  • [junge Welt] German Pseudo-Leftists spreading Azov-Propaganda: Sympathy for Fascist

    Jump

  • The fact that these social fascists keep getting away with appropriating Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht is disgusting. Not as disgusting as supporting Israel and Azov Nazis, but still.

  • All my homies hate Noam Chomsky

    Jump

  • Norm loves and idolizes Chomsky, doesn't he? He hung out with him regularly. I saw him talk about that not long ago.

  • Turkish FM says some NATO states want Ukrainian war to continue

    Jump

  • Yeah clearly "some" (actually most) still want it to continue.

    Also, I do wish there was a lower volume of "low effort" sort of submissions like this one, where people just quickly repost stuff they find somewhere else without even reading it properly. This crowds out more interesting posts which then disappear from the frontpage, and so most people (including me) don't see them, since they only last maybe an hour on the frontpage, and I'm not clicking through all the comms I am subscribed to, since most are pretty dead. Ultimately though, this is probably more down to the algorithm and lack of users really.

    Since I rarely post anything, I do recognize I'm not in a great position to criticize others who put in more effort, so sorry for that.

  • Ok, but is bread crust maillard or caramelization? Because I won't know how to cook before I figure that out.

  • That's like eight full boxes of tea per cup. I can't afford that.

  • $0.002 ≠ 0.002 ¢, Verizon employees do not understand

    Jump

  • This is so infuriatingly frustrating I love it. Also probably there's a lesson in there somewhere.

  • Microsoft's Copilot is coming for your File Explorer and Taskbar

  • Torvalds isn't ideological in that way, it doesn't seem like something he would say. He's usually on about how open source (the guy embraced the corporate-friendly rebranding) is/was instrumental in the success of the Linux project and that he personally likes working that way, i.e. from home, over email, in his own time.

  • Can you guess?

    Jump

  • Trick question. It's not an animal.

    it's clearly a horse.

  • I'm finally getting the urge to change my distro from Mint to something else. When distro hopping do you basically have to start from scratch again?

    Jump

  • SteamOS does not work right on most hardware last I heard. They have specific stuff in there for the exact devices they do support (which are only two I think, SteamDeck and another one of these handhelds). It doesn't have all drivers for other hardware and there are even tweaks for the AMD chips that are in those things.

  • Q: Wiring up a dimmer switch to an old house

    Jump

  • I mean it has to be the load output, how else would that work. In order to make a circuit, it needs to be live - switch - lamp - neutral. If you just had live and neutral, the circuit would be live - switch - neutral, which I guess would make a funny let's blow the fuse prank switch or something.

  • Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN

    Jump

  • I just checked GOG and Humble, and there's definitely things on sale on GOG that aren't on Steam, whereas the stuff on Humble seems to all be discounted on Steam with the exact same price.

    It seems unreasonable to complain about (free and unlimited I think) steam keys given to the publisher come with strings attached, but these steam keys funnel people back onto steam to play the games, and are therefore preserving of steams monopoly position. I just can't imagine any court would order Valve to give away keys both for free and with zero strings attached to the publisher, they clearly provide a service here. So I guess Valve could drop the strings and just sell the keys to the publisher and that might be less abusive idk. Certainly would incentivize the publishers to try to sell the games w/o steam keys because they make more money that way.

  • Btw I just googled USB power management, and on Linux the default USB "autosuspend" seems to be 2 seconds. So it going into power safe mode after half an hour seems unlikely.

  • Idk for sure, but this theory seems far-fetched to me. Why would it put a gamepad to sleep at all? Why would putting the gamepad HID device to sleep affect the keyboard HID device? Why wouldn't the same thing happen on Windows?

    Btw, just for my curiosity, what extra feature does this keyboard have that might make it show up as gamepad as well? Does it have an analog stick on it or what's going on here?

  • i installed linux ama

    Jump

  • I don't think so, it wouldn't even work if it wasn't recognized as keyboard. It probably is recognized as both a keyboard and a gamepad at the same time. Physical USB devices can (and frequently do) present as multiple devices to the host. For example, a keyboard with a scroll wheel will look like be both a keyboard and a mouse.

  • i installed linux ama

    Jump

  • Idk, seems like the device (why is it a identifed as a gamepad?) doesn't respond. I guess in theory it could be the cable/connection, but I assume the thing worked fine in windows? Maybe worth trying to change the cable if that's possible anyway.

    I really doubt that the Linux HID or USB drivers are actually at fault/bugged here, they work with thousands of different similar devices totally fine. Maybe that's something that might be fixed by a firmware update?

    For a workaround, you might try usbreset. You could (say) write a script that either runs every 15 minutes as a cronjob, or it looks at the logs and triggers automatically when it sees these relevant errors or something like that.

  • For your keyboard problem, try looking at the kernel logs, which you can see by running dmesg. Congratulations for having an exotic af problem I didn't even know could happen.

    I don't have high hopes you can fix this honestly, keyboards are like the most standard hardware using the most generic driver, which means your keyboard somehow differs from all other keyboards in some subtle way, and Linux driver just happens to trigger this problem while the Windows driver doesn't. What you could probably do is a workaround, like resetting the USB connection or something like that every so often.

  • What's separating isn't the felt, it's the rubber separating from the cork. Do you think that would work? I have something like that for repairing bicycle tubes somewhere I think. I'm skeptical though honestly that it would stick to the cork.
