Inspired by my own comment I looked into it again and came up with this combination in the game's "launch options", which feels much better:

    DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.syncInterval = 0; dxgi.maxFrameLatency = 1; dxgi.maxFrameRate = 60" gamescope -f --immediate-flips -- %command%

I also manually disabled vsync in the game's `local.cfg` XML file.

I love where "gaming on Linux" is going. But I have the feeling the hype on Youtube etc. is in part created by content creators, and doesn't faithfully represent the actual situation (surprise!).

So it's not a "hub", but a box around extension cables?

This hits a very soft spot for me. My beloved Spelunky 2 has huge input lag "on Linux", which makes it unplayable for me. It's pretty much the reason I keep my Windows 10 install around. I could not come up with a configuration on Linux that avoids the lag.

It's extra infuriating that online sources report the game running flawlessly but seem to ignore input lag.

It seems to not support 24h? When I see e.g. 17:35 I want to type 17:35 instead of 5:35. Probably because I very seldomly see 5:35 in real life! Interesting observation by itself, but slightly annoying that I have to convert to 12h for this game.

Tools are supposed to be designed around humans

This is a common thing to say, but when during the development of human civilization has this actually been the case? Is agriculture designed around humans more than hunting/gathering? Is industrialized work more designed around humans than agrarian society?

I don't mean to sound pessimistic or technocratic; quite the contrary. But I think we shouldn't project our desire for equanimity onto romantized versions of civilization.

Is this allowed in Starlink's terms of service? Building a commercial service by selling a part of your antenna connection?

Moderation in recreational drugs, which definitely rules out fentanyl?

But yeah, what's moderation and what's excessive is subjective.

I can only comment about battery life. It's proportinal to how much tailscale is really being used: If you use tailscale with an "exit node", i.e. all traffic is routed through it and it's working continously, it drains battery. If it's only used for services on your tailnet, e.g. Immich, the impact will be very small.

But that doesn't give you kernel updates, being userspace only?

PR #655 of which project? I thought you meant Wireplumber but that's not it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/merge_...

Edit: You meant Librepods. Apparently I managed to forget what we were commenting on in the first place.

What exactly? I already quoted what I could find (only very general statements).

Ah, seems to be here: https://mojolang.org/docs/faq/#will-mojo-be-open-sourced

We have committed to open-sourcing Mojo in Fall 2026.

Interesting! It reads to me like Apple advertises AAC-ELD only for Facetime though?

And the alternative, newer "Bluetooth high quality recording" I mentioned in sibling comment is not recommended for real-time communication due to increased latency.

So the situation seems to be more complex than I thought. But I stand by my original sentiment: I dislike the prevalence of bad-sounding Airpods in meetings.

They use hardware tricks (beamshaping) and software tricks (audio processing) to get as much out of them as possible, and they do sound better than generic cheap Bluetooth earbuds, but the Bluetooth connection is still the bottleneck.

They did announce a special "high quality recording mode" for Airpods in iOS 26 (which I didn't know, so thanks) but I couldn't find much except their developer announcement. It's not documented and I don't have the feeling it's being used.

Note that this is the default for better quality (Bluetooth spec, not Linux).

Yeah, I have the impression most people assume Apple magically solved sound/mic quality in bidirectional mode. Or they just don't care. In any case, I'm unhappy about how much Airpods are used for meetings. They sounds so much worse than any wired mic! Or your laptop's mic, as long as you're not using the speakers.

His long list of conditions is an interesting read. It comes off as arrogant in places, but I guess if you really travel a lot and have unusual requirements it's best for everyone to be upfront about it!

The title makes me happy, but the link just goes to a signup page?

Their homepage (https://mojolang.org/) states

The Mojo standard library is fully open-source on GitHub and we welcome contributions! We also plan to open-source the Mojo compiler in 2026.

Their roadmap (https://mojolang.org/docs/roadmap/) doesn't say anything about it.

That is how a median is defined, not the mean.

Press release from ESRF: https://www.esrf.fr/home/news/general/content-news/general/t...

The tomography was done at a synchrotron (ESRF), and with beamtime being very expensive it would be a net-negative to scan lottery tickets, unfortunately...

There have been Issues on Github about the same problem since April. I'm using Codex a lot and I'm very happy with its performance (UX and output), but it's baffling they haven't fixed this problem.

I like it a lot, but unfortunately you can cheat a bit: there are always two opposite answers and two unrelated ones. The correct answer is (almost?) always one of the opposites.

What sucks about co-authorship in research papers is that you don't get a clean breakdown of who contributed what to the research paper

Why? If you read a research paper for its content this is not especially important.

This thread is more about the people of course, and here we care, but that's not the point of a research paper.

Have you actually tried that? If you specifically erase the center, the image does change a lot at first, but rebuilds itself eventually (albeit to a slightly different final state). It's uncanny how "biological" is feels!

...but what do you do with it? Play emulators? The Playdate has bespoke games designed for it, and many people say it's worth the price.

Tbh I find it a bit weird to talk about leisure devices like a handheld in terms of pure specs as if it was a server for number crunching. I use it to have fun, and (for me at least) a huge part of that is UI and ease-of-use.

Our voices echoed away into a bottomless pit [of the elevator shaft]

Would voices actually "echo away" in a literally bottomless pit?

Alt-F4 is the canonical shortcut for closing a window

F2 is the canonical key for renaming

F5 is refresh

F11 is fullscreen

F1 is for help but admittedly I don't use that a lot

I can't think of a very frequent, standard use for the other keys. So I can't really disagree with having so many F keys being kinda unnecessary. But I'm happy to have them and they never bothered me.

this device can be a bridge from a dumb phone to a smart-ish device, a device that’s not an actual smart phone

What do you mean exactly? Is it really a "bridge from/to" or rather a "compromise between"?

Wouldn't Flatpak be a solution to many of those problems? Develop the app against one Window Manager / Desktop environment and have them as requirements of the Flatpak?

Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

Re-reading my comment made me realize it sounded condescending, where it was actually meant to emphasize that a canvas editor is a great idea! So I am very glad that there is development is this space.

Just felt the need to clarify this...
