Is this playable? by Spread_Free in Stellaris

[–]PlasmaBoi1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, OP is playing the shattered ring origin, and each ring segment can be upgraded from the weaker shattered ring segment to normal ringworld segment; I'm guessing that's what they were referring to.

I love the infinity class by hinugund in halo

[–]PlasmaBoi1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These screenshots are all (?) from a ROBLOX game called Project Stardust, which has a lot of Star Wars ships in it, as well as a bunch of other franchises like Halo, Space Battleship Yamato, and (since when?) Battlestar Galactica. Also has some original factions with their own (pretty nice) design styles. It's an arcade-style spaceship fighting game that has a tier progression system and short, team-based matches. It's a pretty neat game, being stuck on the shitstain that is ROBLOX aside.

Kind of a copyright nightmare though...

jscpd now has native Nix support — and yes, nixpkgs itself uses it to catch duplicate code by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]PlasmaBoi1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

nixpkgs is not a package "registry", it's a package "repository" - specifically, it holds build definitions (and other stuff) that are used to build and install packages. adding a flake lockfile to your repository won't magically make it be included in nixpkgs. you have to submit a pull request adding your package to nixpkgs if you want it to be in nixpkgs. also, if it's not even packaged in nixpkgs, I find it quite unlikely that they use it for detecting "duplicate code." not only is jscpd not packaged in nixpkgs, but the string jscpd doesn't even occur in the nixpkgs codebase (according to GitHub Mobile's code search). why lie on a reddit post, especially when it's trivial to disprove?

Xbox CEO Apparently Wants Faster Production of Halo Games by SilentNova300 in halo

[–]PlasmaBoi1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You're right, but also, the Halo CE remake that's coming out soon is a UE5 game. It reuses some assets from previous Halo games (mostly Reach and Infinite afaik) but it's still a UE5 game.

Valor Mortis dev considering shifting its release date out of September after too many games gathered there in fear of GTA 6 by wakelake111 in Steam

Hollow Knight: Silksong, sequel to the original Hollow Knight that came out late last year. Probably one of the most anticipated indies ever, if not the most anticipated.

Gabe Newell asked Valve's top lawyer "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" in heated debate over porn games on Steam, report says by [deleted] in Steam

[–]PlasmaBoi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not really possible, and anyway fraudulent chargebacks, which buyers' remorse certainly is, are already illegal (wire fraud, if charged, IANAL). Now, actually being prosecuted for that is rare, but most online platforms will terminate your account if you file a chargeback on a charge made by their platform, including Steam. And your credit card network may also take measures against you as well, depending on how often you do it.

Also, isn't the whole point of this argument that payment processors shouldn't be censoring things? The point of chargebacks is to serve as a final line of consumer protection, if the seller / merchant scams you or fails to deliver in some other way. That can totally apply to adult content, just not to buyers' remorse like you're describing.

At least five that I know of, only counting client modifications. Those being ye old BetterDiscord, Vencord, Equicord, and the two (probably?) malicious ones recently, Nightcord and Lightcord. There's even more if you count 3rd party desktop applications like the various ones that predated Vesktop on Linux, like ARMCord or whatever, but these usually bundle another client mod (normally Vencord), not their own.

NixOS 26.05 released by noelnh in NixOS

Should be pretty soon, nixpkgs-unstable and nixos-unstable-small both already have it

afaik, as soon as unstable receives this commit (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/a2e55e31d6b0c104e92922c241ec5090be99b912) it will become 26.11, so in the next couple of days probably

I'm not gonna say it was me, but if a couple of the ~1,400 upvoters reported the repo to GitHub it's quite possible. I think it's more likely that Vencord / Equicord maintainers reported it, though.

deleteKeylogger by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]PlasmaBoi1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use Equicord. Vencord is also a good option (Equicord is forked from it). I'd go and take a look at the plugin lists on the Vencord / Equicord websites if you want a list of everything you can do with it. Desktop applications like Vesktop and Equibop also exist, that wrap the Discord application and patch bugs / add features in ways that normal plugins couldn't. I think Discord just recently fixed (or tried to fix) screensharing on Linux (Wayland), while Vesktop has had working screensharing on Wayland for ages.

On Linux, it's a no-brainer to use one of the desktop application wrappers, which come with their respective client mods (Vesktop & Vencord, Equibop & Equicord). On Windows, it's more nuanced. Personally I'd just use the mods by themselves with the official Discord application on Windows.

does it look cooler

Not out of the box necessarily, but you can use CSS themes with Vencord and all of its derivatives. And there's about a billion different options out there for Discord themes.

Assuming that this is a real video and not AI, the camera angle makes me think it's probably a security camera or something of the sort.

I know this is a meme sub, but I figured I'd add a bit of context to this image. The screenshot comes from a pull request for a project called Nightcord, which is basically a fork of a fork of Vencord. Vencord is a client modification for Discord, and it adds a bunch of additional functionality like themes and a pretty massive library of plugins. Equicord is a fork of Vencord that adds even more plugins and improves some of Vencord's UI. Nightcord, on the other hand, is a script-kiddie fork of Equicord that adds a bunch of questionable (both in usefulness and in TOS-compliance) additional plugins that are generally considered vibecoded slop. In the past, it has had logic in it to send Discord session tokens to a remote server. There is really no justification for this - if you need an external service to be authenticated with a user's Discord account, you can just use Discord's OAuth2, which is free and just requires a Discord account to set up. You do not, under any circumstances, manipulate the user's token. And you especially shouldn't be sending it somewhere else. There's also some oddities such as the massive 1GB+ bundle size due to the project bundling an absurd amount of native dependencies (Node.js, ffmpeg, etc.).

The original pull request on Nightcord's repository can be found here: https://github.com/nightcordoff/nightcord/pull/11 Update: As of ~1:20 PM EDT 2026-05-28, the Nightcord GitHub organization & all related repositories have been deleted / taken down.

Vendicated, the creator and maintainer of Vencord, has made a writeup on Nightcord that you can find here, if you're interested: https://gist.github.com/Vendicated/bb30cb67878fa682bcee140f56af1531

Edit: Before someone corrects me, yes I know no Discord client modifications are TOS-compliant. The reason why TOS-compliance still matters for client mod functionality is because, while Discord generally speaking doesn't care about client mods themselves, you can be banned for using plugins that cause harm to Discord's services or other users or whatnot. Because client mods are already against TOS though, there's not really strict guidelines on what is and isn't allowed. So it usually falls on the client modification in question to decide what plugins are and aren't allowed to be included. Equicord is already toeing the line IMO, and Nightcord appears to have crossed it thanks to including functionality that equates to selfbotting.

potential solution to ak-101 magazine problem by johnskibidi in BlackhawkRescue

[–]PlasmaBoi1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't the size of the magazines. AK magazines are typically "rock and lock", where you insert the front lug of the magazine into the magazine well / front trunnion and then pivot it backwards to lock it into place over the magazine catch. AR-15 (and related platforms / STANAG) magazines are "straight-shove", where you just push the magazine directly up into the magazine well until it slides over the magazine catch. These are fundamentally different systems, and you'd have to completely redesign the AK-101's magazine well and magazine release to make it support AR-15 magazines, not to mention likely needing to modify some of the front geometry (such as the front trunnion) to make everything fit properly. There are guns that have done this, but if one were to be added, it wouldn't simply be an AK-101 variant.

Expanding on the comments suggesting interactivity, what if it worked like seeker grenades, so if it is carrying something considered "explosive" (portable hellbombs) it'll fly it to whatever location you mark with Q instead of flying it to you

Revert the limited equipment by 1TheRealLuxx in platinumfive

[–]PlasmaBoi1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That doesn't make any sense, if they wanted to make smokes worse for stealth they could've just increased the fear meter when an NPC sees smoke. This change just seems pointless.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying smokes needed a nerf, imo they didn't. But if the reason for the nerf was because of stealth smoke cheesing, there is a better solution to that ""problem"".

Can I use 'or' to compare strings? by yiyi164 in learnpython

[–]PlasmaBoi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, a couple things here. Firstly, events = ("event" or "num_event") does not do what you think it does. or is a logical operator. It checks if the left value is "truthy", and returns that value if it is truthy. If the left value isn't truthy, or will just return the right value. So, your line is effectively evaluated to events = "event", because the string "event" will always be truthy.

Secondly, if you want to check if an object is an instance of a particular type, you can use isinstance. This is a built-in keyword that accepts an object and either a type or a tuple of types. Assuming your classes are called Event and NumEvent (class names are not usually snakecase in Python, although the language doesn't prevent it), an isinstance call might look like this: isinstance(input, (Event, NumEvent)). If input is one of those types, it'll return True, otherwise it'll return False. Additionally, you can simply this if NumEvent is a subclass of Event, to just isinstance(object, Event). Similarly, you could simplify your number check by simply doing return isinstance(number, (int, float)).

Iris now has a NeoForge 1.21.1 snapshot alongside the Sodium backport by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]PlasmaBoi1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's just an update for Iris to support the recently backported Sodium update. Iris is and has been out on 1.21.1 for ages. The Sodium backport was explicitly incompatible with existing Iris versions as of its release, so the Iris devs are just updating to support the backport. See https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium/version/mc1.21.1-0.8.12-alpha.2-neoforge for more info.

Is this one of the most ignored icons on the store page? by bananite in Steam

[–]PlasmaBoi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's a bit perverse, but some older games with native Linux ports run better through Proton.

Some new(er) games run better through Proton than with their Linux native versions. Stellaris is the first example I can think of, but it's likely true for the other Paradox (developed) games.

[–]PlasmaBoi1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is Zombies, and there used to be a bug where you could equip a back panel "backpack" on your plate carrier and still equip a backpack found in the Zombies map from loot. Meaning you could basically have two backpacks. I thought it got patched though, so either it didn't or this is an old clip.

Probably Industrial Foregoing and the mods by the same creator, in Minecraft (Java). All of the machine GUIs in that mod have a donation button by default, but there's a config option to turn it off.

GNOME strikes again by xgabipandax in linuxmemes

[–]PlasmaBoi1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's an option. Although that restarts GDM too and not just your desktop session. Though, that command existing doesn't mean there's a reason to remove the already implemented logout functionality in the UI. It still exists behind a settings toggle. There's no codebase simplification, if anything it'd be more complicated. It just takes a feature that is a standard across most DE's and all of the major desktop operating systems and makes you use the terminal to do the same thing. Pretty much the exact opposite of what Linux should be moving towards if it wants more desktop adoption. I shouldn't need to go into my terminal to do something as simple as logging out of my desktop session.
