• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not providing any argument, I’m just asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well sure, software gets forked and continued all the time, but there’s quite a stark difference between just using open source software or actively maintain it. Not everyone is a software developer, so I still don’t see why “just fork it” is the answer. Those who have the capabilities probably already thought of it no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear this argument a lot about many things but how is “just fork it” the answer? It’s not like just anyone can fork any project and continue developing it. The alternative would be forking it and consider it final version or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand porting costs money but they kept selling old games for new game prices.

  Any excess profit due to higher game prices will go to shareholders anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC, HDDs have some reserved sectors in case some go bad. But in practice, once you start having faulty sectors it’s usually a sign that the drive is dying and you should replace it ASAP.

  I think if you know drive topology you can technically create partitions on platter level, but I don’t really see a reason why you’d do it. If the drive is dying you need to resilver the entire drive’s content to a new disk anyway.

  Playing games it seems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But anti-cheat is mostly about false sense or security anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …But then in turn they’ll earn money with Steam sales, so they’ll be earning money.

  Ok, so preordering what promises to be a motorcycle but years later getting a bicycle instead that you happen to enjoy riding is also acceptable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a large part of the hate is because of the all exclusivity deals that they made at the time.

  They made a mod called vintagecraft before.

  So that’s why he worked at Blizzard for 7 years and keeps bringing it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but it doesn’t go out of date

  That’s not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)

  I thought we switched to libre for that definition and since then used free only as in free beer.

  Thanks for this. Just recently I was trying to remember what this program was called. I remember doing the egg plant tutorial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cannot get an even first layer with a voron trident⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess would be from one side of the x-axis to the other, because then on one side the nozzle to probe offset would be less in Z then on the other. But it could also be anywhere else. Can you check if your frame is square?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cannot get an even first layer with a voron trident⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you OP. I have a Hypercube Evo that I can’t for the life of me get a leveled bed with. I’ve swapped linear rails with MGN, switched to multiple probes including a beacon that I still need to install but probably won’t help seeing this post.

  I think your frame isn’t straight, there’s twist somewhere that combined with an offset from probe to nozzle means it’s impossible to remove with probing as the offset in Z between nozzle and probe changes over X and/or Y. That’s the only thing I can think of at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting minecraft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a server running without whitelist because a friend hadn’t bought the game yet, within 2 weeks it was griefed. It was just the two of us playing.

  There are crawler bots just searching for unprotected Minecraft servers and it’s just a matter of time before they find yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro games worth picking up on Android?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest thing is that you won’t know how long you will be able to play it. At some point they’ll stop updating the app, a new Android version will be released that’s not compatible with the app, or they will take down the server that the app relies on etc. It could be years, a decade, but at some point it’ll be either really hard or impossible to play anymore.

  Why would they even add Denuvo to a 30 year old game anyway…
