I recall it comes with a USB dongle for 6GHz Wifi streaming. That's most likely going to be supported on Linux

Same here. I've been interested in VR for a couple of years, and it was either get an old & used Index/Vive (yuck) that you couldn't easily get replacement parts for or wait for the Frame. Meta was never a consideration because fuck those assholes

A hooker is a subset of sex workers. You wouldn't call someone that makes most of their money on OnlyFans a hooker, but they are sex workers

And I hate how apt it is for the platform. I'm honestly surprised there isn't an instance called lemmy.winks yet

Well shit. Now I feel bad for Lazerpig repeatedly using his picture when making fun of Brexit supporters

Thanks for the heads up!

Tbh, the price is about what I expected as well. Not horribly different from a fully decked out Valve Index when they were new, and theyre including the controllers alongsode the headset this time.

You'd hope it'd have been cheaper due to the lack of external sensors to buy, but inflation and ram/storage prices going up was inevitable. I just hope it's not DOA from people comparing it to Meta's (heavily subsidized) options

Like, the animation was sick (especially for the time)

Tbh, this is the only reason why. The story is severely underdeveloped, but at the time big improvements in tech were what sold audiences.

I kinda feel the same way about the Star Wars: A New Hope. The story was fairly anemic and did a poor job of explaining anything that was going on. It felt like an old Greek myth in terms of how things just happen as opposed to a continuous series of cause and effect. But A New Hope revolutionized media because it was the first movie to really depict alternate worlds well, giving it that technological advantage at the box office that ut wouldn't get if it released today

I don't think he actually loves her the way he does with the other 3.

Hence the /s

From what I've heard, it's just Roxy, Sylphie, and Eris that he marries.

Though there's more messed up pairings with the other characters that I've heard of

Tbf, how the fuck do you explain all this? Not saying you're wrong about needing to be open to spouses, but Rudy's situation is damned messy. From Sylphie and Roxy's perspective, there's just a random dead guy that shows up in the house in the middle of the night. That alone is suspicious. And given that Oldeus was already dead by that point, they only have Rudy's account of what was said. If Rudy just explained what was said to them and they just accepted it without question it'd be unrealistic.

Also, I don't think they're aware that Rudy was reincarnated and that he was in his 30's when he died in his previous life. This detail has huge implications on how he's interacted with them since they first met. And Oldeus knowing Rudy's original name is the main proof behind him being from the future at that point, as Rudy hadn't frozen/found the rat yet.

Rudy's reincarnation would need to be revealed to explain everything. While Cliff can probably see it with his new demon eye he's unlikely to leak that detail given how much they've been through. The only other way it could be revealed is if the Man-God tells someone else. Honestly, keeping his future self (and by extension his reincarnation) secret is the simplest solution. I get that keeping secrets from your spouse is bad, but his actions here are understandable given the lopsided risks between being open and being secret.

The big issue is how does he restart contact with Eris? Just sending a letter out of the blue is suspicious (though it's unlikely Eris will pick up on it) and Rudy still has mixed feelings about her. The other options are to try to engineer a more natural seeming situation for them to meet up (which isn't good due to the manipulation involved) or to just wait for Eris to show up on her own and hope things go smoothly.

That being said, in that last option I listed it'd probably go better than it did for Oldeus since Rudy won't be grieving for Roxie and Sylphie and also he knows that Eris's aggression is from her caring for him and being terrible at communication. Personally, I think letting Eris just show up on her own and letting things work out naturally would be the least manipulative option at this point. But doing so is a risk, and with Sylphie's and Roxy's safety already being threatened Rudy's probably not willing to take chances

I've been getting "Operation not permitted" errors on some (but not all) files in a particular folder that's synced between Linux (Nobara) and Android. After multiple weeks of grief to trying to track down a fix, I've finally found the cause.

Turns out, Android can't handle special characters like ":" in file names, while the filesystem I have on Linux (btrfs) does. Changing all colons to another character like "_" in the filename prevents the error and allows syncing.

Devs, can you please look into adding a more specific error message for this? It'll likely save multiple people similar amounts of frustration.

Also, I would have preferred to submit the error/change request via GitHub, but that's not allowed, and I don't want to make yet another account just to post on your forums.

 

Just a reminder to everyone who hasn't thought about it, but the Steam Deck works pretty good as an home theater PC.

I mainly watched Youtube on my smart TV before, but over the past year its remote reciever has been spotty. Eventually I learned that GrayJay has a flatpak version, which allows you to watch Youtube, Nebula, Patreon, Peertube, etc in a single interface without ads. And adding the flatpak as a non-Steam game to access it in Game Mode is easy.

Since my TV has enough physical buttons that I can manually switch the inputs without the remote, I could use the Steam Deck like an old physical Roku or ChromeCast.

I know some of you don't like the group behind GrayJay (FUTO) or have Jellyfin servers and could get more use out of Kodi instead. That's perfectly fine. The main point of the post is to encourage y'all to think outside the box on what you can use your Decks for, because it doesn't have to just be for games.

 

I've been trying to get Eden emulator set up in Nobara the past couple of days. I was able to get the AppImage working via Gear Lever and get various roms hooked up.

The trouble is that the File/Edit/Help/etc. Tabs at the top of the window are needed for a lot of settings, and they seem to be missing. I'm not sure if this is a Wayland problem, but I forced it to run through XWayland with the command:

env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY

The menus are still missing even in XWayland, and I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I'm still a Linux noob right now. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but any help is appreciated

Hi, first time posting in this community, so sorry if this doesn't belong.

I've been (slowly) designing some customizable input devices via a hobbyist license of Fusion360 the past few years. Unfortunately, Autodesk decided to remove the hobbyist tier and made all my files read-only, so now I need to migrate everything to a new software. For some background, I'm a mechanical engineer with experience in NX, Solid Edge, Solid Works, and Inventor, though I mainly code for my specific job.

My question is: what would be the best software for my use case?

OnShape

  • Has version control
  • Collaboration tools so other people can precisely fork and adjust dimensions to fit their needs
  • Professional-grade software, so less friction or need to find work arounds for some functions
  • Free tier automatically makes my designs open source. While I don't want to release until it's at v1.0, it's not a deal breaker
  • The software isn't open source, and I'm worried about them doing the same thing as Fusion360 in a year or so

FreeCAD

  • No built-in version control, and updates to files can't be tracked by Git
  • It's a bit jank to use, honestly. I'm trying to port my stuff over to it for now, but I'm having to force myself to do the work
  • Open source, so no worries about rug pulls
  • Can upload the original CAD files to a Git repository, and users can install the software and make adjustments themselves

OpenSCAD

  • Coding-based design means Git should be able to track updates
  • Significantly different to use from other CAD software, which is a downside for me. Part of the benefit to me for this project is to keep my CAD skills polished for work as a mechanical engineer, since my specific job doesn't do much with CAD
  • Open source
  • Users can easily make adjustments

Blender

  • Focus on meshes means it works very different from other CAD packages, and I explained why that's a downside previously
  • From what I understand, Git can't track changes between versions
  • Open source
  • Users can make adjustments, but being focused on meshes instead of precision means adjustments are more difficult

Is there any other software that I'm not aware of that fits my use case? Are some of my points about OpenSCAD and/or Blender wrong? Is there something else that's off? Helpful feedback is appreciated

Can everyone please stop claiming and speculating that Valve's new hardware will be loss leaders? If you watch LTT and Gamers Nexus's first videos on the announcement, they actually spoke with Valve's engineers. And the Valve representatives already said that the new hardware WILL NOT BE LOSS LEADERS.

There isn't even evidence that the Steam Deck was a loss leader. All GabeN said was that the lowest cost launch model was priced "painfully", which doesn't necessarily mean it was sold at a loss, it could easily have been sold at a very tight margin.

And no, low margins does not meet the definition of a loss leader. A loss leader is a product sold below cost, in that every unit sold actually costs the seller money.

I get the desire to speculate on new hardware. It's fun and it helps pass the time until we hear more info from Valve. But there's limits to what is reasonable. Valve has already stated that the new hardware won't be loss leaders, so hoping and/or claiming they are isn't reasonable.

Sorry for the rant, but all of the comments that seem to have only skimmed headlines are quickly getting to me

 

I'm going to making the plunge to Linux on my main gaming PC soon and I'm trying to make the final decision between Bazzite or Fedora. I've done enough customization on my Steam Deck that I know Bazzite will handle almost all of my use cases for this system, with one potential loose end.

I'm getting back into Skyrim modding and am planning to pull my portable Mod Organizer 2 install over. I've seen guides on it for Linux, so that's not as much of a concern. But, I'm wondering if it'll be a problem with Bazzite, as it's an immutable distro.

I have 3 drives on the system: 1 for the OS and 2 for storage. The MO2 install is very large between its internal downloads folder and tons of installed texture mods. Because of that, most of the modding will be done off of one of the storage drives. I'll also need some extra software like Microsoft C++ compiler.

Am I going to be fighting Bazzite the entire time with this setup? I'd prefer to run Bazzite if it won't be a hassle, but I'm not opposed to running Fedora if need be

 

A friend of mine linked me to this seller earlier today. They have some pretty tempting deals, but I've never heard of them before.

Has anyone bought from them before and was it worth it?

 

I've been kicking around the idea of running a server for games and chat woth some of my friends, but worry about everyone getting cut off when there's a disruption.

I've started looking into kubernetes out of curiosity, and it seems like we could potentially set up a cluster with master nodes at 3+ locations to hose whatever game server or chat server that we want with 100% uptime, solving my concerns.

Am I misunderstanding the kubernetes documentation, and this is just a terrible idea? Or am I on the right track?

If anyone else is watching this series, the music that kicks in around 24:30 is straight from the Skyrim soundtrack, specifically the title "Awake"

Before anyone thinks I'm talking about the new Decky plugin: no, that's not what this is about.

I'm trying to get universal FSR up and running on my deck. I've looked up several guides like this one, but no matter what I do the FSR option won't show up.

To me it looks like a software update changed how the settings work, and none of the guides have been updated to reflect that.

Does anyone know how get it up and running? I've been trying for hours with no luck.

I got this cart racer a few days ago and ended up spending a whole day playing. In terms of mechanics, I think it gives even newer Mario Kart titles a run for their money, plus it has mod support so players can make their own tracks, characters, and vehicle options. And the base tracks are nothing to scoff at, they work for both novices and speedrunners, with parts of the track unlocking as laps are completed
