I just gave up using deploy-rs because of the main devs weird bio and these two blog posts

The Foundation is at a crossroads. We need to raise an additional $610K to break-even, and more immediately to raise $100K to keep our bridges running.

As a neutral custodian, the Foundation is key to the success of Matrix. It is time to step up for it.

I keep flip-flopping between "wanting to go all in with Nix, impermanence, full riced setup, etc", and "fuck it I'm buying a Mac"

It's so hard to think of game ideas. I know I want to write *a* game, but I don't know what!

I could really do with the programming practise...

it's so dumb that just smacking LD_PRELOAD="" on my steam game launch options is giving me a 30+ fps boost for each game I try.... what is being loaded??!?!?

Last thing holding me back from deleting twitter are the memes. Bluesky just doesn’t even compete on that front I fear

** It's happening!! **

We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble

With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...

A new plugin is being made that allows you to install the FSR 3 Frame Generation mod into your #SteamDeck games easily, which turns games that don't support FSR 3, but support DLSS, into ones that do:

Looks awful, but I gotta say, KDE is so much more stable!

Gnome is getting a little too buggy for my taste,, maybe it's time to try KDE again..?

One of the biggest arguments I've heard about AI is how much of a waste of energy it is running in these massive data centres using thousands of litres of water. What do those people think on models that are ran locally on-device?

Just encountered such a stupid issue when setting up a Chromecast for my parents, and it turns out,,, it's intentional! I hate the term "big tech", but my GOD big tech is shit.

I need to learn React, but it's so overwhelming!!!! It's like the streaming service name meme, but for frameworks

I keep getting the urge to play games, but when I actually get to play them, I have NO clue what to actually play. This is especially bad when I want to use my Steam Deck (and actually get some use out of it), which rules out first person shooters.

I'm slowly feeling more and more confident on Beat Saber. I don't think I've ever played this well on a map before, even if I did fuck up the ending

I feel like they could've spent a lil bit longer optimising Unreal Engine 5. I *know* I don't have great specs, but SURELY it should run at least a BIT better.

Gamescope sucks SO much, I don't think I've managed to ever get it working outside of SteamOS.

I ended up swapping my kernel from xanmod to cachyos and it helped the 1% lows a lot. Basically, this game is a mess and shouldn’t require me to do all of this just to get a playable experience.

I get 20+ FPS on CS2 running under Linux by using this paragraph worth of launch options.

`gamemoderun __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command% -console -full -novid -nojoy -vulkan -maxMem=7000k +exec autoexec`

Might be useful for some people.

any cs2 skin guys know if this is worth anything above market?
