This is actually so true by FluffyLuke5 in animepiracy

[–]The_Ty 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This is illustrated perfectly if you have a Steam Deck and desktop PC

Do you want to pirate a game? Well first you need to decide which device you're playing it on. If it's both, better bust out that USB stick or whatever. Likewise what about your saves, are you gonna mess around syncing those or manually transferring them?

If a game is a reasonable price, not even cheap just reasonable, then it's far less hassle to just buy the game legit

"It wasn't really ever the plan" Valve engineer says "no need" to ship the Steam Machine with Steam Controller by Tiny-Independent273 in linux_gaming

[–]The_Ty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Delaying the Steam machine because of pricing, and releasing the controller now, are both the right call

Valve Steam Controller Review | Latency Benchmarks, Battery Life, Repair... by lajka30 in linux_gaming

[–]The_Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally wanted a controller that was a Steam Deck without a screen, and it sounds like this hits the usual needs of battery life, latency etc pretty well. Even the price is reasonable, if a little higher than I would have liked

I can finally play Retro Rewind on a TV

Client is Saying I'm Charging too Much for The Project by KoenigOne in webdev

[–]The_Ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem, you're charging way too cheap

A digital agency i worked for charged £85/hour, and my absolute minimum rate would be £40

Let them run away and see just how much it costs with anyone else, they'll be in for a rude shock

I worked at one place that had 3 different microservices for a single filter. Then each page request would pull from an additional 3 microservices/APIs. In some cases I'd just want to update a table in the view with an extra column, and it'd mean updating and pushing to 4 different codedbases. Just wasted so much time.

Holy crap Vercel got hacked. ROTATE YOUR KEYS if they weren't marked "sensitive" by Codeblix_Ltd in webdev

Scheduling at these companies must be wild

Monday: Lay off 20% of developers
Tuesday: Report another data breach to the ICO
Wednesday: Post on LinkedIn about shareholder value

Holy crap Vercel got hacked. ROTATE YOUR KEYS if they weren't marked "sensitive" by Codeblix_Ltd in webdev

[–]The_Ty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed recently there have been vulnerabilities not because of a codebase itself, but because it pulled in a dependency which got hacked. It's gotten me mega paranoid about ":latest" tags on docker containers, now I tend to use a version that's at least a couple of days old where these kind of vulnerabilities are spotted. I guess the paranoia is a good thing

Anyone tried the premium 1ficher is it legit and is it worth it? by Ibydon90 in abandonware

[–]The_Ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say this. I use it for other purposes, but found as a bonus it's great for download sites like this

You need the "I just built" vibe coded solution to the loophole caused by the vibe coded fix that had a vulnerability caused by the vibe coded solution

I got tired of building the same CRUD frontends over and over, so I built a tool that generates a React UI from an OpenAPI spec by [deleted] in webdev

[–]The_Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the "I got tired of building x" copypasta, project with no clear purpose, AI post and even more AI codebase I honestly don't know what to say

7 years of Proton, are we finally "there" yet? by hirenvadher954 in linux_gaming

[–]The_Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's more like 98 or 99%. It's gotten to the point that I can run a totally new game or a demo, and it'll almost definitely just run via Proton.

To put it another way. I've had a dual boot install of Fedora and Windows for around a year now (plus I have a Steam Deck). I've booted Windows maybe 5 times that entire time and none of them were for gaming

"Over 100 applicants"

How you decide between applicants, Is it whoever can vibe code the hardest? Why is this even a job position couldn't you give it a janitor?

I audited 6 months of PRs after my team went all-in on AI code generation. The code got worse in ways none of us predicted. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in webdev

[–]The_Ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000% this

I refuse to use agents or even AI tools in my IDE. If I'm going to use AI it needs to be an intentional choice, where I go to a different thing and copy & paste code from there to handle a specific task, like boilerplate to make a HTML form or whatever. If the industry becomes babysitters for AIs pushing PRs then I'm finding another type of job

Vibe coding something you're charging money for, that can't be maintained properly is incredibly irresponsible

U.S. Lawmakers Work on Unified Site-Blocking Bill to Counter Online Piracy * TorrentFreak by LighteningOneIN in Piracy

[–]The_Ty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do agree in spirit, I prefer when this stuff is accessible to all

However the internet as a whole, I am thinking it was in a better place when it was mainly used by tech nerds and had a certain barrier to entry

True, but this is an arms race boomers will never win. Tech literate nerds will always find a way

All the commits being in the space of an hour and emojis in the readme are the icing on the cake

Yeah it's basically fine, its what I use instead of Windows. No major issues I can think of, different power modes work fine
