Quoting: RenardDesMersUpgraded yesterday without any issue. I didn't see a lot of change except for the pill on the top left and my extensions being broken until they update (I hate Gnome for doing that again and again)
Same. This case is kinda justified though. The GJS was really in dire need of upgrades to allow developers to write extensions in a more modern way. This was really a royal pain in the neck and I appreciate any improvements on this side.

The changes are breaking but not very complex. It's mostly rewriting the way extensions include other files. There are however many extensions dead in the water that will probably never get the required updates, as usual. Most really are a one dev show and when the dev goes on hiatus we end up with this kind of situation.

Here is hope that this will not happen that often any more. Especially since there are now plenty of resources for new devs to get into GNOME extensions development, which was not always the case.

Odd. Can't click "Like". Ajax fails with internal server error: sql error :/

Did you know that you can import .kdenlive projects to another KDENLIVE project for a while already?

That's what I did so far when stuff becomes cluttered. Works just like in Blender.

Can even be worked with, like cut again 😄

X4: Kingdom End and free major upgrade out now, making it Steam Deck Verified

Is that with our without Steam?

…cuz Steam tends to map everything to a virtual gamepad hiding the real thing and that may not work with X4.

Quoting: ValckThis is likely not about you setting cookies, but being an external site
I'm also that external site and I ain't setting no stinky cookie 🙃

Thanks for your praise :) That really motivates me to do such stuff.

The flying part is kinda optional and only really required at the beginning. It's a sandbox game where it happens that you can also fly every ship :woot:

…and I'm totally bonkers on this anyway.

Perfect. I just figured that out too: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=414524&p=5172395#p5172395 [External Link]

My default config is empty and the shipped lib seems to default to alsa. Setting this (or ALSOFT_DRIVERS=pulse) seems to do the trick

Huh… the shipped openal.so failed to play nice with PipeWire. Chances are it also doesn't work on PulseAudio. It only offers default and Jack. I assume that's Alsa and Jack.

I removed `game/libs/libopenal.so.1` and now it picks up the system's lib and all is good:

ldd X4
[...]
libopenal.so.1 => /lib64/libopenal.so.1 (0x00007fe66d25c000)
[...]
