Single player is, but multiplayer is not at all, so the unplayable stays.

After 4 I’m pretty sure it is.

There’s dozens of free open source apps that do this already. Why would I want to lock into a what appears to be proprietary (and probably vibe coded soon to be abandoned) project?

Its like they are trying everything they can to prevent me from giving them money.

I’m really tired of this “argument”. Yeah I don’t get it, I won’t buy any of the shark cards or anything, but people are happily buying them. For whatever reason they happily pay, and that money funds the massive single player worlds I enjoy and love. There is no way that RDR2 would have happened without the income from GTA5.

I say thank you to the people buying them. I won’t, I don’t like them, but because of them I get awesome games.

Trying to decide if this is hipster or gatekeeping. Or both.

I’ve been doing that, I use kubernetes, so kagent. Sammy at first but it calmed down. It’s neat to have it auto triage something that went down or failed, parse the logs, look at the hardware and health and then tell me when it’s time.

GPUs are sparse but I run on a 3090, VRAM is king. If you have one for a server it’s not horrible to spin up an llm

Yes and no. I use llama server to run my own local models, and then open ice to monitor it. From there a lot of open source services host MCP servers which then can help integrate. I then use it to auto write the documentation on the layout so next time when I say “go to the ZigBee controller and tell me…” It knows first go to the docs, it remembers where it is and any useful commands, then continues on.

There’s something very wrong about a community run project that is bought by a company for profit. SteamDB would be nothing with contributions from us.

I keep seeing pointless engine upgrades and version bumps to dependencies. Every engineer knows at some point you have to draw a line in the sand

Who’s finally controllers patched in DAI! I’ve has to fix that manually for years!

Yeah anytime I see code that I use that interacts with a third party I mirror it to be safe. Repos are small. Especially if the third party isn’t a tech company, like most home assistant things. They are incredibly hostile and letigous against open source projects that have the audacity to make their products better.

always remember to clone/mirror repositories in other places folks. Lawyers got onto Github and Github happily takes things down unless all of the internet comes to push back. Mirror your favorite projects to codeberg, forgejo, gitea, wherever. You never know when someone will be forced to take that project you love down.

It’s a mod

It seems obvious to me. Why would you want to tie your economy to such a volatile dependency?

Well you seem fun to talk to. I like how you assumed a lot about me from one comment.

A nation gets left behind. The rest of the world is moving forward, we’re clinging to our 1940s fuel for some reason.

Good bot. Picked up all of Deus Ex for $12 bucks. Been working on getting my Drop instance working so this is perfect

Yeah, I’m hopeful that changes. I know big projects require stronger leadership, but watching the comments on things made me feel like smaller OSS devs were like me and felt discouraged from helping out.

Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.

My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.

So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.

That was the only thing I was excited for. When I heard it was live service o ly I just assumed that they didn’t want my money, elsewhere why would they make it?

Best “it just works” solution I’ve found. So many others are just weird scripts around yt-dlp, and this kind of is too, but the most maintained and supported.

What a painfully stupid article to write

We’ve seen your feedback since launch, and we’re reading all of it

Oh well, thank god they read it. Here that everyone, call it off, they read the feedback

Hell I would buy physical copies from retail stores if they still let me, but they’ve decided that they don’t want to anymore. The GoG. Then Steam after that.

Exactly this. People here mass downvote but I personally find AI to be extremely useful… To do things I already know how to do but don’t have the time for. I don’t trust it to do things I can’t spot the errors in

I also bought Plex lifetime pass also for $100 and I am getting ads like this.

Feel free to go read the multiple writeups from the maintainers that go over each one, we don’t need to copy them all here into the comments for you.

Except they’re spamming to users that they need this subscription even when they host locally or already have a membership.
