    I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.

    Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn’t. Most people who don’t have a DualSense don’t know about its adaptive triggers, since they’re not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.

    And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.

    On the desktop, I didn’t have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)

    In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven’t fiddled with Steam Input’s many options in a while.









  • From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:

    TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:

    • DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
    • Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
    • Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
    • After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
    • Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin’s BPA absorption.
    • Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
    • Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.

    HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:

    • Obesity
    • Diabetes
    • Early Puberty
    • Cardiovascular system disorders
    • Abnormal reproductive system development
    • Hormone abnormalities in children
    • Susceptibility to various cancers
    • Resistance to chemotherapy
    • Diminished intellectual capacity

  • who@feddit.orgtoPrivacy@lemmy.mlAre there any privacy oriented transit apps?

    I disagree.

    1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
    2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
    3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
    4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

    Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.







  • Its an actual term

    It’s a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That’s all.

    Saying “its an actual term” [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.

    The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)
