@thelinuxexperiment Exciting news about Deckerd after all this time! I'd still buy it at that price assuming, as you said, that it could also be used as a stand alone headset for a desktop PC. I love the potential of VR (although previously overhyped) but just couldn't get myself excited over it's future run by Zuckerberg.

@grunge_fox @rail_ true, true...

#Valve are the mad lads here....

@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:

• REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!

As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.

• This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.

And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.

Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!

• Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice

Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.

• Cuz #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue!

And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!

ok specifically on my wife's PC, #LumaIsland had insanely bad audio crackling issue - and I learned that while people often praise #Valve's #Proton and the state of #Linux gaming in general, audio crackling is a common issue to the point that some consider it a feature lol.

I have encountered such issues on my PC, but quite rarely (only when under extreme loads, mostly bcos I rarely shut down my PC), presumably bcos my PC is considerably beefier. Pretty ironic that Linux is often touted as perfect for older hardware, and while that is still true, it's pretty funny that I suppose my wife's PC is considered "wimpy" for Linux (gaming) standards - namely, an #AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, #NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super GPU, and 32GB of DDR4 3600MHz CL18 RAM.

Reverting back to this issue, seeing that it's very reproducible on her PC to launch the game and immediately getting audio crackles on the launch screen, I managed to fix the crackling by creating the following config file:

# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/20-pulse-properties.conf
pulse.properties = {
    pulse.min.quantum      = 512/48000
}

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service pipewire-pulse.service wireplumber.service
