What are You Working on Wednesday
  • A small program in Rust to get the SBOMs of several versions of the same package from different repositories (PyPI and Maven for now).

    I had never used Rust before and I must say it's a pretty comfortable language to use compared to C++

    I'm sure there are better tools to do what I'm trying to achieve but it's a good learning experience regardless

  • Adobe to update vague AI terms after users threaten to cancel subscriptions
  • Kdenlive is acceptable for small video editing but I suppose you mean something up to the standard of Davinci Resolve or close

  • Next he summoned a lemon
  • I think you're right when saying "day-mun" for daemon as my language, Basque, uses the term "daimon" when referring to service daemons in software engineering, which is taken from the pronunciation in English.

  • Ukraine lowers its conscription age to 25 to plug a shortfall in troop numbers fighting Russia
  • As even your Wikipedia article mentions, even though the east of Ukraine hasn't always been in the same page politically, this separatist movement is fairly new and probably fueled by Russia since at least the 2010s and exploded after the Euromaidan protests .

    You can see it by checking the Ukrainian Referendum of Independence of 1991.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum

    Only 12-13% in those oblasts voted no, compared to the whopping 42% from Crimea, which is understandable because it was originally Russian territory ceded to the Ukranian SSR by Nikita Khrushchev as a gesture of goodwill (not that it justifies the 2014 annexation it suffered by Russia).

    Even though the vote was about leaving the USSR, we can't separate the Russian question completely from it, and it was an important issue during the referendum.

  • this doesn't work because it's Linux
  • If you want better compatibility with Microsoft Office files, you could use WPS Office. It has given me better results overall than OnlyOffice and far better than LibreOffice.

    Not dissing the other suites, I like LibreOffice for daily use but there's nothing I can do about M$ Office templates bugging out because they don't follow their own OOXML implementation properly.

  • Plasma 6: How to use HDR with games?
  • Hi! To enable HDR in most games you will need to set your game in fullscreen. Windowed or Borderless won't allow you to use HDR functionality.

    You'll also need to use the DXVK_HDR=1 %command% startup variable in steam to enable HDR in any Proton game. Proton 8 and 9 should support HDR without issuez although there are some games that might need additional configuration.

    If you use an NVIDIA card, you might need to enable NVAPI with DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1

    Happy gaming! :D

  • resident evil spanish rule
  • I always found so weird that the texts were in Castillian Spanish but the voice acting was in Latin Spanish.

  • Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on Statcounter
  • After years of using linux distros and settling on an arch based distro for my daily use, I switched jobs and they allowed me to have "linux" as my laptop OS.

    They put Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on the laptop. Admittedly I hadn't used it for a few years, maybe 18.04 outside of server use cases maybe.

    The experience is horrible. It throws errors about Ubuntu, about Visual Studio Code or any program every hour, without those programs having any trouble whatsoever to function.

    It reminds me so much of Windows, and even though I prefer it over that system, I can't shake the feeling I'm serving the OS, rather than the other way around, just like in Windows.

    And don't even get me started on Snaps over DEB packages. Had never tried them before and I can say with confidence the hatred is deserved. Code didn't even start up in the snap version and Firefox was so slow and laggy I was thinking the laptop was broken somehow.

  • pomni.xml
  • Ding ding ding!

    Although Gradle is not much better imo...

  • What is the right way to pirate Microsoft 365 Suite for Linux?
  • I've consistenly made an Office 2016 bottle that works. I haven't been able to activate it though.

    The guide is in Spanish but it's just importing the bottle and changing the language. Others have left ISOs available in other languages in the comments.

    Hope it helps!

  • Team Fortress 2 doesnt launch anymore after updating my arch install
  • Try to use the flatpak version of Steam to see if its some library that has been updated what's causing TF2 to not launch.

    It happened to me with CSGO and haven't found a fix for it yet so I have two versions of Steam now.

  • Family Shared games disappear on reboot
  • So after some trial and error I found out it's somehow the official Steam Dock. It breaks family sharing on shutdown, reboot and suspension.

    The solution seems to be unplugging the Dock whenever any reboot, shutdown or suspension action is going to be done and replug it only when the Deck is active and signed in.

    Really weird bug. I didn't even think the Dock could be an issue in this regard.

  • Family Shared games disappear on reboot

    Hello everyone.

    I bought a Steam Deck for my sister and set up her account and mine on the device. Family Sharing works fine until the Deck is rebooted, where only her games appear on her account.These are the steps we have followed:

    1. Sign in both accounts to the Deck
    2. Enable family sharing on both accounts, making sure our accounts and this specific Deck are authorized

    I didn't sign out my account afterwards or anything like that. My games will appear on her library until the Deck is shut down or rebooted. The next boot my games won't appear on her list and those that are installed will show a Buy button instead of play.

    We found a workaround which is to sign in with my account, disable and enable family sharing again, but this is not really a solution.

    Has anything like this happened to anyone? Is there anything we are missing?

    Thanks in advance!
