I work for AWS, but I definitely don't speak for them.

Tried out @eniko's Kitsune Tales: https://kitsunegames.com/games/kitsunetails/

  • super-cute platformer, love the art and music
  • I still suck at platformers

If you like platformers, definitely check this out, there's a demo up on Steam and it works great on the Steam Deck.

I'm really shockingly bad at platformers.

What is your LEAST favorite or command? 🤔

@nixCraft I was going to say git (been using it for ages, still feels precarious), but I’ll go with journalctl as I still have no idea how to get the precious log data out of it.

Calling all kernel 6.9 using folks - looking for feedback on your experiences.

  • Distro/release
  • Confirming it's 6.9.x
  • Specific Framework Laptop; 11th, 12th, 13th, AMD 13 or AMD 16.
  • Experiences with your typical day's usage compared to 6.8 and previous.

Please be overly clear in your config! More data is great! 😎 :allthethings:

@frameworkcomputer I'm using:

  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (a rolling release)
  • kernel 6.9.1, just installed 6.9.3 but haven't restarted yet
  • Framework 16 (Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon RX 7700S)
  • everything's been working great; things I do: gaming, development, watching videos, Godot

I wrote a few posts about the FW16 and OpenSUSE adventures: https://taffer.ca/posts/

@gamingonlinux I switched my default shell to fish and it broke KDE completely… had to set it back to bash. 😭

Taffer, to accessibility

What are people using to test their website's accessibility (a11y)?

Since I use Hugo to generate the pages, my source is all Markdown, so I was hoping to find something I can just point at my website, like a linter. Unless there's a Markdown a11y linter I don't know about…

This looks like a federated service like Gravatar: https://www.libravatar.org/

Problem: Thunderbird's calendar loses the ability to update my Google Calendar. I assume this is Google messing with OAuth or Thunderbird specifically to "encourage" direct Google Calendar use.

Solution: Host my own CalDAV server.

This will probably give me two problems (or more).

I suppose another option would be to use whatever calendar is present in my OS instead of Thunderbird's.

(Looks like hosting CalDAV on Dreamhost is complex/annoying to set up, and I don't want the added attack surface.)

@VileLasagna Hey, hey, looks like my NAS (a Synology) has a calendar with CalDAV support... since I work from home, I can probably make this work pretty well without opening up anything to the Internet at large.
