Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.

Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It's exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I've now placed in the spoiler.

spoiler

  1. Download all GoG install files for a particular game, and place them in some folder.
  2. "Add a non-steam game" from within steam, for the installer executable, with the corresponding working directory ("start in").
  3. Run the "game", with the proton compatibility mode enabled.
  4. After installing, change the entry from 1., to point to the game executable (you'll have to search for it), and corresponding working directory. It should be somewhere in $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

PS: Surround all paths with double quotes. Both the TARGET and START IN fields. The working directory is almost always the directory that the executable is in.

When updating a game, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Change the entry to run the update. Update. Change the entry back.

I'm sure there are better ways to do this. So I'll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn't all that happy with it.

If its available on both, GOG. Always. Even if the game was $15 om gog and $6 on steam.

I play them through steam with Proton. It's tedious installing and adding the games, and updates are a similar manual process as installing them. But, I want to support DRM free software.

Edit: From the comments here... Hm, maybe it's not a well known thing that you can run gog games on steam w/Proton?

The quality of code available for LLMs to learn from is normally distributed with the peak around "shouldn't pass code review".

What experienced developers write code at would be on the top 5 percentile, and are used to their colleagues to do the same. The effort put into reviewing code, also takes that into account.

If a team member starts using LLMs to write chunks of code, the quality will at best have the same normal distributed peak as the learning data. Which is a incredibly waste of resources, as you now have to spend 10x more time on reviewing the code, regardless of how often it ends up being ok

But then again, you did comment on what the article was about. Which would make it relevant to know what the article was about.

In a lot of places in the EU, I think it's legal to take pictures. What you can do with said picture, differs quite a bit. Uploading it, like this, would be very much illegal. Which begs the question: is it legal in the US to upload such images, without consent?

I'm curious. And I ask, because US politics has normalised what would be clear corruption in most other places:

Is the illegal part here spoofing Biden, or also a private company trying to manipulate the electoral process?

If its only the former, then, what an absolute shit show.

Yeah... Puuh. That's not a normal thing to say. If it's dark humor, and said with irony, it might be perfectly fine, and even funny. Because then, they don't actually mean it. But, if they do mean it? Sheesh. You dodged a poison leaded bullet.

I think it's also perfectly reasonable to say the truth instead, and replace "professional ethics" with "personal".

If they are appreciative of you, and don't truly want to do whatever it is that makes you the most comfortable or happy, they should be exposed to a learning opportunity.

If they get offended. Maybe they eventually figure out that, just maybe, you shouldn't express gratitude with selfishness.

Anyways. That's ny two cents. Say it as it is.

Until proven otherwise, I assume either ignorance or malicious intentions by those who want to rename these "problematic" terms. It does nothing to improve the actual issues.

The false pretense of having done something, is worse than doing nothing. It's just noise.

To be clear: I don't mind the changing of terms. I'm too old to care about trivial stuff like main vs master. But if the reasoning for such a change is dumb and potentially harmful, you've lost my respect.

Indeed. There is no one solution. My little island analogy was a bit too simple.

The main point is to reflect on what would happen when half the population falls outside a productive way to contribute with needs like everyone else: "Crime" skyrockets. The discussion society should have is whether or not the end result is acceptable: Half the population in poverty, and all that wealth consolidated to one family.

The sad thing is that this simplifies what is already the case. This is reality. If the average wage in the US was doubled, it wouldn't exceed anything more than the expected return for increased productivity. Which is insane

Isn't it called "rogue-like" because that last part of metaprogress was not in rogue? Maybe I'm confusing it with roguelite.
