Happy to see continued Wayland compatibility updates; I just wish Wayland wasn't so problematic for gaming on my system :|

Sweet, just got my invite! Curious to see if this means they've also expanded the limited test to include Linux, since my main desktop is running Manjaro.

I'm in the same boat; longtime MusicBee user on Windows, and it's one of the few things I haven't found a "good enough" replacement for on Linux.

Your friendly reminder to promote and encourage development of walkable and bikeable cities/towns, and to promote good public transit!

Fair enough, adapters do exist, but as you point out, there are situations where that is not ideal. On a long flight, for example, where I might want to charge my phone and also listen to something, or (in my case) someone who does some amateur audio engineering work on the side, where having the ability to simply wire in a device to play some audio is a big plus. My biggest problem is that phones from five years ago could do both wireless and wired headphones just fine, no adapters needed. What have we gained as consumers by the loss of one of those options?

Galaxy S9, and most likely a Sony Xperia 5 IV (or 5 V, since that's supposed to release in a few days). Honestly I'm using the S9 until it completely gives out on me.

My thoughts on it: cool, now give it a headphone jack again and I might buy it.

I'm not buying a phone that requires $100 wireless earbud DLC (which honestly feel like just another thing to become e-waste in a few years when the battery gives out).

Very important message; this gambling stuff is a cancer on the game, and it negatively affects all of us.

Still on my Galaxy S9 for now, but I'll be watching for the release of this one. I flatly refuse to buy any phone that does not have a 3.5mm jack, and so far it seems Sony and Asus are the only two players left in that space.

Dang it, I got especially excited because I thought FaceIt was finally going to support anti cheat/their client on Linux for CSGO, too. Glad to see that BBR is getting some love, but c'mon, FaceIt...

For some perspective:

  • Funding given by BofA to the groups listed in the source: $390,000
  • Funding given by BofA to fossil fuel companies: $232,000,000,000

(Granted, this is not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, as the fossil fuel numbers are for 2016-2021, not 2017-2020, but regardless...)

CSGO and Northgard both have native clients; I think Northgard's native client has an issue where you can't use the Steam overlay in-game, but I believe that's some sort of OpenGL glitch. Otherwise they're both pretty flawless.
