Sales numbers ($) by platform would be interesting to see too.

Correct, that's what I meant to imply in the first part of my comment. When I research new games I do that from a web browser and that's when I care about Proton status the most so this works great for that. It does not help when using the Steam client.

I tend to do my Steam shopping in the browser and I use the ProtonDB-Peek userscript. This gives a ProtonDB status badge in the right column under the review links.

Not sure what's causing the UI issues but another way to go about this is to create a custom collection and configure your browser to use it. This way you can control what shows up in "recommended". IIRC you have to use nightly, beta or a custom build like Fennec to allow using a custom collection.

I personally welcome this decision. I am fairly happy with the current syntax and I enjoy the explicit "does what it says" nature of Go code. None of the proposed alternatives would have made error handling more robust, they were pure syntactic sugar with no nutritional value.

Saying no to multiple proposals when you feel that the status quo is better can be difficult to do and I am happy that the Go team is able to make these kinds of decisions.

Since you are asking on Lemmy: "provider" or "news server" is like the Lemmy instance and "newsgroup" is like the Lemmy community except it's a shared namespace across all servers that carry the group so sci.physics is sci.physics everywhere.

In the subject you wrote "successful full sys update" but the script and the other suggestions I see so far don't actually handle the "successful" part.

The log message only tells you that the update was started and the db mtime only indicates that the db was touched without saying anything about success.

I'd go about this by always performing the updates through a wrapper script that could check the exit status of the pacman or yay command and record a timestamp accordingly.

This hasn't been true for years, see the relevent Arch wiki page for example.

Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.

I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won't have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.

I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn't end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

To be fair I wouldn't want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It's not really my jam but it's the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

 

When the newly released sdl3 is installed it offers to replace sdl2 with sdl2-compat which is a compatibility wrapper around sdl3. Any experience with this wrapper? Are you a happy user? Have you run into any breakage?

As I am watching this video about the use of the Clojure programming language in TV sports production I was surprised to see a bunch of Heroes screens popping up starting at around 3:15. Apparently the initial use case for the tool was Dorm in 2016 (I think, based on the project starting date mentioned and the screenshots). The tool was used for the drafting screens (this was before tournament drafting was added in-game). It was then developed further and used in all kinds esports and TV sports events.

 

evfwd is a new tool for forwarding evdev input events from one Linux host to another, typically through an ssh connection.

The reason I am posting this here is that my initial motivation for creating the tool was gaming related: I wanted to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and gamepad on my Steam Deck.

The tool works by serializing /dev/input/... events on one hosts and then injecting them via /dev/uinput on another. You have to arrange the pipe between the two ends, typically using ssh:

evfwd /dev/input/somedevice | ssh somehost evfwd -s

See the readme for more details.

According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
