Still J.C. Staff. Hopefully the production schedule doesn’t melt this time around.

Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn’t apply to Nautilus icons though.

it’ll usually be the artist’s name. Like if you search for “Taylor Swift”, you’ll get exactly zero results because that phrase is blacklisted due to a complaint from the label. If you instead search for a specific song, you will see results, and can work backwards from there to find the album you’re looking for.

The last time I had trouble finding something on Soulseek, it was an album that had released a month or two ago, so it might’ve still been too new.

Yeah, I’ve had to use that blacklist workaround on many occasions, lol

Oh wow, I never realized that was an option. Fixed, thanks!

I also just noticed I got the percentage in the meme wrong. Oops.

Linux is now at 4.55% desktop marketshare (up from <1% in early 2018).

Linux’s desktop marketshare has risen by ~350-400%, not 3.5-4%.

EDIT: reuploaded with corrected value

Context:

Back in 2018, Philip Robohle (doitsujin) developed DXVK because he wanted to play Nier Automata on Linux.

Valve hired him to work on it full time, then they released Proton (Wine + DXVK) a few months later. Proton likely would never have existed if it weren’t for DXVK, and by extension the Steam Deck either wouldn’t exist or would use Windows instead, and all the other cool Linux-related stuff Valve have worked on since probably wouldn’t have happened.

Desktop Linux’s marketshare rising is obviously not exclusively because of the gaming improvements, but it’s for sure a huge boon. Good enough for a dumb meme like this, lol

Every time it goes on sale, I think about picking it up, but then I remember…

It takes me long enough to finish 10-hour games I already own…

That’s only on the newest V4 stations, which are being rolled out incredibly slowly. All of the charges near me are V3 stations.

A 10% to 80% charge is about an hour.

It’s definitely been a thing in the US for a long time, not sure about the rest of the world. Ford and Rivian were the first to gain access, then GM a couple days ago. Hyundai, Nissan, Lucid, etc still can’t charge at superchargers in the US right now.

This location was $0.44/kwh, another one nearby was $0.62/kwh. The Electrify America station near me is usually $0.45/kwh.

It just rolled out to GM a couple days ago.

All the Tesla app knows is that I have a Chevy Bolt and I have an adapter, it doesn’t seem to care what adapter it is.

Threw this together to explain the issue, not sure if all Tesla stations are like this. Here’s how the chargers are supposed to be used by Teslas:

I can use the charger to my left like this, but then I fuck over that spot while leaving an unused charger unreachable.

If I really squeeze close to the chargers, I can use the left one, but then I fuck up the spot on the other side unless it’s another car with the same charger location as me.

Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:

Holy shit these cables are short, I’m lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.

The first two chargers I tried didn’t work.

The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.

I’m using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!

Can we reschedule? I have plans tonight

I would love to see what someone could do now in the same vein.

Genki is finally making a new TXR, got announced a few days ago.

I have a work-in-progress list here, strictly games I would consider “must play” in the genre. Notably missing the Ridge Racer and Tokyo Xtreme Racer games because I haven’t played enough of them to have an opinion.

Mostly arcade and simcade racers though. If you’re interested in sims:

For modding, Assetto Corsa is basically the modern rFactor.

For offline racing, Automobilista and Raceroom have pretty solid AI. Note: Raceroom’s pricing model is dumb, kind of like iRacing just without the subscription.

For career mode, Project CARS 2 (not 3) is basically the only sim that even tries.

For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

For rally, you’re already playing DR2. Richard Burns Rally is also shockingly good for its age.
