Most Mastodon groups are about Mastodon, Fediverse and the drama accompanying both.

Well, there goes the Fediverse.

I usually have good answers with only minimal bullshit when it comes to coding. If not, it at least points me in the right direction.

Sure, that’s why a good service doesn’t create an environment which supports people being dicks. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what SO does with the way it works.

Perhaps it’s because football is the biggest sport internationally, but football attract the worst kind of fans.

Once again proving that football fans are the lowest form of organism on this planet.

I don’t remember exactly how, but I did the same thing for my streaming gaming laptop. I had to put my unencrypted password in the registry somewhere, but it’s been a few years, I don’t remember where I put it. But perhaps this piece of information will help.

Yeah, I’ve thought about that as well. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna miss Stack Overflow specifically. Perhaps something better replaces it when AI gets poisoned by its own output too much.

I’ve been on SO like ten times altogether since ChatGPT came out. It’s so much nicer than the condescending pricks of Stack Overflow. My favourite is when some genius links a question as a duplicate of something that’s vaguely similar.

cat ~/.ssh/* perhaps?

I use ssh regularly, I just use a different key for each server. And thus I don’t use the default name (id_rsa) because it doesn’t make sense.

Here you go!

~ $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa
cat: /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory
~ $ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
cat: /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.ssh/id_ed25519: No such file or directory

I mean, you have to be a psychopath to amass this kind of wealth.

And being a psychopath is (usually) a defense mechanism against a trauma severe enough that being a psychopath is necessary to not go mad.

So no, psychopaths don’t feel good most of the time, they’re severely broken to the point that they’re not a fully developed personality (being a psychopath is officially called a personality disorder).

Note that a personality disorder isn’t a yes/no checkbox, but more of a spectrum. For example, being slightly histrionic is very common among actors, but it doesn’t mean they’d murder you for fun.

and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life

Seriously doubt that. Those kinds of people don’t sleep well.

Stop trying to make web3 happen, it’s not gonna happen. Seriously, the name isn’t even gonna get reused for something normal because people would think it’s related to all the crypto insanity. We’re gonna go from web 2.0 straight to web 4.

Oh yeah, let’s wait until they start murdering people to maybe take some action.

The cracks, they don’t remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version. That’s simply a technical fact.

Going by that logic, there’s simply no way that Denuvo does not hinder performance.

RPS: The study you mention showed that having Denuvo software improves revenues at launch, but also showed that a certain point after release - I think it was around three months - it evens out. Do you think publishers should have a policy of eventually removing Denuvo and making that clear to players in their marketing?

Andreas Ullmann: That’s the only point of the study where I’m not totally agreeing.

Well, who would have thunk!

A number of games on GOG have DRM now

Not single-player ones. Online multi-player itself is kind of a DRM and there really is no way to make it otherwise. Not for a company of GOG size, anyway. And I’d argue that even if Steam made some forced open-server requirement, they would be abandoned fairly quickly.

They’ve also said they’d work on Linux support and that they’d open source Galaxy, but never did.

As I said, not because the company is the best, but because you have access to the game files and can do whatever. I’m under no illusion that they are perfect, but IMO the no-DRM-installers are the single most consumer-friendly move any game store has done. And no one forces them to.

True, forgot about that. Anyway, if you want a truly pro-consumer gaming, go to GOG. Not because the company is the best in the world, but because you buy the game, get the game files and you can do whatever with them (not in the legal sense, but who cares).
