I see. That’s not what “security by obscurity” means in my world, but I suppose that the words sound like they could. It’s not like I own the meaning of words, so it’s interesting to hear what it means to others.

In what way does “security by obscurity” apply here?

That is indeed the joke.

I was.

Maybe this was an intentional leak. Now the Nintendo lawyers can claim they’ve used stolen proprietary code?
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 2 months ago:
I suppose. If you are doing things against TOS and you suspect just might happen, by all means.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 2 months ago:
The license is with regards to “GOG Service”, not “GOG Contents”. You need the former to get access to the latter, sure. But what isn’t clear about this?
You still own the contents (though, as mentioned, individual titles may have additional blablabla). If you don’t think this distinction makes sense when it comes to GoG vs Steam, then maybe you’re just discussing something entirely different?

That’s for the gog service itself.
- Comment on Fields of Mistria is one of the most impressive games I've ever played 2 months ago:
What do you mean? Native Linux isn’t that relevant these days. Most games run well through Proton, and some even better than on Windows. Judging by the protondb entry, you wouldn’t notice on Linux that this was a windows game: www.protondb.com/app/2142790

Never thought about that angle. I don’t think I’ve dealt with this kind of manipulative behaviour myself, but I don’t doubt it.
It’s such a dangerous game to play, as the “requirements” don’t match reality. At least someone along that chain of communication doesn’t know something they should know about their job. The alternative of just being a negotiation tactic would make me consider ending the interview immediately.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Requiring 8 years of any particular tech is ridiculous in of itself. If you haven’t learned what there is to learn in 3 years, you won’t learn any more in the subsequent 5.
- Comment on Boeing proposes 30% wage hike to striking workers in its 'final' offer. 2 months ago:
On a global scale, corporations could double wages, reduce hours to 80%, and it would still only match the productivity output. Only compromise would be for very few people to be slightly less obscenely wealthy.
Keep this up, and more people will wonder if a few heads rolling is all that bad.

Anyone actually seasoned in martial arts will back this up. Exceptions to the his are trying to sell something.
- Comment on A European consumer watchdog wants you to be able to buy exactly as much in-game currency as you need, not fixed chunks 3 months ago:
Make it have to follow the same regulations as other currencies and banks. If it looks like currency, and functions like currency, maybe it should be considered currency.
- Comment on Classic Ubisoft: PS5 players to install an update and restart their save files from scratch due to game-breaking bugs 3 months ago:
There are so many good games being made these days. I don’t understand why people still reward bad practices.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
I tried Heroic Launcher. It’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
Thanks. I will try it out. I’m pretty sure it was Lutris I had tried previously, and it didn’t work very well. As for Epic, I’d rather not game, than have to run it, even through Wine.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
Though consider other suggestions like Heroic Launcher and Lutris. I cannot vouch for them, but there is certainly a better way than how I do it.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.
- Download all gog install files and place them in some folder.
- Add a non-steam game for the installer executable, with the corresponding working directory
- Run the “game”, with the proton compatibility mode enabled.
- After installing, change the entry from 1, to point to the game executable (you’ll have to search for it), and corresponding working directory.
When installing, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Run the update. Change the entry back.
I’m sure there are better ways to do this. So I’ll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn’t all that happy with it.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
If its available on both, GOG. Always. Even if the game was $15 om gog and $6 on steam.
I play them through steam with Proton. It’s tedious installing and adding the games, and updates are a similar manual process as installing them. But, I want to support DRM free software.
- Comment on what's a polite way to reject a picture with a very thankful patient who was under your care? 3 months ago:
I think it’s also perfectly reasonable to say the truth instead, and replace “professional ethics” with “personal”.
If they are appreciative of you, and don’t truly want to do whatever it is that makes you the most comfortable or happy, they should be exposed to a learning opportunity.
If they get offended. Maybe they eventually figure out that, just maybe, you shouldn’t express gratitude with selfishness.
Anyways. That’s ny two cents. Say it as it is.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 3 months ago:
Isn’t it called “rogue-like” because that last part of metaprogress was not in rogue? Maybe I’m confusing it with roguelite.
- Comment on GOG Summer Sale has arrived 5 months ago:
I’ve used both PS4 and Ps5 controllers. You don’t need to do anything except to plug it in.
I’ve only had issues in one game (Minishoot Adventures), where the solution was to disable controller support layer that steam comes with.
I haven’t tried Bluetooth, as I don’t mind the cable.
- Comment on A Tax of 5% on The World’s Multi-Millionaires and Billionaires Could Raise $1.7 trillion, Enough to Lift 2 Billion People out of Poverty 6 months ago:
What a weird defeatist thought. We’re already in lala-land with 5% tax added, albeit measly, on the ruling class. So, why not lala all the way to a positive use of it?

If they cannot report on things like this, you might wonder why they don’t report on important things like inequality, disappearing workers rights, etc, etc.

Thanks for explaining it! That’s it, right? I was wondering what tf it was trying to allude to as “quiet quitting”. This isn’t satire, then?

App mods work fine. It’s just sad that “making the best product to the user” has very obviously not been the priority for many many years.
You’d think these settings should be available to the user, right? Nope. This is from a modded version.
