Well, thank you! But I have more bad news. The communication with lemmy instances is handled by code from someone else. And development for that stopped months ago. So one would have to patch the other library somehow too. And that only fixes the login (which should be rather simple in essence). The changes to 2FA are a bit more complicated. Though, that should only break the setup process, not the login with it.

Sadly, fixing that would require someone that has at least a fair bit more experience developing with that language and tools, and more dedication.

Welllll shhhht. I don’t want to switch apps :(

I have now wasted a couple of hours on getting the app at least to build before I can even start making changes. But it won’t build and I can’t figure out why. Additional problem is, that this is not a “old-school” Android project in Java (or Kotlin). It is a Flutter project and it uses Dart as language which I have never used.

Additionally, there is an automatic build server that I maybe could have used to infer what the problem for me is, but even it fails to build the app. I cannot look into the older successful runs since the logs have been deleted since. Clearly something has changed from the build tools used but I cannot guess what (correctly). This is the outcome of the problem when nobody uses fixed versions but rather defined “newest”, which now breaks everything and nobody knows with what versions it worked.

So I tried Flutter 3.16.0 and 3.13.9 which are most likely too new since it complains about missing and wrong stuff. With 3.10.6 tries to build but it somehow stops without any reason given and I cannot find out how to get it to tell me what the F the problem is.

Sorry for my rambling but I hate this shit and maybe this helps someone.

Thank you for the heads-up! Welp, I guess I have to get into android development again after all. Not sure where I should pull the time from.

I am weirdly looking forward to the surprised pikachu face when the privkey leaks in the first week and suddenly suspiciously specific info about virtually everything whats going on privately in the EU pops up all over the world, including politicians and their friends.

I don’t get why I would ever have to read announcements. I put the game on the wishlist and got the notification that it is available. I only knew of the post because I watched a streamer play it for a bit and one in chat mentioned the announcement and the streamer read the message out loud. At the very least they should have marked it early access.

On one hand it’s great that it works that way. On the other hand, I use youtube only sometimes on my tablet so I would like to have my subscriptions carried over. Can’t have it all I guess.

Windows: “While updating I found out that some weird thing was set as first boot priority. I fixed that by setting it to myself. You are welcome!”

I would like to suggest my wooting keyboard. It is not quiet but i think their switches should qualify as linear. Not sure about the layout but I have the german layout so that might be a “yes”? I have the 100% variant. Sorry, i am not very deep into keyboards.

Their config tool is basically a website, so as long as you have a browser with webusb support on a system it works. Had some problems with the udev rules (most likely a “me” problem), so I used the desktop version instead.

Bonus you get is that the switches are an analog input. So you can change mode to analog and have like “slow walking” in games. Though, I have not tested that yet.

BUT it is hella expensive.

I also have cheap paddles (i think that that is the right word?) off amazon i use often. But the “support” is basically that the config is saved on the device so you config it once in wndows and that was it. I just bound it to random keys once and assign them in games. Would need to dig up what the paddles are called though.

As I said in another thread, I do not check compatibility anymore beforehand. I install and select the newest glorious eggroll proton in steam and it works. Granted, I play only indie games, so if you play competitive with anticheat I would stay on windows to be safe and avoid the hassle or suspended account.

In regards to performance I don’t know if I am missing out.

I don’t because every time I fall in a weird pitfall where like /tmp is different or samba shares can’t be accessed. Or the UI is blindingly white instead of dark like the rest of the system. Though, I can’t remember on which one I had problems (probably both), it was some time ago and just gave up on them.

No problem! I hope you like some of them :)

List of the best:

• against the storm
• deep rock galctic
• astroneer
• dyson sphere program
• escape simulator
• factorio (native linux)
• hardspace shipbreaker
• outer wilds
• timberborn
• valheim (native linux)
• vampire surviors
• talos principle
• war for the overworld

Maybe:

• monster sanctuary
• grow home/up (ubisoft development but without the bullshit what you normally get)
• len’s island
• superliminal
• wreckfest
• guild wars 2 (not indie and not non-AAA but still good; but you have to tweak a lot for performant gameplay)

Thats a quick list that i got at a glance from steam. It is a collection of a lot of very different genres, so there should be at least something in there for everyone.

Some of them I have not played in years and not sure about their current state but i am sure that they only became better.

If the game is on steam it is pretty easy. I just install the newest custom proton from glorious eggroll. And before i start a game for the first time is select this instead of the default proton. Then it just works generally. I don’t check protondb anymore, only in case of problems. I can’t even recall a game that doesn’t work currently. Granted, i don’t play AAA, only indie games.
