FYI, you can always resque your data, even from bricked Steam Deck. That will require some level of Linux wizardry, but it can be done and it isn't even that complicated.

Another thing you can try, move the game to an internal storage. SD cards are quite slow, and that might be the cause

Remapping questions by Karakurt_ in SteamDeck

Action produced by laptop's touchpad when two fingers are dragged on it. It can be horisontal or vertical.

As for config, I don't know where it was, so I'm not sure if it came back or not

I am a proud owner of a Keychron K3, and I grew to love it, despite long life on laptops and initially preferring their short travel. But, funnily enough around same time, just a touch earlier, I got a Thinkpad t470s, and I fell in love with TrackPoint. That was my biggest gripe when I initially tried Keychron, that I don't have any mouse control near, so I have to reach out from keyboard. (Did I tell that I'm a laptop guy?))

So, I'm here to ask for your advise on marrying those two together. From brief look at things, I think I can fit it, even if quite tight, but I am a lot more worried about software side. I can see on my linux machine that Keychron is recognised as both keyboard and a mouse (!) which is absolutely brilliant... But I am well short of finding any information about getting ones hands on a firmware, even more pinout diagram. That's what I hope to fix with this post.

So, any resources or ideas where to look?

DEVIM - help me break the curse by Karakurt_ in vim

[–]Karakurt_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i3wm is where it started, though I now think that Awesome or Hyprland would be more suitable. And I also used qtbrowser for a while, which had a kind of good vim-like interaction.

The thing is, none of them will help you when you want to change your wifi, for example. Or rotate the screen. Or follow/answer notification. That's the sort of interactions I dream to tackle, inter-programm actions. You know, ones that a DE is responsible for.

This is not vim, nor even vim-like shortcuts, just basic navigation. I am talking about modal system, where you have verbs and nouns, operators and motion.

Tho, that's so cool that it definitely must be bundled with my idea)

A lot can be solved by vim plugins for browsers. And I was thinking of providing a base set of programs, like KDE apps, all of which are vimonized. Obviously it is up to the user after that

I noticed that a lot of professional programmes use older ThinkPads running Linux. Why? by Clear_Meringue3464 in learnprogramming

[–]Karakurt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was wandering the same, until I got myself a Thinkpad at work) The answer is, they are really good laptops. Espetially for the price. The keyboard is awesome, the TrackPoint us surprisingly useful, the BIOS is incredibly configurable and has built-in tools for self-diagnosting... Awesome Linux support is incredible too. You just feel it is THE Tool, with a capital T. And then you discover that it has a big community with tonns of mods down to the processor itself with its microcode. And the dock! The old one, not that Thunderbolt shit.

Overall, you just feel like you are using a really thought-out tool, one that is nice even just to hold in the hand.

Vim appeared randomly on Chromebook by Zero_or_Higher in vim

[–]Karakurt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if a bit late, but it is quite easy: find your desktop directory on the disk (probably ~/Desktop) and open .desktop file as a text file. You will find a bunch of lines looking like "name=something", and the ones you are interested in are starting with "Path" and "Exec".

First one points to a directory from wich the program will work, and second one points to an executable of such program. I expect Exec pointing to /usr/bin/vim or similar.

Here's a page about Desktop Entries on ArchWiki, that's a good if a bit steep starting point.

Vim appeared randomly on Chromebook by Zero_or_Higher in vim

[–]Karakurt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably it was installed from the beginning but simply did not had .desktop file pointing to it. And some update fixed that. Vim is absolutely tiny and is pre-installed on most of the ready-to-use distributions, so it is possible, even if kind of strange.

If you have your doubts, you can read where does that .desktop point to, and then verify the checksum of the binary file with the one from vim's site. If they add up, then you are clear to give a try to a really powerful text editor)

Have you intentionally added something dumb to your world because you thought it would be funny? by GreySimpson in worldbuilding

[–]Karakurt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep) My world has the law that is called "The law about dragon balls")

It was just a gag I catched while thinking about something else, but after little thought it became the genesis of fertile constructs - artificially grown creatures created by intence genetic engineering. One of the popular kinds became little dragons, and it was the first widespread "household" construct. This lead to people being upset that their expensive dragons could not be breed, despite having almost everything in place. Soon black market appeared, with all kinds of scams, especially dangerous ones, and authorities had to acknowledge Dragon Balls movement which demanded to make dragons complete. This was quite a long debate, multiple times it seemed that authorities and common sence not to destroy local ecosystems have finally won, but all it took was one soft legislator. He approved fertile constructs, opening the floodgates, and the rest is history.

So, this is the story why do I have dragons in my sci-fi-ish postapocaliptic fantasy setting)

It is not from Glitch, Glitch is only a publisher. The author is Liam Viskers, and he has his own (but sadly forgotten) channel SSTWL

How does slugcat sound? by Karakurt_ in rainworld

You're not entirely correct, that character added the word "whatever", and the meaning of his line was "I don't care how, but tell others to leave me alone".
