For daily habit tracking, I’ve been using Loop Habit Tracker for almost four years now and really like it. Probably not the same use case as a counter app, but while we’re on the subject I thought I’d give it a shoutout.

Actually DXVK now supports dx8 since July (version 2.4).

Nice

Lots of people have been saying they should focus more on developing Firefox rather than doing other things like partnering with Mullvad or whatever. There are already quite a few other fediverse instances.

My french teacher in high school said that everyone gets winded going up stairs, cause people who are fitter walk up the steps faster

(I got desperate and read the wiki) apparently if you just knock her out you can recruit her later. I haven’t gotten far enough to see it work though.

Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is really fun and silly. Doom Eternal is also cool.

Is Chrome’s ad telemetry opt-in?

I use Ecosia (which uses Bing results) and it seems decent, although I haven’t used Google or DDG in a while so I can’t compare.

Amazon Sidewalk?

An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.

Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.

Ironically, on Jerboa I don’t see any alt text.

It takes some fiddling, but I’ve been using HDR on Linux since Plasma 6 came out. If you don’t have an AMD GPU it would probably be really difficult to set up though.

HDR (and VRR) have been working for me for the past few months (Plasma 6, AMD), but I still keep Windows around for some games and yeah there’s no way I’m trying VR on Linux. I think I get noticeably worse performance on Linux as well, I think there’s some issue I need to fix with that.

Probably in programming communities ? people will understand : people won’t understand

Are you using a scaling factor with x11 legacy apps set to be “scaled by system”? That runs them at a lower resolution and scales them up. You can fix it by either using Gamescope or changing it to x11 apps “scale themselves”.

My monitor (Acer XV275K P3) has a better MiniLED local dimming algorithm in HDR mode than in SDR, so even SDR content looks better that way. Also it’s annoying having to switch it back and forth, it’s way easier to just leave it in HDR mode and not worry about it.

For the washed-out colors, are you using an Nvidia, Intel, or AMD GPU? If you’re using AMD you need to run kernel 6.8 or later I believe, if you’re using DisplayPort.

I’m not sure why your display lets you adjust contrast in HDR mode, I would just leave it at the default imo.

Yeah, I used it a couple years ago, and for walking especially it seemed really cool, since it has all sorts of extra data like slopes and benches or whatever. But there are a whole ton of settings everywhere, which is cool that you can customise everything but also a bit of a mess. Definitely more for power users it seems.

Wikipedia has a list, it may not have every single one but it should have most of them.
