linuxdweeb, to memes in Oh, you guys want my opinion? Well...

I met a family member’s kid once who would both narrate himself while playing Minecraft, and have full conversations with whatever youtuber he was watching on a second screen (who was also narrating himself playing Minecraft)

I also met an old lady with dementia once who would have full conversations and arguments with people on TV.

I’m not sure if this phenomenon has a name, but it’s something currently afflicting both the silent generation and generation alpha.

linuxdweeb, to piracy in GTA V source code has been leaked.

Python is the best language for tooling and systems stuff. It’s like bash, but good (and portable)

That explains the fur suits

linuxdweeb, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

That’s why you should never put people on a pedestal. There are a lot of people I admire, but I always try to imagine them being stupid assholes most of the time to balance things out in my head.

linuxdweeb, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

This is far from the first (or last) time he wrote something like this. This was just a regular thing in the kernel world for a long time (until Linus matured a little).

Whether or not it was a good thing is up for debate I think. Yeah, it’s very rude and unprofessional (and discourages new contributors who don’t want to risk getting chewed out), but considering the importance of the Linux kernel, it’s good to know the lead maintainer is doing too much of the right thing than not enough (i.e. being lax with bad code in order to be respectful). I’m fine knowing that a few tech workers got their egos smashed if it gives me confidence that the code powering civilization is high quality.

$2m is enough to pay for chemotherapy

It feels like blaming everything on capitalism is a Lemmy meme.

EDIT: smh look at all the capitalists smashing the downvote button as if it were a poor.

linuxdweeb, to linux in What is the state of Multiseat in Linux today?

It’s kind of romantic. Thinking of all the hoops they had to jump through to get this intimate setup just right brings a tear to my eye.

linuxdweeb, (edited ) to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

All single board computers have driver problems because they require custom kernel forks that can’t or don’t get mainlined for whatever reason (usually laziness), but Raspberry PI is actually the best when it comes to that stuff.

So when you buy an SBC, you need to ask yourself: will the company continue to develop/update/patch their custom kernel fork now that they shipped? Or will they just abandon it and move on to the next product? 9 times out of 9.01, it’s the latter.

Tell me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years without telling me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years

linuxdweeb, to piracy in I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

Oh shit, you’re actually a modder! Thanks for helping to keep these old games alive, and keep up the good work!!

I’m a sucker for nostalgia.

I don’t remember all the steps I had to do, but I do remember it being a pain in the ass. I downloaded the black edition from myabandonware.com and installed a widescreen mod (which messed up the UI since some elements were slightly offscreen, but it didn’t bother me).

Besides that, the only other annoyance was the controls. There are actually a lot of community layouts for this game, but the ones I ended up using were a pain when navigating the menus. You’ll definitely want to try a few.

FWIW, here are my current working launch settings for it:

  • Proton 8.0-4
  • Launch Options: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“dinput8=n,b” %command%

So I guess if you get past the installer, those should get it to launch.

Even Steam themselves say it sucks for preventing piracy:

The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not an anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.

Plus, it’s optional for devs.
