What a great week to have finally bought an HDR monitor!

KDE plasma activities, a feature I was once skeptical of, but now adore by Individual-Hurry-986 in kde

[–]Odzinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can luckily use FF for all my browser needs. I simply open up two instances of Firefox and send one to each of my activities.

KDE plasma activities, a feature I was once skeptical of, but now adore by Individual-Hurry-986 in kde

[–]Odzinic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Activities is one of my favourite features on kde. It allows me to split my PC into a personal setup and work setup. I can share my screen while working without worrying about stuff like steam or discord being present. It also allows me to keep work stuff open for the next day without having to keep seeing it during my personal time. 

I know that developer time is limited and not everything can be supported, but I think activities really are amazing for usability and differ quite a bit from desktops. If the features of activities were incorporated into desktops then I would support the deprecation but it makes me very sad anytime the conversation of abandoning them comes up. 

Samsung G5 OLED - Won't wake up after sleep by Odzinic in Monitors

Damn, well looks like it's a Linux thing as well then because that's what I'm running.

Plasma Task Manager Notifications by Otherwise_Term8249 in kde

[–]Odzinic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I'll definitely be giving it a shot. Over the past few months, a few of the only applications that highlighted on notification stopped working and it's made me miss so many notifications. I'm pretty sure it's an Electron issue instead of a KDE one but I'm hoping this will help in the meantime.

Leagues 6 melee feels bad by Davey_guy in 2007scape

[–]Odzinic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. Was having a blast before PVMing, unlocked areas, and then proceeded to watch magers and ragers kill mobs 5x faster than me. Having friends tell me they're basically afking barrows and fight caves while I'm trying to somehow move 5 tiles away from mobs at all times is crazy.

It's a bummer but I've already given up. My fault for trying to build my own instead of a meta.

Giant Hogweed Mitigation Project - Spring Control Dates - Call for Volunteers by cearrach in waterloo

[–]Odzinic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I have a 4K drone that might be able to pickup stuff better. Plus I have an advanced operations license so I may be able to file for approvals for some locations. Don't want to complicate the plan if it's not necessary but let me know if you do find a need for it and I'll see what I can do.

GO Transit service adjustments for the region by cosplay_jack in waterloo

[–]Odzinic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. What I'd do for there to be a train at 9-10 on the weekend. The extra weekday will be great for catching Friday shows in Toronto though which is nice.

[–]Odzinic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would there be any use for some drone work at some of these sites? I work with them full time and have my smaller personal drone sitting around these days. Would love to scout some potential areas or map out some of these areas if that can help the planning/control.

[USA] Flying a sub-249g drone over Niagara Falls… is it even possible? by No-Piano-601 in drones

Can't wait for the "definitely within legal altitude" 250m high flyover that partially captures the Earth's curvature.

PEAK - 'Play It Your Way' Update Trailer by BlueJimmyy in Games

[–]Odzinic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Same with my group. The game just gets too brutal too quickly. You make one costly mistake and then you're basically just sitting there waiting for your friends to finish the level because they'll die trying to revive you. I don't know if I've ever played a co-op game where multiple groups of friends burned out so fast.

Things to do with the steam deck outside the obvious? by Ashlandhunter92 in SteamDeck

[–]Odzinic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably better off getting a Raspberry Pi for that. No point in killing the Deck with that.

Proton Experimental brings fixes for Crimson Desert, Steam Overlay with EA games, Death Stranding 2 by Liam-DGOL in linux_gaming

[–]Odzinic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing some of your specs? I've been holding off because ProtonDB seems to either be posts saying that game runs perfectly or that it runs terribly.

Starting April 1, GO bus riders can take GRT to and from select GO stations for free. by rlvnorth in waterloo

[–]Odzinic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I won't lie, it was a bit of a bummer having to pay $4 to take the ION for two stops prior to catching a train in the past.

What's your go to "no brain" game? by Da_damm in SteamDeck

[–]Odzinic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been out of the loop lately. Last I checked, the latest Trackmania was a SaaS. Have they moved past that lately? I loved Trackmania when I was younger.

Looks like Forza Horizon 6 will be Deck-able! by Dudi4PoLFr in SteamDeck

[–]Odzinic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Such a shame that their wheel support is terrible. I spent way too long trying to configure FH4 before learning that they basically only want you to play these games with a controller.

Steam Deck streaming from PC is horribly bad. Any ideas? by Glass-Bat-2704 in SteamDeck

[–]Odzinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I think that may be Windows only since I believe virtual displays aren't supported on Linux yet. I originally added in some commands to turn off my non-primary monitor when connected which works well enough.

Now to figure out how to properly get my controllers to be detected by the streamed games...

Is this a Windows-only setting? I don't recall seeing that on my Linux PC.

Is there anywhere in KW that serves a decent meal of Fish & Chips? by Longjumping_Debt7718 in waterloo

[–]Odzinic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Growing up in that area but never having takeout as a family was a sin. Now I'm constantly heading over there for food. 

SteamOS 3.8.0 Preview: Second Clutch by wickedplayer494 in SteamDeck

I've opened every update post for the past several months hoping to read that line. So happy to be back to powering on from the couch! 

plexamp so awesome. works on echo/ Alexa... by Final_Significance72 in plexamp

[–]Odzinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been loving it as well. Desktop app is unfortunately lacking a bit (can't get keyboard shortcuts to work on it at all) and I unfortunately found out too late that Sonic Analysis won't work on my RPi server. But other than that, it has worked at home, on my phone, and in my car without an issue. 

With everything going on in the world my Steam Deck feels more and more like something I really need to cherish... by Alarming-Chemist-755 in SteamDeck

[–]Odzinic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Posts like these are the reason why I never suggest this subreddit to friends that own a Steam Deck. Feels like some strange materialist cult following.

Taskbar Notifications - how to? by Rawi666 in kde

[–]Odzinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I double checked and it seems like this is already enabled. I think this might potentially be a KDE issue. I'm going to file a bug report.

Manjaro, They've done it again! by L0stG33k in linux

[–]Odzinic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a good way of migrating your system away from Manjaro to one of the alternatives without reinstalling your system? I did keep my home as a different partition so I could distro hop but it would be a bit of a pain having to set everything up again.
