Go on Grindr, have hookups, wait till one gets attached.
t1c commented on Flipbook – Animated QR Codes   github.com/cereallarceny/... · Posted by u/cereallarceny

That's absolutely correct. The good news is that Flipbook is intended to be more of a standard than a solution. The solution (the writer/reader libraries) are more intended as a specific implementation of a standard that could easily be adapted into native and non-native camera and scanning apps.

So yeah - your point is completely valid, but adoption has to start somewhere. Thanks for checking out the project!

If you're serious about making this a standard, you should think about making it a proposal to be an ISO standard, much like how QR codes are.

This would be cool – the problem, 99.999% (source: I made it up) of people just know to open the camera app to scan a QR code. So if this is displayed publicly, nobody would know how to scan it without going to another website anyway, which I feel defeats the purpose. Very interesting implementation though!

I'm looking around for a good Linux laptop. Any recommendations?

I didn't check anything out in person, but have looked at reviews of framework, system76, thinkpads and there hasn't been one where there haven't been serious complaints (e.g. bent parts in some framework 16s causing the whole thing to rattle.)

(Is an M1 Air with Asahi a good idea?)

t1c · 2 years ago
M1 with Asahi is a very bad idea, unless you want to be wrestling your computer to barely work. Either get a Framework laptop, or one of the new Asus Zenbook S 16 laptops (I just got one, and it's really nice. Works on Arch Linux with some kernel patches, which can be gotten pretty easily via the linux-mainline-um5606 AUR package).

They got DOOM running on a diffusion engine before GTA 6

Just use whatever stack you like tbh. I personally like Vue for very reactive web apps.

Tried with a couple of my repos, seems like nothing more than a LinkedIn slop generator with the most generic rephrased descriptions imaginable.

For me, it's touch screen support. I try it out periodically to see if it's improved.

Battery life is the second issue.

t1c · 2 years ago
Touch screen support depends on your desktop environment, I'd recommend giving a modern GNOME + Wayland setup a try. As for battery life...yeah, that's hit or miss. There's some management tools that can help sometimes.

I recently tried. After hours of trying my xbox controller still can't connect. Steam doesn't detect my Gullikit controller and frankly, I have to literally decide to go down this pain again to hopefully maybe switch one day.
t1c · 2 years ago
That's really weird, I also have a Gullikit controller (the one with the hall effect sticks) and it works perfect OOTB on my desktop & laptop, both running Linux. Maybe try switching the mode on the controller to Windows/Android instead of Nintendo Switch?

I can only think of one reason: gaming. Gaming on Linux is much better now, but still nowhere near as good as gaming on Windows.
t1c · 2 years ago
Yeah, definitely for multiplayer. Love what Valve is doing though, hopefully more companies will follow suit.
