I'll be disabling my #Mastodon <-> #Twitter crossposter, as I'd like to leave this platform for good, and the community over on Mastodon is WAAAAY better than anything Twitter can offer anyways. Mastodon profile: @orowith2os" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tech.lgbt/@orowith2os

@tomwarren Perfect time to give Linux a shot for those people.

Microsoft is cutting off Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 from security updates and technical support on January 10th. Time’s running out for the millions of people still running Windows 7 on their PCs theverge.com/2023/1/3/23537…

@UkaszRabbit @Plagman2 If DXVK were on 2.0, it would mean dropping support for lots of older GPUs that don't support the Vulkan extensions required by 2.0. *maybe Steam could include some way to replace the Proton-provided DXVK with a custom DXVK easily, that would allow for mitigating this.

We just added a new Proton flavor: Proton Next. It will be available whenever there is a new major stable update of Proton to test. Currently live with Proton 7.0-5, containing the following changes: #available-in-proton-next" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/ValveSoftware/…

Elon running twitter is like when Wheatley has control of aperture science and makes all of the shitty test chambers and fucked up turrets.

@Takahata101 I'll have to agree with @ransan32 on this one, Masotodon is nice when you get into the flow of it. vt.social is maintained by vtubers, for vtubers, so I'd suggest that.

Where do I go?

@NemisXue @Takahata101 That's just Truth Social, any properly moderated Mastodon instance is actually quite comfy.

@CinnamonFloofsy @ZippyVtuber @ransan32 Found a better way to describe it: twitter.com/ItsRogueRen/st…

@CinnamonFloofsy @ZippyVtuber @ransan32 You can see things from other servers, they just have to be federated by interacting with them, such as following a user on their instance or boosting something. Federation is a bit of a pain sometimes like that, but for the experience it gives, I'd say it's worth it.

So guys....which is better...cohost or mastodon?

I love how Google has a policy specifically for using AGPL software, because "The risks heavily outweigh the benefits." opensource.google/documentation/…

@BouderKyle @_GameXData I believe everything you see in Game Mode is running inside of gamescope, but could be wrong. The settings window is part of the Steam client itself, too, I think. That said, a ton of things that Valve used for the Deck (like controller drivers) are proprietary, so can't be sure

I'll never get over how cool dual screen emulation is on Steam Deck.

@_GameXData @BouderKyle Technical answer as to why that's the case, Gamescope (what everything on Gaming Mode runs in) only allows one window to be focused at a time and pushes everything back, so it can't support more than one screen without some (major, I think) design changes.

@BouderKyle So far, I've found that Gaming Mode only allows one screen to be active at a time. So, you'd probably need to exit to desktop to make it work. That also helps for dialing in display settings though

@RoadyTV @pid_eins Already patched o/

@pid_eins Just saw this few minutes ago. twitter.com/portswiggerres…

There's a lot of weird debate about whether Rust in the kernel is useful or not... in my experience, it's way more useful than I could've ever imagined! I went from 1st render to a stable desktop that can run run games, browsers, etc. in about two days of work on my driver (!!!)

I wanna get a small drawing done for #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, would yall mind suggesting some peeps to check out? I don't need anything high quality, just a simple sketch and maybe color is fine #commission and I guess we'll see how well Mastodon handles scam bots, eh?

TIL that OSMC doesn't support booting from a USB drive on the Raspberry Pi 4. Bit disappointed, because the SD cards I use aren't as performant as my USB drives, and I lose track of SD cards often. github.com/osmc/osmc/issu…

What the fuck? windowscentral.com/gaming/steam/b… Their reasoning is for security, but if anything, Windows on the Deck would be even more secure than a PC installation of Windows since it's more focused towards ＊gaming＊, if there was any… @orowith2os/109351038679266556" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tech.lgbt/@orowith2os/10…

That feeling when an update ends up ＊reducing＊ how much space your system ends up using

Got OSMC sorted out-ish, was fun. Also surprised me to see how smooth it was. Tomorrow I'll actually set it up with all my stuff (podman containers, etc) and script it should I ever need to redo it. （＾▿＾）
