• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD CPU Transient Scheduler Attacks security flaw revealed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mitigation for TSA requires a combination of new microcode patches for affected systems as well as updates to OS and hypervisors.

  So watch for OS and microcode updates addressing these:

  • CVE-2024-36350

  Another Lutris advantage: it doesn’t come with all that Electron bloat.

  I’m glad they mentioned Minigalaxy, which looks simpler than Lutris and lighter than Heroic.

  A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since Wine 9.0, you can run 32-bit windows apps on 64-bits directly, without the need for 32bits distro support. It’s called WoW64.

  You can in some cases, but not all.

  There are two forms of WoW64. Old WoW64 uses 32-bit libraries.

  New WoW64 (introduced in Wine 9.0) works without 32-bit libraries, but is still incomplete. It cannot yet replace old WoW64 everywhere, and even where it can, it reduces performance in some APIs. (For example, OpenGL.)

  It will eventually make sense to drop the old one, but doing so now would be premature.

  I don’t understand. Boxes are physical.

  You can buy a boxed copy?

  I used to like Klei games. Too bad they sold out to Tencent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I browsed the Steam reviews yesterday, most of the negative ones were about a new license agreement with onerous terms, and spyware. Those seem like good reasons for bad reviews, IMHO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Invisible Inc spiritual successor Cyber Knights: Flashpoint has released from early access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. Invisible, Inc. was fun, but I stopped playing it when the developer sold the company (along with access to our data) to Tencent.

  This new game is from Trese Brothers, an independent studio. I might have to give it a try.

  Looks like it’s standard TOTP. Nice.
