I never understood the point of letting agents do commits. Like why don’t you just fuck off at that point?
Oh no. The Lutris that I could never get to work with anything. How will I survive?
On my system it was the only thing that actually managed to get the Battle.net launcher to work. Sigh, time for another hunt for an alternative I guess.
Faugas launcher works great
Thanks, but unfortunately it fails to launch Battle.net for me. Not really in the mood to debug that further at the moment, guess I’ll stick to other games for now.
Weird, haven’t had issues with it. What version of proton are you using in the settings? I think I’m using the latest GE Proton.
This author’s takes on “who owns the code” and licensing are pretty sketch
Fuck. I like Lutris better than Heroic but this is making me reconsider.
Same, Lutris always worked easier for me
I tried so hard to like Lutris, but I’ve never managed to get it to work in any way. It actually lead me to dual booting win10 just to play some games before steam really doubled down on running things
I’ve seen a flood of threads about this in the last couple days, and I honestly just don’t care.
any alternatives that ain’t heroic?
Plenty. Faugas and bottles both come to mind
Whether or not my game manager was built using LLM assistance is pretty near the bottom on my list of concerns at the moment.
Considering how useful tools like Claude are to coding, and how easy it is to hide the fact that you’ve used it, I just assume any and all new software I interact with was built using LLM tools.
Which brings the question why bother to hide it in the first place
Because coding is hard work even with AI assistance, and people who don’t code will judge you the loudest and longest and meanest for using AI to make the work easier. I personally suffer rejection sensitivity dysphoria so I understand the emotions behind their actions.
But yeah, everyone just ignores the years of coding work this person did for nothing just to help people enjoy their games, to crucify them for using AI and then having feelings about getting yelled at by the very beneficiaries of their prior work.
It’s not like they’re stripping out or reimplementing contributions and taking the project closed source, like BookLore. People need some damn perspective.
With “30 years in programming” he could just say “fuck off”, but I am guessing not everyone is equipped for that. Using AI for good causes sits OK with me, but not recognising that something needs to be done at a higher level (set boundaries or just drop/find successor for the project that costs too much for him) - no. And I don’t like these slaps in the face
No no no you’re supposed to reach to the right and stroke the next guy. Every negative aspect of this glorified chatbot’s brief history can be blamed on a volunteer making Windows less relevant. If there’s a single line of Bad Code then the whole thing is ssslop! and that label will surely keep hounding people away from openly using a tool that kinda works.
