Performing a seig heil is illegal in Poland, and carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison.

What the fuck. I feel like this does more harm than good.

I think Steam might be the only private company in this.

Really says a lot.

However, Ubuntu started a service called Ubuntu Pro / ESM that provides updates for packages in universe.

Since it's all free software, what gives Ubuntu the privilege to restrict these updates behind paywalls and signups?

Pro is also free for personal use on up to 5 machines, so there’s no reason not to enable it.

Fuck that bullshit. We shouldn't be encouraging or enabling this behavior at all.

 

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?

You should be blaming the people who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary for why we have 12 years of trump.

They didn't want to give up their greed or entitlement, so this is what we got instead.

 

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'm always reminded of the iCarly episode about recycling.

Why bluesky instead of mastodon? It's like saying lemmy.world is going to replace reddit instead of the Lemmy platform.

Are you just commenting how the people who use something like twitter are eager to be herded like sheep into the next walled garden?

Are you part of the bluesky viral marketing campaign to make it artificially seem like it's "already won"?

 

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.

I never mentioned perfection.

I hope people reading this can start to recognize shilling when they see it.

Here's the bazzite attempt at viral marketing, everyone.

Remember when we saw it for MX Linux?

Be careful about what you install on your computers.

Edit: The incessant, vehement backlash against calling out shilling is always a telltale sign of shilling. Shills are not allowed to let people accuse them of shilling without going through their playbook of what to say next.

 

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?
