Weimar Republic vibes. Will conservatives think they can control fascists and that they “won’t be that bad”? Hopefully they come to their senses, but I’m not holding my breath.
I’ll add I installed it on my OLED deck, and no obvious issues stand out. Chucked nix on it with the Determinate Nix Installer and deployed my Pipewire EQ and vkBasalt configs without issue (and without some of the audio output issues that SteamOS introduced with the 3.5 update). Oh and vkBasalt comes installed OOTB, which solves some maintenance annoyances with keeping it working on SteamOS.
Steam game mode UI feels slightly snappier, perhaps down to using the BORE CPU scheduler (but it could be placebo of course).
I heard it messes with mozilla firefox
It’s a Nvidia driver bug, so if you’re not on Nvidia you should be good.
Im getting slight fps drops that dont seem to relate to the steam fps counter.
You could try enabling mangohud with the full config. From steam launch options:
MANGOHUD_CONFIG=full MANGOHUD=1 %command%
This will give you more detail than just FPS, although if you don’t still have your old setup it would be challenging to compare.
It doesn’t even matter all that much in the case of the Democratic party. Any Democratic president would ultimately follow the platform of the party, and you can see that by the fact that Biden’s agenda has been a lot more progressive than most expected, but makes sense since the party has become more progressive in recent years.
It doesn’t apply as much with Trump because he’s a wannabe dictator and there’s a huge cult of personality behind him. He can do whatever he wants and the Republican party will follow, because they’ll be kicked out of the party if they protest in the slightest.
He needs to win so he gets that sweet, sweet presidential immunity for the countless crimes he has committed. Whether that fully protects him remains to be seen, but that’s clearly the goal.
Project 2025 may be the unofficial platform, although officially adopting it may be a step too far for even the Republican party. If only because of the optics of it, not because they don’t agree with all of it.
Certainly Trump has suggested cleaning house of “liberal” members of the public service so he can install his own cronies that will let him do whatever he wants, which is in line with Project 2025.
Pipewire has built in EQ support (no GUI, but useful once you’ve chosen your settings), and you can use EasyEffects for a GUI to experiment with.
Pipewire also supports complex multichannel impulse responses (including the same files that Hesuvi supports if you supply them). Both of these are a bit challenging to configure it should be said, but it’s nice they they are just effectively outputs you can connect to once they are setup, and don’t require a bunch of programs running at once.
Here’s the official example for virtual sound with “hesuvi”: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/blob/master/src/daemon/filter-chain/sink-virtual-surround-7.1-hesuvi.conf
I’ve had issues with relative paths in the past for the filenames, so try setting a full path if it doesn’t work.
And here’s an example for EQ (you can add more channels if you need them): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/blob/master/src/daemon/filter-chain/sink-eq6.conf
You can also add a preamp if your EQ needs that which is just essentially a 0.0 freq, 0 Q filter and then you set the gain that you need. I didn’t need it as I’m not using external amps for any of my pipewire EQs.
One more thing I’ll add is that if you want the effect to also connect to a specific output (maybe your headphone EQ goes to one output, and your speaker EQ goes to a different one) you can set target.object=<your hardware output>
in playback.props section. There’s an even better solution in wireplumber 0.5.X but I haven’t tried it yet and it might not be available on your system. Read this Collabora article if you’re interested.
is it possible to set the steamdeck to “default” to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C?
Some audio issues were introduced in the SteamOS 3.5 update (partly due to having to handle the OLED model around the same time) which causes the HDMI problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in SteamOS 3.6 or 3.7. I’ve found that Bazzite doesn’t have the issue, although obviously that’s an invasive change, and I understand it’s still a bit buggy with the OLED model.
how do y’all combine music and games?
I think doing what you want could be a bit technically involved. One way might be to have one device control the music, and then cast it to the deck with snapcast or similar. Then, if you can get a snapcast client on the deck to be persistently running in the background, any music that is played on the other device, will be heard on the Deck.
Or more simply, you could try pairing your Deck in bluetooth from another device, and then select that Deck as an output. This is assuming that the Deck allows this, and that your source device supports it (Android did last time I tried).
Could be useful for PiKVM or equivalent.
It makes sense if you see their views as being about controlling women rather than being pro-life. The common thread of conservatism is removing agency and power from everyone but themselves.
Politically, you need to convince at least some of the “what about the economy/China” types. So economic and energy/manufacturing sovereignty arguments can be more convincing than “humanity is fucked if we don’t act quickly enough”. It’s stupid, but that’s democracy for you.
The last time I tried a rebase from Kinoite to Bazzite it left me with a weird set of flatpaks and removed Firefox somehow
There’s a warning against this in the Bazzite FAQ, so that’s not too surprising. It’s referring to DEs, but different “distributions” also applies I presume. I hope that becomes solved in the long run, as it is one of the current downsides with Silverblue etc
A Steam commenter claims this is the full list of missing content:
Missing DLC:
Mitsubishi Car Pack
1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
1997 Mitsubishi GTO
1999 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI GSR
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII MR
2006 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX MR

1957 Hot Wheels Nash Metropolitan Custom.
1957 Hot Wheels Studebaker Golden Hawk 'Dream Roadster'
Misc.
Quarz Regalia
1967 Sunbeam Tiger
1979 Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
So presumably the main expansions stay.
Barrett being the sane one here is surprising. Although maybe it’s just token dissent, since they already have the majority without her.
Historically it meant amphetamines, but it can apply to both now. Street language isn’t exactly set in stone.
Note: Not actual Linux ports to be clear but I believe the original versions already ran fine, including their limitations.
It seems the DLC has already been delisted, so you won’t be able to buy that content now.
It’s unclear to me if the Ultimate Edition still includes some or all of the DLC, or if the current DLC delisting is just purchasing them individually. You can try parsing this FAQ from the devs: https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/30662484986387-Forza-Horizon-4-Delisting-FAQ
Yeah, I understand. It was more of a shout into the void type comment, then a criticism.
They’re keeping the 256gb LCD for now, although that could change in the future of course.
Or that a better climate policy came only a few years later but they have somehow memory holed the whole thing. Yes, Abbott tore the whole thing up but I’d wager he would have took an axe to Rudd’s policy too.
