Oh, I assume a solution like Sunshine/Moonlight on Linux don’t provide what you need?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 day ago:
I am trying to give their programmers credit where I can; first, the massive influx of time and money into gaming on Linux has had obvious, amazing benefits. And my recent gripes would be about a persistent bug that has crept into Steam OS desktop mode; but it’s a one line shell script to fix, and they just moved to a much more recent kernel, not to mention officially tackling support for third party handheld PCs, so…yeah, that all sounds like a headache on crack.
But, honestly, I hear ya all the same. I think we feel confident holding these guys to a high standard for good reasons, so hopefully it all comes out in the wash.

Oh, definitely. One of the best things about Linux and the free software movement, innit? But, the ‘applications’ order in bottles is great for that one tool that is just hard to live without, or some specific tool created by the community that may or may not ever get a native port (SAK.exe for managing Switch ROM files comes to mind for me).
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 day ago:
There’s actually a number of options. Lutris and Bottles are both built on top of Wine. And there are other apps that use Wine to make it all work, but I’m not very familiar with anything else…yet!
Bottles can be a little tricky to get used to - one of the biggest issues is that it sandboxes the Wine runtime, so you’ll often need to move your .exe into the right file path. But, other than that I found it pretty easy to use! So if you need something that you can “drop in” to replace Lutris, it’s worth a try! It has some helpful preconfigured runtime environments, depending on if you are running a general propose application or a video game. For the power users, you can even start with a blank slate.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 days ago:
Up until recently, Lutris worked perfectly for me. Ever since around the release of Wine 11, though, cant get anything to even install, let alone play. This might explain my increasing frustration with the app.
Guess I’m going back to using Bottles for the odd game or app I don’t feel like trying to shoehorn into steam.

Personally, shit like this isn’t mildly infuriating. Makes my blood boil!

Not just suitors, I’m afraid. The vast majority of the women you will meet in your life have been the victim of some form of sexual harassment, if not outright assault or rape.
So, yeah, it’s disheartening but I totally agree with your perspective on this.

It scares me to think how many other guys around me are predators. And it absolutely infuriates me to think about how long society has normalized this type of behavior.
I don’t care how horny I am - that’s my own damn problem to solve. Period.

No. The entire premise is a stinking pile of dung, and always has been.
People do not choose to live in poverty. Like, seriously, this a classist myth that has never fucking been true. If people did, they could just choose to stop being poo!! But anybody with a functioning brain knows that billionaires choose for the workers to be destitute. So this entire “if you’re poor you shouldn’t [x]” needs to just fucking die already.

Complaining about athletes just makes it sound petty.
And your opening statement makes your entire post sound completely out of touch.

No. He’s a self absorbed con-man.
His “little” salute?! You’re fucking joking, right?? Nothing little about three full salutes at the President’s inauguration no less.
Finally, just some immature thing? You know what, why don’t you just grow a pair and admit where you’re allegiance truly lies. Cause if you tolerate Nazism, you’re part of the problem. Only you don’t seem to mind that at all. Do you?
- Comment on Gravity! 3 months ago:
This is one of my favorite summaries of just how ridiculous religion can become. Only thing I want to fund a way to add would a condemnation of monotheism. Seems that had a whole lot to do with how the concept of religion has become so corruptible. Instead of the point being the betterment of your own tribe it becomes about how every other tribe is less than you.

How about if you can’t follow a conversation, maybe stay out of it? Like, for real, I didn’t know that else to tell you.

And I was talking about the so-called legality of the situation. So, pretty clearly not referring to the headline…

You seem to be under some misconception regarding why actually wires our laws. Hint: they’re called lobbyists to get people to ignore the rampant bribery.

Umm, okay.
You’re advice was still terrible. And now you’re justifying it by making unkind and equally unfounded assumptions about the OP?
Whatever, dude.
- Comment on What is the best approach to port an iOS app to Android? 3 months ago:
This is an absolutely terrible idea first of all debugging code that you’re completely unfamiliar with is not easier than writing your own. The code you end up with is also likely to end up being very insecure with vulnerabilities exposing both you and your users.
When people actually crunch the numbers, vibe coding does not save time. So there is nothing to offset the massive drawbacks to this approach.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 3 months ago:
Oh for sure! My theory is because of that, she’ll go overboard immediately on any little thing she doesn’t feel in control of, more or less.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 3 months ago:
Your reply made me wonder: perhaps this is about more than the headphones? I’m not saying this justified her statement, but perhaps his mother feels like she isn’t being heard?

No kidding, right? Besides, we’ve all encountered games (or movies/shows) that basically sucked cause the developers were roped into something they just weren’t passionate about.

- Comment on Anon buys a car 5 months ago:
The word fraud is almost always used in a legal context, but technically it’s just the noun describing the act, while the word defraud is the verb designating the act of committing fraud.
But, I like your explanation, cause it’s stone and concise!
- Comment on Anon buys a car 5 months ago:
Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.
Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that’s saying something.
