@killyourfm we did add a benchmark scene in the remaster! It's basically the engine of forbidden west with few differences, so it's going to run slower. But the game and the renderer should be much more robust than the original port.
(I'm in the credits, but the remaster only. Most UI complaints can go to me :) )

@killyourfm horizon zero dawn or the remaster?

@killyourfm @nytpu I agree, that is what is likely happening. I would suggest trying to use ge-proton and enabling the wayland wine backend to see if that works!

This guide is for HDR, but includes instructions for using ge-proton and Wayland.

The unwrap thing is the equivalent of ignoring the return value of C functions that can fail.
I still prefer the Rust syntax for this, at least ignoring the error is explicit text in code.
In C ignoring a possible error is silent. To spot the error one would need to know the function signature and documentation in advance.

Side note: exceptions are even worse in my humble opinion. They have the advantage of giving more information about an error than just a null or a negative number. But it's even less obvious which function might return an exception and what's the best place to handle them.
Functions with multiple return values are the way to go, even better if the return value is a tagged enum with information on both the correct operation or the error.

Valve released 3 (three!) devices!
Not 2, not 2 episode 2, not alyx devices.

Honestly, Freedesktop has done so much more for the Linux ecosystem.

I don't know why we bother mentioning GNU at this point, since their contributions are ancient and small at this point. What is left is GCC and Glibc. Glibc being a source of pain more than being helpful.

GNU stuff is at the foundation of the Linux desktop, but not much more than that.

@killyourfm "ready to get coding at the bottom" at the bottom is extremely interesting.

They are probably exploiting some invite developer system. The same way scammers were using Google calendar invites and google drive file share to send spam and scam messages.

And that's why it would come from a paypal official mail server.

@clarity maybe Carbon can deliver on this. One of the developers is on fedi and seems quite a chill person

@killyourfm
One technical detail: in matrix chats are not hosted on a single server but they are replicated across all servers. If etke.cc would go down, people on other servers could continue chatting like normal. Only a few things would not work, but I don't remember what. Invite links I think and maybe something to do with stickers?

I have a question for @davidrevoy :
which "driver" do you use to make the xp-pen work under wayland? The official binary one or do you have a better reccomendation?

CC @redstrate maybe you know too?

@davidrevoy @redstrate
Artist 16 2nd gen (not pro)

@redstrate
I have an Artist 16 2nd gen (not pro). I did manage to make the official driver work under Wayland by running it against the distro Qt instead of their own vendored ones. But it is a bit cumbersome and not very smooth, especially under Wayland. So I was wondering if you guys had been using something else or dealing with the same clunkyness

@jk @capital
A kernel is a game engine with a 1D space (memory is 1-dimensional) and the entities are the processes.

@killyourfm too bad the Intel driver for linux xe is not really in good shape. I have an arc770 and many AAA games won't boot :(

@killyourfm
The algorithm is the client, not the people reading.

We need more serverless software

@capital
I guess I mean more distributed software, decentralised, that runs locally.
I was thinking I wanted a videochat with my parents without using shitty companies and without starting a server somewhere. I litterally want to input each other's IP address and go.

@marcan
I think the scariest thing is to make curl|bash normalized and then people running this from random websites for every single tool all the time. Then I don't have the same guarantees that a project like Asahi has.
Maybe a project is malicious, or their website is compromised.

I'm mostly scared about malicious project personally.

I keep forgetting this, but on many #kde applications you can type `ctrl-alt-i` and have a krunner type interface but for the tools inside the program you are in.

@killyourfm in my work email especially, since I've published some scientific paper the amount of spam is abnoxious. Plus I get lots of useless and overwhelming comunications from the university itself.
