First time I hear about inkstitch. Looks great!

Have you heard? The release candidate of 1.0 dropped just a few days ago. It looks very interesting.

I also felt a little underwhelmed, I thought the installation would be more difficult.

If you are not in it for the memeing I find it to be a great distro.

At first I did, but i really like vim now

Sure, its very effective. Someone commits a crime, everyone gets turned into gold statues. Seems fair.

Sounds impossible. The way they turn the screen red is by reducing the blue light transmitted through the LCD panel. You cant turn the screen red and keep the blue light at the same time.

Unless its an oled screen. Then it is a stupid implementation. You could just reduce the blue light then.

I like that it is optional. Would be even better if it was adjustable.

I noticed that since the last update I trigger it a ton. I dont know if it was a feature before that, but now you helped me find the setting, so thans!

What do you mean lately? I personally repaired a drifting xbox360 controller, and that console was released almost 20 years ago. I assume the controller was just a few years younger than that. I think eventually all potentiometers develop this issue.

I’ve seen those in disassembly videos of the steam deck and the switch maybe. But all the standalone controllers I personally have taken apart were soldered in place. eg. xbox360, dualshock4, some generic third-party ones.

As far as I know its the graphite parts inside the potmeter that wears down.

It happens because from normal use the potentiometer inside the joystick wears out. Usually you can buy joystick assemblies for a 1/10 of the price of a controller, so if you can solder its very affordable to repair them.

If you dont want to solder, you can extend their life by applying a bit of contact spray to the potmeters inside after disassembling the controller. But that can corrode other components, so be careful with it. Still beats just throwing them out.

But but but… Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.

How did that guy shave and change so fast?

I want 8kg of Legos so much.

I find this to be the best keyboard. My language uses a lot of non ascii characters and its so much faster to type them with this!

Not true, that is just lazy writing.

A big upside of this approach is that it is also just cool to do something cool.

I don’t know what the job market is like where you live, but for me the things that help lamd jobs were my silly hobby projects.

At the time of my first job it was a smarthome like thing. Just some temperature measjrements and thermostat switching, but later in the job they told me how hard it is to hire people who only do school.

Do something cool for yourself and it will help you in other ways.

Out of curiosity I did one of these tests. I got 34 on Autism Spectrum Quotient, which it says is significant. But to me the questions felt way too generic. I suspect most introverts would score high on this test.
