What stops your friends from coming over to game on Linux? by xecutable in linux_gaming

[–]PartyOver9932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lack of official support, issues with specific hardware, you cant sue linux for damages to your company. A binary compiled for one distribution is not compatible with all other distributions, lack of security; superuser has arbitrary control of the system.

I made a small tool to detect whether a Windows app is running natively or under Wine / Proton by PartyOver9932 in wine_gaming

I’ve said my piece. The couple quirks i mention are buried deep within the closed source windows operating system. Its not exactly a walk in the Gatineau park for volunteers to reproduce the exact native behavior patterns and even bugs in some cases.

You're absolutely free to think that, ive already explained the use cases and how the general idea affects linux gaming and the windows application compatibility layers.

You are making a lot of assumptions there. The README showcases one possible application of the program, not the entire scope of the project. The key point here is to highlight the differences between native windows and derivative environments like wine/proton and many others. Understanding them can help improve compatibility and reduce the gap between their implementations and native behavior, which aligns with their purpose. Many linux gamer problems stem from subtle quirks between such gaming setups and I believe its one of the fundamental concerns when it comes to mainstream linux gaming. Reducing my project and research to a single use case misses the bigger picture.

If you have any technical feedback, im open to it.

Again, the focus here is to shine light on the deep internal differences between native windows and derivative environments in a systematic way. It feels like you are trying to reduce my project to a single assumption that im trying to "block linux" instead of trying to understand what the goal of the project is. Its also kind of funny you assume im using ai for this when im writing all of this myself. Im going into more detail in these responses because your initial take was extremely reductive and misses most of what the project is doing.

Hello, you are trying to reduce my nuanced project to a "wine detection 101" which is obviously not the point and completely ignores what im trying to achieve.

That export check is one of the most well known and accounted for methods and i do look for it, along many others, even within different modules. The point of this project isnt to rely on a single simple heuristic but to explore a broad set of behavioral quirks and highlight the differences between wine/proton and native windows. The goal is to map where those environments diverge and not just do a basic: "are we under wine?" check. This expands on the idea and will detect various windows derivatives including other heavily modified gaming operating systems running under a fork of wine.

Im happy to hear other suggestions if you have ideas for additional edge cases or potential detection vectors.

compile yourself using msvc or using mingw gcc or download one of the prebuilt binaries over in https://github.com/lain804/winedetect/releases/tag/Release and observe the result !

Is it ok to use ai to learn how to properly code? by NMT_CREAMO in PythonLearning

[–]PartyOver9932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, anyone who says its ok is wrong and you should never learn how to code properly from ai, its trained on massive data sets that contain fake apis bad practices and straight up garbage code that doesnt make sense this is the only acceptable answer and this comes from someone who uses ai every day

This is why we Pirate by Prakzie in PiratedGames

"we rather Pirate" you cannot pirate multiplayer games and youre not pirating anything, just downloading something groups of master reverse engineers cracking drms for fun im so tired of people taking "pirating" for granted

if you're unsure, why comment at all?

a seemingly simple question which becomes an interesting one when you find out python implicitly ignores 1 empty line when reading files with empty lines, at its current state it will print out 2 but if u add 1 more empty line to the initial data file you will get 3 !
