For some people, the anticheat becomes the game.

I feel like I’ve heard stories about famous DRM crackers that don’t even play the games - the DRM battle is the whole point. And for some people, it’s not about cheating, it’s about beating the anti-cheat. It just sucks that when you beat the anti-cheat you have the side effect of ruining the experience for other players.

And also, some people are just REALLLLY pathetic and have to cheat at games to feel adequate.

And importantly, it seems to ship with mesa 26. Which fixes a DRM leasing, which means VR works. I was just able to play beat saber on my steamOS system.

The home assistant voice is the mic and speaker but isn’t a system itself. You attach it to your existing home assistant. If you don’t have home assistant set up you’ll want to look into that first.

That makes sense. I have no idea if I have a ground. If I don’t I assume I need a battery powered thermostat, which I would then need to periodically change batteries on or externally power?

The fact that I don’t know what I have, means I dont know what I need, means I need to bring an electrician or someone who knows what is going on, and suddenly the project becomes more work.

I could totally handle the “build a HA dashboard” part of things… it’s the physically setting up devices part that gets me every time.

I was under the impression that some smart thermostats need batteries because the “power to the thermostat” wire was designed for super low power devices, or is otherwise not there at all (thus the different number of wires). So “already wired with everything you need” varies from house to house.

This sounds a lot like what I want to have done. my biggest issue has been figuring out which thermostat to buy? Finding a zigbee vs zwave vs wifi model. Do I need to have 4, 5 or 6 wires or something? Do I need to re-run wires in my wall if I have the wrong number available?

Even just having a manual read-out and the ability to remotely manually change settings would be a win. Everything about this dashboard looks cool to me, but even without the smart auto changing of settings, I want this, but just dont want to spend money and buy the wrong thing.

I had made the original jellyfin Roku app, but once people with actual Roku skills showed up, I kinda just faded out.

Open source for a lot of people is the option to drop in and help when you can, but for maintainers, it can be a huge commitment. I totally get why after almost 8 years, people would be ready for moving on.

This mouse is designed to be extremely light weight. So the battery is small (500 mAh is less than half a AAA battery).

And it’s designed to handle up to 50g of acceleration (ie, fast FPS twitch movements), so it has to be doing a lot of tracking.

So between higher power consumption than normal mice and a smaller battery than normal mice, it only advertises 75* hours of use (* Depending on Hz, lighting on/off and playstyle).

I could absolutely get a mouse that lasts much longer. But not one that meets all the other criteria I have for a performance gaming mouse. I wasn’t attempting to come in hot about “wireless bad” or anything, just sharing my experience.

The batteries are my main issue.

12 hour battery? I charge every night.

4 day battery life? I forget to charge until it dies, and then it dies in the middle of using it.

The mouse I have is only wireless for the “less drag while gaming” aspect but the cable is actually super nice, so I dont even mind the cable… I just leave it plugged in now.

NFTs are basically Bitcoin and fall under fake money for criminals.

Moves the current line up 2 lines.

It’s “2” because the syntax is actually “move to after -2”. So if you are on line 20, it will move you to after line 18… Aka line 19

^K Cut and ^U Uncut (paste) were on the screen the WHOLE time this happened.

“The instructions are on screen at all times!” is only a positive if you follow the instructions, otherwise they are wasting space.

Captcha isn’t about what is real or not real. It’s about training ML models to appear more humanlike based on soliciting actual human responses.

I also have a preview edition.

I moved HA from my server to a HA green to separate reliability (my server is a test bed and uptime isnt great, and home automation warrants better uptime than I was giving it).

The voice services don’t work as well on the green directly, but I view it as part of the HA ecosystem and I want it running on the same hardware, but it seems very much like not a great option for that. And even on my own hardware, it still seems like it was a bit slower than I’d want and not always accurate. I definitely need a lot of tweaking (just like OP) to make it worth while.

And from what I can tell based on the callout at the end… This is a line from connector which is a compatibility layer that allows running Fabric mods on Neoforge.

Which means connector is going to be included in every stack trace, regardless of how related it is to the problem. It will be the one to raise the errors that couldn’t be caught and managed… But AI will see connector being the one probably flagging the errors and be more likely to tag it as a “suspected” mod. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that AI has a tendency to shoot the messenger.

“I tried to keylog myself and the system doesn’t support keylogging.” is a frustrating situation. Because it’s neat from a security perspective and absolutely maddening from basically every other one.

Desktops can be installed on any ubuntu release. you could install xfce on kubuntu, or kde on base ubuntu. And what DE/WM you are using doesn’t matter in a quite a few scenarios, so it’s not worth bringing up in the same way that I don’t mention “Im using cachyOS niri wm”

I personally preferred xubuntu over kubuntu back in my *ubuntu days. etc etc. there are a lot of spins of ubuntu and when the only differentiator is DE (which you can also just install on base ubuntu), it’s easier to just talk about them all as a single overaching entity/family … ubuntu.

Talking about kubuntu inherently requires talking about KDE and ubuntu both, so people just skip the KDE discussion.

“Too many distro options” is already a complaint of a lot of non-linux users, so specifying every last spin can just drive people away.

RIP stack overflow
