Had actually never heard of the original, it had somehow managed to slip past me, but damn that looks fun!

Steam Beta adds new shortcut key to save a clip of recent gameplay

Quoting: scaine
Quoting: CloversheenNeat, now if only it correctly read the keyboard input when trying to set a shortcut, apparently F12 is the same as [ and F11 is Z...
I guess you can set it to whatever you need. I use CTRL-PAGEUP for marking, and CTRL-PAGEDOWN for capture. I just don't use it very often though (see my Microphone comment above), so I don't know other keys are matching that combination and triggering.

If I try to set it to Ctrl-PageDown by pressing the keybinding in the box it enters it as Ctrl+' :dizzy:

Ooooh, we got this notion
That we'd quite like to sail the ocean
So we're buildin' a big boat to leave here for good.

We're not keen on sinkin'
So we're all sittin' here and thinkin'
Cos we built it too big and we've run out of wood.

Eidle eidle eee
Eidle eidle eee
We simply can't leave til we get some more wood.

Oooh, we're note keen on sinkin'
so that's why we're sittin' thinkin'
cos we simply can't leave til we get some more wood.

Mesa 24.2.0 released with a new shader cache implementation
15 Aug 2024 at 9:30 pm UTC

Quoting: JarmerThey recently downgraded Mesa from 24.1.4 to 24.1.3 so now my entire system wants to do a downgrade whenever I run the update utility (which on a rolling distro is often!) - does anyone by chance know why this happened? I have been looking but can't find any info anywhere!! Maybe due to instability? Just not sure.

Last time I did a downgrade like this with an important section of my system I had to roll the entire thing back so I'm hesitant.
It's because of dependencies, unfortunately Mesa includes not just the drivers themselves but also the interfaces, so a lot of apps are packages with a link to a specific Mesa in the main repos so they pull in a vendor change to get the version they expect.

One way around it is to configure it to prevent vendor changing away from Packman, but I don't remember how to do that. Then updates from openSUSE just won't be able to be installed and should just remain in the queue until Mesa is updated in the main repos.

Quoting: JarmerI'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed, so I use the Packman repos for all things media related due to the dumb copyright codec crap that plagues so many distros.
Worse, it's not copyright but patent crap... :sick:

Nexus Mods new cross-platform app adds experimental Cyberpunk 2077 support

It's cool and all. I would check it out and do some testing, but it is just too limited on games atm. I don't even own Cyberpunk... Now if they would give me that, I wouldn't mind.. but yeah.

Stuff happens, and it is really nice to see a quick response in which:
- Jorge owns up to doing a mistake.
- Provides a resolution.
- Reinforces the current process to avoid it in the future.
- Thanks the rest of the rest of the team.
- Apologizes to the user, and recognizes this erodes trust.

Jorge is a good guy and a responsible leader, please give him another chance. :smile:
