Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How does multi-player support fit into theStop Killing Games Initiative1·2 days agoYeah, it most likely isn’t an exe but a Linux binary! Other than that, you can probably run the server on your computer pretty easily. You probably won’t be able to host anywhere close to the number of players the official servers do, but that’s just a matter of stronger hardware.
So yeah, they don’t provide the server because they’re “evil”.
They could also do the bare minimum of patching the game so it allows any server and avoid stuff like certificate pinning etc. and then provide an OpenAPI specification for the server and let the community create their own server if they want.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Pricing announced for the Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld with Manjaro Linux [AMD Ryzen 7, 450$ and 550$English2·4 days agoOnly the $550 version. The cheaper one will work on best effort basis Manjaro edition.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta wins artificial intelligence copyright case in blow to authorsEnglish2·6 days agoThat’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.
Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Linux@programming.dev•I wish there was a right click install button for deb files4·6 days agoIt’s not any more secure. The point that “installing random debs is insecure” has been running around for at least the last 16 years I’ve been a Linux user.
While it’s technically true, AppImages are as secure as random debs. Same with random repositories that are not provided by your system. Same with flatpaks.
And unless you’re an extremely basic user, you’ll eventually have to install an application not in your repositories. The method doesn’t really matter, it’s all equally (in)secure.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Linux@programming.dev•I wish there was a right click install button for deb files2·6 days agoWell, NixOS is mostly for enthusiasts and it’s very much the opposite of beginner friendly.
The idea is that you configure your system in a configuration file, then run a command that makes your system match exactly what you configured.
So instead of
apt install
or similar you just add the package to your config, run a single command to rebuild the system and you’re done.Which also means you’re mostly on your own, most guides for other distros don’t work and the documentation on how to do the things in NixOS are very incomplete. It’s nice and fun, but definitely not for an average user.

Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI wins $200m contract with US military for ‘warfighting’English4·7 days agoThey still don’t. The analysts do and the programmers then implement it based on specifications.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI wins $200m contract with US military for ‘warfighting’English92·7 days agoDid you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn’t already require programmers?
It’s normal, at the beginning they’re just machines that transform milk into piss and shit. That will change, you’ll get your share of having to entertain your kid.
As for the breastfeeding, she has to persevere (if she wants to, that is), there’s nothing else to do. If you’ve checked that there are no physical issues preventing the breastfeeding, there’s literally no other way to make it a habit. This is new not only for the mother, but for the kid as well. No one likes changes, especially if it’s literally the first big change of your life. There’s some getting used to for all sides.
As for the anxiousness, I don’t think I’ve met a woman who thinks she’s doing okay during the first weeks. All of them were in fact doing very well, but reality and our perception of it don’t often go hand in hand. The hormone amounts doing stuff in her body right now are massive, she’s gonna be a little crazy for the first ~6 weeks. And your reassurances do help, just don’t expect miracles, she simply knows she’s doing it wrong.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?English1·9 days agoYes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.
And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.English1·9 days agoI know what people mean when they say it, just wanted people to know that it’s incorrect.
What kind of arrogance is that? I honestly don’t know. Or are you saying that using correct diagnosis doesn’t matter?
I honestly did not expect that kind of reaction, I thought I was just helping others learn. So yeah, my staying ignorant comment is very apt and not ironically arrogant.
And your “barely on the fringe of being technically correct” is ridiculous because I’m not only technically correct, sociopath simply isn’t a diagnosis. If you tell that word to a psychologist, they’ll internally roll their eyes, because that term doesn’t exist in psychology.
Well, in that case the Tarantula I recommended does have a Playstation layout.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Until recently, this guy thought all politician were corrupt, so he voted for the most corrupt of themEnglish611·9 days agoLol, yeah, if you strongly believe there will be elections, the wannabe dictator will peacefully step down.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?16·10 days agoI gave up on everything except Reddit in 2017 and gave up on Reddit with the api stuff going on.
So I guess I am that “hardcore”.

Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Programming@programming.dev•AI Models from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic Solve 0% of ‘Hard’ Coding Problems9·10 days agoI remember those times, too (well, some 99.9%, there are still the few issues I never found solution to).
But these times are long past, search engines suck nowadays.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Programming@programming.dev•AI Models from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic Solve 0% of ‘Hard’ Coding Problems7·10 days agoI mean, not the least important, it is an important part. But way less than a common person thinks.
Rikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldto Programming@programming.dev•AI Models from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic Solve 0% of ‘Hard’ Coding Problems3·10 days agoTrue, I use some local model by Jetbrains that only completes a single line and that’s my sweet spot, it usually guesses the line well and saves me some time without forcing me to read multiple lines of code I didn’t write.
Well, it sucks that now you have to choose one or the other, but if you’re on LAN mode already, this should be the fix you were waiting for.
Though I haven’t tested it personally.
