Orange Pi Neo upcoming Linux gaming handheld prices have been announced and probably will be SteamOS ready in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Gyro is at its best when it's used for small adjustments anyway. Your door never be doing wide sweeps moving the screen around a bunch on a handheld. And then it only being enabled with the capacitative sticks allows you to easily readjust physically without moving around in game.

Make sure to turn the controller on when holding the B button. It's only recognised correctly in steam when it's in direct input mode and by default it boots into xinput

Capacitive sticks are a game changer for enabling gyro. It's hard to go back to controllers without them. Same goes for back buttons.

The gyro works perfectly fine with this update

I don't remember phones being allowed in school ever

Isn't it more akin to stealing money though? Or to be more precise stealing the potential of money since not everyone who pirates would ever have paid for it on the first place.

When did phones no longer become banned in school?

Many such cases. in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

For me gaming was the easiest thing to replace on Linux. Bazzite was painless and for me ran games with better performance. Since I use my gaming PC like a console HTPC I also have a way better experience with the more steam os like gaming mode it has over the standard big picture mode on windows, since I can now configure system settings within steam itself with my controller if I ever need to.

THE FINALS to get new kernel-based anti-cheat, devs say it will still work on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Well explained. Thanks

I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to kernel stuff and cheating in general. But couldn't Linux say have some functionality in the kernel that will never lie about what apps are running and games as such as this can then query that against a blacklist for anti cheat?

For the UK one it's just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you're actually a citizen.

VSIX Install - Linux Bash script for downloading and installing Marketplace extensions (github.com)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works to c/vscode@programming.dev

I made this because I started using Codium but wanted to use an extension that didn't have an OpenVSX equivalent and found out MS removed the VSIX download buttons on the marketplace site.

This should also work for Code-OSS and the MS VS Code. You can also just use it to only download the VSIX files so you can keep them locally for future use or take them to another computer that does not have internet connection for whatever reason to install there.

It will also check for dependencies and download them if you don't already have them installed.

At the moment it only downloads the latest versions of an extension.

Sharing because I imagine I'm not the only one with this issue.

I'm raising money for Millington's Magical Barn Animal Sanctuary by skating 100km through the month of August (www.justgiving.com)
 

I did a similar charity skate challenge last year with a goal of 50km with me finishing at 80km. This year my overtime goal is 150km if I get enough good weather to push myself beyond the 100km.

Millington's Magical Barn are a lovely vegan ran animal sanctuary that currently look after around 90 animals that were victims of neglect, abuse or were headed towards slaughter. At Millington's they wil be looked after for the lenght of their long natural life. They even look after a few disabled animals too.

Please donate if you believe in this cause, as well as motivating me to push myself further fitness wise!

What are people's favourite pre-WOW MMOs that are still worth playing today? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I long for the days of yore, but I never really got into MMOs until WOW and I've always been jealous heating the stories of people playing MMOs prior.

At some point in the future I'm going to be making an XP era PC build where I plan to play some older games from my childhood as well and any MMOs from that era that I missed out on

Also going to try and get properly into FFXI at some point too but I'm wanting to hear other suggestions too.

I've tried everquest but the way they center the character in the 3rd person view starts to mess with my motion sickness a bit feeling like I have to look at the ground a lot more than I'd normally prefer.

Question: In-app links to other instances and communities (sh.itjust.works)
 

Is there a way to have links to instances and communities in comments to actually open in jerboa rather than going to a browser?
