I mean, if this is basically Twitter's Community Notes feature, but for YouTube, I'm all for it. Bit of a balancing act, but it's the last thing that hasn't been completely wrecked now that Twitter became Xitter.

Also it's better for Devs than buying grey market keys bought using stolen credit cards.

Another issue I've had with Snaps is just increased boot times. Something to do with mounting all the virtual images involved or something, makes boot take noticeably longer. I've tested having an Ubuntu install with Snaps, and then removed the snaps and snapd while installing the same software via Flatpak, and had a noticeable boot time improvement. Hopefully they've been working to improve this, but it just soured me on them even more.

As for another install method, mostly for CLI tools, but working with a lot of GUI apps too now, there's Distrobox. It has a bit of a bloat issue, because you're basically installing an entire extra headless Linux Distro with it, but it for example allows you to run AUR inside an Arch based Box, and then you can integrate the app you installed with AUR into the host OS, running it near seamlessly, while keeping its dependencies contained in the Box which you can easily remove. By default apps in the Box will have access to the host's filesystem but you can mitigate this if you want. Distrobox is especially great on atomic read-only Distros, where you can't directly touch system directories, by allowing you to install apps that expect such access from things like AUR.

In the past yeah. I still had formatting break in some cases.

I just wish compatibility was better. Even if I save in ODT format in either Word or Writer, opening the file in the other program almost always results in formatting errors. Not to mention using DOC/DOCX.

The BOOX Tab Ultra C Pro is probably closest to what you're looking for. It's basically a full fledged Android Tablet, just with an eInk screen. It even has a camera you can use for document scanning and such, and a pressure sensitive stylus powered by WACOM tech. Of course, this hinges on if you can find the apps you need on Android. I love Android, but Apple definitely has a leg up when it comes to proprietary productivity and creative apps.

I personally have a BOOX Nova Air C which is a 7.8in model from a couple years ago, which has a color eInk screen, Bluetooth, Mic, Speakers, Stylus, Android 11, and the full Google Play Store. I personally use it mostly for reading, but the stylus works really well for taking notes, and I've even played games on it (GameBoy Tetris for the win).

As far as I can tell, it's always used ActivityPub for instances to communicate with each other, with video streaming mainly facilitated using WebTorrent on the backend to keep use of the host low.

 

The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you'll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance's site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there's way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.

They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.

SteamVR 2.0 Beta Is Here (steamcommunity.com)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

There were hints yesterday, but today it's official. Valve has started over hauling SteamVR, using the SteamDeck and Big Picture improvements as a basis. More to come.

This makes the likelihood of a new VR headset, possibly even stand-alone, more likely than ever.

Press Release:

Greetings! Today we are shipping SteamVR 2.0 in beta. We see this is as the first major step toward our goal of bringing all of what’s new on the Steam platform into VR.

Users who opt into this beta will notice a new UI with lots of added features:

· Most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck are now part of SteamVR

· Updated keyboard with support for new languages, emojis, and themes

· Integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat

· Improved Store that puts new and popular VR releases front and center

This is just the beginning of SteamVR 2.0’s journey, and we’ll have more to share in the coming weeks and months as we collect feedback and work on the features mentioned above. This beta will give us a chance to iron out the kinks as more and more people try it out. As with all betas, this means SteamVR 2.0 will get better and better as we prepare it for its eventual full public launch.

To try out the new UI, opt in to both SteamVR Beta and the Steam Client Beta.

Instructions for Steam Client Beta:

I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

Every time I'm in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I'm not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can't figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just pops up again. Any ideas?
