Love how you organized them by proximity. Also, great bike picks.

Depending on the sticks, you will not know it is hall-effect unless you open the controller or if after playing a lot you are drift free. If it is legit, you might want to share the seller with us, as it might a great place to buy improved joysticks.

Now, I just wish Sony or modders would improve the battery life of the controller.

I think the ProtonDB mixed ratings are because there are plenty of old review and people do not update much VR games. I have been using Steam VR and HTC Vive with Linux for a while now, and I remember when Creed and a couple of other games would not work. I think about 5 years ago, with Proton 5.13, that changed and since then, pretty much everything works.

My only problem is with Steam VR software that is a bit inconsistent. I used to do a bunch of stuff with it, now I just launch the games and avoid it when I can.

PS5 works great on Linux, everything works: from gyroscope to touchpad. But the stick drift and battery life are the two main downsides. One of mine started drifting after 2 years, the other is still ok, but I have been using a GameSir with Hall-Effect for a while now as my main controller.

Not sure where you are buying it from, get it from a place with easy return policy as the quality may vary. Amazon was rigorous with their products, ebay only gave me headaches with refurbished stuff.

It is easy and cheap to find replacement parts but fixing it is very time-consuming task and require the right tools https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualSense+Joystick+Replacement/142488
Sadly, when I did mine, there were not many hall-effect sticks replacement for PS5, and the ones around had terrible calibration. I will probably update with hall-effects when they die again.

There are plenty of budget controllers with Hall Effect or TMR sticks, that might be worth looking into GameSir, 8bitdo, gulikit…
Just make sure you can do everything with hardware for a smooth Linux experience (some controllers require a Windows only app for basic setup or update firmware). It is also worth to search for the “model you are interested and Linux” to find problems related to the device.

I remember, when I was a kid, of a bunch of ads on TV raising awareness and medical professionals would visit schools to teach stuff. And you could get free condoms in events and medical facilities. Those campaigns were not only about STDs, also about a bunch of other health related stuff, from driving safely to using floss and recycling.

I don’t see those any more. I talk to people that never heard of those campaigns, and some are afraid to “look like a sailor” for carrying a condom.

I think the last campaign I remember in Canada was “Plenty of Syph”, a fake dating website where people’s profiles would show different stages of the disease.

Brazil uses Civil Law, as many other countries do, not Common Law as in the USA.
Brazil does have the concept of Jury, but this case fits a different criterion.

There are some conditions for a jury in USA as well.
