  • Verifying that the code doesn't contain regressions, bugs, or vulnerabilities, that it doesn't conflict with whatever the owner is actively developing privately, in addition to making sure it wasn't vomited out by a goddamn clanker, is a huge burden on a solo developer. They are free to decide whether to take on this responsibility.

  • That's pretty much what happened. Windows 8 was such dogshit that it might be indirectly responsible for the revolution of Linux gaming. https://archive.ph/iHl8q

    (edit) The comments are fucking hilarious.

    Who is this turkey anyway. He says it’s “unusable” but doesn’t say he’s used it. Had he done so he would have looked past the surface change and recognized the true power and smoothness under the hood. [...] Way to go Microsoft too bad you need to put up with idiots that are too lazy to keep up with the times.

  • I take it you've never done any serious software development.

    No matter how much they try, the in-house testing environment will never be as diverse as the "wild". Running the software in production, where it will encounter a vastly greater range of system configurations, and users who will report issues, is often the only way to catch the more elusive bugs. Like xz. And let me point it out because people seem to have completely missed it: they caught the bug and fixed it.

  • Imagine. Product is released, people buy the Steam Machine, and Half-Life 3 is just... there. Preinstalled on some of the units. The buyers post it on the internet and get called bullshitters. Then Half-Life 3 is officially announced the next day. The internet loses it. Gaben ascends to godhood. He. Has. Cooked.

  • Looks like you'll have to remove the entire bottom shell. From GN's video:

    The shell doesn't seem to have a separately removable battery cover, although I don't see a reason why someone wouldn't be able to just cut a hole or 3D-print an accessible shell. Dbrand comes to mind. Or that's just a show piece and the retail product might have a battery cover.

    It also looks like the screw posts don't have threaded metal inserts, which is concerning.

  • It probably will. Watch Gamers Nexus' video, it has a short clip that shows the battery, and it looks like it's held in a receptacle like removable phone batteries. Valve have already said that you'd be able to disassemble the controller with a screwdriver, but no word yet on replacement parts. But based on the Steam Deck, I would be shocked if they didn't offer at least replacement batteries.

  • What sounds like gatekeeping is often a strongly worded emphasis on having the prerequisite knowledge to not just host your services, but do it in a way that is secure, resilient, and responsible. If you don't know how to set up a network, set up a resilient storage, manage your backups, set up HTTPS and other encryption solutions, manage user authentication and privileges, and expose your services securely, you should not be self-hosting. You should be learning how to self-host responsibly. That applies to everything from Debian to Synology.

    Friends don't let friends expose their networks like Nintendo advises.

  • Unless I'm terribly misunderstanding the word's meaning (or anglophones once again redefined a word to reflect their current sensibilities), "conservative" doesn't automatically imply politics, just that someone is resistant to new ideas. A person who only listens to music produced before the 20th century and goes into a rage when video game music composers are mentioned is a conservative, but not in terms of political views.

  • Yes, the people who refuse to either upgrade to Win11-compatible hardware or move to an OS compatible with their existing hardware will eventually get left behind. Both in terms of security and compatibility. It's happened many times, from the fall of AGP in favour of PCIE, to every time Intel inroduced a new CPU socket. X11 is the next.
