Ehh, for this one in particular it seems to be heavily designed for HOTAS. I bought it last night and played through the first few trainings. There's no horizontal/vertical thrust (EDIT: Well there is if you're in VTOL mode, but that's not the same as other 6DOF games where you can move in any direction at any time) so the default ship flies more like an airplane. I'm not sure if other ships are closer to 6DOF spaceflight but the fact that you can't even bind controls to H/V thrust outside of RCS mode makes me think they aren't.

It's a cool game though. I really want for more non-combat Newtonian space flight games. I just want to fly ships around and not worry about "credits" and piracy and reputation. Like a BeamNG.drive for 6DOF space simulation.

Very nice! I hadn't heard about this game until now. Looking forward to trying it out with my HOSAS.

Does Bazzite use a gamescope session on wayland by default? Gamescope has a bug which prevents the wayland client from drawing the steam overlay. I suppose it's unlikely to be the same issue but I happen to be dealing with it on my system (not Bazzite) so I immediately made the connection.

AOSP gallery that comes with GrapheneOS. The app info says it's called com.android.gallery3d. There's some info here in the docs about the relationship between camera, edit functions, and the gallery app.

No, I don't have markup installed (it is there in apps but not installed from the mirror).

I think in my case the screenshot functionality is built into AOSP and the editor you get when tapping the resulting preview overlay in the lower left corner of the screen is part of the "gallery" app since using the "edit" feature from gallery launches the same editor. Maybe GrapheneOS just sets that as the default editor, I'm not sure.

What android OS do you use? On stock Android 14 (GrapheneOS, but it's not a GOS feature) this functionality is built into the stock screenshot tool.

pwr+voldown -> tap screenshot that appears in the overlay after you take it -> tap the crop tool . I suppose step three could be removed but what if you want to do something that isn't cropping? There are lots of other features so at some point you have to tell the tool what you want to do.

broad support for generic smart watches

Gadgetbridge is pretty well on it's way to this. They roll out support for new devices monthly it seems like. Of course there are always feature X and Y that fitbit or garmin does that it doesn't, but it's quite an impressive project. I use it with a pebble 2 HR.

that last hashtag... lol

It's in ACC too for free apparently. Haven't tried it yet though.

What version of kde? I haven't tried it, or read about it beyond the changelog, however the latest beta release says that it supports RDP to connect to plasma desktops which is quite an interesting development if it works the way it sounds like it does:

Remote Desktop system integration to allow RDP clients to connect to Plasma desktops, plus a new page in System Settings for configuring this

For the "from anywhere" component you could use a vpn, but if you're looking for a simple solution with zero configuration than nomachine or rustdesk seem more appropriate. Just thought the RDP support was worth sharing.

Memories and Gallery (actually deprecated by photos) are not the same thing, just to clarify. I'm not in a position to agree or disagree with any of the statements here since I've never used immich, but I don't want people to think that the default photo viewer in nextcloud is what was being discussed here.

I love that you have an actual key with a keychain. The whole thing looks awesome!

Ah, I didn't want to make any negative assumptions about your disability. Yeah if you can get an off the shelf one that would be much easier. I have no experience with the CSL series (or any commercial wheel, I went from the t300 to a 15nm peak ffboard+odrive wheel), but I hear they are pretty good. What you will get from the more powerful and expensive models is increased detail at low power in addition to the obvious higher output as far as I understand.

 

I play titles like AC, ACC, DR2.0, AMS2, BeamNG.drive, etc. Up until this point my FOV adjustment has been the following procedure:

  • Use an FOV calculator to find my FOV settings for various games, My latest favorite is this one https://dinex86.github.io/FOV-Calculator/
  • Set the FOV in game (particularly annoying for things like DR2.0 but w/e)
  • Start a race or practice session with the virtual wheel and drivers hands displayed
  • Set the virtual seat position so that the IRL wheel hides the virtual wheel and the virtual hands behind what's in real life and the curvature of the wheels match approximately (works for most rally cars, road racing cars have a lot more variation in wheel size so less effective for that but I can get mostly close)
  • Hide the virtual wheel and hands
  • Begin racing

The problem I am facing is that basically all the games listed above save a seat position per vehicle. They are all a bit different, so this makes sense, however this makes it super annoying if I don't drive the same car all the time because I have to go do the whole procedure listed above, except for the FOV part, every time I want to try a new car.

Is there a better way or is this just what everyone does?

 

That's all really, just excited to have another dirt racing option. Also lots of other updates. It's pretty nice that if you had the 2020-2022 season pass you have access to the new content already.

A Pt2 of the Adrenaline Pack is already in production and will take AMS2 to even higher extremes - owners of the AMS2 2020-2022 Season Pass and of the AMS2 Premium Expansion Packs are secured both parts at no additional charge.

 

In Firefox I am unable to upload images either as the subject of a post, or as a part of the body using the image button. I receive the following error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data client.js:2:1753277

I found a github issue about it but it's really old, so I'm thinking it's not that relevant, even though it pretty much describes the issue exactly:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/403

There are some other issues in the lemmy backend repo:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+unexpected+character+at+line+1+column+1+is%3Aclosed

Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

EDIT: Probably should have checked first but this happens on other instances running 0.18.1, so I guess it doesn't matter, seems to be an upstream issue.

My messy corner. And my somewhat compact rig. I've never posted before so unsure what information to include but I'll give it a go.

  • T300RS
  • R838 Mod wheel
  • ebay arduino handbrake
  • TH8A shifter
  • Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals
  • Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
  • Some pieces of wood
  • Acer Nitro 37.5" QHD+ 3840 x 1600 display

I'm a bit insane... so I drive all the displays with a Radeon W6800 Pro which works surprisingly well for gaming despite not being intended for it.

I use Linux exclusively and have for over 10 years now. Racing is a more recent hobby but I've been gaming much longer than that. Despite what all the youtubers say it all works mostly fine. Though I found hid-tmff2 to be the most mature of the wheelbase drivers outside of logitech which is why I haven't picked up a used DD wheel base just yet.

EDIT: Dunno why the pic won't upload, maybe a bug with Lemmy 0.18.1? Anyway I added an imgur link instead.

 

I'm a member of the sim racing community on lemmy.ml.

https://lemmy.ml/c/simracing

If I go directly to that community there is a pinned post:

https://lemmy.ml/post/1703575

But if I browse the community from here on infosec.pub:

https://infosec.pub/c/[email protected]

The post is missing. Other new posts seem to be present and comments are working as expected since I was able to ask a question about said post in a different thread just now: https://infosec.pub/comment/591176

Has anyone else noticed this?

EDIT: In case anyone lands here with weird missing post or comment issues. I found that to work around this you can search for the direct link for both posts and comments which will force whatever instance you are on to find and show them. Probably not a great long-term solution but it works if you just want to reply to one or two people.

 

I don't seem to be able to comment on any posts on other lemmy instances. For example https://infosec.pub/c/[email protected] . When I try to comment it just spins. I expected issues with lemmy.ml but I've now tried several instances and experience the same problems.

Also comments on many posts don't match what you see if you go directly to the remote instance to view the thread.

Is there some federation issue with infosec.pub?
