Correct. Unfortunately, it’s something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it’s copying to where.

This is the system settings application for the KDE desktop environment.

If you’re using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click “Apply Plasma Settings…”

If you’re using X11, it looks like you’ll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

So that file can go anywhere you want, but ~/bin is a good spot (or ~/.bin if you like a tidy home folder). You can name it whatever you want, but I’d personally name it steam.sh. And then in the Buddy settings, use that file as your new Steam binary.

What issues are you having? I may be able to help.

There’s a host app that runs on the host machine alongside Sunshine that reads your Steam library, and the Deck plugin adds an icon on each game’s banner on your Deck. When you click the icon, the plugin communicates with the host app and then automatically starts a Moonlight/Sunshine session that then starts up the game you were on. You only have to add one “app” to Sunshine and set up the MoonDeckBuddy app on the host, and then you have streaming for your entire library available.

I mean. I can’t because I defederated from Threads. But neat, I guess.

That work has already started with Fediseer. It’s not automatic, but it’s really easy, which is probably the best we’ll get for a while.

The reason this works well for certain applications and not others comes down to programming language / framework and compilation optimization.

If the application was compiled directly into an executable binary and optimized, it can be decompiled, but it won’t be human-readable. Programmers would have to delve in and manually trace the code paths to figure out how it works. Fun fact, this is how a lot of the retro game decompilation projects are happening. Teams of volunteers are going through the unreadable decompilations and working together to figure them out.

Dotnet and Java based applications are easier, because they don’t usually get directly compiled into machine-executable binaries, and even when they do, it’s still easy to decompile them. This is because they’re both compiled to an intermediate language that’s more optimized than the original, then that IL is run by a runtime. Dotnet’s IL is called Common Intermediate Language and Java’s is called bytecode. This sounds weird, but it’s kinda cool, because it lets people write different languages without having to have a full compiler. They just have to be able to get it compiled to an intermediate language, and then the existing runtime can take it from there.

That sounds like the default GitHub boilerplate message, to be fair.

I haven’t had a deletion request come around yet, but I’ve had the pict-rs documentation in my back pocket just in case. My instance allows NSFW, so I made sure I knew how to do this before deploying.

I agree with the author, though, it definitely shouldn’t be so hard to delete images. Hopefully the Lemmy devs tackle these issues quickly.

Layoffs for three of their most successful studios? That’s surprising.

I like Ruby most of the time, but honestly, I’m not surprised at “sometimes” behavior from the language created by someone who, when asked for the formal definition of something in the language, said he’s “not really a formal kind of guy.”

Haha, yeah, I’m familiar with the work culture in Japan. I’ve heard from other developers currently working there that it’s much better working for newer and/or international companies.

I’m taking my conversation-level Japanese courses this year and have been looking to land a dev job in Japan. From the sound of it, I’d like working for Pocket Pair a lot. But then again, most companies make their employment sound fantastic…

My ISP says my IP is technically dynamic, but it hasn’t changed once in the 6 years I’ve had their service. But that’s for the best, since they’re the only choice for symmetrical gigabit and their only option for static IPs is for business accounts.

So I continue to trust that they won’t change it. Fingers crossed.

I find that I need to restart VSCode occasionally for reasons similar to this. I write C# daily, and sporadically VSCode will just completely lose track of all namespaces and everything is now a syntax error.

complexities of Distrobox

they unironically say in comparison to the arcane language of fucking Nix, lmao

In addition to what’s been mentioned, Bazzite also updates the kernel and graphics drivers more often than SteamOS, so yes, while things are slightly more likely to break every now and then, there are some decent performance gains to be had.

I love Bazzite, but I wish they would fix the no audio after wake on the OLED. I encountered it often while running the testing release, so I went back to SteamOS to wait for a stable release with the fix. Imagine my disappointment when they released a new stable version with the bug still present. :(
