Description from my video:
So many things could go wrong in a multiplayer speedrun... no wonder why no one runs this game like this lmao..
Things that can kill this type of run:
- Random Crits can both be the the bane and the boon of your run. I chose to stick to Valve servers in favor of random crits.
- Item servers or the game server itself could be down at any moment's notice.
- Lag.
- The other team has at least two or three good players... or has cheaters.
- Your team is not so good at fending off good players.
- You can't choose teams like in the olden days and joining BLU team is the most optimal in Medieval Mode (and generally in other modes too like A/D). BLU team is practically granted insta-respawns in Medieval Mode.
>Even though I got to RED team after switching servers, I abused the hell out of the retry command to shorten the 16-second respawns or to shorten the time it takes me to walk back to spawn and change weapons down to 5.
Also, don't mind the scuffed LiveSplit speedrun layout lol.
asking the real questions
whatever you do, do not, BY ANY MEANS, think about visiting this site that, among other things, links to full, pirated, de-DRM'd games that are better experienced in their entirety without an intermediary platform like Steam, Epic Games, etc... DO NOT GIVE THE THOUGHT EVEN A MICROSECOND! This would totally be morally equivalent to "the bad stuff" that good wholesome companies that do mere totally excusable "oopsies".

> On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, a shocking and brutal incident unfolded at the University of Warsaw, leaving the academic community in disbelief. Around 6:40 PM, 22-year-old Mieszko R., a law student at the university, attacked two individuals with an axe in the Auditorium Maximum building. The attack resulted in the tragic death of a 53-year-old female porter, who succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while a 39-year-old university security guard sustained serious injuries while attempting to intervene.
> In the aftermath of this horrific event, Mieszko R. was charged with murder with particular cruelty, attempted murder of the security guard, and desecration of the victim's body.
> Mieszko R. hails from Gdynia and had been studying law at the University of Warsaw. His acquaintances described him as a quiet and reserved individual with interests in military items and the Soviet Union. However, social media activity revealed a darker side; his Instagram account followed profiles associated with far-right groups, including Konfederacja and Młodzież Wszechpolska. Reports indicated that he had a fascination with violence, often watching recordings of gang activities from regions like South America and the Middle East.
Love how news outlets always find a way to blame it on them Lay-Tams, Ay-Rabs, etc.. even if it has nothing to do with them. It's no surprise since it's an Europa specialty. WP Polska and their contemporaries worded that last part slightly differently:
> He showed and sometimes watched himself, commenting with a smile on his face, recordings from places like South America or the Middle East, where real gangs kill real people - adds our interlocutor.

Gamers will unite to thwart cheaters and staunchly have their demands for balance changes met but will turn the other cheek on racism, sexism, ableism, etc.. with the reasoning being "cuz muh free speech", both in-game and on social media platforms.
as an alternative, I recommend Yewtube (not to be confused with the Invidious instance with the same name):
https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube
It's a TUI application that streams the music to mplayer, VLC or MPV depending on your preference. It can also handle playlists/albums.
I've been working on a small platformer game that squarely revolves around Demoman's mobility mechanics from TF2 (think Sticky Jumper, stickyjumping, trimping, etc..) but in 2D. I'm thinking that there could be potential for something funny and wacky from coalescing some ideas from an FPS game and 2D platformers like VVVVVV, Rayman Origins/Legends and some Flash games from way back then..
So far I only have the movement and projectile physics down.. my artistic abilities leave... a lot to be desired. I haven't decided on the game's core mechanics just yet either, but now I turn to you to gather some inspiration :).
EDIT: attached some gameplay footage
Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft's trademarked cursetm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don't care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don't want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.
I used to play it on mobile on lunch times during my middle school days, this was back when it first released or something... I've never gotten past the 3rd level (or 2nd if I remember correctly), so I recently decided to give it my best shot and tie up loose ends... And so, those ends have been finally tied up and I can finally rest easy... Took me a total of 11.5hrs lol.
worth mentioning that a FOSS clone exists of this game called Open Hexagon:
https://github.com/vittorioromeo/SSVOpenHexagon
might try to beat it one day lol.. if you thought Super Hexagon was insane, wait till you see what OH has in store...

Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you're on your own. The fact that it's Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.
It's like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.
I use LLMs to generate unit tests, among other things that are pretty much already described here. It helps me discover edge cases I haven't considered before, regardless if the generated unit tests themselves pass correctly or not.
Are the GPUs commercially available yet? :o We need a website akin to "are we rust yet" but for chinese GPUs/CPUs
Yep, looking at this again months later, I'd say this one's a lot easier on the eyes, nice one :)

"nooo don't just use our services for their naturally intended purpose"
Does it work well with Lemmy embeds (e.g. under the post description)?
Yeah, I feel it's important to me that the service doesn't block as many countries
i just want to create a community to dump my gaming clips without using too much of lemmy.ml's capacity lol.. Any suggestions?
Yep, as expected from an average lib, there it is. Not only are you incapable of answering simple questions to back up your frivolous platitudes, you deflect with retorts and you keep moving the goalpost and/or segue into subjects that have nothing to do with DeepSeek. Keep on it all you want, it's called cope, and you'll be riding that train for a while.
Fortunately for you by the way, that tired and labored topic has been covered in class before: https://lemmy.ml/post/24883639/16142507
For as long as you are unable to answer these questions, you'll forever be at odds with reality, lib.
You can register your account without having to supply a phone number. You can use the service without querying your phone number or other forms of PII. Privacy minded individuals sometimes have to use proprietary services (e.g. at work, at school) and do so with caution and they make sure to exercise common-sense too when going in, you know? Once again, you can literally just self-host if you're not too trusting of the online version. You have a choice.
Now tell me: have you tried DeepSeek before the DDoS attacks (or self-hosted it)? What’s the catch with using DeepSeek? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements? What makes DeepSeek not "good", "fast" and "free"?

I'm looking for something that takes a CV (e.g. md, pdf, odt, whatever) and a site to the job post as inputs and outputs a CV that is tailored to the requirements listed in that job post, without significantly changing the CV in some way..
I know that LLMs would be best used for such a problem, but the issue is that I don't have such a beefy computer to run an LLM locally.. Maybe there's something out there that doesn't use an LLM? Anything that helps with applying and making sure that the CV is attractive enough to your average ATS, honestly.

Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.
I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it's not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.
I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.
UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de, will provide a review of the app later
This comes as a result of a scuffle between South Americans and Poles, with two ending up hospitalized in Śrem. Followed by this, stupid questions like "Have open borders brought gang violence to Poland all the way from South America?" (Blood) are seriously being asked and discussed.
Pictures of the situation's aftermath: Atak ostrym przedmiotem na śremskiej plaży. Są poważnie ranni [AKTUALIZACJA] (CW: Blood, albeit censored)
Latest statement the Śrem Police, Google Translated:
> Yesterday, September 7, just after At 11 p.m., the Śrem Police officer on duty was notified about a fight that took place on the beach at Lake Grzymisławskie in Śrem. Police investigations into this matter were and are currently ongoing throughout the night. The police are explaining the situation and determining the course of the event in which several people took part. Two men, residents of Śrem, were taken to hospital with injuries. The police detained four men as suspects of involvement in the fight. One of these men is an Argentine national and three are Colombian nationals. They were all taken to police custody. Today, at 09.40, policemen from the Śrem Implementation Group detained a fifth man as a person suspected of participating in a fight. He is also a Colombian citizen. This man was also taken into police custody , said the deputy inspector in the morning. Kasińska.
To no one's surprise, this is a clear-cut scapegoating of all immigrants for the actions of a few, looking for any excuse to wage racist, xenophobic actions on less than 3.69% of the population of Poland.

Nationalities outside of Europe are so small, they are all relegated to the "other" row on the census .-. !
Proponents of these lynch mobs will say that the data above may be a bit outdated, since there's been a bump-up on the non-Poles population (as if it justifies the proliferation of these mobs), but will omit the fact that after 2021, most of them come from Ukraine.. So that still doesn't change much of anything.

The patrol will supposedly be followed by police monitoring, as if that'd make it any better.
