I’m having a really hard time figuring out how to use my Xbox controller as an input device. It shows up and works great in games, and in the “game controllers” settings menu, but it doesn’t do anything on the desktop. I’ve enabled the toggle for “use as input device” and nothing happens. Where can I go to ask questions for troubleshooting? The matrix server doesn’t allow new members (I cannot make an account), and there doesn’t seems like there’s a discord server to ask questions directly.

The desktop environment you choose is really down to what you prefer:

Like trackpads? Gnome

Like the Windows desktop (and/or like customization)? KDE

Like windows XP flat UI or brutally simple UI? Cinnamon/XFCE

Common names are easy to parse gender until they’re not. I just met an elderly man named Courtney. My niece’s legal name is “Jaime”, which is a common male name amongst Mexicans. My elementary school had a Pat of both genders. Sam as well.

Then there are names from other cultures that speak non-Germanic, non-romance languages. Good luck knowing Mandarin or Cantonese names by reading them. Same with some Irish and welsh names. Same with names from Africa.

Personne peut me messager avec un boulot français au sud de la France (ou Paris). Je voudrais y évader toute suite. Chuis biologiste, et chevalier professionnellement.

Just for context, pancreatic cancer is objectively the worst cancer to get. Any news regarding pancreatic cancer is good news.

This is probably awful for the end consumer because they’ll use that lower rung in the price ladder to increase prices of the M series chips going forward. Technology is supposed to get cheaper over time, not slowly increase in price.

Who was overridden by the majority red legislature. The governor can sometimes be from the minority party, but that doesn’t really matter when all they’re doing is either vetoing or begging the opposite party to do what they want.

This is Kansas, one of the hard red states. It’s moving to purple, but as of now, it’s fairly red.

No clickbait titles please

Elon musk is only known as the richest person. He chooses to pay taxes and not hide his wealth simply because he wants to be seen as the richest person. There are far richer people in the world that we simply don’t know about because they hide their wealth and don’t brag online.

Live in a hot weather climate here in Tucson; windows are never open because of the effort required to open them shut them. The AC does its job just fine

If you need a good wireless headset that can do audio and microphone at the same time, you’re forced to get a WiFi (2.4Ghz) dongle enabled headset, or get an aftermarket dongle. Bluetooth cannot support high quality audio and microphone use at the same time due to the intrinsic limitations of Bluetooth (which may change in the future)

Niche communities don’t turn on a dime to a new platform. He’s on Twitter because his audience is on Twitter.

Quality-wise, the mic on that headset is bad, but it’s not the fault of Linux.

My Sony XM3 headset works really well

If you’re walking with an open container of liquid that’s filled so full it’ll spill, purposefully avert your gaze from the liquid sloshing as you’re walking.

Getting nervous that you’ll spill, will cause you to spill.

In the age of no-new-IP, why does it take so long for new games to come out…

I’ll easily use 2 condoms in one session… sometimes it rolls in a bad way or you put too much lube. If I was given 3 condoms to last me the whole Olympics, I’d first thing DoorDash a pack of 30 (since athletes aren’t allowed to leave the village).

I just cannot see how there’s any complexity to it. Compared to league, what’s the point if you can just hit square to win?
