@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thank you. I was actually just looking for a 2D vector animation program.
@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.
@Plume The Witness has no menu and no savegames. When you boot it up, you're instantly exactly where you left off.
This doesn't work for all games, but I wish more games would do it like that.
@AnonStoleMyPants @tal And being able to pause a cutscene (That includes putting the system to sleep now!)
@DerpyPlayz18 They are not instant. I also don't feel comfortable giving my biometric data to some shady company just so I can unlock my phone.
@ijeff I'm never going to use passkeys because they require to have a lockscreen on the device, and I don't have one.
You might think "Isn't that kinda dangerous?"
And I say: My devices are never left unattended, so a lockscreen is just an obstacle to get back where I was. Honestly, try disabling your lockscreen. The fact that you can press one button and be right where you left off is priceless.
So, screw passkeys and their stupid rules.
@PuppyOSAndCoffee Probably nothing for a N900 but I've heard so much of it. I really should give it a try. How does Enlightenment run with older hardware? I'm talking 8-10 years old.
@Sentientted @CookieJarObserver The only gripe I have with the Pixel (4a in my case) is that the file system is so locked down, but that's just a modern Android thing. I wish I was able to change the default search engine but eh, can't complain.
I don't have a Pinephone personally, but #postmarketOS has come a long way and supposedly runs very well on recent hardware. Give it another 1-2 years and it will be rock solid for daily use.
@MonkderZweite Well, a window manager is for managing windows, right? So, having it also provide a list of windows to click on is resonable, in my opinion.
I should've added that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with 600 MHz and 256 MB RAM, both #XFCE and #LXDE are way too heavy for it. Also, most of their menus don't fit on the 800×480 pixel screen.
Honestly, that's all I want but stripped down so it can run on a system with 256 MB RAM.
@jthecoder @linux@lemmy.ml @linux@lemmy.world @linux@programming.dev @linux@sh.itjust.works
I haven't looked too deep into what's possible with the config files of i3 or awesome. Maybe I should do that first. I just assumed they would be too keyboard focused. I want everything to be visible on screen, so you don't have to remember hotkeys.
I am once again considering to write my own window manager
...unless the setup I am thinking of is already possible, let me construct this in your head:
On the top of the screen, there is narrow status bar, which is split into two parts. On the right side of the bar, you have your clock, your battery, your signal strength and so on.
On the left side, there is a clickable tab for every window you have opened. It's like browser tabs: Every window always uses the entire space below the status bar.
On the far left, there could be an icon which opens a searchable list of applications, kind of like #dmenu but vertical. Everything supports mouse input as you would expect.
Does that exist? Should I make it? It would be awesome for smaller screens, like phones.
Edit: I should add that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with a single 600 MHz CPU core, 256 MB RAM and a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Existing full desktop environments like Xfce4, LXDE, and so on are way to heavy to run.

@douglasg14b @fwygon I love Kagi. For technical topics, the search quality is unparalleled. For everything else it's about the same.
@aksdb @neon_arch Oh yes! I used SearXNG and it was quite slow.
@Lojcs You think so? It must do something on the hardware level. If you install something like @postmarketos and let the deivce just sit doing nothing with its screen off, the battery doesn't last nearly as long as with Android. There must be some trickery going on...
How does sleep really work in the Android kernel?
I've been wondering about this for a while, but couldn't find anything about it. What exactly happens after the screen turns off? Does the kernel actually suspend and halt the CPU? If so, how are notifications received while sleeping? Is there a coprocessor involved?
I'm curious. It would be great if someone could point me towards some articles or videos about this.

@pjhenry1216 @MyUnclesSecret Not quite. A gas stove requires gas. I can run it from canisters if I want to. In fact, I know someone who does.

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.
The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends' ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam's compatdata folder and you're good to go!
We had a great time playing last night.
@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn't possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).
@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.
Is there a way to get notified, when an #ArchLinux package is updated?
Sometimes I'm eagerly awaiting an upgrade to a specific package. Is there a way to get a notification of some sort, once the update is available?
In this case I'm waiting for thunderbird and wine-nine.

@sambeastie @OwlPaste What kind of problems did you run into?
Why exactly is deferred rendering faster?
The GPU is still doing the same work per pixel, isn't it?
Is it because there is less dependency chains as the buffers (albedo, normal, light, emission, ...) are independent?

I had a really nice #LinuxGaming moment last night
I finally formatted one of my 1 TB SSDs as EXT4 to make room for #Steam games on my #ArchLinux install.
Then, I installed Transport Fever 2 and played it through my #SteamLink
And you know what? It just worked. It was a miracle! I just happily played for an hour without even noticing I'm not running #Windows. Zero tinkering. Thanks #Valve. ☺

Halo: Master Chief Collection is an absolute broken mess
Last weekend, I picked up the #Halo Master Chief Collection from the Steam sale with a friend. We wanted to play through Halo 1 again, but it was completely unplayable.
You can't always join another player's session. Occasionally, nothing happens when starting a mission. On certain missions the game just completely freezes. At certain points the game locks up leaving you unable to move.
It's just awful.

App for location based reminders/alarms?
I'm looking for a nice app that can trigger reminders or alarms when I reach a certain location or connect to a certain wifi network.
I tried "Wifi Reminders" on #FDroid https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.glesik.wifireminders/ but it didn't work.
Ideally, it should be either open source or a one time purchase.
Thank you for any tips.

Okay #Plesk, I'm breaking up with you.
When I was new to #SysAdmin stuff, #Plesk helped me a lot with setting things up, especially email. But this is just stupid. I'm already paying for a server package that comes with Plesk, but it can't administer #PostgreSQL?
Fuck that. I'm leaving.
Any #OpenSource #FOSS alternatives? (Don't you dare to say #Docker 😠)

Is this the right place for private servers?
I'm looking for a community like /r/wowservers to find other fellow "pirates" who like the original classic experience of WoW.
\#ADHD Tip: Break your browser to stay focused while working
Browsers are really a problem because they offer everything in one application. Productive work, distracting social media and entertainment of all sorts. It's hell!
So, if you are having trouble focusing, try breaking your browser by renaming firefox.exe or chrome.exe so that you can't use it anymore. If you need specific information, print it out or write it down.
It's not for everyone, but it helped me a lot.
