[Announcement] Secrets of the Atlas Second Boss Kill Event


Next Thursday, July 24th at 1 PM PDT, we'll be hosting an additional Boss Kill Event in Path of Exile where players can compete to kill the new Pinnacle Bosses from the Secrets of the Atlas expansion. The prize pool includes Godslayer's Pride microtransactions and the opportunity to collaborate with our devs to create new Unique Items and Divination Cards.

How to Join


The Boss Kill event will be held as an HC SSF Event League (SSF for Consoles) that is available to all players during the event by clicking "Join" in the bottom right corner of the character select screen. Registration opens 30 minutes before the event begins and everyone is welcome to participate!

Start time: July 24th at 1PM PDT or Jul 24, 2025 08:00 PM (GMT) in your local time. The event will last until all the prizes have been claimed.

Prizepool


Prizes will be awarded to the first ten players who kill all three of the new pinnacle bosses, called "The Incarnations" in their non-quest variations (Area level 84).

Prizes for Top Placings - PC

  • 1st: Design a Unique for new Pinnacle Boss: Incarnation of Dread or the future-released Uber variant of this Boss Fight & Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card + Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.
    The first place winner will also get some additional design space with their item if they want to do something a little different. For example, if you would like to design a Unique Map or if you would like to design a Unique Item that requires a unique-piece from each of the three Bosses, then needs to be combined to create something more epic, this is something we will allow, so feel free to stray from the norm! This is something our team will help provide more details on during collaboration.
  • 2nd: Design a Unique for new Pinnacle Boss: Incarnation of Neglect or the future-released Uber variant of this Boss Fight & Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card + Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.
  • 3rd: Design a Unique for new Pinnacle Boss: Incarnation of Fear or the future-released Uber variant of this Boss Fight & Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card + Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.
  • 4th-10th place: Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card + Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.

There is also a set of prizes for defeating bosses that were historically significant to Zana, who has returned in this expansion. Bonus prizes will be awarded to the first players to defeat Uber Sirus, Uber Uber Elder, Uber Shaper or Uber Cortex. There is also a bonus prize for defeating Catarina.

Bonus Prizes - PC

  • First Catarina Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from Catarina, you can even input on the custom Veiled Modifiers that will be able to be unveiled on this Unique.
  • First Uber Uber Elder Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from the Uber Elder or Uber Uber Elder.
  • First Uber Shaper Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from the Shaper or Uber Shaper.
  • First Uber Sirus Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from Sirus or Uber Sirus, The Awakener.
  • First Uber Cortex Kill: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from Cortex or Uber Cortex.


Consoles


The event will also be available on Consoles with separate prize pools from PC.

Prizes for Top Placings - (both Xbox and Playstation have separate prize pools)

  • 1st-3rd place: Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card + Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.
  • 4th-10th place: A Godslayer's Pride Microtransaction.


Additional Rules


  • A player can win both a Placing prize and one or more Bonus Prizes.
  • Winners of the first Boss Kill event can participate in the second one.
  • Players who migrate from a private league to Mercenaries HC SSF during the event are ineligible for prizes.
  • Placings and prize eligibility are entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
  • The prizes that consist of collaborating on the design of a Divination Card or Unique Item do not guarantee that the item will turn out exactly how you want. The design team will try to accommodate your suggestions as best as they can, but the final design is at their discretion. Because these Unique Items are likely to become chase content, it's critical that they fit the overall design vision of Path of Exile. The balance and drop chances of these items after their release is entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
  • While the event being SSF reduces a lot of scope for outside help, any form of account sharing (or other breaches of the Terms of Use) will disqualify a player from receiving prizes. Grinding Gear Games Employees (past or present) are not eligible for prizes.
  • Dying or migrating your character out of the league doesn't remove prize eligibility as long as the kill occurred while in the league.
  • Prizes cannot be transferred. Only the person who completed the achievements in the event can collaborate on the Unique Item and Divination Card designs. It's fine for these people to seek advice and help from other community members with their design.
  • Upon winning, if you take too long to engage in the collaborative design such that the content may have changed context or been removed from the game then you will lose your design opportunity or it will be moved to another Pinnacle Boss or equivalent at Grinding Gear Games' discretion. We will notify you in advance where possible of course!

Good luck in the event!



Volume control not working on USB audio device


The device in question is the USB dongle for my 2.4 GHz wireless headset. Everything works fine except for volume control, so it is stuck at max volume, regardless of where the volume slider in pavucontrol is. Volume controls within individual websites and programs work, but it seems that the system volume control is delegated to the USB device, which itself has no concept of volume control. This is the case with both pulseaudio and pipewire. Is there a way to limit the system-wide volume before it reaches the dongle?
in reply to just_another_person

Looking up the hardware id, it seems that someone else had the same issue: github.com/alsa-project/alsa-l…

If I'm understanding correctly, there's no proper driver for it in the kernel yet. My workaround for now is to use the limiter in pulseeffects.

Edit: If anyone wants to know, it does work flawlessly on Android, but I have no idea if the way Android handles USB audio is relevant to desktop Linux at all.

Good find, but it's not a kernel issue in this case. The device is recognized as "something", and outputs audio correctly, you just need to find out where it's getting it's audio from, and assign a control channel through Pipewire to control the sink volume. Should be pretty easy, but will require some digging and a quick bit of learning.

Better captive than dead: Qassam’s message to 'Israeli' soldiers in Gaza


The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released a new video message on Thursday directed at 'Israeli' soldiers operating in Gaza, urging them to surrender rather than face death in combat.

Published via the group's military media channel on Telegram, the video delivers a direct warning: "To the Israeli Nazi soldiers in Gaza, our fighters will inevitably reach you. If you choose not to fight and wish to save your life, do this: drop your weapon, raise your hands, and follow field instructions."

The message continues, emphasizing that captivity is a better alternative than death, assuring: "We promise to keep you alive and protect you until the nearest deal."



Keep display output when monitor "Disconnected"


I am using a laptop, with a cheaper monitor that only has one hdmi input. I have two devices that I want to use on this monitor, My laptop and my xbox series, so I got an hdmi switcher.

The xbox handles switching to and from it's input without a hitch, but my laptop can takes up to a minute to recognize the switch and display to the monitor, sometimes not recognizing it at all.

I was thinking that having the laptop continue to output the display whether or not it recognizes the monitor as disconnected would help make switching between them more seamless. Is there a way to achieve this?

I am using KDE and I have the "Do Nothing" option selected under close lid in power options.

in reply to TheMonkeyLord

You need a KVM with an EDID emulator. HDMI switcher just swaps output ports, while a KVM+EDID emulates device status.

In the last 24h you posted more than 20 times regurgitating Russian media sources. Being anti establishment doesn't mean nor prove they're saying the truth or they're right. You're not different from the people you label "brainwashed"

Of course friend, because there is already plenty of western "news" sources infesting Lemmy everywhere I look, I am just balancing things out a bit. Maybe you should try reading it sometime instead of just toeing the current western narratives on it
in reply to jackeroni

Balancing out by... Spreading misinformation. Great community work there buddy 👍

Yeppers! Just who exactly labels it as "misinformation"? Certainly not certain western "news" orgs that take directions from a certain empire!

So it's balanced when the sources are NYT, BBC, NPR, Cato, Rand, AP, Reuters, and WaPo, but throw Sputnik in there and suddenly there's misinformation? You might have a really broken sense of reality.

Merz calls for UK, Germany and France to align on migration and defence


Merz said the returns agreement signed by the UK and France last week should be expanded into a three-way pact with Germany to mount a more coordinated response to irregular migration. “The cooperation between the United Kingdom and France … has to be complemented by an agreement that we aim to achieve between the three of us: UK, Germany, France,” he said via a translator.

Merz’s call for a trilateral agreement comes as pressure grows from the far-right Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, where migration and defence spending have become politically volatile. Critics have accused his Christian Democratic Union party of lacking a clear alternative to populist rhetoric, even as Merz tries to position himself as a stabilising force in Europe.

European missile group MBDA selling parts for bombs that have killed children in Gaza


Europe’s largest missiles maker, MBDA, is selling key components for bombs that have been shipped in their thousands to Israel and used in multiple airstrikes where research indicates Palestinian children and other civilians were killed.

With concerns mounting about the extent to which European companies may be profiting from the devastation of Gaza, a Guardian investigation with the independent newsrooms Disclose and Follow the Money has examined the supply chain behind the GBU-39 bomb, and the ways in which it has been deployed during the conflict.

Ride-hailing giants’ electric promises are stalling worldwide


The biggest ride-hailing companies globally are struggling to keep their electric vehicle promises.

In 2020, Uber, the world’s largest ride-hailing company, set a target for all its rides and deliveries to be zero-emission by 2040. As of 2025, only a few hundred thousand out of its 7.1 million drivers have adopted green rides.

Grab, Southeast Asia’s biggest ride-hailing company, is targeting carbon neutrality by 2040. Last year, 7% of all Grab rides and deliveries used low- or zero-emission modes of transport, including electric and hybrid vehicles, cyclists, and walkers.

While Uber, Lyft, and Grab don’t disclose the precise number of EVs in their fleets, each platform has less than 1% EVs globally, research and advisory firm Gartner estimates.

“Even though we have seen immense growth in EV adoption by these companies, it is highly unlikely they will achieve 100% EV adoption in the next decade,” Shivani Palepu, transport tech analyst at Gartner, told Rest of World. Palepu expects the shift to electric to vary “drastically” by region.




‘Debt-ridden’ Eilat Port faces imminent shutdown due to Yemeni blockade


The southern Israeli port of Eilat is set to shut down completely in the coming days, due to massive debts and paralysis caused by Yemen’s pro-Palestine naval blockade on Israel.

The Israeli Ports and Shipping Authority said on 16 July that Eilat Port will suspend all its operations starting on 20 July.

Hebrew media reports described the situation as a “dramatic step” that could undermine Israeli maritime logistics in the Red Sea, and referred to the port as “debt ridden.”



what's the deal with flatpak's organic maps downloading the whole world all at once, not even offering the user an option to cancel it or to choose what maps to download? (debian 12.11)


debian 12.11, organic maps from flatpak.

My local organic maps started to download the whole world. Every single map it could find. I tried stopping it but the only way to achieve that is to turn the application off. On starting it again, it resumes downloading.

Why?

The android based version found on f-droid is easier to use. I wanted to use the desktop based one because I work from home more often than elsewhere.

in reply to merompetehla

Are you positive it's all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?

Also sidenote, look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps

in reply to sic_semper_tyrannis

Are you positive it’s all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?


yes, I'm sure. It started downloading every.single.country.

look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps


what's the difference? because graphics and functions look exactly the same for both apps, except the project's icon. Am I missing something?

in reply to merompetehla

Unfortunately I don't know how yo help with your original question then.

CoMaps is a recent fork because Organic Maps shows signs of corporate takeover and going against the principals of FOSS

Brandenburg is now the second German state that made it mandatory to recognise “Israel’s right to exist” to get citizenship


Article link. Translation:

Potsdam (dpa/bb) - The commitment to Israel's right to exist is a condition for naturalisation in Brandenburg. In addition to the commitment to the liberal-democratic basic order, “the recognition of the right to existence of the State of Israel has been a condition for naturalisation since the beginning of June this year,” said Interior Minister René Wilke in the . This is done in consultation with Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD).

The Minister of the Interior made it clear that it is not about the acceptance of all decisions by the Israeli government: “It is a commitment to the right of the State of Israel to exist, which is being made,” said Wilke. “It is not a commitment that everything any head of government in Israel will ever do and will also be solidarity and agreement.”

DoJ seeks single-day sentence for officer who fired into Breonna Taylor’s home


The US Department of Justice is recommending a one-day jail sentence and supervised release for the former police officer convicted of violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot in her bedroom by Louisville, Kentucky, police in March 2020.

Brett Hankison is set to be sentenced on Monday after being found guilty in November 2024 of one count of civil rights abuse for shooting into Taylor’s bedroom window, which was covered by blinds and a blackout curtain, during a narcotics raid on the wrong home.

He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, which justice department attorneys argued should be drastically reduced.

I was reading through threads looking for a solution to an alternate issue and I read one suggestion for freezing that seemed to work for some: reserve one core for system processes.
