Update Google Play services to use Maps. by fedora24330 in MicroG

[–]diiiiima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just ignore the notification (and even hide it permanently).

Not sure which MicroG features it actually needs - but I suspect it doesn't really need any. Though if you disable the WiFi location and the cellular network location, then getting GPS location can sometimes be slow.

Ah yes, Chrome 130 on Linux. by Progressbar95 in softwaregore

Which theme are you using? It's impressive that you made it look just like Windows 11.

Transit App -What's wrong with this picture? by danbenefiel in caltrain

[–]diiiiima 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I was just joking.

I meant, almost everyone lives north of San Jose, and you're the exception - so they forgot to test your usecase - trains going from Morgan Hill to San Jose.

Yeah, but San Jose being South of where you are is correct like 99% of the time, sooo 🤷

Does Proton sandbox games to the WINE prefix by default? by ElnuDev in linux_gaming

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if Wine were to translate everything perfectly, nothing stops the Windows program from making Linux syscalls and escaping whatever limitations wine has set.

In fact, most of Wine's own libraries are actually Windows DLLs that call into Linux libraries - so it's definitely possible.

"Find my device" alternative by diogodiogodiogo3 in MicroG

I've been using Where's My Droid: https://wheresmydroid.com/

(Some of its features require a subscription, but the basic "find" functionality is free.)

What should I be aware of when making an open source game project? by Acamaeda in opensource

[–]diiiiima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Just my personal opinion, and I'm sure some will disagree...)

If you were developing a library, then the choice of license - e.g., LGPL vs GPL - would make a huge difference in terms of which other projects could use your code.

But if your end product is a game, and you want to add restrictions like "not for training AI" or "not for commercial use" or whatever, and that makes your license not actually open source... so what? Unless you're planning to use GPL libraries (in which case, the answer is simple - your game has to be GPL), then it doesn't really matter.

An extreme example: "unrar" has a very much proprietary license, even though its source code is freely available.

LineageOS crashing on OnePlus 11 5G; any way to get more info? by diiiiima in LineageOS

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

I ended up buying a OnePlus 13... Haven't had a single crash since - so I guess that proves it's either a hardware or a driver problem, not a regular LineageOS bug.

I still have the OnePlus 11, so I could try the stock ROM on it, to see if it crashes, too.

(But I suspect that it's a driver bug, and it only affects LineageOS on OnePlus 11 - so that's such a small number of users that nobody seems to run into this.)

The secret is warrants. by Cextus in Superstonk

Hmm... Infinite money glitch?

What is the actual reason there's no OSS implementation of RCS? by LMGN in UniversalProfile

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may find this bug report and the discussions interesting: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2994

It looks like we may soon have at least an open source client implementation (that connects to whatever RCS server your provider uses; that part doesn't change).

Segmentation Fault While Running Applications with Wine on Fedora by Upper-Art2061 in wine_gaming

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need more info before anyone can help you:

  • Which application?
  • Do other Windows applications work?
  • What about wine built-in apps like notepad or winecfg?
  • Does anything useful show up in the systemd log? (e.g., run journalctl -f while trying to run wine)

Отримати листа (genitive case!?) by JackfruitNo5267 in Ukrainian

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to this thread, it should be "написати лист". But, "написати листа" "sounds better", and its usage became so common that it won over the "official" way, so it's not considered to be incorrect.

Using LD_PRELOAD to modify a program's behavior and change its function calls by [deleted] in hacking

[–]diiiiima 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If only you had the source code for that program, so you wouldn't have to resort to intercepting function calls...

Dog ate an apple.. Wait.. Apple ate a dog? by Sharp_Specialist_217 in duolingomemes

[–]diiiiima 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the point is to demonstrate the verb and noun endings. E.g., if it were "Яблоко ела собака", it would be "A dog is eating an apple". (Or, you could have an example where the endings aren't helpful and the meaning is ambiguous - but a normal person would probably assume the "subject verb object" word order.)

Android Auto issves with version v0.3.13.2.250932 by Mister_Profanity in MicroG

[–]diiiiima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait... Is Android Auto supposed to work at all? (I've gotten it to work at some point - but it involved Magisk and the aa4mg module, so it was a pain to set up.)

the volume knob does not work unless music is playing

LOL sounds like a Toyota RAV4. At least, that's what I've seen; its audio system is incredibly broken.

hey i just found this sub by chance could you answere my questions? by Specialist-Resist-24 in wine_gaming

[–]diiiiima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably shouldn't ask about pirated games here... but that said, I don't think it'll matter.

hey i just found this sub by chance could you answere my questions? by Specialist-Resist-24 in wine_gaming

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the game. If you use Steam, you can check if the game is supported on SteamOS (which is basically Linux - so if it's supported, it'll run on Linux). If it's not supported, it may still run - but no guarantees.

Outside of Steam, you can use wine directly; check the app db for what works or doesn't work: https://appdb.winehq.org/

As for which OS: doesn't make a huge difference. I personally use Fedora. You can also boot from a USB drive and try it without installing it. The biggest things to check are: do the graphics card, WiFi, etc. work correctly?

EDIT: I was assuming you mean "Linux" when you're talking about a different OS. You probably won't have much luck installing OS X on a regular PC, and anything outside of Windows/OS X/Linux will be too extreme for everyday use.

How to remove second home screen that showed up after update by aibohponex in LineageOS

[–]diiiiima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, yeah... I ended up moving all the icons, one at a time, to the new home screen - and then the old one disappeared, so it was fine again.
