but I'll never think of the name on my own.

Can anyone help me out?

I'm at the Elite Four, but my team is horribly underleveled. I don't know how I was allowed to get this far with a team that's so underprepared, but here I am.

Right now, all I can see is literally grinding wild Pokemon in Victory Road. Is there a better way?

Hopefully no issues crop up, but I'll let you know if they do!

I came from Java, so it kind of makes sense.

I'm glad the Rust devs thought to allow disabling non-snake_case warnings.

This language is actually really great and versatile. (I also use tabs instead of spaces)

I don't need anything special or pricey, just a basic controller that does basic controller things.

I've tried a few generic controllers, but they have issues with bluetooth, battery life, and automatically shutting off too early from idling.

Does anyone know of any generic controllers that don't have these issues? I don't mind if the battery life isn't the same or better than official controllers, but they shouldn't straight up lie about the capacity. It should be illegal.

Update: I ended up going with a generic PS4 controller from Walmart. The brand is Yuoy, which I am unfamiliar with but I'm willing to see for myself how good their controller is.

This is the one I got https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/5486552170 and so far I am satisfied. It's a bit heavier than the other generic controllers I have, which I hope is a sign of a bigger battery. The d-pad isn't quite as good as the legendary Sony d-pads, but I'm getting used to it. It's not nearly as bad as the 360 or logitech d-pads, for example. I think it's pretty good.

I'm also not having the issue with it turning off after 5 minutes of idle time. So far, it hasn't turned off at all from idling. I'm not sure if there's no auto-shutoff at all, or it may just be respecting my Steam setting to have it shut off after an hour of idle time. I don't feel like testing it right now.

So far, for $17 this controller seems to be acceptable. I'd still like to shut off the touchpad, but that's not really the controller's fault.

I will continue testing and update this if I have any issues. As it stands right now, I'm looking forward to getting another one and hope it's the same.

Update: I am having issues reconnecting the controller after I disconnect it with bluetooth. I need to go through the re-pairing process by holding the share button (select) and the PS button. The controller shows up as connected for a few seconds, then goes back with the other disconnected devices saying the connection failed. This is a big issue. I will try to see if I can find an easy fix, if not then this is enough to make me return the controller.

Here's a video documenting the issue: https://freediverse.com/w/2DVMHpkjaA4rcX8WqhuKts

2nd Update: I decided to try another one from the same brand, but with a different D-pad. This is the controller I got https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wireless-Controller-for-PS4-Remote-Game-Joystick-Compatible-with-Playstation-4-PS4-Slim-PS4-Pro-PC-Blue-Crystal/5355337991

It's still $17, but the D-pad is better and most importantly, I'm not having the re-connection issues I was having previously. I guess the issue really is with the specific controller.

Since this one is slightly different than the previous, I'm going to end up returning the previous one and getting another one of these. I want to see if there is any consistency among the ones with this kind of D-pad.

It sucks how difficult it is to find compatible hardware for a good price, but I'm willing to go through the effort so that more people can know that we can be getting products for cheaper.

I am going to continue testing to see if any issues crop up. Otherwise, if I don't update this then you can assume this controller is The One. For $17, it's the best deal I can find for Linux gaming controllers.

Title: Has anyone tried Riseup VPN?

I’ve been experimenting with some free VPNs, and it looks like Riseup is legit. I’m able to torrent on it without issue and the speeds are acceptable for my connection.

How come we don’t recommend this more? Everyone is always saying “no free vpns,” but how many of you have actually tried them? I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup.

Are we just being hustled by the viral marketers and their useful idiots?

Why did this post get removed for spam, but the post about a paid VPN stays up?

Are the mods just removing posts that get reported, regardless of if rules are being broken? If so, they should consider how most people paying for a product will get very defensive whenever someone mentions they could be getting that product for free.

I've had one thread locked and another removed for daring to suggest a free VPN.

What rules was I breaking? It looks like the mods are just censoring me without breaking any rules because they know they can get away with it.

Edit for when this post is censored:

There are proud consumers making up bullshit that "riseup doesn't want people using their VPN unless they donate, and they don't want people using it for torrenting."

That's complete malarkey pulled straight from their rectum. Here's a quote from the website that none of them read before spouting their nonsense: "This is an experiment to see if we can create a VPN service that is easy enough for everyone to use and that people will donate enough to sustain."

You guys are literally making up bullshit to justify why you're wasting money, then getting mad at and censoring anyone who tells you that you can be getting something for free.

It's an expected response, even among piracy communities unfortunately.

Consumerism runs deep.

Edit for the mod who locked this post after responding so I can't reply back (nice):

I'm not being any more abrasive than the people in my comments, which isn't breaking any rules. I'm also not off-topic, and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to peddle that lie.

Can you explain why my previous posts were locked/removed? Or do the mods just get away with censorship while I get punished for calling it out?

Reply to mod here because post is locked:

I locked the previous thread, because it was kinda offtopic and far from a constructive discussion

It was not off-topic, and the only people being non-constructive were those in the comments making up bullshit to justify their consumerism.

I’m not the one who locked this thread, but I can fully understand the decision, considering that there are 4 reports for this post alone

Cool. So you admit the mods will censor posts just because of reports? It has nothing to do with actually breaking any rules?

I've used Godot, which works great but I'm wondering if there are other ways.

Does anyone have experience using Qt with Rust and Qt Designer?

Are there any other drag and drop options that you think are viable?
