LMAO spot on!

Boromir didn’t grow up in the kingdom of Jondor.

I don’t have any issue with it myself, I think it’s a great idea.

These acronyms I’ve never seen before and have never been used by the bot:

a11y

i18n

l10n

Yep, all I have ever seen from that website is articles making grand statements based on protondb statistics that don’t support them. At least now they have a list of disclaimers at the top that let you know reading the rest of the article is pointless.

Even their disclaimers are biased though like “This may not be completely representative of all Linux gamers either.”. Ooh, “may not be”, you don’t say… I would guesstimate that not even 20% of Linux gamers make reports on protondb.

Also, ignoring all the misuse and misunderstanding of statistics, who cares what distro is supposedly most popular. Use what works for you.

Cool story bro.

Conjecture (and largely unfounded at that) isn’t evidence. I’d bet money that you don’t even have the ability to evaluate the project to determine if it’s being vibe-coded (as it seems is the case for everyone raging about this).

Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person.

Get lost with this deflection crap. You’re the one who was making a definitive statement (“The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.”) about a widely respected figure responsible for creating one of the most used pieces of software ever (not to mention Samba too) who IMO deserves the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

I merely asked you to provide evidence to back up your statement and clearly you’re unable to do that. Don’t try to push it back onto me trying to make me seem unreasonable for asking.

So no evidence at all then, gotcha.

No idea lol

I just wanted a rename utility and Arch didn’t have the GUI one I used on Mint so I gradually pieced some of this stuff together. If there’s one source online that lays it all out I haven’t found it yet!

If you’d like me to explain the one here I’ll do my best ;)

Edit: nvm, I edited the original comment to explain everything

Tested this with perl-rename and it seems to work fine:

perl-rename -n 's/.* (\d{1,2}).* (\d{1,2})/sprintf "S%02dE%02d",$1,$2/e' *

-n does a test-run and shows you the results, remove it to do the actual rename

‘s/ text to find / text to replace it with / modifier’ is the format used

. represents any single character

‘*’ matches the previous character 1 or more times

'.* ’ matches any series of characters before a space

() encloses something you want to keep

\ is the escape character

d represents any number

{1,2} means the number will be 1 or 2 digits

In the sprintf, %02d is to format each number with 2 digits.

$1 and $2 pass the first and second values enclosed in parentheses from the first argument into the 2 d’s in the “S%02dE%02d” of the second argument.

This link has a better explanation of the /e modifier than I could give you xD

Works for me too (on Mullvad - Brussels).

The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.

Evidence?

they actually let you own the game

Let’s be clear. Both Steam and GoG sell you the same licence for a game.

Steam comes with optional DRM that requires you to use the Steam client. Whether or not this DRM is present on a game is the publisher’s decision, not Steam’s.

Steam could certainly be criticised for providing the functionality but it’s not mandatory.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam for instance has no DRM and can be run without Steam. Even if a game has Steam DRM it’s usually trivial to bypass it.

I completely agree. I just thought it important to be accurate with these criticisms.

Good on ya for the edit :)

According to the article you linked it isn’t. They platformed him but it isn’t owned by him and he doesn’t work for them.

I think people are entitled to complain. They’re just not entitled to be listened to.

But then there is this knee-jerk raging about stuff. If the guy doesn’t disclose it he’s AN EVIL AI USER who’s hiding it. If he does disclose it he’s AN EVIL AI USER who’s even worse because he must be proud of it. In amongst this nobody has any clue if he’s just used Claude to check his work, do his work for him, or somewhere in between.

For the record, if he is proven to be using AI to code the project then sure, everyone pile on, I’ll join you and he’ll deserve it.

This post is so needlessly aggressive and assumptive.

30min video, 10mins of promotions… nope

Yep, absolutely!

IMO the purpose of age verification is to legalise social media companies data collection before they get in hot water over it.

That’s why Meta has been spending millions on lobbying for age verification.

Explain Bernard Law then.

Law was Archbishop of Boston from March 1984 until his resignation on December 13, 2002, after his involvement in the Archdiocese of Boston sex abuse scandal became public knowledge. Law was proven to have ignored or concealed the molestation of many underage children;[2][3] Church documents demonstrate that he had extensive knowledge of widespread child sexual abuse committed by dozens of Catholic priests in his archdiocese over almost two decades; he failed to report these crimes to the authorities, instead merely transferring the accused priests between parishes.[4] One priest in Law’s archdiocese, John Geoghan, raped or molested more than 130 children in six different parishes in a career of 30 years.[4] Law was widely denounced for his handling of the sexual abuse cases, and outside the church his public image was destroyed in the aftermath of the scandal.

Two years after Law resigned from his position in Boston, which Bishop William Skylstad called “an important step in the healing process”,[2] Pope John Paul II appointed him Archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome in 2004. He resigned the position upon reaching age 80 in November 2011, and died in Rome on December 20, 2017, at age 86.

(I should add for context that after his resignation he moved to Rome immediately.)

I think given all their other actions during WW2 it’s definitely part of a pattern and probably wasn’t solely (if at all) in self defence. IMO if you read enough about various religions you’ll realise that organised religion is always fascistic.

Not to mention the fact that the catholic church is largely responsible for anti-semitism having blamed all Jews for the death of Jesus for nearly 2000 years (and even after what happened during WW2 they didn’t stop doing it until 1965).
