Two years?
Aw, fuck.
- Comment on Subnautica 2's first proper update is coming tomorrow, bringing in much needed creature behaviour changes and more 11 hours ago:
Damn… I’d really like to know when the game stabilizes and reaches its ‘final’ form.
Is it even really ‘complete’ yet?
- Comment on RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 engine 'OpenRCT2' adds auto detection of RCT2 and RCT1 Wine installs on Linux 1 day ago:
While good, this is only really useful in one very niche situation: You previously installed RCT2 (and maybe also RCT1) through Wine and you’re just now wanting to upgrade to OpenRCT2.
If you just want to play OpenRCT2, there are much easier ways. The game files don’t have to be installed in order for OpenRCT2 to use them. Just tell OpenRCT2 where the installer files or CD or CD image are, and it will handle it. No need to get Wine involved. (OpenRCT2 has a native Linux version.)
- Comment on Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected 4 days ago:
Better yet, if your work requires you to have Microsoft Authenticator, tell them that they need to provide you with a device capable of using it.
Instead of spending your own money on a burner phone just for that, make your work pay for it.
- Comment on Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected 4 days ago:
If your work requires you to have a Microsoft Authenticator-compatible device, they should provide you with one.
- Comment on Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected 4 days ago:
That’s not what ‘rooting’ means.
- Comment on Microsoft warns Authenticator now blocks rooted Android and jailbroken iOS, verify if you're affected 4 days ago:
Because, obviously, you can’t be a real person if you don’t let the corpos control your device.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 legal battle ends with reinstated CEO stepping down, as Krafton and Unknown Worlds founders agree settlement 6 days ago:
I’m glad this worked out in the end … but I’m afraid that if there’s ever a Subnautica 3, it’s going to be shit.
- Comment on "The 'AI Stigma' is real and severely punishes developers": A new study shows how much using AI in games hurts sales, and the numbers are hard to believe 1 week ago:
*The AI Stigma is real and severely punishes “”“developers”“”.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 1 week ago:
crypto games
I hadn’t heard of this until now, and I would like to continue not hearing about it.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 1 week ago:
and probably failing due to competition that does.
If the competition also has to disclose AI usage, then they’ll be equally disadvantaged by their own AI labels.
No – they’re worried about competition that doesn’t use AI.

You just killed 15 AI training bots that were scraping Lemmy for training material.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 is "good to go" on the Steam Deck for the Early Access launch 1 month ago:
I don’t suppose that means we’re getting a Linux native version?
- Comment on Microsoft Edge loads your passwords into memory in plaintext, but Microsoft says not to worry 1 month ago:
Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised.
Ah, so you’re perfectly find as long as your device is never compromised.
Don’t worry about the missing fire extinguisher bro, that’s only important if the building is already on fire.
- Comment on Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt 2 months ago:
Look, they took a big risk, and now that their gamble is going bad, they need a way to make sure that the working class pays the price for their mistake. After all, they deserve special treatment and bailouts because they’re risk takers.
- Comment on Windows Update gets new controls to reduce forced restarts 2 months ago:
Can you imagine having a mission-critical computer taken down by a broken MS update that you’re not allowed to say no to?
Some Linux distros may occasionally break things with an update, but at least they won’t make that update mandatory – you update when and if you want to.
- Comment on Windows Update gets new controls to reduce forced restarts 2 months ago:
They’re starting to get worried about Linux market share, and it shows.

Ah, just what we needed, more consolidation in the food industry.
Where the fuck are our anti-trust laws?
- Comment on Microsoft blocks registry trick that unlocked performance-boosting native NVMe driver on Windows 11 — workarounds still exist to enable support, however 3 months ago:
They’re trying to get you to move to Linux, but you just won’t take the hint, so now they have to try another thing…

Does the letter have a return address?
Could always use more free orphans for … various projects.
- Comment on Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next 3 months ago:
I am in no way qualified to be writing kernel modules!
Hm… Which means I’m perfectly qualified to work at EA! I should apply!
- Comment on Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next 3 months ago:
suddenly forcing changes into the linux kernel, the kernel that literally runs the entire internet, countless businesses, and governments
Of course that would never happen.
They’d just require some ‘EA anti-cheat’ kernel module to be present, or their game will refuse to run. So you’d have to install and activate that module in order to play their game. But there would be no need to modify any computer that doesn’t play their game … so as long as you’re not trying to play games on your internet server, the server is safe.
- Comment on Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next 3 months ago:
It’s an assumption that because they use the kernel in Windows that they’re going to do the same in Linux.
If they don’t, then it would be easy to do undetectable cheats using a Linux PC with kernel-level cheats.
- Comment on Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next 3 months ago:
I’m not so sure that kernel-level anticheat on Linux is really a good thing…
