SCS Software celebrate 25 years with a mini-documentary gamingonlinux.com/2022/11/scs-โ€ฆ


What a cringe-fest!

Elon Musk trying so hard to hurl insulting zingers at Mastodon. But he just comes across as incredibly awkward and dorky.

He also fails at one of the first rules of PR: don't acknowledge the little guy lest you turn them into the big guy.



This is cool to see! GDevelop and Humble Bundle teamed up for a No-Code GameDev Bundle: humblebundle.com/software/no-cโ€ฆ (partner)

Thanks, but ever since I worked with my Wooting keyboard and realized how amazing it is to have the settings stored on the keyboard and always send the exact keystroke I want regardless of the booting step or OS, I have developed a negative feeling towards mapping keys via software. Imho keyboard is (and should be) an independent component and agnostic to OS and booting stage

#BlackHoleFriday ๐Ÿค #FlashbackFriday

Thirty years ago, @nasa released this extraordinary Hubble image of a gas and dust disk fueling a galaxyโ€™s black hole.

Hubble observations helped provide evidence that most galaxies contain enormous black holes: go.nasa.gov/3ieuBMc

In our galaxy, that black hole would be called the #GOP.

This black hole is on the move!

Hubble found evidence of an isolated black hole roaming around the Milky Way.

It's estimated that there are about 100 million black holes like this that are drifting through our galaxy: go.nasa.gov/3icsjx4

Happy #BlackHoleFriday!

itโ€™s lonely. Itโ€™s trying to make friends.
But everyone ignores it and claims it sucks.

I can't wait for the day where we find out what's inside them is there another universe or is there morning? It's so fascinating. Imagine if all the matter went into another universe which went into a multiverse! It's amazing.

scary stuff but that pic is awesome the black hole is perfectly symmetrical ๐Ÿ‘Œ


The 1st widely accepted black hole, Cygnus X-1, was discovered decades earlier in 1964. X-rays emitted were detected by a pair of Geiger counters launched on a sounding rocket from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. #BlackHoleFriday

Merge ahead โš ๏ธ

This #HubbleFriday image showcases the peculiar galaxy merger known as Arp-Madore 417-391.

At 671 million light-years away, this merger is the result of two galaxies that were distorted by gravity and twisted together into a ring: go.nasa.gov/3Vphfe5

Our simple guide to Steam Play and Proton, Valve's technology for playing Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck was updated - it now has a note on all the different versions gamingonlinux.com/2019/07/a-siโ€ฆ

If it wasn't for the steamdeck advancements in Proton wouldn't have happened as fast. I glad it happened. I bought a windows computer just to game. Now I installed Linux on it. Now I'm setting up Steam, Lutris and I have the EA app running on bottles.

Actually, feel free to bring a picture and have us guess the name of a book. We will do this like charades: book, movie, television, or whatever. Just warn us which one.

Gobal hotkeys are coming soon in portals, disabling Vsync is coming soon, now we're getting fractional scaling, I think 2023 is actually going to be the death of Xorg for most Linux users gitlab.freedesktop.org/waylandโ€ฆ
in reply to Brodie Robertson

For me at least, Wayland is already a lot more stable than Xorg when I used it. With Xorg, I used to have problems with my PC not waking up from sleep, apps lagging terribly when resizing, at one point I even had an issue where instead of my lockscreen, the applications in the background would focus on startup, leading to me literally leaking my password in a group chat because I still had Telegram open and only finding out hours later, because I had to hard-reset my pc.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Wayland has improved a *ton* the past year, i switched to wayland about 6 months ago and have *not* looked back
i never saw a KDE compositor animation run at my full refresh rate, its always been locked to like 20 or 30, but on wayland every one of my monitors is butter smooth all running at from what i can tell perfect framerates, with almost no input latency and no tearing, im even able to game, with no tearing, low latency, and all monitors running at full speed, no compromises

This is really nothing new. People do the same thing at job interviews every single day.

@Graveyard Leprechaun True. Also nice to have a word to describe the concept. This article is a little old, but I came by it from a recent article in The Conversation that decided to use the word.

hey Callie nice to connect with you here, welcome to the fediverse. :blobwhee:

I hope I can persuade you to edit or delete+redraft your intro post so it includes alt text. It makes the fedi more accessible for folks on screen readers and I think for folks with some outreach capacity we should strive for maximum accessibility

@Mastodon @Gargron
โ€œA number of servers are starting to block Mastodon.social as it is nearly unmoderated due to its size.โ€

Is this a factual statement?

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Sorry to be the bummer here. I have seen instance admins that stated they'd at least silence (or even block) both Mastadon gGmbH instances due to serious issues in the last 2 weeks.

They may reconsider at some point but certainly their users and mods weren't too happy with some of the incidents.

Don't get me wrong, I understand how hard it is to keep track of that many users especially if they rush in at once. My goal is not to blame here!
