Looks like one of the better tutorial / documentation series in a blog I have seen a while for Bash. Most are short and shallow. I think this is NOT an Ai slop. I won’t read it, because I know most of the basic stuff and some advanced stuff too. But from quick look I could recommend this. Well done.

Right, I completely forgot about “Super”. It might even be the more common term.

The “Windows” key is just called “Meta” (Edit: or more commonly “Super”) key in Linux. It’s used for hotkeys, especially stuff that has to do with window management. I also set a simple press on it without other keys, which would open up “krunner” (to search or run apps).

The wait for Half-Life 3 is longer.

Thunderbird. I even use Thunderbird as my RSS reader too.

You shouldn’t feel any lag at all, even on Bluetooth if its working properly. Maybe there are other things going on that adds to the overall lag. You should test another controller that is not using the xpadneo driver.

I quickly searched the web: https://superuser.com/questions/1653283/how-to-resolve-the-input-lag-when-using-xbox-series-xs-with-bluetooth-on-linux and the person solved the issue by updating controller firmware, the Linux Kernel and the xpadneo driver itself. But its an old post, so maybe not what you need to do. I don’t know what distribution and version you have and if you can update at all.

I used the Xbox 360 game controller for years on PC, then switched to Xbox One, then Xbox One S and then to the Xbox Series S controller. So we speak about decades at this point. I played extensively Steam games and emulation for all kinds of systems (where input latency is extremely important in some games). At the same time I also have used extensively a wired classic SNES like shaped controller that is wired connected and recently I replaced my Xbox controller with a 8bitdo wireless controller.

So you see there is some experience in using and in comparison. Latency was never an issue and I never felt it. But the common theme here is, I never used Bluetooth and always use the (even if its proprietary) dongle by Microsoft for connection. That’s because it should provide superior connection stability and better input latency. I always had issues with Bluetooth before (I mean with any other kind of hardware connection) and always hated it and avoid it.

Having said this, Bluetooth can be good. In example the Playstation consoles and their controller are using Bluetooth and its not an issue there. But you have to make sure that the driver and the Bluetooth dongle (or chip) is compatible and working fine, in combination with the controller. If you notice a difference between wired and wireless, then its a sign that the wireless connection doesn’t work properly for your setup. I think my best advice is to buy the proprietary dongle from Microsoft (as I hate doing this, but its the best for Xbox controllers). You will also need to change the driver from xpadneo to xone.

However I switched recently to a different controller because I experienced a few issues with the driver. Because the driver wasn’t updated for a while and it broke with a new Linux Kernel update on my Archlinux based system.

Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental

Nice, I didn’t know about that. But the problem with Wayland is like always it takes too long. That’s why nobody implements it.

(Edit: I always mix up the terms server side and client side decoration. Hopefully by my description its clear which one I’m referring to.)

Pro SSD: the window manager should decide how the apps look

• user: consistency across the operating system usage
• dev: generalized and less burden on the dev, less dependencies to worry about and development specific to GNOME
• both: flexible, change your window manager and the app changes without modifications (at least in ideal world)

At least for a normal window. I wouldn’t mind if an application can request with a high priority that it wants to display its own decorations. In that case there should be an option to disable decorations from the window. That is how some applications do work and allows for a flexible usage based on users configuration. Now if there was just an official API from all window managers that can check this configuration, then the user wouldn’t even need or know there is a setting for.

Nokia is just like their phones: they can’t die

It does not matter what media or if its interactive or not. My point was about people not talking about real issues and just pointing with the finger to the boo-man, like videogames and now Ai tools. Besides videogames are also interactive, but that was never the point.

It is not just speculation, it is a warning not to just believe alleged accusations. We saw this a lot of times with politicians too too, while pointing to Ai to hide their real problems. So I ask you, have you prove that all of the accusations are true that the kid died because of the Ai and there the kid had no suicidal problems before?

But yes, its easy to say “you have no clue” instead of coming up with facts. Its easy this way to point with the finger and believe what you want to believe. Plus I said if its true at all, then I am for regulation. You instead ignore all of my points and say “you have no clue”. I wonder if you have any clue what you are talking about.

Edit: And then you put stuff in my mouth I did not say at all. Just delusional. Believe what you want then and ignore real problems. Not worth my time here.

but you are saying that the companies selling these products should get off for free because they “would’ve done it anyway”

I am not saying that. Did you not read the last part of my reply?

Last year, the company was sued by the family of 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III, who took his own life after allegedly developing an emotional attachment to a character he created on Character.AI. His family laid blame for his death at the feet of Character.AI and argued the technology was “dangerous and untested”.

I wonder if the death is really connected to the Ai. It could be the person was already in a problematic situation with family and friends, and they just need to blame someone or something and don’t want to admit the real problems. Kind of what often happened back in the day with videogames getting blamed for killing humans.

Now, I don’t know if this is what is happening, but it is good to have the mind open. Because we could end up in a society where everyone undermines real problems in physical world and blames Ai to sideload the question. Nontheless I think the outcome that the companies restrict access to adult only is a good thing. But the entire industry needs to do this, not select services AFTER deaths. Because if this is the root cause of death, then why should others be allowed to operate? This needs regulation! I am not for regulating every detail, but IF this is causing kids to die, then it NEEDS regulation worldwide.

Because he is being sarcastic with the title. If you watch the video in what context… my goodness. It’s worse than I thought.

I watched the second one in theatre and don’t want to talk about it. Lot of people like it. But that is where I stopped. I don’t even know what happens after. :D

Probably because Kojima didn’t have time when the request came in. I wouldn’t mind a new Matrix game with current tech, as Matrix is my favorite movie of all time. I’m so glad there is no successor to this perfect movie, because the story ends right with the phone call.

No, you misunderstood my reply. I was not complaining about not having a package manager. I’m making fun of Windows.
