It's a bit over the top, but I can understand the frustration. If a user has decided to opt out of using snap, and then tries to install an apt package for a piece of software, it's understandable that a dpkg that just "snea

Foreground or background I can agree with, but there's definitely a different level of trust involved if Riot wants to run something in the kernel instead of just userland.

IIRC the server isn't technically open source, but has been heavily reverse-engineered and, for customization purposes at least, might as well be. Most/all of the major extension/plugin frameworks are open source as well.

What's really weird about it to me is that games like Oblivion and Skyrim were doing sandboxy open world AIs with daily routines over a decade ago. That franchise also had more than its share of bugs, but the AI did more or less work.

There isn't exactly any truly "self playing" mode, but you can always set up a fortress and then just see how long it runs before falling apart. The dwarves all have their own needs that they'll try to deal with on thei

It is a ridiculous breach of trust to abuse an engineering test platform to push advertising software directly onto a users computer without consent.

As a fellow glasses-wearer I can say that I've had a good experience with the Valve Index, which lets me adjust the distance between the lenses and my face enough that my glasses fit comfortably. I've read that it's also poss

Hah, somehow I never once made that connection. "Flies like a banana" has been an old favorite, but out of context I just never picked up on this version despite many re-reads.

I felt almost the exact opposite, in that I think the concept was great but the execution fell a little bit short, mostly in build quality/button-feel. The biggest single win for me is replacing the right stick for camera control, as t

Valve has experience already with making m+kb games playable via a trackpad on the Steam Controller, so I'm confident that the trackpads on the Deck will be good enough for a decent chunk of games (though I'm not about to try Dota

At a prior job we actually little LED RGB light tabs that would stick on our monitors, and set them to red or green to indicate exactly this. Uptake and responses were somewhat mixed, but it was nice to have an explicit signal, beyond just

That culture goes both ways, and more on the companies in my opinion. Why would anyone stay more than a couple years when there's no path for advancement and raises don't remotely keep up with the market?

Same experience here, Netflix works without too much hassle, but Prime is limited to a much lower bitrate than on Windows. At one point I experimented a bit with making an addon myself, and it's possible to intercept the requests and s

When not given a file, cat will just read from stdin, so you can use "cat > file.c", write some text, and send EOF with ^D when you're done. Obviously, there's no way to go back and edit anything mid-stream, you have

Being heavily keyboard-first (or only) is one of the reasons I've tended to bounce off of tiling wms I've tried in the past, despite liking the concept generally. I tend to alternate between wanting to do everything from the keybo
