Does anyone using Niri have issues with the Battle.net launcher? I can get it running ok through Steam, but I wanted to get it running with gamescope to solve some layout issues. Steam, Lutris and Bottles all seem to get this crazy flickering issue when I try running it in gamescope.

I’m trying to resist the siren song of leftovers.

I don’t cook very often but I tried Rib Roast this year. I followed Alton Brown’s recipe and it killed. Maybe I should cook more often. 🤔

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄

If you don’t, I hope you are at least enjoying a couple days of peace from work and annoying Christmas people.

It's funny how quickly scraping entire websites can be called illegal when you are a giant corporation going after the little guys. 🙄

"Spotify has identified and disabled the nefarious user accounts that engaged in unlawful scraping. We’ve implemented new safeguards for these types of […]

All the computers and other tech in my house, and my AirPods Pro still feel the most futuristic.

There is something unreal about squeezing the stem and having the sound of a vacuum cleaner just fade away.

The problem with #matrix is discoverability. The built in search tools don't really show me any cool communities to check out. Is there a good Matrix registry somewhere?

Figuring out how to get Steam game streaming to work without having my monitor on and screen unlocked is my white whale.. It seems every solution I find is outdated or for another distro.

I am trying to setup Niri on NixOS and hitting a snag with Vivaldi.

I am getting decryption errors so I think something is wrong with my desktop session. I want to be able to swap between plasma and niri, Is there something I need to set up to make this work?
