I would still leave that up to interpretation. I think it can make sense however I am having trouble putting my interpretation into words.

Two alternative redemptions of the 'a' not being present: It could be viewed as an ellipsis, it does sound slightly more pleasant to me without.

And it would also just be really silly if the first statement said upon stepping onto a celestial body no human has set foot on before is a self contradictory statement is

Thank you. I had a feeling I was wrong about that. Couldn't even think of the word article though so I assumed maybe it was a weird kind of preposition.

Dtf took me a bit, my leading theory for a good 10s was dad to female though.

'Man' is often used in the same way as 'mankind' which is how I've usually seen the quote interpreted. Clearly the article 'a' makes a very big difference but it still makes sense.

Edit: preposition -> article cuz I'm dum

I've started saying "I like your _" when complimenting unusual accessories, it iz far better at conveying ones awe than just saying "nice _" in my experience.

Dunst has one by default. I have used it twice. Once when I was very tired and couldn't output something into a file for some reason (I think it was a full disk) and piped it into a notification instead and once when a program put some error message in there and the notification expired before I read it.

It can also be fun for seeing how your perception of notifications compares to the ones that actually show up. It is however important to remember that it exists and to not let important data end up there.

That would explain some of the issues I was having with VRAM.

Good point, I use K9 on my phone which I believe is the same thing as Thunderbird at this point. I am very used to the Thunderbird desktop UI though which does indeed display name and email address.

I did not recognise that as a penis.

Dennis nuts in your mouth? Actually I don't think that's it...

Yeah, now that I think about it what kind of client is that and why doesn't it display the sender's address?

 

I've recently been playing more games with controller support on Steam and have had some issues getting them to work.

I have a DualShock 4 Controller (for a PS4) and it works fine for some proton games with controller support (Rainworld and BG3 for example) work fine out of the box. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Balatro both work with the default settings but only on Wayland (Hyprland). The games that work only on Wayland display Xbox button glyphs, leading me to believe that they are using Steam Input. I have in the past been able to play games with no controller support using Steam Input to emulate keyboard inputs on x11.

I am now trying to play LEGO Lord of the Rings which has Xbox Controller support but not Playstation Controller support and as such would require Steam Input. I would be happy to get it working on either x11 (i3) or preferably Wayland (Hyprland) but so far the closest I have gotten is being able to select my controller as an input device in the settings (by a button press being detected), this did however not allow me to perform any menu inputs and I was not able to reproduce it after restarting the game.

Overall my experience with my controller has gotten slightly worse over the past years (x11 only, I have barely used it when on Wayland) and I was wondering if anyone in this community had experience with non Xbox/Steam controllers in Steam that they would be willing to share.

A few of side notes:

  • The controller works fine for Steam in big picture mode and it is an official Play Station controller from Sony.
  • My Steam is installed via flatpak on the device using x11 and the device using Wayland.
  • Both devices are setup with EndeavourOS (arch based).
  • I run most of my non native games on Proton Experimental.

If I missed some important details that could help resolve my issues or explain why the controller behaves so different on the two devices I'm happy to answer questions :)
