VR game streaming tool ALVR adds PipeWire support on Linux gamingonlinux.com/2024/07/vr-g…
While the Linux support of ALVR is still quite rough due to various issues with SteamVR, ALVR is a very promising way to stream VR games to your headset via Wi-Fi and a new release is out now with v20.9.1.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

#Linux #UX bugs like this are frustrating: starting a drag action pops the window forward, obscuring the target window. I'm using latest #Fedora but apparently this happens on nearly all DEs.
The smaller your display is (and the more nontechnical you are) the more likely you'll hit this. Apparently this has been known for a long time and no one cares to fix it? I'm just curious why.
"Not enough programmers" isn't a good excuse, this is a fairly easy fix. @cassidy Devs only use Terminal?
✅ Achievement unlocked - Got a minor credit in a CVE.

Booting Linux off of Google Drive
On the brink of insanity, my tattered mind unable to comprehend the twisted interplay of millennia of arcane programmer-time and the ragged screech of madness, I reached into the Mass and steeled myself to the ground lest I be pulled in, and found my magnum opus.
Booting Linux off of a Google Drive root.

That's not... You shouldn't... Why would...
Not sure if I've talked about this here, but there are like, tons of stuff here. I'm gonna try that Linux distro through Crostini on my old ChromeBook that I don't do anything else with anymore. The VM's over the Internet are really cool too! The AT Museum is cool. And I'm curious to see if the Windows 2000/XP on **Android** works. That'd be trippy.

Interesting 🤔 how #CVE are leveraged as resume items, putting #programmers #developers & project leads under pressure by #bogus CVE reports or unnecessary high CVE ratings.
Popular and obscure programs are affected in the #OpenSource #POSIX world e.g #Linux #freeBSD #netBSD #openBSD
#Curl ➰ by #Daniel #Stenberg and #IP by #Fedor #Indutny are popular programs hit by this #phenomena which can lead to unwarranted #panic in the users space

Last night i tested some apps with text to speech just out of curiosity. Just listening that the things it depict sound right at all.
I can't fully test things because i am not in a spot to do so, but this is something anyone can do really. Enable text to speech, click around your app, make sure that all fields, buttons, texts and things are described. Make also sure that you can use keyboard only to move around.
If you want to help with #Linux #accessibility this is something anyone could try to do and fix! It will not make things perfect necessarily but it really does help. You dont have to even write code, you can document things and then make a bug report!
I learned a lot from this @LateNightLinux podcast episode and i highly recommend anyone who makes apps and websites to listen it! Even if youre not on linux!

For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
EIGHT YEARS!
(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)
And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.
What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

The Fedora Quality Team is joining Week of Diversity with an Accessibility Test Week!
Much like other Test Days, the goal of this week is to put Fedora through its paces and catch as many accessibility related issues as we can for our disable users. If you want to put your advocacy to action, consider participating!
The Accessibility Test Week runs from Jun 19-25, starting tomorrow.

Two Silverblue systems here got hit by the secure boot signature bootloader bug on the upgrade that brought in a new kernel. Good thing there are rollbacks (to boot an older version) and a workaround.

I wrote a Dart package for speech-dispatcher, enabling TTS on Linux. It also works with Flutter for Linux. The package supports most features of speech-dispatcher, with additional support for less commonly used functionality like history coming soon. It still needs broader testing, so feel free to open any issues you encounter. My hope is that one of the TTS packages for Flutter will start using it to add Linux support, as most, if not all, currently don't support Linux.
You can find the package on GitHub at github.com/the-byte-bender/dar… and on pub.dev at pub.dev/packages/dart_speechd.

didn't know this before, and didn't have to because i haven't installed windows in the past 10 years. but for those who need to do this, this workaround should be known:
Thankfully, there remains another way to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. When you’re at the log-in screen, you can hit Shift + F10 and type OOBE/BYPASSNRO, which will let you create a local account instead if you do not have an internet connection (so disconnect the internet for this).
#computer #internet #instgallation #windows #windows11 #linux
a@a.com is redundant but Shift + F10 OOBE/BYPASSNRO comes to the rescue.
