No problem, I'll get it on the final sale before it gets delisted, should be fixed by then. ;-)

People who spend their lives dreaming of having their five minutes now got a tool that seemingly creates that opportunity for them and for a lack of better judgement, they jump at it. So sad for everyone involved.

Quoting: PenguinThis is one of the many reasons why I love Valve! While most other gaming companies are focusing on cutting-edge technology or chasing the next golden goose, Valve is investing in their community having FUN! And fun is all that should matter when it comes to gaming. Well played!

We all have fun once in a, while Google has android easter eggs and event based minigames, Microsoft has Pinball spaceCadet, [all these](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Easter_eggs_in_Microsoft_products), Meta had english(pirate), basically anyone has tried something with the Konami code and a rickroll.

I'm not sure why you would want to do this, but you can run a Linux Wayland Compositor inside Minecraft to get various external windows inside the game.

Of course, I doubt the answer to this question always is: "Because I can!"

Reminds me of USB... so many quirks needed because lots of devices operate outside the spec, because of ignorance at worst or leveraging edge cases for better results at best.

O Whoa, did not thing i will get to see the day when i have working "antilag" on my PC.
CS2 works out of the box with this thing. While installation requires console - its super easy.

Quoting: melkemindI'm afraid it might get even worse when the steam machine comes out and Microsoft views it as a direct competitor to the Xbox.

Other devs might support Linux more, but we can't rule out the possibility Microsoft will try some anticompetitive tactics with Forza and their other games.

At first I aslo thought microslop did some shenanigans in rendering code to make the game run worse on Linux, but I don't think it is the case. Most likely fh6 devs did some optimizations, that are just hard to reverse engineer and translate.

If microslop really wanted to prevent their games from running on Linux, they would just block it with some anticheat-like measure or straightly blocking it like genshin impact devs did.

the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable

AI tools are great... Feel free to use them...

🤔

Might want to read the rest too:

If you actually want to add value, read the documentation, create a patch too, and add some real value on *top* of what the AI did. Don't be the drive-by "send a random report with no real understanding" kind of person. Ok?

What he's asking for would restore sanity to the security list, which would take care of the contradiction you're pointing out. Although I'm pretty sure most of these people will just prompt their AI/LLM to produce a patch and send that to the list, without understanding the problem or the code. Maybe it'll at least reduce the amount of reports to a reasonable level.

Some imho very true and well said statements. Though I think it's still not AI, just very sophisticated software that's really really good at guessing words and giving a good impression of being smart. AI is just the buzz word for LLMs.
Nonetheless, these tools can be really helpful. Like with any other tools, you need to learn how to use them. They can code, if it's good code, you need to understand what it produced. Back then we needed to learn how to google, which search words gave the answers we were looking for. This hasn't changed, today we need to learn how to prompt. Fooling an LLM is easy and even funny the first time. It can give you the right answer though too, if you know how to ask it properly. And reading code is easier and faster than writing code by hand. So using these tools can be helpful, if done properly. They won't replace creatitvity or create ideas. At best they can reproduce or mix something existing differently together. It can be good and maybe even a starting point, yet it will always need real humans to decide if it's useful and good.

What's apparently happening now is... hey I (= my AI that I prompted) found something! Look at me, give me credits! Getting attenting for the low hanging fruits. It always works in the very beginning, and will be consolidated over time. New technology creates new challenges, eventually the benefits will emerge out of this.

A thought that came up reading about the sheer amount of reports incoming reports was... maybe they should use LLMs to sort out the duplicates 😆

The sorting problem should be solvable with boring old testing suites, with CVE-access.
The problem is keeping from using this to clog up maintainer mailboxes.
Linus's solution to that is to immediately publish AI reports.
My solution is to immediately publish all duplicate reports, because they all suffer from the same fundamental issue.
Also appealing to AI developers to create variation in hunting tactics, but I'm not enough of an AI-developer to know the achievability of such a request.

Yeah, although easily solvable with automation(automatically publish every duplicate and make an auto duplicate detector), mailing lists are in their nature pretty unautomated places.

Fro looks of it, from page in question - it works as reverse engineering and implementation of Nvidia anti lag. Which allows AMD and Intel to use anti lag in nvidia enabled game titles. THIS IS HILARIOUS.😆
Nvidia will not be happy about it and future evocations of this tech will break backward compatibility. I would bet my $ on it.

This is gamechanger.
Now we need to figure out how to use it :D
I wonder if this tech is game specific or agnostic. And no, I did not use windows or gaming for more than 15 years, so no i have no idea.

Can anyone try to run Legacy of Kain Defiance Remastered with this version?

In my case since 11.8 (and now 11.9 too), it's crashing on startup. Reverting to 11.7 works fine.

On the (GOG) deals page, if you select wishlist only, and there are no results, you get stuck with no way to turn that off, other than by changing the region. I assume that wasn't intentional / is a bug.

Quoting: DraconicroseI needed this 5 years ago :( rented the cheapest servers I could find just to play with one other person.

Setting up a local server with port forwarding was always an option, though. But when the connection itself isn't stable enough, or the PC isn't good enough, neither port forwarding or peer-to-peer can help.

Hmm... 🤔 Those touchpads could have OLED displays underneath, to show some eye expressions when things happen. 😆

You can still buy one, and throw it at stuff.

I've been having such a smooth time on my desktop, including hosting multiplayer for 3 others, that I absolutely forgot this is not a native game!

Quoting: The_Real_BittermanThere are people not using the official flatpak? Geez ...

It's actually news to me, I think last time I checked it still wasn't official, and it had a bunch of issues like shipping an old version of discord for months because the current one used a version of electron that broke something. And of course they had to use some weird hack to make an old version work with current servers.

Then it wasn't the official flat, yes. But it is official since a long time now. I bet there was even an article her on GoL abut it.

Yep, here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/10/discord-for-linux-gets-flathub-verified/ 3 years ago

It's verified but it's not official. Here: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/issues/343

Just because it's verified it doesn't mean that Discord is actually the ones developing/packaging it and, as a result, the flatpak has issues. There's a reason the flatpak isn't linked anywhere on the official discord website.

You clearly do not know how verifying work on flathub. You have to be the owner of the com.discord domain and add a link to the discord flathub page or at least the PR where you want it to be verified. So someone at discord has put up a link/token on their homepage to link to flathub. So yes it is developed by discord and therefore official. See: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/verification (or an authorised official 3rd party)

Therefore, what ever you've checked is just plain wrong. Just looking at the maintainers of the github repo doe not tell you anything.

Also the only thing flunky with the flat is that it can not sniff on your running process to show all your servers what your playing or which music you're listening too.

Unless an application specificity uses the discord RPC to tell discord it is running. App -> RPC -> Discord then Discord will show, also the flatpak. What is not working is Discord -> /dev/proc *Sniff, Sniff*

Please follow the link provided to see that it's not wrong. The flatpak is indeed verified by Discord, but it is not developed by them. The link is for a discussion where people are talking about how this has tripped them up, including with Discord support. A big part of the problem IS because apps can verify without actually being the developer.
