Peer review is for scientific papers, not lab results. If you have reason to question the lab that produced the results, then please share it.

I think you can set the WINEDEBUG=+eventlog environment variable to make Windows Event Log entries appear on stderr (the standard error stream). You can normally see this output if you run Steam from a terminal window. You may be able to redirect it to a file using Steam launch options, but I’ve never tried it.

The log is a plain text file. No special viewer needed.

Won’t that make the front fall off?

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.

Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

Which ants? What important work do they do?

Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.

I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.

Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn’t. Most people who don’t have a DualSense don’t know about its adaptive triggers, since they’re not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.

And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.

On the desktop, I didn’t have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)

In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven’t fiddled with Steam Input’s many options in a while.

Indeed, but I didn’t comment on audio, and you didn’t specify the other bits in your original comment. Triggers (without Sony’s proprietary variable resistance), gyro, and touchpad all work fine over bluetooth.

Most games require the DualSense to be physically plugged in to use the triggers, gyro, touchpad,

Most games? Not in my experience. Perhaps that’s because I mostly play on Steam (which has Steam Input to map those things as I like) and console emulators.

the development experience for native software has sucked for a long time.

For as long as Windows has existed, I have found its APIs to be noisy, awkward, and generally unpleasant to use. It was a major part of why I switched my development focus to Unix a long time ago. I guess this is a matter of personal taste; I wonder how you’ll feel about the APIs more commonly used on Linux after five or ten years of using them full-time.

Despite a few niggles (I don’t care for Bourne-style shell syntax or Windows shell syntax) I have found my productivity to be better and more enjoyable since the switch. Nowadays, benefits include everything that comes with an open-source ecosystem, like the software install/update model of Linux distros, and the ability to solve or work around library/OS problems myself if I can’t wait for someone else to fix something.

And, of course, having a privacy-respecting platform for myself and my users is important to me.

In short, I’m happier here. Welcome.

By the way, if you do cross-platform desktop app development, give Qt a try. It does an excellent job overall.

Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?

Its an actual term

It’s a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That’s all.

Saying “its an actual term” [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.

The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)

A game category made up by people who think “boomer” means “anyone more than a few years older than me”.

These wolves were modified based on dna from dire wolves, and presumably made to be as close to the scientist’s understanding of dire wolves as possible.

I guess you missed this part:

And Colossal claims it has turned grey wolves into dire wolves by making just 20 gene edits?

That is the claim. In fact, five of those 20 changes are based on mutations known to produce light coats in grey wolves, Shapiro told New Scientist. Only 15 are based on the dire wolf genome directly and are intended to alter the animals’ size, musculature and ear shape.

Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn’t end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

People should not be treated badly in general, but not “called out”?

I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren’t of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they’re treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we’re vision-impaired or not.

I plan to bound my way to a safer place, like a two-legged gazelle, so that no more than one foot contacts the ground at any time.
