Wider War III

Update: I see GOGs client gog galaxy doesn’t work on Linux (why?) and I used Lutris to access my GOG games. Brilliant.

Sometimes at birth.

Ah. Thanks. Good explanation. I think apart from Steam, or Linux native I’ve only used Bottles before. This makes it clear.

Petition to make this the official advert of Ozempic.

I’m still not sure I’ve actually understood the point of Lutris. I’m not hating on it. I have it. I just don’t really know what to do with it.

Incredible transformation into your true self. Amazing.

It’s definitely a froth-worthy game. But I played it way back when it came out in 2002. I think nostalgia plays a big role in my enjoyment of it.

Same low pric… (the end of that line always seems cut off to me).

Sniff It smells like birch up in here.

I will be the first to admit that I am a dumb dumb.

I had to read this headline once. Then twice. Then a third time, really slowly, to actually parse its meaning. After doing that, I was fed up with the article already so didn’t read it.

Laughs in Penguin

There’s no polite way to say this, so I’ll say it like this:

This is fucking pathetic.

Pickpockets.

Literally the only way to do this is fire the first 3 or 4 levels of upper management.

I looked at the repo but I still don’t know what this is. Is it a game? Is it something else?

Probably a simple way without looking at ANY code is to just look at a few key points on GitHub (or GitLab or other):

Stars This is the number of people who have favourited the package. In general, if a package has more stars (500+, 1000+) it is probably good and has had a lot of people looking at it and using it. Beware packages with only a few stars (fewer than 20, but context matters.)

Forks Also look at the number forks the repo has. In general, the more forks it has, the more people in the community have contributed to it, fixing bugs, tightening security, etc. Again, the more eyes the package has on it, the higher the chance that key vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed.

Number of Contributors same reason as forks.

When last the files in the repo were updated Occasionally you’ll find a package that meets the above heuristics very well, but was only last updated 5 to 10 years ago. Avoid these as they aren’t up to date and therefore have vulnerabilities.

All these points are just rough heuristics and there will be exceptions but can generally point even experienced developers in the right direction.

I see Heretic. I upvote. I see Linux. I upvote. How to upvote twice?
