Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch 4 is out now with lots of bug fixes and a major controller input changeEnglish
7·10 months agoThey mention better controller rumble support… if this allows rumble to work on the Linux version, maybe I can retire my hacky mod :)

1·10 months agoYeah, we use Windows servers primarily. Thankfully what I do doesn’t require much interaction with them, though every once in a while I am subjected to SMB file sharing.

2·10 months agoMy work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn’t support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo’s decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Advice: Is the Tado wired thermostat V3 a good idea?English
1·11 months agoThanks for the warning, that sucks. I’m only interested in the local functionality, so this should not affect me I think!

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Advice: Is the Tado wired thermostat V3 a good idea?English
1·11 months agoThank you so much, this is very helpful information! What kind of features am I missing out on using it locally? Setting and measuring the temperature sounds to me like a pretty feature-complete thermostat. :) To clarify, I don’t actually need any Apple hardware/software to use this, Home Assistant just pretends to be HomeKit connecting to the Tado USB bridge and provides free control from its interface?

F-Droid@lemmy.ml•F-Droid TIL thread: What's your favorite obscure feature in an F-Droid app?English
18·11 months agoThe navigation app Öffi, which shows public transport times and journeys, has a whole map feature where it renders the journey if you turn your phone to landscape! I’d been using it for months when I found out by accident, made it even more useful.

3·11 months agoI often have performance issues with Jitsi (“video has been turned off to save bandwidth”). Might this be down to which instance I use? Perhaps it’s time to self-host.

3·11 months agoFUTO are the ones changing the meaning of words. The Open Source Definition has existed for a long time and clearly explains what it means. While Grayjay is “source available”, and that’s good, it definitely is not open source.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27English
16·11 months agoThank you so much for the kind words! It’s indeed a bad time to be an app delevoper. At least the framework I use is portable-ish, so the work won’t be fully lost.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?English
1·1 year agoIt seems I didn’t communicate my reason for having Instagram well enough. I don’t have access to the “feed” or following people (it won’t load unless I accept some terms, which I won’t). I have an account with the messaging function bridged to my Matrix account, which lets me receive messages and (when it works) reply to them to organize moving to a better platform.
It’s the best solution I found if I want to keep contact with people I meet when going out or traveling. Phone numbers barely work (I still can’t call or message any German numbers, never found out why), and everyone I meet has Instagram. I just give them my username, they can add me easily, and then later over Instagram direct messages we figure out how to get them signed up for Matrix or Signal.

4·1 year agoI’m personally trapped on Discord and Instagram.
Discord is required by my workplace, so no way of getting rid of it until everyone decides to move to something better. I have some friends on it too, but most of them also made Matrix accounts when I explained I won’t be very reachable on Discord (I only open it when necessary; and it doesn’r run on my phone since they rewrote the app in JS). I have Instagram as a way to people I meet during travel or events to “add me” easily, and then we can figure out a good way to communicate afterward. I’m not too bothered by having it as I don’t use it daily or anything.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•PSA: If your controller rumble isn't working in Silksong, then try forcing Proton in the game's properties on SteamEnglish
151·1 year agoI work at a game studio that provides Linux-native builds of our game. I don’t speak for them but in my opinion this gives us an opportunity to take advantage of Linux features such as better input systems, performance, dev tooling, and in the future maybe APIs like Wayland. While the Windows build does work via Proton, it’s limited to what Microsoft allows us to do with the Windows API. We also have to use a non-standard-compliant compiler (msvc) and overall maintaining a Windows build damages code quality, performance, dev speed, and end user experience. Our Linux userbase is already small enough, imagine if all our players started using the Proton version. It’d become impossible to justify spending as much time on the Linux builds as we do, and they would probably stop being available. So, although I see WINE and Proton as a net positive, I fear it will slowly kill Linux development and eventually all games will be limited 100% by what MS decides, despite technically playing them on a free platform.

41·1 year agoYes, but OP makes it sound like the Hollow Knight issue is not fixed either. I didn’t even know HK had rumble, but I def felt the Silksong haptics when I played it at Gamescom. I wonder how we can make Team Cherry aware of this, or whether they are already aware?

111·1 year agoThanks for the info. That’s a shame, I really want to use native builds when available. Especially since Silksong runs so well. Is there any hope for a fix, even if unofficial?






Can confirm as well, awesome!!!
