<p>> household hasn't burned through a full tank in the months since. They may have killed the EV subsidies in the US but they just went out and created a huge regressive tax on everyone not driving an EV.<p>Modern fuel blends are usually 10-15% ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol, and thus is able to absorb ambient water from the air into the gasoline solution. Gasoline stored for a long time will generally increase in water content (if I am not mistaken lol), thus it maybe for future reference, try to avoid ethanol based fuels if possible if you're not gonna be using your ICE car. It's like how people who store their motorcycles or fancy performance cars during the winter leave it without fuel, or add a fuel stabilizer.</p>

<p>As someone who learned the double bass in school, jumping to bass guitar & guitar was super easy cause of the fourth tuning intervals. Anytime I ever jumped on cello, it was a nightmare cause all of the sort of "relationships" between the current note I was playing and other notes were totally different.</p>

<p>I'm on KDE 6, and I don't have a ~/.kde. I think now a days, KDE uses ~/.config and ~/.local/share. Honestly, sometimes I wish the KDE Frameworks had a thing like Dconf, so apps can store their configurations inside of a database instead of barfing everything out into a ~/.config folder.</p>

<p>Anytime I see anything posted by an Iranian on Instagram, there are always people commenting "how much did you pay regime for white sim" or something like that (white sim refers to users who get internet access without any filtering). I know multiple people in Iran who bypass restrictions using modern VPN solutions such as wireguard + xray for proxy.</p>

<p>As long as people get hurt and there's research to do, doctors are not going anywhere. Maybe the profession will change, but having a dedicated person/team of people for healthcare is something I think that will stick around for a long while.</p>

<p>I have an OG Steam controller.<p>On Linux, whenever I connect to my computer without steam running, it will show up as a standard USB HID device. This means, funny enough, I can use the trackpads like a mouse n stuff on my desktop environment.<p>However, SDL3 (and SDL2 via sdl2-compat and SDL1 via sdl12-compat with sdl2-compat (lol)) supports the steam controller. This means that, without using steam, I get native gyro support and stuff in software like Ryujinb and Citron.<p>Furthermore, at least on linux, there is sc-controller which is a userland driver that makes the steam controller present itself as a standard Xbox controller. Of course, this means you aren't gonna be able to use the fancy features directly in the game, but it does mean for software that doesn't use SDL and isn't on steam directly, it will act as an FOSS alternative steam input layer. Also, it even has Cemuhook motion server. This mean before SDL3 added gyro support for the steam controller (giving any emulator using SDL3 and SDL2 via sdl2-compat gyro support native), you could have still used gyro controls. Also, with Proton now, I think there is a flag to tell Proton to use SDL input method instead of steam input. I think this means (i have to test it), that you can use SDL to use steam controller with proton outside of steam.<p>I think on windows, we will see something like sc-controller.</p>

<p>SDL2 and SDL3 have steam controller support. Also, now that SDL2-Compat is a thing (alongside sdl12-compat), this means literally every game/software that uses SDL 1-3 for controllers on Linux (and windows too) should support the steam controllers.</p>

<p>I've used something like this before on my Samsung S24 to see a deleted text from Signal. I checked the notification history and the text was there. Fortunately, Signal has an option to make it where notifications don't actually have the message in it. However, the receiver has to enable that option.</p>

<p>Huh, I just saw that. Huge bummer.<p>I have a Radeon RX 6800 and on my system, I use ROCm's OpenCL for some stuff and HIP for blender cycles rendering. If ROCm were to drop support for my card, that'd be a huge bummer.</p>

<p>I've been using ROCm on my Radeon RX 6800 and my Ryzen AI 7 350 systems. I've only used it for GPU-accelerated rendering in Cycles, but I am glad that AMD has an option that isn't OpenCL now.</p>
