    Steam Controller page updated: $99 USD, releases May 4th

    Jump

  • There are rechargeable AA batteries. I prefer this over built-in batteries because I can swap the batteries out immediately instead of waiting for the controller to charge. It is also cheaper and easier to replace the batteries when they eventually begin to wear out.

  • What Lemmy Client are you Android users using in 2026?

    Jump

  • Thunder is not in the official F-Droid repository. It might be in a third-party repository such as IzzyOnDroid.

  • What's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make?

    Jump

  • This works for cases where just being a member gets a lower price, but at least some stores have digital coupons that need to be added to my account. This would not work with a generic card. It is definitely a good tip for stores where it does work though.

  • What's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make?

    Jump

  • Grocery store rewards programs. I know they are designed to link purchases to me, but the financial savings is worth the loss of privacy for me.

  • While still not as seamless as on Windows, WiVRn works great for VR on Linux in my experience.

  • Open Source Cloud Storage

    Jump

  • I really like Filen. They have an open source app on all operating systems, including Linux, which Proton Drive still does not support. They also recently added support for Rclone.

  • Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

    Jump

  • Signal still requires a phone number. What was added is usernames for contacts, so you no longer need to give other people your phone number for them to contact you. It is a step in the right direction, but it would be great for them to get rid of the phone number requirement all together.

  • Lemmy Client Question

    Jump

  • Thunder and Voyager are my favorites on Android, but Mlem on iOS is my overall favorite.

  • How often do you fluff your pillows?

    Jump

  • Never. I have latex foam pillows that are a solid block, so there is nothing to fluff. It took me a while to get used to how firm they are, but I absolutely love them now.

  • What's a good audiobooks server/client combo?

    Jump

  • You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

    Jump

  • There is Synctrain and Möbius Sync. They are not perfect due to iOS restrictions on apps running in the background, but they work well enough as long as I occasionally open them to make sure they sync.

  • Western Digital is already sold out of hard drives for all of 2026 — chief says some long-term agreements for 2027 and 2028 already in place

    Jump

  • HGST was created after Hitachi bought IBM’s hard drive business. It was then later bought by Western Digital.

  • Fix for KeePassXC browser integration

    Jump

  • Thank you for the script!

    I wish the Flatpak developers would start focusing on the little details to solve problems like this. I have been using Fedora Kinoite for a couple of years and it heavily depends on Flatpaks. It works well, but due to many problems like this, I no longer try to fix Flatpak issues. I always try Flatpaks first, but revert to layering native packages at the first problem. I just do not feel it is worth all of the workarounds.

    I will try to remember to give this script a try the next time I do a fresh install before falling back to native packages.

  • Non-US cloud storage for backup?

    Jump

  • I no longer use Nextcloud. I use rclone with the smb remote for my NAS.

  • Non-US cloud storage for backup?

    Jump

  • pCloud has a Linux client. Both GUI and CLI. But I personally use rclone for all cloud services. It is often even more reliable and offers better performance than official clients. It also allows managing multiple cloud services from the same place. It supports client-side encryption as well.

  • Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

    Jump

  • Valve is being sued because they are forcing others to follow policies that further entrenches Steam as the largest store.

    Since Epic bought the game developer, it only applies to themselves. It is much harder to sue someone over a decision that only applies to something they own. How can a company be sued for not selling their product at a store? Should Valve be sued for not selling their own games on Epic or GOG?

    Is Epic’s decision to only sell their games on their store annoying for users? Yes. But unfortunately, there is nothing illegal about. There would be a better chance of a lawsuit of Epic paying other game developers for exclusivity, but that would still not be easy as game exclusivity is still a significant factor on game consoles as well. Albeit much less than in the past.

  • Mecha Comet - Modular Linux Handheld Computer (Currently on Kickstarter)

    Jump

  • The software is pretty good in my experience. The biggest problem is the hardware was already old when the Pinephone launched 6 years ago. There is only so much optimization that can be done on decade old mobile hardware.

  • Mecha Comet - Modular Linux Handheld Computer (Currently on Kickstarter)

    Jump

  • What about it? The Pinephone is still available.

  • iOS client for freshrss ?

    Jump

  • This is also my favorite mobile RSS app. I am currently using it with Miniflux.
