    I think you can set the WINEDEBUG=+eventlog environment variable to make Windows Event Log entries appear on stderr (the standard error stream). You can normally see this output if you run Steam from a terminal window. You may be able to redirect it to a file using Steam launch options, but I’ve never tried it.

    I know I didn’t put adaptive in there, but that is what I meant when I said the triggers don’t work.

    Yes, I understood, but I wanted to clarify for the sake of other readers who wouldn’t. Most people who don’t have a DualSense don’t know about its adaptive triggers, since they’re not a common feature on game controllers and not used by most games.

    And how do you get the touchpad to work? I can get the buttons on it to work, but I haven’t gotten the mouse-like touch input to actually work, despite being able to map it.

    On the desktop, I didn’t have to do a thing. It was automatically recognized when I connected the device, and I could move the mouse pointer and click right away. (I ended up disabling it in Xfce, because it sometimes got in my way.)

    In Steam, I usually remap areas of it to produce keyboard events (useful in Elite Dangerous), but I think it can also be mapped as a mouse. I haven’t fiddled with Steam Input’s many options in a while.

    I disagree.

    1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
    2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
    3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
    4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

    Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.






  • Its an actual term

    It’s a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That’s all.

    Saying “its an actual term” [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.

    The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)

    It was a few years ago when I read Signal’s statement about this, so I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you.

    I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it’s important to note that without Signal’s blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It’s not the same as official interoperability.

    I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

    Unless Signal’s policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

    If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.
