Keith David the Arbiter Keith David?

sort of. the win-gfx kernel mode driver is the crux of the issue here, and the reason the packaging has recently split. The user mode drivers on windows are still shared across all of RDNA though, so there’s some hope.

this is wolfenstein as fuck

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

Yet to be seen if BMG-G31 ever ends up releasing

what could go wrong

hell gcn1 still sees functional improvement thanks to valve’s involvement

wait this is that episode of family guy

Is there some story leading up to this?

we could take hints of the functional design from covenant tech like the weapons and vehicles and use lighting along the side as a battery level / DPI indicator with some RGB LEDs diffused under a translucent plastic ribbon (I’m still thinking of the type 25 here but there’s several other examples too).

I need to try sketching this out at some point. A degree in industrial design and I’ve never really put that to use in a professional context 😓

keyboards are one thing; I’ve recently been wondering (and don’t worry, I know how dumb this sounds) about the prospect of a gaming mouse with a finish reminiscent of something like the reach plasma rifle.

The covenant weapon textures in H:R are stunning, I would hope that the curved shapes of most mice would lend themselves well to that sort of aesthetic.

would be neat to feel that texture, that hexagonal pattern, neater still if the materials used could give off that same sort of metallic, pearlescent finish.

for context, a couple friends and I have sort of been inspired by the open source ploopy mouse. would love to make something in that vain, though wireless if at all possible.

sort of like a more accessible bookmark, separated out so as to not get buried within 800 tabs (if you’re anything like my mum). it’s not anything groundbreaking in actual use, I guess it kind of just appifies a given webpage (there is some technical nuance that I’m kind of glossing over to assure standards compliance and help them perform better offline).

It can be kind of nice on a phone to eliminate some of the UI chrome given the limited screen real estate you have.

I’m sorry that happened. I’ve never seen stuff like this but this is likely because I disable as much shit as I can every time I set Firefox up on a new system. As you can see from the list of recs I linked above, it’s a bit of a chore.

There are definitely smarter ways to go about it, like scripting the disablement of stupid shit in Firefox (or using a privacy respecting fork of the browser), but I like to do this / monitor this manually to keep track of any newly introduced anti features.

I don’t think PWAs are necessarily at odds with this? One use case I could imagine is setting up a website that a parent or grandparent frequently uses as an app icon on their phone’s home screen, it can help avoid a lot of browsing UX hurdles people like us often take for granted

pixelfed offer an app and a responsive website; you can think of it as an open source and federated alternative to Instagram (I’m not sure why I use it besides welcoming people leaving meta’s services and up voting pictures of cats and dogs).

The web experience is technically more capable than the android app, which I believe uses react native anyway. Having it as a pwa kind of neatly tucks it away from my other browsing on my phone.

I don’t use them for many things but in terms of UX, I can totally agree with that. my guidance would just be to disable unprompted suggestions on the desktop rather than the functionality of PWAs.

in my (albeit limited) experience, that isn’t how it works. for example, ublock origin should still filter content as you’d expect, and I’d imagine inspect element would work on desktops too.

this just renders a webpage without the typical UI chrome (tabs, address/omnibar). it can be handy on am android phone for webapps like pixelfed (which is the only thing I use as pwa so far).
