I used it in the beginning for this early adopter price to be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on my 15 year old PC. It was great but I canceled because of hardware upgrades since then. Apparently, just in time before the inevitable enshittification.

Cleaning up files upon uninstall - Your uninstall script should already be cleaning up any files created or modified by your install process. However, we know that some older games may not fully remove files upon uninstall, and it isn’t possible to update the game any longer. Players need to know if any anti-cheat utilities have left files behind, especially those that modify OS kernel files.
This section alone shows how stupid kernel level anti-cheat is. Play a game and gain a persistent security risk. It’s actually a feature that such games don’t run on Linux.
Dangerous attitude when it comes to itsec.
Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.
As if filling meme templates was art. Hardly any artist would make exclusive shitpost content, so AI doesn’t replace anything here.
Yeah, it became a habit for me, so I only forget it when I’m going to sleep drunk.
That’s the main point I never understood about his voters. His political agenda and your political affiliation don’t even matter. All you have to understand is that everything he does is for his own benefit. Nobody wants an egoist in charge in a smaller setting - why the fuck elect one as president?
Going back? What does that mean? Why would I switch distros on Win 10 EOL?
Android has a good one that’s simply called “Sleep”. They track your movement and try to estimate light sleep in a set period before your actual wake time.
It worked pretty good in the past (not perfectly of course) but I’ve been waking close to my wakeup time for years now, so I just use it for tracking.
Don’t say AI when you mean AGI.
By definition AI (artificial intelligence) is any algorithm by which a computer system automatically adapts to and learns from its input. That definition also covers conventional algorithms that aren’t even based on neural nets. Machine learning is a subset of that.
AGI (artifical general intelligence) is the thing you see in movies, people project into their LLM responses and what’s driving this bubble. It is the final goal, and means a system being able to perform everything a human can on at least human level. Pretty much all the actual experts agree we’re a far shot from such a system.
I’m sure they’re doing all they can already.
If you go back to my example, you’ll notice there is a
UserUniqueValidator, which is meant to check for existence of a user.
Oops, right, I just glanced over the code and obviously missed the text and code had different class names. Another smell in my opinion, choosing class names that only differ in the middle. Easily missed and confusion caused.
I don’t think our opinions are too far off though. You’re just scaling the validation logic to realistic levels and I warn that in practice coders extrapolate too quickly and too often, which results in too much generic code which is naturally harder to understand and maintain than specific code.
I would argue that the validate routines be their own classes; ie
UserInputValidator,UserPasswordValidator, etc.
I wouldn’t. Not from this example anyway. YAGNI is an important paradigm and introducing plenty of classes upfront to implement trivial checks is overengineering typical for Java and the reason I don’t like it.
Edit: Your naming convention isn’t the best either. I’d expect UserInputValidator to validate user input, maybe sanitize it for a database query, but not necessarily an existence check as in the example.

Millennials grew up alongside modern computing (meaning the two matured together). We dealt with everything from BASIC on a C64 to DOS and then through Windows 3 through current. We also grew up alongside Linux
Only the oldest millenials did. When the youngest were born, the internet and Windows 95 were readily available and they were in middle school when the iPhone came out.
My farts in a sealed bucket are extremely limited and yet I haven’t found a single buyer.
4% of gross revenue is not a negligible amount. For no company.
Well, once the AI hype calms down and people realize the current approach won’t lead to actual intelligence or “The Singularity”, there may be quite some nuclear plants left over. That or they will be used to mine shitcoins.
Kinda. It’s basically a love child between server hosting and streaming services with focus on gaming.
You can connect your Steam account, for example, and then run games on their hardware which is streamed to you by browser. So you have control which games to run into but have to bring your own.
Payment options include more powerful hardware but even the basic one was great when I used it. So I could play a modern game with raytracing on my old potato. Your machine just needs to be able to easily stream stuff, so run a modern browser without sweating.
On the offside, it’s naturally always online and I had latency problems when many players were online which was common on weekends and what got me to upgrade my setup eventually.
