  • Bazzite just delivered over a petabyte of ISOs in a single month

    Jump

  • I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.

    Why?

  • SteamOS Beta debuts display-off downloads.

  • 50/50

  • Amber the programming language compiled to Bash, 0.5.1 release

    Jump

  • When do you need a newer or older version of Bash to target? I mean usually this is not a thing to concern about.

  • There Are Tons Of New Steam Deck Startup Videos Based on Games, And Hades 2's Video is Incredible

    Jump

  • Sure, I would understand it if its longer text.

  • While I agree its not adding anything, I don't get why one gets upset about titlecase for blog post titles. I mean its not like something making it less readable or less indexable or anything like that. So why even ask to stop doing it? Or does it do any harm I'm not aware off (even if its for readable reasons in your opinion). I personally prefer normal case for titles as well, but that is just a preference of mine, not because I see any benefit in doing so.

  • Duplication Isn’t Always an Anti-Pattern

    Jump

  • I was there too doing lot of generalized functions that do everything. And I always hated the code. I am just hobby commandline guy, but even that is horrifying code. Doing this in complex code bases with real world impact is just bad.

  • Duplication Isn’t Always an Anti-Pattern

    Jump

  • Trying to abstract everything away in multiple layers of classes and function calls, just to avoid to write a 2 lines of code twice is the biggest evil in programming. Well probably not the biggest, but a huge problem in my opinion. Adding unnecessary complexity due to being clever is evil.

  • Trying to learn Linux, coming from windows

    Jump

  • I want to say, it takes a while to learn many stuff in Linux. You didn't learn everything of Windows in one video or blog post either. And in Linux, its even "worse", as it is open ended with many operating systems and replaceable parts. That means its by design more to learn than on Windows. I'm just setting expectations. "Learning Linux" is not a single event or product you learn, and you hopefully never stop learning.

    1. Maybe start at high level "What is Linux?".
    2. Go into "The Linux Filesystem".
    3. Learn about "Linux Philosophy and Shell Tools".
    4. That should lead you into scripting with "Bash".

    That should give you a bit of background and basics to start with. Just search these terms and start learning and experimenting. Plan years into learning...

  • On Linux, Firefox stores site-data in a folder named the same

    Jump

  • If you are concerned about a program you installed spying on you, then why do you use that program? If it can access a personal directory in Mozilla, what does it stop from accessing all the other files on your system?

  • Building the perfect linux pc with Linus Torvalds - YouTube

    Jump

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • This question is probably as old as Linux itself. While many (me included) do not like Ubuntu anymore, I still think its a good operating system for newcomers to Linux. Not at last because of the community it has. Ubuntu is only by those dislike who are long enough in this game. There are also different variants with different user interfaces and such (like Kubuntu).

  • EA says 98% of Battlefield 6 matches have been cheater free thanks to tough security

    Jump

  • You can make such statements only, if you know how many cheaters are there. And if you know there are 2% cheaters, why didn't you ban them?

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • I do not agree. While it was not an official statement, he still works at Valve. So his opinion is connected to Valve. We should not ignore that. He is not ANY developer. The only thing is, I should have made that more clear in my initial reply, but I think its not really needed because we know the context he is a developer on his own private account. But I would not ignore that.

    Jump

  • So we should ignore that he works at Valve?

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • It's a Valve employee.

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • Yes, we should celebrate transparency. Even if every game includes Ai in development in some shape or form, its good to know what exactly was done. In some cases its even a little less harmless or even acceptable (like generating meaningless terrain) than in other cases.

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • It's not seen often that Valve reacts to public comments.

  • Is there any search engine which is able to recognise and not index any website that uses ads?

    Jump

  • Why not use an ad blocker and not rely on a single search engine this way?

  • HP plans to save millions by laying off thousands, ramping up AI use

    Jump

  • This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.
