Yes but as the other commenter related, semi-improper (Ex. 15min instead of 15 min) or in my case, not having to go searching for a degree sign when I just want a quick conversion. If nearly ever search engine and other assistants can understand without it being proper, I should at least be able to introduce a custom conversion if Kvaetsitso can’t.
I really love Kvaesitso but I wish I could adjust the unit conversions. Im so used to entering a query lkke “15c to f” which works in search engines and Apple’s spotlight search buy Kvaesitso doesn’t work with that.
I know its technically still a ‘mechanical’ keyboard but its not an MX style switch: IMB Model M. I still daily drive one for work even though I can’t use some shortcuts (no win/super key) and I have a handful of modern mechanical keyboards at home.
If not that, then probably the one I had for work a few years back, similar era but membrane, unknown brand. It had a little bit of an old smell to it and found it in an abandoned warehouse at work. Left it for my replacement when I left that job.
What Steamymoomilk had stated previously is that Linux on Apple Silicon is better than macOS for gaming. But Proton support is not only a very new feature to Asahi Linux but also still has issues.
x86 Linux > macOS (with or without Crossover) > Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon macs (what the previous commenter said was better than macOS).
I guess I didn’t clarify, but there comment from the previous user had stated that on the new M Series chips that running Linux is better for gaming on those devices (ala Asahi Linux).
No doubt Proton on normal x86 Linux PCs is great. My primary desktop and ROG Ally has been painless (aside from some old games that have issues regardless of OS).
But Proton is still buggy on Asahi Linux (support was literally announced a week ago or so). Meanwhile of the games I run on Steam, only a handful needed Crossover or Whiskey for macOS.
That’s so false… That’s like saying the only games Windows can run is Halo and whatever crap is in the Windows Store. Steam has thousands of out-of-the-box compatible games and Crossover helps cover many other games.
Before I got I rebuild my Linux gaming PC (watercooling shenanigans) I gamed for a solid year on MacOS. I played Baldur’s Gate 3 on release for Windows through Crossover, was on my second play through when official Mac support dropped. I’ve played Civ 5 & 6 with friends. I’ve made many cities in Cities Skylines. I played FF7 Remake again. Even for old 32-bit Windows games like Touhou 6 run with minor tweaking.
june (she/her)@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What is least terrible SmartTV OS for privacy?3·9 months agoMy partner and I were gratefully surprised when we bought a cheap Hisense for their cozy space (to isolate when overstimulated and just play some games) that in the setup it offers the option for a ‘dumb TV’ mode with no requirement for internet. In addition you can reject the user agreements and still use the TV. It boots straight to HDMI, no pop up ads, and is snappy.
june (she/her)@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft officially recommends a new PC and OneDrive to update to Windows 11English2·9 months agoMany distros nowadays have decent support forngaming accessories and a mix of Lutris and Steam/Proton have given me a near seemless experience on Linux. Smooth enough for my partner to hop ship to Bazzite for their ROG Ally.
Sometimes there are small quirks, like controllers on Bazzite just work™ but on Vanilla OS 2 my xbox controller wouldn’t be recognized by Steam or games wirelessly (wired worked) but my DS5 controller worked flawlessly (including the trackpad that I never got to work on Windows).
Most of the Steam library will work well and ProtonDB is a great resource for compatibility. Furthermore there are Decky plugins for setups like Bazzite and Chimera that embed the ProtonDB rating into the Steam game page.
june (she/her)@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosted music streaming (and me giving up on it)English4·9 months agoSo mostly I try to get my music from Bandcamp, artists’ websites, or iTunes. With these methods I don’t have to correct any info through Kid3 and normally have the correct album art for Navidrome.
If they don’t have an option to purchase their music I’ll use soulseek or yt-dlp to download it. That’s normally for obscure artists, music that can’t be sold due to Copyrights, or sanctioned countries (for example Russian musicians).
I’ve found that self-hosting my music has helped me slow down my music consumption and be more picky about what I listen to. I’ve also found good quality applications such as Feishen (macOS), play:Sub (iOS), and Symfonium (Android).

Autoflatpak also works for that as well. I don’t have the steam copy of FFXIV but no issue, I added it to my library without issue.

AMD graphics are well supported and using a mix of Proton though Steam and Wine I haven’t really had any issues with games. I have an ROG Ally running Bazzite and a gaming PC running Vanilla OS 2, both do just fine. Additionally hosting game servers on my Debian server has been fine as well.
If you’re on the fence I’d recommend installing on a separate drive and giving it a try.

june (she/her)@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•The Worst Feature Apple Ever MadeEnglish1·11 months agoAs someone who dailies a trackball, mouse, and trackpad: it depends on the setup. Trackpad is nice for when I’m on my laptop with just one screen. Mouse is nice with two high resolution displays and gaming. And at work I exclusively use a trackball across a triple monitor setup.
june (she/her)@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is.111·1 year agoI mean, I can see why it’s brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.
Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.
And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.
Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.
Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I’m in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I’m keeping that information off Signal.

Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.
I love that Heliboard is so simple, it feels like a properly developed keyboard without poorly implemented gimmicks.
Also regarding language, I have a great time being able to swap between English and (my very poor) Russian.
