Broken on GE-Proton11-1 again. This is not a complaint about GE-Proton. GE-Proton10-34 is actually the only reasonably recent wine build where Warcraft 3 actually works. Not proton or wine-staging, just GE-Proton10-34.

Works again after a Proton-GE update but it's still tiring. This has to be like the 3rd or 4th time it has stopped working. Yes, native Linux games may also fail to work when updating dependencies or drivers, but at least that happens very rarely.

Does anyone know why the @deutschebahn.com ICE train wifi login website almost never works? (bruxelles frankfurt again)

B-stock sales are so disappointing. Yea that laptop wasn't cheap when it was new. But it's a possibly pre-owned laptop with a 12 year (!!!) old CPU. And you want 282,99€ for it? Are stores *that* desperate to not sell any hardware for actually cheap no matter how old it is?

Loud enough to wake and keep me up since 5 AM. *sigh* Pretty sure it's the AC.

On this train there's a young child getting her brain cooked by youtube kids the entire way from Frankfurt to Bruxelles. Older people have always complained about the habits of the young but I can't help but feel that this is different and that brainrot content is genuinely hazardous to our brains.

Can @deutschebahn.com maintenance maybe make sure that the ICE train onboard electronics don't produce obnoxiously loud noise for hours on end? It seems to be quite common in the door areas, less in the seating area, but trains are quite often full enough that people are there too.

@unity.com finally time to get OpenXR Linux support working?

I think not enough people realize that just having a genuine interest and a couple of months time to sink into certain niches can make you uniquely qualified. If you are in university or just graduated, then is the perfect time to just start hacking on something that nobody else has touched yet.

NieR Automata genuinely might be one of the most important game releases of all time explicitly because of how it directly inspired DXVK, yes. www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ni...

#WebXR is indeed starting to work in #WebKit on Linux. Not many websites yet, but it's a good start. Thanks @igalia.com!

I don't see a talk recording but I found the slides www.slideshare.net/slideshow/we...

WebXR in Android & Linux with OpenXR .. At the #webkit contributors meeting 😃 cool 😎

Wanted to look up my @deutschebahn.com Bahncard number and... wtf? No way around this such as email confirmation code or such? So if I wanted to buy a ticket online now I guess I... just wouldn't? I get neglecting physical infrastructure, but even digitally turning people away for no reason?

Tried starting Warcraft 3 in Lutris, stuck on the pre-menu screen. Made a new prefix and installed via battle.net and Warcraft III Reforged scripts from lutris. No change. I might actually be done with the last non-native game I still played out of nostalgia. That's why I only buy native games now.

5 new VR games for Linux on @itch.io since the Godot XR jam - all just apk files again. Is it really not possible to hardcode in the store that a .apk file is only for android?

What could the google ai studio website possibly be doing to use 170% CPU and 6GB ram, being idle in the background? CPU usage stops once the tab is focused.

Big kudos to Baldur's Gate 3 for being one of the first big games in a long time to make a native linux version (for the steam deck). I'm definitely enjoying it on desktop linux (I use arch btw) but tbh it feels somewhat unfinished. Spoilers for the first few hours ahead:

I'm beginning to consider just waiting for the next GPU generation that (hopefully) has a regular 32gb+ GPU instead of overpaying for the R9700 after.. how many months until it actually will be sold?

I finally found codeberg.org/atufi/reinkpy and successfully unbricked (see fighttorepair.substack.com/p/citing-dan...) the Epson ET-2720 printer my dad left with me. And I found that you *can* order original replacement parts and did so for the ink tank (with this payment bsky.app/profile/haag...)

@haagch.bsky.social · last yr.

Whoa it still exists. I just ordered from a small German online shop via "Vorkasse" i.e. SEPA bank transfer initiated by me. Tried out "Echtzeitüberweisung" (instant transfer) and within actually 10 seconds my online banking told me the receiver has the funds. Amazingly how simple it can be.

#IBC2025: Frédéric Plourde speaking at the Future of Media Townhall, detailing Electric-Maple, the #OpenSource remote rendering & streaming solution for XR, built on #Monado & #GStreamer. Drop by booth 14.A63 to see it in action! #OpenXR #Connected #Media #Experiences

Just had the revelation that I actually need to close the paypal account I've been using for 15+ years now and so I did. The "Close your account" button on the account settings does not work, even after manually cancelling all Automatic Payments.

Both my simple OpenXR C sample code and playground projects gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/demos... gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/demos... finally have both a decent enough windows build system. Still no proper release but at least I can put windows binaries here: haagch.frickel.club/files/openxr...

as usual, if you would like to support me, please donate what you can to my Ko-fi or GitHub Sponsors! 🐾 everything i do for Open Source VR is out of passion, and any donations help cover the cost of hardware and tools to do work! ko-fi.com/beyley github.com/sponsors/Bey...

So, when will AMD *actually* start selling the Radeon AI PRO R9700?

Anyone have a higher score? (Ordered september 27 2024, estimated delivery august 14-september 22 2025)

I don't see any other reports of firefox permanently spinning on challenges.cloudflare.com. When I click the profiler thingy I see mentions of bitwarden and dark reader. So am I the only one who permanently got their fan running noisily and their room heated up even more in the summer?

Thanks google, very helpful.

This is what you see every time you go to maps.google.com with Ubuntu Touch. Hey google, what is an "intent"? Not only is it obnoxious to immediately try to redirect anyone from the website to some app, it's also completely useless here. At least you *can* cancel this.

We're at #XRExpo in Stuttgart today! 🎮 Come see Collabora at Booth A18 — we're showcasing open source XR with Monado-based Electric-Maple demos running on AMD & Nvidia graphics servers. Stop by and chat XR with us! #OpenXR #Monado #ElectricMaple #Collabora
