Eh-e eh!

Many things still don't have a XDG portal like reading absolute cursor position (useful for some accessibility and productivity apps) and things who do have an XDG portal like screenshoting are usually not implemented in popular OS-agnostic libraries

Those things aren't supported in XWayland either for security reasons iirc and require X11 but I could be wrong

TIL the Victorian era wasn't during the Middle Ages... I feel like an idiot lol. Thanks for correcting me, I'll edit my reply :)

The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.

Basically, it's kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.

For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

EDIT: Not medival. I'm misremembering history (see below)

aye

Here you go!

Interesting! To me inverting the x-axis just makes sense in 3rd person games: you see the back of the head of the character so if the back of the head moves to the left your field of view should move to the right. Basically, the joystick controls the head of the character from your POV. Never thought that was uncommon!

GameCube controllers controlled the camera by using buttons and not two thumbsticks

Played a bit of GameCube a few months ago and that's definitely wrong

the c-stick isn't great but it's very much used for camera controls

however the rest of the article seems pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

TL;DW from my vague memories:

Oracle got the trademark for JavaScript because they bought the company who made it. Now they have no involvement in the JavaScript ecosystem aside from making a library that barely anyone is using. The JavaScript standard has to refer to JavaScript as ECMAScript because Oracle doesn't want anything to do with it and won't allow other people to use the JavaScript name.

The Node.JS/Done guy says that's stupid and had been requesting Oracle to release the trademark into the public domain for years which Oracle had always ignored/refused. More recently, Node.JS/Deno guy took Oracle to court for holding onto the JavaScript copyright with no intention of doing anything with it which ended in failure with Oracle claiming they're involved in the ecosystem thanks to that one library they made.

The guy who created JavaScript agrees that's stupid but can't help.

Sometimes it's plug-n-play and everything works great. Sometimes you press the update Nvidia drivers button on your Ubuntu work computer and then need to tell IT you bricked your OS. YMMV

No worries Mickey Mice! Hopefully you won't face any more big hardware issues after that ^^'

Good luck in your Linux journey! :)

21:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

It's probably related to this recent issue

In my experience Broadcom on Linux is a bad omen, second only to Nvidia. If you can, I'd recommend switching your Wi-Fi card for one that has better Linux support (e.g. "TP-Link Archer TX3000E" or anything that uses an Intel chip inside really since support for them is handled directly by Intel and integrated into Linux's source code). Good luck! :)

Make sure that your device is not 'rooted'. If the operating system is an Android variant (also called a 'custom ROM'), such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience, then the wero app can’t be installed for security reasons.

(cf. https://support.wero-wallet.eu/hc/en-us/articles/25599098295313-I-m-seeing-this-error-message-Your-device-does-not-meet-our-security-requirements)

I can't use it but it looks neat! I hope these companies will one day realise that requiring the user's device to be an opaque jail controlled by a usually foreign third-party isn't good security practice :/
