KDE Plasma gets Wayland Fractional Scaling, Fixing Multi-Screen and a Steam Deck updater

gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/kde-โ€ฆ #KDE #FOSS #Linux #SteamOS #SteamDeck

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Iโ€™ve been running GNOME for a bit but I might have to try KDE again, not just for the fractional scaling but also because I guess you can tell it to let xwayland clients handle their own scaling (read Steam, or some code editors) now? Instead of doing the blurry scaling on those windows you can let them just run direct and if they support hidpi no more blurriness!

In launched the epic games client on windows. First time since a month or so. It also asked me for my birthday.

For what it's worth, it doesn't have to be accurate. I couldn't remember which nonsense date I had given in the past and a random one worked.

Iโ€™m interested to hear how #BaldursGate3 runs on #SteamDeck now that theyโ€™re working towards final release. I originally bought it on #Stadia, but now need to either chance it on SteamDeck or wait for it to release on #PS5.

if you're looking for an LGBT-friendly mastodon instance, federated with a bunch of furry instances, maybe bears.town is for you?

Media people and organisations, start your own Fediverse servers! This is your chance to be in control of what you publish!

By remaining on Twitter you are helping Musk control you and your readers. You used to be in control before Twitter. The Fediverse is your chance to get back that control.

It is really cheap and easy!

hi hello we are a two person indie game studio and we make narrative horror games scarlet hollow and slay the princess.

i guess we live here now!

we mostly post about our games, but we also talk about games marketing and narrative design.






#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodonโ€”to act as an amplifier. You can, too!โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‰

Project Mushroom

Iโ€™m genuinely curious to see what comes of this project. It seems like they have the right idea in defining it as an online community that is incidentally on Mastodon rather than an instance first.

I think Mastodon would be a lot less annoying for most users if local feeds were given the same priority as the fediverse.

And instead of trying to rebuild Twitter here, itโ€™s helpful to remember Twitter dot com is a website but not the whole web

This would be a really really good time to support the admins of the Mastodon server you're on.

Find their support links, chuck them at least the price of a coffee each month.

Putting my money where my mouth is.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Most servers have 2 patreons, one for server costs, and one little tip jar for the admin.

Most instance admins won't take money for themselves from the server cost patreon, so if you want to support your instance admin, be sure to chip in for them, too!

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Good to hear. I'm not sure if Matrix.org is having any needs right now regarding that. I'm not sure what my current support for them is right now either. I *was* supporting them on liberapay, and ... I may have allowed it to lapse.


Totally, totally pathetic. Twitter is no longer allowing promotion of "prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms" like Instagram, Mastodon, Facebook, Post, etc. Free speech! help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-โ€ฆ



There's an Elon tweet for every shitty move he does.

So about banning a bunch of other social networks now in place on Twitter.

Well...
