Every American who wants to stop this TRUMP/MAGA movement that has made its prime objective the annihilation of the existing government with a “hostile takeover” by attacking American rights and freedoms like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans, Voting, ignoring legal court orders and forcibly “disappearing” individuals, needs to flood their Republican Congressperson’s phone, email, or inbox with a message like the following:
The Sun is rising over Cerro Armazones in #Chile!
And so does ESO's ELT: with the structure of one of the dome’s sliding doors now fully installed, construction on the dome of the telescope has reached its highest point.
The occasion also marks over 60% completion of the ELT. It was celebrated today at ESO's Headquarters in Garching, Germany, as well as at the ELT construction site in Chile!

in reply to lps • • •At this point I've hit a bit of a wall, since I neither own any Xbox controllers nor do I use Steam (I use a PS5 dualsense controller with GOG games via Heroic Launcher) and I'm also on a different OS than you (Debian). Perhaps you should make a new post to get some attention:
"Can anyone help? I'm trying to get my #nacon #xbox pro compact #controller working on #Linux - more specifically #ZorinOS. Not lighting up when plugged in, not working with #Steam games. I'm on #kernel version 6.8"

in reply to lps • • •recognising usb devices doesn't mean much. The device needs to be supported by the kernel and then exposed as another type of thing with usual access methods OR the application needs to speak to the device directly using lower level USB access.
What kind of device is it?

also you can read the kernel log via `sudo dmesg`
or live read it via `sudo journalctl -kf` which will show newly connected devices
