Thing is: bringing the performance up can quickly be evened out by also bringing the resolution up.

I am not sure what resolution is necessary for a really good experience on such a small device, but I am sure there's a golden balance to find somewhere in there.




Vampire survival game V Rising 1.0 live with gamepad support (good for Steam Deck) gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/vampโ€ฆ

not surprising, but the #VRising (server) update deleted the progress of me playing with friends for a couple of months ๐Ÿ™ We are not motivated to start at 0, even though the game is fun. But it is too grindy / repetitive to start over now.

A big overhaul of Nextcloud Hub tailored to the needs of the public sector ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

"With Nextcloud Tables, we're definitely getting to a point where we can replace traditional specialised procedures ... by storing the data structures in Nextcloud."

in reply to Nextcloud ๐Ÿ“ฑโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’ป

How can we know "Tables" won't simply become abandonware with the next upgrade to Nextcloud, as you've done with other popular apps like "News" and "Social?" Can you please write an article about your testing procedures to ensure the app interfaces remain stable from one version to the next, so that apps (and our data in them!) don't keep suddenly disappearing with an upgrade?

We don't trust our workflows to Nextcloud yet, because of these mistakes you've made in the past.

After 10 months off for my science journalism fellowship at MIT Iโ€™m jumping back into infectious disease reporting and uh boy Iโ€™m not gonna be bored am I?!

I'm serious when I say that I am among David O'Doherty's first fans. Many years ago he came out to Australia to perform in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He was evidently struggling to bring in audiences and get laughs. A friend of mine working at the festival gave me a couple of complimentary tickets. At that point I didn't realise that she was using me, because I'm a big laugher and good for warming up an audience. I didn't know I had a super-power! (an incredibly minor one, but it gets me free tickets!) Anyway, this bit is for all us techies!

"Under the Calculative Gaze" by Sanela Jahiฤ‡ explores the socio-political implications of AI, not only directly interwoven with unresolved injustices of the prevailing socio-economic system, but actually enables a transition to authoritarianism, which can be observed in the technology industry itself, in the politics of different countries and institutions and in the rise of right-wing extremist political movements.

Hello Nextcloud Team, thanks for the amazing work !

I'm sorry but what we need is not AI. We don't need an AI assistant to sort out our mess. We need well-coded solutions that don't allow mess to appear in the first place.

We need a decent maps app that can sync favorites with a smartphone app, and make trip building as easy as in Rome2Rio, with a focus on public transportation and bike.

This should be top priority.

Steam / Steam Deck stable client update released fixing lots of bugs, including a CSS change to "reduce package size and reduce feature leaks" ๐Ÿคจ ๐Ÿคจ gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/steaโ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Gotta wonder how big the CSS class names were if they had a material impact on the package size. Maybe autogenerated names like class="big_hero_unit_for_game_id_858588333_aka_half_life_3_oops_we_cannot_put_this_here"

@woltiv heh, probably a mixture of all sorts of things, renaming, minifying properly and so on



Spoiler alert: My book #GovernableSpaces ends with this image by Darija Mediฤ‡, borrowing from the wonderful native-land.caโ€”a reminder from Indigenous legacies that sovereignty need not depend on monopolies over land and militarized borders.

PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id).

See github.com/ValveSoftware/steamโ€ฆ for details.

it looks really interesting and I may check it out. Puzzle games have never been my strong-suit, and can lead to frustration if they're too difficult or obtuse for me, but I still enjoy playing some of them.
