Signal has been a good option because you can get "normal" people to use it, which hasn't been true for many of the alternatives (except Telegram, but that's a mess).

This other article mentions it:

Maybe they are planning to take back that spectrum they gave to Boost/Dish on a pinky-promise that they'd actually become a competitive network, during the Sprint and T-Mobile antitrust case.

Which would fit with the FCC's increasingly mob-like behaviour under Trump.

It doesn't help that the gains have been smaller, and the prices higher.

I've got a RX 6800 I bought in 2020, and nothing but the 5090 is a significant upgrade, and I'm sure as fuck not paying that kind of money for a video card.

I've seen less whining about downvotes, "you can't say x on y subreddit" meta comments, and general persecution fetish stuff. Probably just due to less people, but it's still a relief not to have to see it constantly.

First PS3 emulator hits the Play Store, goes open-source

They are violating the GPL by not including source code for their modifications. I'm not sure about using the word "stolen" in this context though, but I suppose language evolves.

A dick move in any case.

I think this is Homer's Enemy. Frank Grimes (or Grimey, as he liked to be called) tricks Homer into entering a contest for children to build a model power plant. Homer is hard at work building his masterpiece behind the door.

Steam Client Beta - Steam Input support for 8bitdo and Flydigi controllers

1y 12d ago in linux_gaming from store.steampowered.com

FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro now working for me. A few things that are needed:

  • Controller must be in PC/Dinput mode, blue led (hold O + A to switch)
  • Don't enable the built in gyro mode in the Windows app as it might cause problems
  • Udev rule:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2412", MODE="0666"

(get the idVendor and idProduct from lsusb if you have a different controller)

  • Some (patched) versions of xpad/xpadneo might conflict with it. If you're using the stock versions it should be okay.
  • Your user might need to be in the input group.

One last thing that may or may not be needed is that I installed the SpaceStation app on Windows to test some things. It started working after that but I can't recall if I force reloaded the udev rule so it might have just been the reboot that fixed it.

Anyway, now I have gyro + all extra buttons working with Steam Input.
