Glad to see some work being done on Plasma Bigscreen, I recently discussed TV UIs a bit with a friend of mine who currently does a lot of their gaming on a TV and will probably switch that computer to Linux when Windows 10 support ends.

 

I just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 (from 6.3.5) on OpenSUSE TW, and it automatically applied the Ocean sound theme. This included a new sound when changing the volume, which is fine, but it's way louder and hurts my ears when using headphones, which is less fine (I have some sensory issues which may be related). I've figured out how to disable it, but is there a way to just turn it down?

For now I've gone back to the FreeDesktop sounds (which has the much more pleasant to me popping sound) but I'd like to try out the Ocean sound theme without hurting my ears or disabling the volume control audio feedback.

That's fair, but by that accounting it's probably better to say that when you buy something for $10, $1 goes to the worker, $1 goes to the company, and $8 goes to other companies who then pay their workers, etc.

Of course they exist, but they're likely not factored in to the cost of the good you're purchasing. The worker isn't going to make any more money if you buy a product. (Unless there's a commission, I suppose)

Or "Invasion of Privacy" Policy

If I'm reading the merge correctly, the Wayland bugs aren't fixed, PCSX2 just added enough workarounds to consider things working.

That just incentives devs to just push out whatever mess they currently have and say the game is released, and they'd do it unless Valve wanted to start moderating game again. At least right now the abandoned games are still labelled early access.

Every time I hear about muskrat these days I can't help but think of Chang. I wonder when the amnesia arc is going to start.

Steam is a massive worldwide market, and the Steam Deck isn't offered everywhere. Chinese users for example have to import it, so not many are used there.

It's EAC, which is kernel level on Windows but not on Linux. I guess they wanted to go full kernel-level anti-cheat.

Transporting large quantities of electricity isn't easy, you have to have large enough interconnects to handle the energy you're moving around.

Yeah this is a big part why I'm very skeptical of Signal. It feels a lot like Ubuntu's snap store, it's technically open but you can't really interact with the main corporate controlled ecosystem.
