Many games might actually be DRM free without you realizing. Look them up on PC Gaming Wiki, and maybe you’ll like what you see.

With some games it’s as simple as launching them directly from the executable to circumvent annoying launchers and accounts.

Something most people probably don’t even think of doing anymore, and why would they. But it never hurts to try.

It’s been there for me since the whole thing started

Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.

It doesn’t seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.

So I reckon I’ll just try and see for myself if that’s true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.

Sometimes not even borderline.

Anyone playing Outer Worlds, the Spacers Choice Edition? Suuuper annoying issues, I might actually install it on Windows instead

Edit:
Flawless on Windows, general performance seems to be a tad better, too.

Which is great to see, because that means it’s not the game itself, and that maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues

Does Connect You work for you? I can send messages, but if someone replies, the notification only shows their number instead of the name I saved them as, and the reply doesn’t show up in the chat itself

Interesting, so it seems to depend on how accessible the manufacturer makes their camera api?

Does that make sense? I don’t know much about how this all works, to be honest

Oh, that sounds annoying. If it’s any consolation, there’s clip-on macro lenses for closer focus that can be had for just a few bucks.

Speaking from experience, you can produce some really cool shots with those, if there isn’t any other solution for that problem.

Ohhh, okay. Gotta say, wouldn’t have surprised me though.

auto-focus on the macro lens just doesn’t work (making that one useless)

So you basically have a fixed focus distance, or is it all over the place because the auto-focus freaks out?

Oh wow, so it’s even worse than I thought. It works on my one+ 5t, but maybe because I’m running DivestOS? Or one+ has just closed down the camera api on newer models

Yeah, the only alternative I know of would be Gcam with unnecessary permissions removed.

Other than that, the LineageOS default cam can use all the lenses, but doesn’t have any useful manual settings.

OpenCamera is pretty damn good, offering pretty much all the manual settings you could want.

There is only one downside to it:
As far as I know, it can only use the phones (back and front) main camera lens. So if your phone has extra lenses for tele, night mode or whatever, OpenCamera can’t do anything with them.

At least from my experience.

They could just align the text bottom right, where there’s less gun poking into the area

Insane how much energy that is

Unless it’s something dangerous and you don’t know what you’re doing. Don’t want to get a garage door spring to the face

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

Yeah, I probably should

The only argument would be software support. Getting newly discovered flaws fixed would be ideal, but many manufacturers don’t do that for nearly as long as we should reasonably expect them to.

I have to say, the Odyssey line deserves some huge respect for the kind of response times Samsung has achieved with a VA panel, of all things.

I’ve had the same Casio watch for 16 years now, just had to change the battery once. Sturdy and precise.

Well, almost. A while ago it set itself to be three hours off, and I can’t figure out how to get it back to my timezone. I follow the steps in the manual to have it re-set itself, but it’s still three hours off.

I don’t understand where it gets that time from

Honestly, I actually respect the meme. What was there first, a fridge? Now a toaster? Maybe a microwave next?

It’s so stupid that it’s kinda funny to me
