Can't use Intel graphics acceleration in Android Studio AVD

Hi!

I'm having some problems using the Android Studio AVD on my laptop. Specifically, graphics do not render or appear glitchy. I've tried the following things:

  • Turned off the dGPU using envycontrol, which previously was an issue, but that didn't help
  • Fiddled with the AVD configuration, specifically:
    • Switching the graphics mode to Mesa, which results in yellow lines randomly being drawn
    • Switching the graphics mode to SwiftShader or software rendering results in nothing being drawn
    • Switching the graphics mode to Vulkan results in screen items becoming distorted as I scroll around

Any ideas on how to solve this? I'm on Sway.

Locale issues?

Hi!

I have some custom locale settings set:

LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en_GB:en
LC_TIME=ta_IN.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8

But it appears that Thunderbird is ignoring the date format settings and continually using US-style mm/dd/yyyy dates. Any way to fix this?

Errors in Tamil locale

Hi,

I found some issues with date formatting in the Tamil locale on Linux. Where could I submit an issue/PR about it? I tried looking for a repo or something, but couldn't find any.

Need help converting a disc save to digital

Hi!

I have a Minecraft save from a disc version. I borrowed a disc to test out the game before buying it digitally, but it seems the save is tied to the disc version and I can't load it in the PSN version? I tried copying the save file to my computer via a USB and using Bruteforce SaveData to change the save game ID from BLUS31426 (Minecraft, US disc) to NPUB31419 (Minecraft, US digital), but the console refuses to accept it even after this, continuing to show "BLUS31426".

Any help would be appreciated!

Singular they equivalent in Tamil?

Hi!

I‘ve been searching for this for quite a while. Is there a singular they equivalent in Tamil to refer to people of unspecified or nonbinary gender? I’m aware that I could use “அவர்”, which in சுத்தத்தமிழ் doesn’t specify gender, but in colloquial Tamil (the variety I speak at least), அவர் implies a man. I’m aware of அவர்கள்/அவங்க, but that appears to be colloquial only and not a full solution (and implies a woman from what I can tell).
