XDA claim they're a "leading tech publication".

They published an article titled: "Why I like Linux on my Steam Deck but not my desktop"

-> Uses tiny and basically unsupported obscure Linux distribution to make a case against it on the desktop.

-> Also thinks somehow Proton is only on Steam Deck?

Please, if you're going to publish a Linux article, get your writers to do more than 1 minute research into it.

@gamingonlinux I usually advise Windows users trying out Linux to remember their very first experiences of Windows while they're getting familiar with the environment, to steer them away from the expectation that it's going to be a drop-in replacement. Expect a learning curve, expect workflow adjustments, expect more freedom and control in the end.

    lol twitter now requires login to view any tweet, RIP that whole ecosystem of embedding some tweets and pretending it's journalism

    andyprice,
    @andyprice@mastodon.social avatar

    @stavvers The embed mechanism still works unfortunately

    andyprice,
    @andyprice@mastodon.social avatar

    @veronica @stavvers Perhaps if people start using the embed API to work around the lockdown they will lock the API down too, but it provides so much free advertising for Twittter that it seems unlikely 😔

    Apparently Twitter is no longer viewable without being logged in. Haha.

    I spent the evening switching from () to () and had to find alternatives to some tools I was using. Maybe this will help others doing the same:

    • xrandr script to set up multiple monitors
    • sway output config
    • xinput-based touchpad config script
    • sway input config
    • xset to set key repeat delay and rate
    • sway input config
    • gnome-screenshot
    • grimshot
    • redshift
    • wlsunset
    • xss-lock and i3lock
    • swayidle and swaylock
    • dmenu
    • bemenu

    Things I haven't found a good sway/wayland replacement for yet:

    • Screen recording (window capture)
    • nm-applet UI (there is a bug open)
    andyprice,
    @andyprice@mastodon.social avatar

    @1ace Yeah, it's good plumbing but it's not something that can replace obs or simplescreenrecorder, for me at least.

    andyprice,
    @andyprice@mastodon.social avatar

    @1ace Thanks, I'll take a look at it after work. Do you know if it supports window capture or only full screen? (Current obs in Fedora supports full screen capture with wayland but not window capture.)

    andyprice,
    @andyprice@mastodon.social avatar

    @1ace No worries, I appreciate the pointers

    I made a lo-fi version 🙂 #GodotEngine

    3D scene. A magical well in the centre of a poorly lit room emits a pillar of blue light and white sparks float upwards from it.

    @bloodaxe Thanks, that's the best reaction I could have hoped for!

    Google told me to export my data from a thing called Album Archive(??) that they're shutting down. The exported data consists solely of a 322 byte "Activity Logs/albums.json" file showing that I created a folder called "A Lunchtime Stroll" in July 2013. I'll make sure to back that up.
