8bitdo and flydigi controllers support
  • I don't think the Pro 2 has gyro, no. Other models might though, I haven't looked at their offerings for a good while now, lol.

    Never mind, I looked it up and apparently the Pro 2 has gyro in Switch mode. I'll try it out on my PC and report back, lol. (I've never really bothered with gyro, tbh)

    Edit: Yeah, I can't get gyro working. In Switch mode (wired), my PC doesn't see the controller at all (on Linux 6.12, so it should have drivers for the Nintendo Pro controller โ€” I've read that driver has issues with 3rd party controllers anyway, so...)

    Interestingly, in "A" mode it shows up as a DS4 controller, but I don't see any gyro input with it under both Sudachi & RPCS3.

    So, maybe it works, but I can't get it working in under ยฝ an hour ๐Ÿ˜…

  • 8bitdo and flydigi controllers support
  • I've got an 8BitDo Pro2. I really like it, but I used to have problems connecting it over Bluetooth (wired would work perfectly fine.)

    It just needed a firmware update. You'd probably be fine now (I've had my controller for a long time now, and rarely ever gave it an update), but if you experience connection problems with it, I'd try updating the firmware.

    After doing that, my controller has worked like a champ ever since.

  • Do you have a link to your wallpaper? It looks so good!

    Btw, i think your Codeberg repo might be set to private; clicking the link leads to a 404 error. (The github one works fine, though)

  • What kind of music do you listen to?
  • Mostly rock & metal (Examples being: Architects, Beartooth, Chaosbay, While She Sleeps, Dark Tranquillity, Ice Nine Kills, Periphery, Babymetal, & Hanabie.. Though, throw a piano solo in and I'm sold (Corelia's "Treetops", for instance โ€” I need to explore more symphonic metal. Not that Corelia isโ€“ anyway).

    With that said, I've also got a few outliers that mostly include game & TV OSTs (Hoyo-MiX, Crush 40, kessoku band). Add in a few tracks from LiSA, and "Ghost" by Hoshimachi Suisei & the cover by Rachie to really leave my Spotify Recommended dazed & confused.


    TL;DR: The spectrum of rock & metal all the way from Incubus to Lorna Shore, with sprinkles of J-Pop, Electronic, & random OSTs to really hospitalize my Spotify Recommended.

  • If you could describe any music genre as a specific food, what music genre would it be, what food would it be, and why?
  • I feel like heavy metal would be like biting into a gumball and realizing it's a jawbreaker/gobstopper.

    (Love the genre; just thought this description was funny)

  • Confused about how to fix incorrect metadata
  • A TV Series can have an IMDB ID set: click the three dots on the series, click edit metadata, scroll down to External IDs, fill in as needed, then click save. (This alone doesn't update the metadata though)

    To refresh metadata, click on the 3 dots again, select refresh metadata, and select replace all metadata. It should use the IMDB ID provided to fill in & replace the metadata.

    As for subtitles: sorry, dunno anything on that. My subtitles come from DVD rips ๐Ÿ˜…. I've been too lazy to setup any subtitle downloader.

  • Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?
  • Sure does, if your motherboard plays nicely with it.

    Personally, my acer laptop doesn't; if it goes into sleep mode, I have to hard-reset it to get it working again.

  • What does your todo list / project management / productivity setup look like?
  • Joplin with sync via Nextcloud. It has other options though, you don't have to spin up Nextcloud just for it.

  • Links and recommendations, please...
  • Absolutely agree โ€” that entire album is amazing tho

  • Links and recommendations, please...
  • Spotify links cuz I'm lazy โ€” not in any particular order:

  • This post is crashing Boost for me
  • Crashed for me, seemingly as it was loading the top image as the second image loaded in fine. (LG G8 (not G8X, etc.), Android 11, Boost 1.0.4)

  • Thanks, TCP/IP
  • beer proceeds to shatter on the ground

  • Existing back in time where the general temperature of space was 0 celsius?
  • Don't take my opinions too seriously, I'm just referencing my Astronomy notes (of which come from a single semester of a single class). With that said, here's my 2ยข guess:


    I think they're trying to say that the last time the universe as a whole was 0ยฐC, was probably before the formation of matter in the universe (I'll guess the inflation era, just after the birth of the universe, somewhere 10^(-35 to -33) seconds).

    At this point in the universe, atoms cannot form (as the nuclear forces binding atoms are overwhelmed by the gravitational forces of all the energy in the Universe โ€” you ever crush a cracker? It'd probably be like that). Perhaps even sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons, etc.) can't form. All that's there is sub-sub-atomic particles (which we don't know much about, from my understanding).

    So basically we (and the world, etc.) would be ripped apart at the sub-sub-atomic level by the immense forces (gravitational, etc. โ€” remember, all of the matter/energy in the universe is being concentrated in a small place) of the early universe.

    So, it's not that we would necessarily evaporate, nor that touching sub-sub-atomic matter would kill us, but more-so that we'd be crushed, at the sub-sub-atomic level, by the gravitational forces of the early universe. It'd probably be painless though, at least.

  • Threads is making moves for Mastodon integration
  • There's a concept called Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (seemingly coined, in that form, in a Microsoft antitrust lawsuit). Here's the Wikipedia page on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

    As I understand, people argue that Facebook/Meta, via Threads, will use this strategy in the long-term to either kill, or make effecitvely obsolete, the open technology behind Mastodon. If not that, then they could easily make the federation part of Threads buggy & unreliable, souring their users' opinions on the "fediverse".

    They don't need to control anyone; they only need to host a majority of the userbase (by being the most popular federated site). And they're not starting from a user count of 1 or 10, unlike a lot of Mastodon sites.

    Obviously, Mastodon & Lemmy, and the sites that run them, can keep chugging along just fine, but it's argued that if Meta makes their federation implementation sub-par (or otherwise sabotages it), it'll hurt the user-base growth of sites that use these projects (as people will see begin to see it as unreliable or what-not).

    Is it as doom and gloom as people make it seem? Idk, I haven't had time to care.

  • Early Access: Become a tester for Boost for Lemmy and share your feedback ๐Ÿš€
  • Thank you for developing this app! Being able to use Boost again has felt like being right at home. Your UI/UX design is just amazing, and I've sorely missed it since Reddit's whole thing happened.

  • Discussion - What games are you playing right now?
  • I've been trying out Rune Factory 4 for the past week or so. It's a decent farm sim, with some story & RPG mechanics mixed in. It kinda reminds me of a worse Stardew Valley (farming wise), but with more story, less lore, and more interesting combat. Not a bad game, imo โ€” great to pass some time.

    I'll eventually finish Bravely Default... maybe.
