uhm. Ok, let’s get back one step. What is Steam shortcut?
It works when I launch through Lutris, but yea - using the Steam shortcut it doesn’t work
Does “steam shortcut” mean that you are running lutris from steam? In such case maybe it’s the other way round than what I proposed earlier - steam controller thingy grabs the controller and because of that it doesn’t go straight to the game?
Does the game support the controller? When you’re running the game via Steam, it uses its controller service(?). When you are running the game somewhat directly this part will not be running. So if the game does not support your controller directly, you might need to find a way how to make it recognize it
Prince Wang’s programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.
“Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”
“Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”
Personally I don’t but my grandpa was electronics engineer by trade and hobby and I was also talking to some electronics engineers in my previous job when I was toying with the idea myself. In both cases for home projects they were etching the paths by covering the plate with laser printer ink. When you get really good at that you can even get into SMD range of path width. The higher part of the range - you can’t outdo machine ECB printing if you want to get the paths really narrow - but workable.
Although, some of my colleagues at work were saying that at the prices you can order an ECB to be printed nowadays (for hobby better to find something local, so you have easier contact and shipping won’t cost you a leg) it’s not worth the hassle anymore. Pick the business which page looks like from the 90s. You are looking for electrical engineering veterans so they know more about electronics than webpages
You might want to search for your local hackerspace. For sure they have it all figured out for the area they operate in
When I don’t have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago
Yeah, I was wrong
Is there a limit to one-time cards
There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app
Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps
FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course
We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven’t used that
Revolut is just another bank. It’s just a little less behind the times than most
I’m not sure what “tap to pay” is and I haven’t used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it’s pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account
But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone
I had similar setup but I was using obsidian and pcloud. Syncing up&down was done by scripts using rclone/roundsync (android). Script part might be harder to achieve using windows
But I came here to say that I finally decided to test syncthing and it’s so much easier! And just works. Now pcloud is rather a backup and sharing than gateway
Hell has frozen over?
Depends. I’ve found that it was able to explain to me (about Spanish) why, when and how to use this form or the other. But it won’t come up with a plan of lessons. And the level of support will depend on the amount of resources available for the language you want to learn
I don’t use flatpak but I didn’t have to configure Lutris or Steam in any way for that.
If you look around goverlay you’ll find that there are two ENVs that you can set up in X/wayland service to have MangoHud automatically in every context it can render in.
So first try running with MANGOHUD=1 env exported. If that doesn’t help, try mangohud steam.
If I understand correctly, flatpack run in some kind of container, so it’s possible that you might need to set the env or the command, so it happens inside the container
Search is working fast, which is nice. Unfortunately it seems to focus on articles in my language without possibility to switch to English, so 1. someone might argue this narrows down who is using it, and 2. sometimes I need to search for an article in other language.
Also, from issues on github it seems that it can be a little buggy atm
At the same time, on wikipedia, ublock sees only wikipedia and wikimedia domains. And the page even doesn’t need to ask about cookies. I don’t think wiki has a problem with privacy, per se. Of course in countries with stupid governments this might be a good idea
And I was commenting on the article. Which only has two lists and at the bottom
By enabling all of these settings, you are significantly reducing the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform, but keep in mind that you are not completely eliminating it.
And I’m criticizing that
I can’t find better source ATM but basically its encryption is not good enough anymore
I think this article is so-so. For example
- Display: Screen timeout: Shortest duration you are comfortable with
- Wallpaper & style: Set your lock screen to something generic and non-personal (no family photos, etc)
(…)- Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock: Strong password preferred, followed by PIN, then Pattern.
- Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock settings: Enhanced PIN privacy: Enabled
- Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock settings: Lock after screen timeout: Shortest duration you are comfortable with
These don’t affect “the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform”. Might be good ideas in themselves, but bundling these with options that really diminish the amount of data broadcasted, washes the picture out IMO
Then, I think, go into Steam, open the page of the game in library and in the options somewhere on the right, just below the image (?), try to disable something like Steam controller input for this game
