I’ve seen yards in upstate NY with probably a hundred ground bees flying over them in the spring. You can see all the holes in the dirt they make. I’ve never seen 800(!) per square meter, but I’ve see a lot. Especially if the yard is raised up relative to the sidewalk. Perhaps because of the better drainage.

Good to hear, and, wow, that’s scary

Awesome, thanks!

Auto Suspend

So what happens? The screen just goes black in the middle of a game? I guess that would be a clue to plug it in, if you’re expecting it.

Right now, having it shut down when you didn’t realize the battery was low is really annoying.

But here’s something I’ve done many times. I pick up my Deck, I turn it on without thinking, and it turns out it’s at 0% (or very close to it), and—as the screen comes on and the CPU wakes up—the voltage has suddenly dropped below the low-voltage shut off, so it shuts down immediately. Really sucks.

I did this like three times before I learned to always plug in the Deck before turning it on if i’m not certain I have good battery.

So what would happen with this plugin installed? Would it wake up and then immediately go to sleep again? Or is there a threshold where it doesn’t check if it should sleep within a certain period since waking up? In that case, it would likely shut down as normal. But I’m wondering if there’s a chance the plug-in catches that and makes it go back to sleep. Because that would be excellent as long as I knew what was happening.

Is it painful to go back to stable from beta? Like, do I risk losing anything… Steam input options, settings, anything like that? I never know when some new-to-me feature I just dicovered is beta or not.

I previously uninstalled Decky because it broke my Steam Deck too often, and the advantages just weren’t compelling enough to deal with that. I’ve wondered several times if going back to the stable branch would make it work better, and if I should try it again, and I’m glad you confirmed that it does.

Makes sense. Like MAME, like the other reply mentioned. No one says Multi Arcade Machine Emulator.

Some of us don’t even know what RPCS3 is, so LBP could have been anything. I get it now. No need to explain. But maybe use fewer initialisms next time.

If you call your debate opponent anything like “little buddy”, “sweetheart”, etc., you instantly lose the argument.

Orginal Oblivion with mods. I have never played it. I just got the game installed yesterday, and set up in Vortex. Now I have to go grab all the mods, which is very manual. Vortex mod installation links on the Nexus don’t work on the deck. There might be a way to fix that because the mod suggestion list I’m looking at said there’s a way to make links work with Mod Manager 2 on the Deck.

I’m following a curated list of mods that will be a “vanilla+” experience. Not too crazy or anything. It’s called “A Pocket Full of Cheese Wheels” on the Nexus. It comes with a one-click installer shell script that installs Mod Manager 2 and a bunch of other stuff on the Deck but I’m just going to do it manually. The script is old and no longer maintained.

I modded Fallout 3 with Vortex on my Deck, and it was pretty easy when the game is installed on the SD card. I feel like that was key, but I don’t remember exactly why. You also have to symlink the “My Games” folder from the Fallout 3 (or Oblivion) Proton prefix into the Vortex Proton Prefix. That’s so Vortex can manage the INI files and such. Plus you set the SD card as the D: drive in the Vortex Proton prefix so it can see the game’s folder, too. In fact, I think that’s was done automatically done by Steam. Maybe that was why I installed the game on the SD card. But it’s not like you couldn’t make your own drive mapping. It’s a simple symlink named like “d:” or “e:” in the “dos_devices” folder. I don’t see why that couldn’t point to the NVMe drive, but I feel like people online said that wouldn’t work. Vortex is also installed on the SD card.

Maybe some day I’ll document all of this.

That’s awesome! Must have taken a day or two, I bet.

Does it actually list the packages that are suggested?

If a package is recommended, it gets installed by default. They’re not strictly necessary for the core functionality of the main package, but they are commonly used by many users.

On the other hand, suggested packages are like plugins. They won’t necessarily be important to most users, but some might find them handy. Things like alternate backends for specific use cases, or a plugin to enable a specific (and rarely used) service.

I haven’t used apt in a while, but I don’t think there’s a way to automatically install all suggested packages. I think you just install them manually by copying and pasting the package names, and running additional apt install commands.

But unless you know what specific usage you need before I probably wouldn’t bother.

I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas.

There are all kinds of AI avatar narrators.

–cpu-moe

It is (was?) an AI that made videos from prompts.

You don’t seem to understand. This is Lemmy, and all AI is “slop”. No exceptions.

You’re not making any sense.

Why not just write to USB directly?

cp debian.iso /dev/sdX

Because one single character typo and you just wiped out your system drive or some secondary HDD. It’s much safer to use a tool like Etcher.
