Thank you for saving me the click. 🤝

You can keep your kernel-level shit off my CPU.

Spend money on servers. Verify your players. I don’t care how you do it, but you don’t get kernel-level access to my machine because some asshole script kiddies are aimbotting. You can never trust the client. This is basic shit that game devs will make up a whole host of bullshit to try to justify. (FWIW: I spent a solid decade as a professional game dev and I was as disappointed in this horseshit then as I am now. At least players are starting to figure it out now, too.)

Understood, and forgive the follow-on, it will be my last here. I landed in this thread from /all. I am not sure if there is some way to exclude your own community from the feed, but maybe that would be worth discussing with the devs to avoid this kind of situation. Having given the feedback I wanted, hope y’all have fun!

Edit for just another couple technical suggestions in the hopes they’re at all helpful to align everyone’s interests: members-only commenting, or a way to show a specific warning before posting/commenting/participating in a community if the community configures it.

I am only one data point but I am a man and I much prefer no makeup.

Not a “natural look,” it’s not a skill issue for women applying their makeup as much as I see that explanation offered.

I prefer no makeup.

You can wear makeup, that’s fine (and my wife does, for her) but I am allowed to prefer her with no make-up.

What is truly disappointing for me is how I don’t think she believes me even to this day.

🤷‍♂️

Life is weird.

You are ignoring people who have walked this path and are giving you the advice right now.

Public file hosting is not where you start.

We shouldn’t be growing almonds in a desert and yet you hold that up as a defense for AI.

🤷‍♂️

Correct, I did not watch the video because the first premise the video offered is untrue. I don’t mean to poo-poo you sharing Linux stuff, and if this video gets more people onto Linux, great.

But like I said, it is not for those of us who have been here for a very long time screaming about how important it is to control your OS if you want to own your computer.

Windows NEVER meant freedom.

Noped out right away.

Not the video for those of us who have been around for long enough to remember all the shit MS pulled trying to kill Linux off.

Hello. Thank you for typing this so that I didn’t.

Old programmers shouting at clouds.

(Old programmer here, I just shout at differently shaped clouds than this one.)

Edit: I am not sure if the respondents to this comment think I have a horse in this race. I said I don’t and that I shout at different clouds. I am just here answering a question.

🤝

I console.dir and debugger; and breakpoint all day. You are allowed to mix your strategies.

this.

You people still believe them that they don’t believe this stuff.

They keep showing us all exactly how depraved they are and we keep writing these dumb posts.

THEY WANT POWER, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG.

My brother in programming,

please don’t use AI for data format conversion when deterministic energy efficient means are readily available.

• an old man.

Someone who gets the fucking context.

The fact they aren’t replacing him is perfection.

Was there no easy way for the developer to block a random asshole?

🤝

So it is people running beta software at the kernel level?

Edit: I am not trying to be elitist - why would messing with X11 cause your system to be bricked? Come up in run level 3 and fix your issue in the terminal… ?

Hey, as an old school linux guy, I am always curious:

How the fuck do y’all seem to manage to fuck Linux up so bad that you seem to be so scared of bricking your systems?

I mean, really. I see this complaint all the time. And in 25+ years of Linux, I can think of maybe once or twice where I meased something up with dd way back in the day when that was the only tool.for certain jobs.

How are y’all managing to mess yourselves up?

I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other regarding Flatpak. I am just trying to understand why everyone seems so deathly afraid their linux systems will break when I have literally had way more windows systems just randomly do that to me over the years. How is your lived experience so radically different than mine?
