I hate that such good software #GrapheneOS is stuck on hardware I absolutely HATE using. Dongles suck, I want my headphone jack back, I'm stuck with only 64GB of space, and I miss having a stylus. I may go back to a Moto G Stylus with #LineageOS and #MicroG instead just to have an SD card again

2026-07-15 03:19:43 UTC

So uh... Trying to set up a #SteamInput profile for #FinalFantasyXIV to use L4/R4 on the Steam Deck/Controller fpr accessing the WXHD hotbar is significantly more complicated than I imagined. I can't get it to be consistent no matter what 😭 It'll work for one side, and then clicking the other fails

@nprofile…3wdr @nprofile…jnzr its not about the hardware alone, its about the hardware in combination woth Steam Input, which lets you map any input (mouse, keyboard, button, mouse movement, etc) to anything on the controller. The primary advantage is the track pads and being able to map those to anything, much like the Steam Deck.

@nprofile…mcmj @nprofile…8d0p it'll almost certainly be specific devices just due to how ARM chips work. Every chipset needs its own special drivers, which means you can't make a universal version to run on most devices. On top of Graphene being very strict on hardware feature requirement, which was part of why Pixels were the only supported phones until now

2026-03-03 07:21:17 UTC

@nprofile…8d0p really hope this comes to the budget devices. Motorola is basically the only phomes left that you can get with a headphone jack and SD card slot. Still use a Moto G Stylus instead of a Galaxy Ultra specifically for the headphone jack

@nprofile…8dzz I say its worth it. Plutomium is half the cost of Nitro (which I never used to begin with) and it helps support a fully open alternative which is desperately needed. Sure it's annoying to have things paywalled, but since self hosting bypasses it which also help reduce server costs I'm happy to drop $5 for it.

I've follwed Matrix for over half a decade now and have not seen a single improvment for communuty managment, and at this point I've given up on it ever becoming viable. I think new things like #Fluxer are much more likely to become a Discord replacement.

I wanted to try #TeamSpeak, but the app was crashing. I fixed it over 3 days and the problem was just bad code in TS 🤦
I use #Pipewire for my audio, and I have custom sinks (virtual input/output devices). These sinks can have a desceiptor in your pipewire.conf faled called devices.properties which basically is just a description of what the device is called for PulseAudio for the Pipewire-Pulse compatibility
Since at least TS5's beta, TS will completely crash if that device.properties section is missing, despite me having these sinks for LITERAL YEARS without a problem in any other application (Discord, OBS, a multitude of online games, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)
