I thought he was dead already.

I mean he ruined a man’s entire family to win a bet with someone he doesn’t even like, being this oblivious is on-brand for God.

It’s not. I want space trains! Just maybe not for the rich which isn’t being proposed. Just saying US healthcare sucks.

I filled out a form wrong so now I just don’t have health insurance until I can re-enroll in the fall. Hope I don’t get sick until then! Also my car’s airbag just malfunctioned, I’m driving very carefully lol.

Congrats on getting it running then :)

Allah works in mysterious ways.

Running it in Proton is so quick and easy, you might as well try it once. You’ve got nothing to lose. All you do is add non-steam game, then force it to use proton if you don’t force proton on all games by default like I do.

I’ve had mine for at least 5 years, probably more. You don’t need any software on Linux, it’s picked up as a normal USB audio device: SteelSeries ApS SteelSeries Arctis 7 I’m no audiophile, but audio quality is great. I had the Logitech G930 before and I like this better. The one USB device actually presents 2 audio devices to the computer because it has this neat dial that lets you mix your game sound and chat sounds right on the headset.

I use the steelseries arctis 7 (I think, it’s the non-pro version). It works great in Endeavor and is very simple. I don’t think I can tell how much charge the battery has but I charge it every night so that’s not an issue. Highly recommend buying a magnetic USB cord for it.

I’m not sure, I’m not a doctor.

Print a better post.

Have you tried just adding your tweaked version as a non-steam game and then running that in Proton?

KDE has a good zoom feature built in, however it keeps the mouse centered which is good for doing precise graphical thing, but maybe not the best for gaming. It’s good for reading if you hold your mouse still. You can absolutely find or make a green cursor. Some guy here said gaming on Linux is janky but honestly I’ve been super impressed for the past year I’ve used it. I only had one game that wouldn’t run out of the box so far and got it running by installing some Microsoft VC runtime or something. Everything else just starts runs without issue. Edit: runs without issue in steam.

The investors are the ones being grifted upon. Website looks healthy and able to make money, investors buy it or invest money, shitbags that run website get paid.

See anything interesting in dmesg after all that starts happening?

There’s not much to see. I made this cool mollyguard for the power button out of a clear bud capsule. This way nobody flips the switch when I expect it to stay on all the time and I can see the power light through it.

Lemmy is failing to upload my images, so here’s 2 links:

Volcano (excuse the mess, I found I spilled some inside last night and tried to clean it lol)

My dinky menu I use for it sometimes

It’s actually not open on the internet, it’s only on my LAN. I ssh in to access it if I’m out which is rare so it’s very safe. These Tasmota plugs are great because they use Free software firmware (which I updated from the web, not the manufacturer), I trust them a lot more than any other IOT device.

Dude honestly the Volcano rules. I’ve had mine almost 20 years now and I’ve had a screw rattle loose and the plastic airflow button broke ($10 part) and that’s it. I also bought a Crafty+ and I hardly ever use it. The Volcano is definitely smoother and I think hits harder. Plus you can see how heavy your dose is about to be as the bag fills. The power plugs I bought came out to like $10 each I think for a pack of 4.

Ask and ye shall receive! I’m tacking a GPL 3 license to it. The plugs that play a sound after a delay won’t work on Windows because I use fork(), but I don’t use Windows because fuck Windows. It uses mpv to play sounds, but that is easily changed. AMA.

I have a volcano and a script I wrote to control it via a tasmota power plug. Now my computer plays a clip of snoop dogg when I turn it on and when it’s fully heated up. And it automatically turns it off at night if I forget to. I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it’s cool, but who cares?
