DevOps was a lie pushed on devs to make them become sysadmins, unfortunately.

This is a classic move to not get sued, exactly like airlines do. If you try to sue them after redeeming the gift card, they can argue that you’ve been made whole, and do 'ot 'eed additional compensation.

I used to work for a very very large company and there, a team of 9 people and I’s entire jobs was ensuring that the shitty qradar stack kept running (it did not want to do so). I would like to make abundantly clear that our job was not to use this stack at all, simply to keep it running. Using it was another team’s job.

Maybe it’s time we invent JPUs (json processing units) to equalize the playing field.

An alternative is python, it can do GUIs easily, and it does have mouse-control facilités as well and it is cross plaform. That being said generally on Linux you don’t even need to automate mouse click, as almost all of it can be controllers with straight up commands.

Fall guys works. I used to play it on my stem deck. Fortnite is notoriously busted though.

EAC is now largely compatible with Linux, but devs have to enable support per game.

I recommend browsing protondb to see how (if) people have made games with anticheat work, you might need to change proton versions, add launch options etc.

I doesn’t have auto hotkey because for the most part, you can control Linux from the command-line without someone having to invent a new scripting language from scratch to control it.

I heavily recommend you familiarize yourself with bash and the system commands you’ll need to send key presses, move windows, spawn and kill programs, etc.

Yeah there are plenty of kwin effect you can install that would make it as pretty as windows 11 if that’s important to you. Just like there are plenty of themes you can install if you want a macOS experience instead

The “choose the default app” modal has special code that makes it say “HEY BTW EDGE EXISTS CLICK HERE” If the modal is for choosing your default browser. It is absolutely about control.

Hong Kong is extremely small. Offering the service to both (and oversubscribing the hell out of 50G) is extremely simple, since a business might be anywhere including close to consumers, so you’re building the infra regardless.

I don’t think it makes sense for most people to pay for this, but in 1998 you would have said “we will never need more than aDSL for the consumer” yet here we are with 1G/ 5G links to the home that are getting actually saturated.

So does the unity engine and that doesn’t make it any less closed source.

The engineers on the proposal are all google employees and the presentation is consistent with proposals made as if speaking for their employers. It’s not exactly common but it happens that proposals like this are made on the proposing employee’s account, as google is so unfathomably large that many employees may not have push access to Google repos. However, given that this is a rather large and controversial proposal, I’d wager that this was a political decision to not “taint” official Google repos with this, enabling them to say “well it’s not a proposal by Google the company we actually love our users :)”

It’s definitely because they’re cowards, but to be entirely fair this is a valid course of action when your repo suddenly gets 10k views a day.

Who am I kidding it because they can’t take the hear of being this moronic

But they often don’t. I’m still in favor of adding captcha, but the bots we’re seeing are choosing instances without email requirement because it’s easier (and sending an email every millisecond is a good way for the instance to be banned by whatever mail provider it’s going to, making it so that you can’t complete account creation)

Bypassing captcha is technically possible but very hard, hard enough that it doesn’t make sense financially to do it. Keeping it is a must. If they do end up removing it, we need to add it back in (actually not that hard to do)

This has been happening since the update btw. It happened to me a few days ago.

So funny thing about that, assuming that the admins are just running the default Lemmy software.

There isn’t one because there is not data being collected and or sent to third parties to speak of.

Here is the privacy policy: the only data the admins collect is whatever was in a text box when you pressed “send post” and your email address that you provided when you signed up. That… Is basically it. There are no tracking cookies, they don’t track analytics data, like genuinely the only data that even hits their servers at all is just what you submit, manually.

The reason every website has a privacy policy is because they don’t want to get sued for selling the data they collect on you.
