I think so, but it’s spread among different menus and flags. Plus if even if you disable it, it’s still there, one of the origin options sounds like it has it fully removed from the code.

Great game, although these days I mostly play it on my phone.

Valve actually initiated FEX and has been funding it since the very beginning, there was an interview with the Verge where they talk about it.

Basically the whole thing is Valve’s baby, they have a lot of different open source projects that they are quietly funding.

Valve is paving the way to make this possible with FEX, which they’ve developed to let traditional x86 games run on the ARM-based Steam Frame. Since it’s open source, we’re already seeing it show up for other devices, such as GameNative using it to let PC games run on android devices.

Apple is also grabbing additional marketshare right now with their new cheap MacBook Neo that is ARM based, and I think that will pressure windows to make the change as well, at least for laptops.

I don’t know what the timeline is, but I suspect we’ll see a transition to ARM devices once FEX is reliable enough for most software. My understanding is that you miss out on a lot of the power advantages of ARM hardware when running x86 programs through FEX, but it will still be a compatibility crutch while programs transition to being ARM native.

I was reading about all the conflicting windows ui frameworks over the years, and supposedly windows frequently has different internal teams pushing different standards and fighting with each other over it. End result is that WinUI 3 is one of 17 GUI techs that’s still shipping today (8 of those are made by Microsoft itself, the other 9 are things like Electron, etc).

So this sounds like a much needed clean up, but like most things we’ll have to wait and see if Microsoft actually follows through on what they’re saying.

Something I’ve realized is that a lot of management for big publicly traded companies doesn’t care about any long term success of the company. They just want to turn a quick profit for a year or two, and then move on to a different company with a severance package and a raise. They will gladly steer a company towards ruin if it makes for a better financial quarter.

You can also set up word filters in a lot of the Lemmy apps. Filtering words like Trump for example will remove a lot of negative content from your feed, especially since people are bad to post about him in specifically non-political communities.

The people I know who got lasik had to carry around reading glasses. I don’t know the specific details of their treatment beyond that, but the idea of carrying glasses everywhere honestly seems less convenient than just wearing them all day

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot one of these days.

Do you mind sharing your TotK setup? I never finished it because my kids always want the switch, and I find the ergonomics really uncomfortable to play for long

It also led to mass protests across Pakistan, after a policeman questioned why the woman had been out late on her own.

The day after the attack, a senior police official in Lahore, Umer Sheikh, appeared in front of the media and implied the woman was partly to blame.

He questioned why she had not taken a busier road, given that she was alone with her young children.

Man what a terrible take. Her car broke down, she had the doors locked, and they broke the windows and dragged her out before raping her at gunpoint. She was also a foreign tourist, and can’t be expected to know all the good/bad parts of town imo.

The man was specifically allowed to have a ceremonial dagger due to being a Sikh. The Sikh claimed he had been attacked over racial motives, which led the police to discount what the student was saying. So multiple parts of this were very much based on the man being Sikh. You couldn’t properly cover the story without mentioning the fact, so it’s not surprising it’s in the headline

How is Mina? I’ve heard some mixed takes on it, but it being from the Shovel Knight devs makes me want to jump on it.

I really enjoyed Outer Wilds, and Obra Dinn came up in some recommendations I read based on that. While it’s true that the games share a limitation that you can only play them “properly” one time, they aren’t yet hitting the same itch for me.

Also grabbed Chants of Sennaar awhile back, which I think may be similar to Obra Dinn.

I’ve actually run into several older games that have major issues on Windows but run great on Deck. Many of these require fan patches to fix their windows issues (stuff like increasing how much ram the game can use, etc).

A recent example was I gave a friend a copy of FEAR, just to discover it ran way worse on his high end PC than it does on my Steam Deck.

Mostly replaying older games this month. One new pickup is “Return of the Obra Dinn”, which looks pretty interesting. I think it will be (eventually) a fun puzzle to put together, but I’m not sold on the on-boarding process of being pushed from one memory to another. Kinda feels like the game is dictating the pace early on, and I feel like that could have been handled better. But I’ve heard enough good things about it that I expect I’ll enjoy it a lot by the end.

Even better, have the litter in the litter box be new, but with one cat turd poorly covered on the top, where it looks recently used.

Thanks for sharing all of this, it was a fun read.

Apparently it’s contracted braille.

Contracted (Grade 2) braille is used by more experienced braille users. It uses the same letters, punctuation and numbers as uncontracted (Grade 1) braille but adds a series of special signs to represent common words or groups of letters, a bit like a kind of shorthand.

Books, magazines and other information tends to be produced in contracted braille, to cut down on size. Contracted braille produces much less bulky books and magazines.

This do not touch tag is a 3d print, the print creator says they made it using a braille translator website. Other braille “Do Not Touch” tags use some different braille letters for parts, and I don’t know enough about it to tell what the difference is. (edit: it’s contracted braille)

Regardless, doesn’t seem to be an AI image.___
