Life defiantly sucks sometimes. It gets better than it gets worse, then better again. Don’t let the bastards win! Keep pushing through, everything is temporary even your pain.

Jobs and the people in your life may come and go. Usually for the better, sometimes for the worse. Both are learning experiances.

I get it, it fucking sucks right now! Not just for you but for many, even me. You aren’t as alone as you think, at least in the life sucking department.

After almost half of a century on this earth I’ve learned. Keep kicking, always punch upward. Things will eventually get better.

It about time to switch things up. I dont know when I’ll get around to it. First I have to do some research to see if it is compatible to install alongside my current setup. I will defiantly let you know when I do though.

Are you talking about disabling PS5 controller touchpad in KDE settings or my computers touchpad? I dont see an option to disable PS5 touchpad in system settings.

So there is a common link, steam. If its not just happening on KDE and on other DE’s. Just looked at linux-steams github to see if this bug has been reported to steam, is this what you are seeing?

The problem with that is steam lets you configure per game. I have different keybindings depending on what game I’m playing. Not a bad suggestion to try though, would really help nail down whats partially causing the issue, steam input or the PS5 controller. Although as sp3tr4l pointed out there is probably an issue with how windowManagers are handling wayland security protocol’s, penquin said he is getting this on gnome too.

Interesting Extest sound promising. I’ll have to give it a shot, could be a temporary workaround for the next few years till kde fixes this lol.

This seems like the most complete reasoning for what is going on. Since waiting for kde to fix things takes years while the concentrate on pushing new features maybe it would be best to test Hyperland to see if it suffers from this issue. Since it is a security protocol in wayland and I saw a gnome user in this thread is also suffering from this issue it may be present in Hyperland as well.

Honestly I hope this doesn’t happen in Hyperland too as I’m really looking forward to trying it out, been missing i3 allot lately, and it might inspire me to get back to my coding projects I’ve been putting off for no good reason.

There seems to be allot of workarounds in this thread for me to go through and test.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!

Haven’t gotten around to replying to everyone yet, still drinking coffee, thinking about posting to the dullmensclub about saying fukit, I’m going back to bed.

I’ll have to give that a go. There have been lots of good suggestions and a wealth of information for me to sort and try.

So in the great albeit butchered words of GLaDOS, Since I’m going through all the trouble of waking up, I must really love to test… And to be honest I do!

I’m glad I works for you, personally I hate the cockeyed non symmetrical joystick button layout. Ergonomically uncomfortable. Also one it the reasons I never really play my switch any longer.

I do see that option to disable Desktop Layout under Edit, its the top most option. You don’t have that on the Deck? Maybe steam is set to always be in big picture mode on the Deck. I want one pretty bad.

Thanks for the tip, too late for a gaming session tonight. If I start now I’ll be up till 2. I’ll try it out tomorrow!

Yes but its not running.

I’m actually using a ps5 controller and have mapped the dpad left and right to use keyboard input for a mod. If I don’t use those buttons for 15 minutes or so I get kicked out of game with this garbage popup, every time! At his point I’m fed up and ready to leave KDE. Been using KDE for 6 years and have seen so many poor design decisions but you could always go into the settings and fix it. This I guess has no fix.

Their mistake is thinking that Schumer is the resistance.

I could really only find three or four games I even wanted that were exclusively on Nintendo. I could never justify buying anything else from Nintendo going forward after how shitty the companies policies are. Nintendo’s novelty has warn off.

I’m pretty sure what those websites want is not for you to add your alt text to the metadata of your image file but to give it when your uploading|linking to an image on their platform.

An example on lemmy:

![Here is some alt text](https://lemy.lol/image.png)

This way users of the social platform that might have a hard time seeing can have a description of the image you uploaded read out to them. Makes the social site more welcoming.

I don’t think those social platforms are going to even look at the metadata for anything other than testing if mime type matches dot extension. Although if they are invasively harvesting data they might try to collect location, device type and time data.

I think Ctrl + T will open a tab in dolphin window.
