It’s actually K9 mail with a new name. They went over to the Mozilla foundation a year or two ago.

Just read the Arch wiki. It’s clearly explained there. Fuckin’ noob. Thread locked.

That’s good to keep in mind with everything you send out to the internet.

It details how the controller on the Deck works. Maybe it can help you.

Nice! So that should also work to use the Steam Deck as a gamepad on a PC, right?

Whoever can see through WordPress’s spaghetti code must be a genius.

Plus, OP delivered a text version.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

But using video games for recreational purposes was outlawed!

Running Doom on the N95 wasn’t hard. It didn’t even play that badly with the controls.

With area = A and radius = z:

Pi * z * z = A

Physics based rendering. Basically good texture shaders that work like materials work in the real world. Since that has been developed artists working with computer graphics in movies and games more or less don’t have to worry about making something look realistic.

Every texture has values for color, reflectivity, subsurface scattering, fresnel, roughness and probably a ton more values I forgot. That gives you everything real light does when hitting a surface.

I think Wreck it Ralph was one of the first movies to use the techniques. I remember reading something to that effect alongside tutorials on how to get PBR into Blender. I think it took very little time for PBR to get into basically every graphics software. And nowadays when you buy textures they all come with different textures to set the correct values for PBR.

Ah yes, the time when I stopped playing FPSs.

The keyboard situation on Wayland and especially KDE is abysmal. Through a workaround I managed to get Onboard working. But it often crashes for me when using it with touch.

The keyboard from Steam actually works best for me. But I don’t know how to pull it up without a gamepad. I’ve got a post showing how to get it working outside of the Steam Deck. https://swg-empire.de/post/853437

All in all I actually think that Gnome is better suited for touch devices. But I just don’t like how it works overall. But maybe your girlfriend likes it.

It’s not the fastest, but it’s enough for me.

Been the opposite experience for me with my Fairphone 3. I bought it for the reparability but the fucking thing refuses to break, no matter how much I mishandle it.

No, at that time they didn’t have a Nintendo Switch yet. A PS5 for Baldur’s Gate 3 was their first console.

A lesbian couple on Twitch got asked who the top and who the bottom was. They said they switched.

No idea what that means mechanically.

That is, if the laptop isn’t totally locked down by IT. But knowing school’s IT budget that probably isn’t the case.
