Ah, I guess I’ll have to question why I am lying to myself then. Don’t be a douchebag. Don’t use open source without respecting copyrights & licenses. The authors are already providing their work for free. Don’t shit on that legacy.

That statement is as dumb as it is non-sensical.

I know both LLM mechanisms better than you, it would appear, and my point is not so weak that I would have to fabricate a strawman that I then claim is what you said, to proceed to argue the strawman.

Using LLMs trained on other people’s source code is parasitic behaviour and violates copyrights and licenses.

Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.

So you use other people’s open source code without crediting the authors or respecting their license conditions? Good for you, parasite.

And they are racist shitbags

Did you get it running already? If so, happy to have helped :) It’s a bit tricky to move your downloaded games into the jail so that you don’t have to re-download, I think maybe it’s just easier to download them again as you start playing them. I started with a jail right from scratch so I only ever tried moving my games files between different jails, that was easier (but can still be done wrong).

On debian testing (trixie):

$ cat bin/steam-jailed.sh

#!/bin/sh
firejail --private=/home/user/steamjail --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile ~/steam $1

Sometimes an update breaks something, and I have to experiment with the profile settings, for which it helps to launch a bash with the same jail and start steam on the command line inside the jail to see output messages.

#!/bin/sh
firejail --private=/home/user/steamjail --blacklist=${HOME}/.inputrc --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile bash

What happens most of the time is that a steam update depends on a newer system library that I didn’t yet install and I then have to do a system update - steam is shit at managing OS dependencies (i.e.: it doesn’t)

yes, and I know it’s less than perfect, but it’s better than nothing :)

and THAT, children, is why I run steam in a jail. Fuck the idea of giving access to my home folder or anything else under my user…

Honestly I didn’t mean to attack you, I tried to make some suggestions and argue some of your points :) My experience as a tech savvy user is that I regularly have to fight corporate IT for permissions /services that permit me to work at full potential, because they keep offering solutions for dumb users and for windows and microsoft based products only. I managed to break free mostly without being self-employed but it was a long uphill battle with stupid people telling me how IT works…

1. LDAP and / or Kerberos?
2. That’s what Enterprise Distros are for (Redhat, SLES, Ubuntu)
3. “Linux-ready sysadmins” is a hen-and-egg problem. If people keep maintaining a rotting Windows ecosystem, thus do not establish a market for linux sysadmins, less people will study in that direction.

Nevertheless, from my personal experience, corporate IT in non-software enterprises is full of clueless sys"admins" who just go by flowcharts and if that doesn’t help escalate to Microsoft support, and if they can’t help they close tickets as “use as-is”.

The website doesn’t allow interaction at all with my current ublock origin configuration. Not sure that’s a good sign?

Has YouTube experienced enshittification?

Trollbait much, dipshit? :P

Mobile one absolutely. And they make humans more stupid and the world worse.

So how good did I think my point was? VR is an artificial hype, especially in a time where almost all major game releases lack in story and already put way too much money into graphical effects. It’s a gadget.

let me be the one to say: the only people who “need” VR are those earning their money with selling VR products. No one else in the whole wide world actually needs VR.

Ease of adoption (or appearance of)

Thank you for acknowledging that point. Because since Win7 or so, Almost all major Linux distributions are shitloads easier to learn that any windows environment, no matter how unfamiliar you are with Linux. Basically, all major desktop environments behave like an optimized WinXP desktop.

Tesla should be broken up and reassembled with zero overlap in management.

And yes, legally it won’t stick, but the shitty south african oligarch should absolutely be tried for murder.

Are you victim blaming the killed murdered pedestrians?
