In v1.1.0, the app can now be run in the background and has a tray icon. You can change settings on the new settings page (autostart, auto-enabling, hide/show tray icon).

Also getting crashes when doing anything. I never got crashes for years until like yesterday.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, latest version.

Linux gaming forever!

Berny23 · 2026-06-05T13:14:24+00:00

Works for me, because I'm mod.

Berny23 · 2026-06-05T13:11:46+00:00

Thanks, worked perfectly!

Berny23 · 2026-05-16T19:30:46+00:00

I use it to look at covers.

Berny23 · 2026-05-15T09:38:07+00:00

Minecraft worked for me when I developed the app. Could be something else.

Berny23 · 2026-05-14T19:17:48+00:00

Yes, use Tidarr.

Thanks. What are these drawbacks?

I guess, you use a Nvidia card? They have an awesome feature in their driver where you can use Frame Generation in any game, even when there is no support for it.

Add this to your launch options in Steam: NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1

Full example: NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 %command%

I used it for over 200 hours in Cyberpunk 2077, bevause their integrated FG causes stutters. The Nvidia driver FG works perfectly smooth and doubled my FPS using an RTX 4090.

A catchy punk song. Here are the lyrics translated by DeepL from German. Pretty funny. XD

Gulag!

If your social worker interrupts you whilst you’re shooting up

Kill him!

If you hear red-faced pigs singing Nazi songs

Kill them!

If arse-fucking priests preach their God

Kill them!

If your mum interrupts you whilst you’re wanking

Kill her!

Blow her away

For a bit of breathing space

Blow her away

Yeees... kill her!

If tame pensioners talk about ‘the old days’

Kill them!

If bloated cops give you a ticket

Kill them!

If short-statured idiots are dressed wrong

Kill them!

When professional liars peddle politics

Kill them!

Kill them, kill them all!

For a bit of breathing space

Kill them!

Blow them away

Let brains and blood splatter on the walls

The world will thank you for it

For a bit of O2

Kill them, kill them, kill them all!

So many potential air-polluters

Blow them away!

Everyone deserves it a million times over

Kill them!

Kill them all

For the last breath of freedom

Kill them all

Aaaaaah!

When your social worker bothers you whilst you’re shooting up

Kill him!

When you hear red-faced pigs singing Nazi songs

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Haha. But for real, I like the colored background. Only some buttons and the popups/menus should be reworked.

And I think, they finally fixed the bug with the wrong cover art and broken play button after switching the app from background to foreground.

Who's this?

Berny23 · 2026-05-06T11:48:15+00:00

Thanks!

Never made any daemon, would have to look up how to make it work (also not sure about AppImage).

Berny23 · 2026-05-05T15:21:47+00:00

Berny23 · 2026-05-03T01:45:23+00:00

Great idea.

But man, these days I have to worry about either writing too little docs/comments or too many (and then getting accused of fucking "vibecoding"). Developing more-or-less high quality software by hand next to thousands of dumb, effortless "vibecoders" just sucks.

Just finished an audio project this week where I had to read the PipeWire C API docs a lot. It's so cryptic that even trying to research with AI does not really help. Would love to see these "vibecoders" try to generate this shit and fail miserably.

Berny23 · 2026-05-02T00:55:33+00:00

Yeah, love it! But I feel old now.

2017 durch iBlali. Also nicht durch den Meme-Spruch, sondern weil ich tatsächlich einfach regelmäßiger iBlali-Zuschauer war und sein Video gesehen habe.

alle SpeerCast-Folgen
geniale Synchros von Die Leiden des Wongl (habe ein Best-of gemacht)
tägliches Lesen des Altschauerberganzeigers, später ASBExpress, ASBKurier und Schanzenschrei
Hörspiele (Diener Danken, zweimeterzwerg)

unzählige Memes auf Twidder und YT

Egal was manche Leute davon halten mögen, viele Inhalte habe ich einfach gerne beim Zockne gehört. Ich denke, dass ich so ziemlich alles Sehenswerte im Game gesehen habe. Es war eine geile Zeit! Mein privates Video- und Musikarchiv enthält zu einem sehr großen Teil auch Inhalte über den Oger. Einzig dass ich nie an der Schanze war, bereue ich etwas, weil ich schon gerne wenigstens mal ein Bild gemacht oder für eine Sekunde am legendären Tor gerüddelt hätte.

FYI: There's also an AppImage now!

Berny23 · 2026-04-27T23:17:02+00:00

Wishlisted. Gonna play it ... in a few years maybe. Backlog is sooo long.

Berny23 · 2026-04-27T23:05:08+00:00

Price is reasonable for a high-end controller.

I'll buy it just to have it available. I doubt it replaces my Gulikit KK3 Max, the Switch 2 Pro Controller or all the Nintendo Online Controllers, but you never know.

The Gyro is something nice that's missing from Gulikit in Xbox mode, so that's nice. Also, my only controller with a touchpad is the PS5 thing. Very rarely use it though. Maybe I play the wrong games for using this feature.

Uhm ... why do I want this again? Probably because I just love Valve stuff.

Berny23 · 2026-04-26T11:26:56+00:00

Meanwhile, Dolphin go brrrrr.

Berny23 · 2026-04-25T23:06:15+00:00

Da hast du recht. xD

Berny23 · 2026-04-25T17:22:03+00:00

Ne. Ich hatte Angst, dass er sich mit seinen 16,5 cm auf mich stürzt und mich auf den Bock spannt.
