Gameplay Update 7.36c
  • Better late than never!

  • Firefox 127.0.2 Release Notes
  • Fixed an issue where the Private Window icon was displayed in the taskbar on Windows when browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled was set to false.

    Oh thoanks, now I'm happy.

  • Calc: How do I use discrete (text) values?
  • Is there a "remindme" bot in lemmy?

    I want to know the answer too.

  • Decentralized Encrypted P2P Chat
  • Can users self host that and set up clients to use their own servers?

  • Perplexica - An AI-powered search engine 🔎
  • Ok, now I understand what OP meant.

    However, I use my own SearxNG instance, so I guess I never thought about it that way.

  • Decentralized Encrypted P2P Chat
  • But we already have decentralized encypted chat, it's XMPP.

    Is yours truly P2P? What about clients behind NAT? Does it use STUN/TURN servers?

  • Perplexica - An AI-powered search engine 🔎
  • Dumb question, why do you need VPN to use SearxNG?

  • Mozilla Firefox Blocks Add-Ons to Circumvent Russia Censorship
  • The problem with this is that Russia tries to block all popular VPNs as well.

    I know, there are many VPNs and you can host your own VPNs, but most regular users won't bother.

  • Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
  • You don't need to have ipv6 support by your provider, it's ipv6 over ipv4. You only need your hardware (phones, laptops) and software (OS, servers, clients) to support ipv6.

    I use it to play LAN games with my friend from other country, kind of like Hamachi, but FOSS.

  • Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
  • It just works. You install yggdrasil on all your devices that support ipv6, you write down ipv6 of all devices you want to connect to, you type the ygg ipv6 and connect, as long as ports are open.

  • Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)
  • Netsukuku
 Now that is something I haven't heard about in ages.

  • openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2024/22 & 23 – Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*)
  • DimStar sounds familiar
 But I can't remember where I could hear about him.

  • LibreOffice 24.2.4 Community available for download - The Document Foundation Blog
  • Yeah, I just downloaded a few communities from AUR, they run really well under Plasma 6.

    Have you never tried to download a community?

  • What's Your Favorite IRC Client, and Why?
  • I use Quassel hosted on my server.

  • It's time to move to Linux - YouTube
  • I wish I could switch to Inkscape, but it's not there yet.

    It is really good lately and only getting better, but there are 2 major issues I have with Inkscape.

    1. Tabs (as in, tabulation, the \t character) in text objects. You can find workarounds, like splitting your text into multiple objects and aligning them on your canvas, but it's just not as good as being able to align your text using proper text alignment tools. Tabulation doesn't work in Inkscape because it's not in SVG spec, AFAIK.

    2. Object styles. Again, there are workarounds, but they're not as good. Can you create a text style called "numbering", use it to number a lot of stuff in your document, then just change font family (or make it italic, or bold) all of the numbers at once by changing the "numbering" style? I don't think it's currently possible. Sure, inkscape is not a word processor. But can you make an object of style "banner" with a blue gradient fill, orange 2 px stroke and 50% transparency, use it multiple times, then when you need to change from blue gradient to red gradient just change the "banner" style? Again, there are ways to achieve this, but if you do this kind of stuff, inkscape is just not ready to replace your tools.

    Don't get me wrong, I really want to switch to FOSS all the way and wait for these things to get implemented. As soon as they're there, I'll be the first to make the switch. But it's not now, unfortunately.

    If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to stand corrected.

  • So what are your underrated stars of the patch so far?
  • Just a casual 8k damage from using two skills ans one item. Love it.

  • So what are your underrated stars of the patch so far?
  • Jakiro is a better Weaver than Weaver himself.

    • Step 1. Pick Jakiro with Liquid Frost facet.

    • Step 2. Skill Liquid Frost.

    • Step 3. Build anything that has proc chance: maelstorm(later into Gleipnir), MKB, Daedalus.

    Free MMR for you.

  • Decision of Next Os
  • Arch never broke for me.

    Unless you seek trouble and do stuff without knowing what you are doing (like blindly copy pasting commands from internet into your terminal), it generally just works.

    It's not as good as those distros where all packages come preconfigured for you to work nicely together, so if you want to build a custom system (like, choose your DE/WM/panels/widgets etc), you have to configure all of that to intergate nicely. But you could always just install KDE and everything is pretty stable there, same as in any other KDE based distro.

  • OSS Weather: An open source weather app for iOS/Android
  • Do you know if OP is the dev of the app?

  • Is there an android compatible firefox addon that can copy all open tab URLs to clipboard or export to a file and load back?

    Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

    On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

    Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

    I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

    Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

    Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.

    Help needed: State of graphics stack on linux for Gaming (OPTIMUS laptop)

    This probably was asked countless times already, but given the amount of possible combinations of all the hardware and software, this is probably not surprising.

    So, I do have some experience with linux. I ssh into my ubuntu server a lot, I do many bash/terminal tricks, so can't really call myself a newbie in Linux. However, for gaming I would use Windows for as long as I remember myself. With the release of KDE Plasma 6 and Vulkan support getting better, I was thinking about giving it a go, but I'm stuck.

    When launching a game that natively supports linux (Dota 2) from Steam, pretty much nothing happens. I see in terminal that there are some errors, but archwiki states that this is normal:

    > Wrong ELF class

    > If you see this message in Steam's console output

    > ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

    > you can safely ignore it. It is not really any error: Steam includes both 64- and 32-bit versions of some libraries and only one version will load successfully. This "error" is displayed even when Steam (and the in-game overlay) is working perfectly.

    Other than that I see no errors or anything.

    I'm running Arch linux with KDE Plasma 6.0.1, with default Wayland session. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with NVIDIA GPU and I guess also Intel integrated video card. Here are the details:

    spoiler

    Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × 12th Gen Intel¼ Coreℱ i5-12500H Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel¼ Graphics Manufacturer: Acer Product Name: Nitro AN515-58 System Version: V1.13

    I have no idea honestly about which driver I have installed, but I did install nvidia package. I'm not sure if it's being used. I also don't know anything about Mesa. Also, this is from my Info Center:

    ``` KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. https://discuss.kde.org. It provides information about the currently running instance, which options are used, what OpenGL driver and which effects are running. Please post the information provided underneath this introductory text to a paste bin service like https://paste.kde.org instead of pasting into support threads.

    Output backend ============== Name: DRM Atomic Mode Setting on GPU 0: true ```

    I don't even know what is Xwayland and why I have it installed, probably some dependency of KDE.

    At this point I'm not even sure what I'm using (is it pure wayland, or x11, or some hybrid of using both), if I have correct GPU drivers (do I have correct drivers for just one of the two video cards, for both, or none at all), if my NVIDIA GPU is even working, if it's being used to run a game or not, and if I have all necessary packages to run Vulkan.

    At this point, how do I troubleshoot all of this mess?
