@marsik Wow! That’s really cool and thank you for the info and sharing your code under GPL.
I tried to search Github prior making my article, but with the keyword ACK05 ; I see you use ACT05, do you think it is a slightly different device?

I’ll test and note to update my article and include your user space remapping software. 👍

@[email protected] Oh yes, I have this one https://www.davidrevoy.com/article989/how-to-customise-a-usb-numeric-keypad-under-gnulinux , and also a 8bit do zero gamepad (mini).
But I just saw this Xppen ACK05 was now the default with all newer XpPen tablet and started to think it should probably get a better support. A fun rabbit hole 🐰

@overbyte I guess you are using the proprietary driver when you say “crashing drivers”; if you combine that with Wayland and possibly some Snap Ubuntu in the mix I can indeed imagine the crap fest. 🤔

All I can propose is what I wrote about my distro of choice: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1030/debian-12-kde-plasma-2024-install-guide , and https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1004/xppen-artist-pro-16-gen-2-review-on-gnulinux about how to configure the Artist 16 Pro with only Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Here this mix is really solid and stable.

@[email protected] 😊 Thank you. Well, I have so far workaround for the 16 Artist Pro (gen2) and the 24 Pro ( https://www.davidrevoy.com/index.php?tag/hardware ), all other model of this brand is still a bit in the unknown.
I decided to accept a review for their 19 Artist Pro, deadline: mid November (I still haven’t got it). So, I hope this model will have the same circuit board than the 16 Artist Pro (gen2) and I’ll can just copy paste my method and adjust some variable here and there. 😆

@[email protected] Hey, yes, I’m still on X11, KDE Debian 12. (due to Krita not being designed for Wayland and buggy under XWayland, issues with color management, and tablet configuration).

Udev is also part of Wayland, afaik, so it should also work there ™ (but untested here)

@[email protected] Oh yes, my feeling also about it.

@[email protected] You can follow the link in the ref and read comments: it’s about a leadership decision of Mozilla to close their Mastodon instance. They do this while they invest a lot on AI.
In short, it’s Mozilla governance that is going more and more full speed into a “capitalism tech bro” mindset, at the cost of a more and more visible departure of the Free/Libre software community. A decision that I qualify of them being clowns, now. And I parody the meme https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup for that.

@[email protected] I sincerly feel sorry to read it. I hope you’ll forgive me for haven’t been able to anticipate this particular side effect for the audience not knowing the original meme, or not clicking on the ref. 😔

I really thought it would be read just as a tiny joke in front of a news I had hard time to cope (something that happens too often with Mozilla).

@[email protected] I feel sorry in advance if another meaning than “Mozilla leadership once again are making clown things” can be interpreted from this drawing.

If it is hurting a community. That’s not my intention at all with this comic.

Also, if it has something to do with the makeup symbols or the colors of the hair, it is just inspired/inherited from the original meme (src: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup ).

Thank you for pointing it, I hope my answer will participate to disambiguate anything wrong.

@nantucketebooks @[email protected] @krita @[email protected] @NylaWoethief @DiosYubi Hey, hello to them! 👍

@Zeus Thanks! I can see it 😺 Federation is magic. 😍

@hitstun @Zeus :blobcatheart: Thanks, and I received the message on my Mastodon notifications so I guess the federation of Lemm.ee and my Framapiaf instance is now working 🙂 First time I see I can reply this way to a lemmy instance. Thanks for poking me, for your nice words, and for the featuring of my artwork.

About the Chrome logo and idea of a portal; I think I wanted more to make an effect of a large data vacuum. Like a giant robotic harvester no one could stop.
