A bit of a downside is that the minimum driver requirements are pretty aggressive at the moment, so people could be stuck using WineD3D without realising it. But I suppose crashing isn’t really much better. And people who play games should use a distribution that moves pretty quickly in general.

vividspecter@aussie.zoneto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•8BitDo announces its controllers now have Steam (SteamOS) compatibilityEnglish1·2 days agoFull compatibility means native steam input support, which means that gyro + back buttons work together. No need to emulate a specific console controller and lose out on either gyro or back button support.
vividspecter@aussie.zoneto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Sunshine game stream host for Moonlight gets security fixes, Linux improvements and more featuresEnglish1·4 days agoIt looks like mainly a Hyprland fix (and maybe some wlroots based compositors). The old method still works with sway for me, and there’s a another approach using a virtual edid that should work everywhere, but perhaps not with Nvidia cards (see here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-create-a-virtual-monitor-display/2725/5).
I’m not sure if Plasma or Gnome have any support for headless monitors outside of the EDID method.

Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything “artificial” is dangerous. So he’s certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn’t believe they are dangerous.

EDIT: And this compatibility site akin to ProtonDB I just found out about.

That’s fine to a point but I’d like to see a bit more variety.

And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice if you want a like for like replacement and aren’t open to Mastodon.

If you just want music and don’t care about the streaming part, bandcamp (although it does have some basic streaming I believe.
If you want streaming and aren’t technically inclined, Tidal.

And someone being clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives. Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.
But agreed that people could stand to be a bit more tactful about it and not immediately go on the attack.

vividspecter@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani appears to pull ahead of Andrew Cuomo, according to new poll2·12 days agoI’ve just never personally voted using RCV on a ballot that requires you to rank that many candidates for a valid ballot. That seems unnecessary.
Several implementations of it in Australia are full preferential, and require ranking all candidates (and there’s a kind of hybrid optional implementation in the federal senate where there is a minimum but you can rank as many as you want). The NYC one is still optional preferential actually, which is in my view a bad system because people get tricked into “just voting 1” and their vote consequently has less power to influence the result.
