Games@lemmy.world•Epic Games Store will get a Linux version sometime "soon"English
2·16 days agoIt was kinda annoying that you had to fight for it. I can’t imagine how many people who put down the game for a few years and checked up on it to find the Linux version is no longer supported and they’re beyond the point to request a refund.

Games@lemmy.world•What is the smartest non boss enemy in a video gameEnglish
182·1 month agoNot an enemy, but Kaepora Gaebora (the owl) from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Feels like every time you talk with him and try to skip the dialog by mashing A, the question changes and you get stuck having to hear him repeat what he was saying.

Technology@lemmy.ml•New device could make processors run 1,000 times faster without additional waste heat — scientists say it could reduce data center energy demandsEnglish
134·3 months agoLLMs are just a tool, just like airplanes or hammers. An airplane is very expensive, but better at going really far distances than humans can on foot. A hammer is cheaper than a human, but by itself is useless unless operated properly. Despite the tone of the outputs, LLMs should not be authoritative and human judgement shouldn’t be replaced with them.
Just on the security side of coding, highly skilled security engineers at Mozilla were able to use Claude Mythos to identify and address many issues to make Firefox more secure. Some if these issues were introduced over 10 years ago, and a human could have identified and fixed them but human speed of reading and finding will always be a bottleneck. Having highly skilled humans offload the slow task to go through the codebase and raise issues, allowed them to find and understand the nuanced problem, and work on a fix. The key here is giving the people with the skills the ability be enhanced with LLMs, not replace them with one.

Games@lemmy.world•What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??English
2·3 months agoYes exactly the same feeling for me. That was so cool and unique, there were also amazing puzzles with that mechanic.

241·3 months agoI enjoyed Zelda Skyward Sword upon release, despite having to get the new controller that supporter more motion on the Wii for it. The dungeon on the ship in the desert that involved time travel was a standout level and i really enjoyed it at the time. Granted I haven’t played it in 10 years, it’s a good game. I am glad though that the backlash resulted in Breath of the Wild, and without Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild would have never happened.
Ooo Dungeon Baller looks neat, is that game even out yet? I’d like to check it out if you have a key available.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to check pc for spyware and can you say there is no spyware or is it probabilityEnglish
13·4 months agoFWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like
psandtopshouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under/proc/.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•"new" Python project with hard-coded ancient dependencies, urghEnglish
10·4 months agoThere are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via
pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into LinuxEnglish
5·5 months agoThis is one of the most sensible comments in the thread. The law is the problem. This is something which should have been self regulated by websites themselves, but Meta lobbied for laws like this so they wouldn’t have to police it. The law making this mandatory for everyone when this should be a parental control is the issue.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into LinuxEnglish
5·5 months agoIMO the benefit and curse is you could fork it, maintain it, patch it yourself, etc if you wanted, but then its a full time job keeping it up to date with changes. As others have pointed out, this is a decisive change, so a fork probably wouldn’t be a solo project, but the bifurcation in development would be a large impact, slowing development in other fixes and features.

Linux@lemmy.ml•On Linux, how do I get the VM host/guest experience but with two physical PCs, such as a "guest" laptop and a "host" desktop PC? [SOLVED]English
1·6 months agoAssuming the laptop you’re looking to control has HDMI out and USB input for Keyboard and mouse, I think you’re right with the KVM switch idea, one that supports USB and HDMI input, and can switch between them between two devices. What I would do is get something which can record HDMI on your main PC. Some gamer devices have HDMI passthrough, which you’d plug into the KVM switch, but you could also use an HDMI splitter to have a feed from the laptop going into the KVM switch and to the recorder on your main computer. On your main computer, you could use OBS Studio to record the video from the laptop.
Sounds like the best workaround for this is to have a deadman switch to delete all data if the phone hasn’t been unlocked in a 24 hour period? Then it is your inaction that results in the destruction of the data, and you’d still be complying with the statute.
