Steam Beta gets battery indicator for wireless gamepads as the new Steam Controller nears
We're hopefully not too far off the release of the new Steam Controller now, with Valve adding a battery indicator for wireless gamepads.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
re: dongle battery report
my guess is it strongly depends on whether the protocol it uses reports battery level, and if so, if it is openly reported without any esoteric tools.

The number of folks saying there's no way the name 'GIMP' ever stopped anyone from using or contributing to it is extraordinary.
I have *never* been in an office that has allowed me to install GIMP. Never. I have never even been able to get past the sniff of a pitch about GIMP.
Because of the name.
The level of disconnect people have with basic reality is refreshing. What is their world like?

Long before the Anzacs, April 25 was the day women in Australia got the right to vote
April 25 1896 was a significant date in the history of women’s legal rights in Australia.Two things happened on this day: women, including Aboriginal women, voted for the first time in Australia, thanks to a Constitutional Amendment passed by the South Australian parliament in 1894; and, in a world first, women in Australia became able to sit in parliament and participate in government.
The 1894 amendment wasn’t the first South Australian bill that gave women the right to vote, but it was the first to became law. So what was different this time?

Apart from voting, April 25 1896 was also the day women got the right to govern – in a world first.The Conversation

A global juggling act: feeding the world, saving species - Palm Oil Detectives

I started having regular problems with Dysautonomia (autonomic dysfunction) when I was going through menopause over a decade ago. I was rushed to the hospital a couple times with doctors worried that I might have had a heart attack. Even ten years ago people didn't know very much about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) which is a connective tissue disorder, one aspect of which can be hypermobility. Now, and I mean only in the last year or so, like POTS--dysautonomia has often been found to be a comorbidity of EDS.
Dysautonomia also shows up in some people with long COVID and other diseases.
The graphic shows a collection of symptoms you may have with Dysautonomia. You are unlikely to have all of them. There is more than one type of Dysautonomia. But if you have a problem that has these symptoms and it is something of a mystery to your doctors, perhaps investigate this.

Lebanon's president and prime minister accused Israel on Thursday of a war crime, after an airstrike killed a Lebanese journalist in the country's south, where Israeli forces occupy several areas. Rescuers and the reporter's employer on Wednesday confirmed the death of Amal Khalil, a 42-year-old journalist who worked for the Lebanese daily Al-Akbar.

Hot take of the day: we could have stopped Adobe ages ago if GIMP had any other name.
GIMP is nominative determinism applied to open source. If Fedora was named FUCKBOI, it would have failed too.
