Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

My favorite reference

Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.

If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.

I think I might pay less than those 200$ backers for both games when I buy them on steam 😄

I get it’s for peeps that really want those games to exist, but this article writes about it like it is completely unexpected, which is bullshit.

Seems like we’re in the same boat, haha.

I also have a big backlog, and there are far more interesting options than their stuff.

Wasn’t Piranha Bytes not profitable for quite some time?

Their games certainly had a community of fans, but I don’t think those are enough to keep a whole studio afloat.

Just thinking out loud, I did not look at any numbers, but in my head what’s done them in is not producing games that feel good to play. I loved Gothic 3 and Arcania at the time, but I’d choose any other 3rd person RPG that actually has snappy controls over the more modern stuff like Elex and I feel like that’s the mainstream opinion going around.

I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?

If someone did that in Europe they’d be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

Ha, that’s funny. When I run some Visual Studio builds on Windows it completely freezes at times.

Never have that issue on EOS with KDE.

It’s very strange to have North Korean refugees send balloons up north with the state responding to it and also accusing Seoul of propaganda. Seems like they can hardly fathom that individuals have freedom to decide what they may do on their own.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

I’d have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.

Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.

We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.

Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.

Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)

That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.

It’s weird. There seem to be a lot of games that offer native Linux clients but they tend to not be maintained that well. Quite a shame really.

I did check the bios settings but couldn’t really find anything that would directly affect a pcie card.

Most power management stuff that could cause issues is turned off. Fast boot itself was also off.

Classic!

Thanks! It’s really funny. Especially since KDE updated to version 6 and caused a lot of issues for other users - so it had to be the a software issue of course!

I’m still not entirely convinced, that it wasn’t a software issue that caused the device to misbehave.
