will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in
Today I learned that. It never came up for me since I do most of my game shopping on my phone. That could be really helpful later.
Thank you!
I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.
“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”
Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.
But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.
I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).
If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.
It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.
Oh. That makes sense, I play mainly on SteamDeck, but I’ve been thinking of getting a Steam Controller for my PC, since the majority of what I’ve bought in the last year has been “SteamDeck Verified”.
It’s been tickling my brain that “SteamDeck Verified” badge also makes it a lot easier to tell how a game will act with a controller on PC.
I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some.
I’ve never been anywhere that I thought it would work, but it ultimately did, almost everywhere.
I’ve found it takes a few iterations, but the marketing folks in on it love being the ones who actually can reliably deliver on their promises.
It doesn’t work for the marketers that promise whatever they please without talking to dev, but I don’t find them to be worthwhile professional allies, so I don’t sweat it.
It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.
Very true. It doesn’t help with that case, and that one does happen. I’ve had the best luck saying “we don’t do that, but we’re scrambling to add it” in that situation.
The stupidly easy solution is to just give them stuff that has already been successfully delivered to production to market, 9 months from now. There’s invariably a huge backlog of years worth of successes that marketing wasn’t even aware of.
“No deviations will be approved from this year’s Agile product roadmap!”
“extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy,” got me. It’s perfect.
Also, your username is perfect for this moment.
I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.
My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.
Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:
“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”
and how we could have achieved it all with no written records.
Our religion prevented using doc strings or code comments of any kind. What little software we had that actually worked correctly probably was aliens, come to think of it…
Yep. This is the way.
Good point.
I’m willing to accept a reality where the science magazines are constantly excited about every development in helicopter technology.
In the pull down area where flashlight and Bluetooth toggles go, GrapheneOS has options for disabling the camera and microphone.
Sounds great, but I can’t find “bouncer” on either the F-Droid or Google Play stores. Anyone got a link?
And virtual reality gets a free revival every other technology, while we’re at it.
I’m predicting VR coming back into the limelight, try again, shortly after everyone loses interest in AI.
Also, I’m still pissed that flying cars aren’t in the limelight more. I was promised daily updates, and I’m not seeing them. That’s the biggest proof that the media is completely disconnected.
I’ve seen this sentiment before, but I’m waiting to switch until I learn how to add the microphone and camera quick toggles included in GrapheneOS to LineageOS. Is there a project for that?
It works fine for anyone with the foresight to be born into an ultra wealthy family.
Yeah. But it’s still rare to see “no unicycling” signs so the unicyclers need to get on that.
The mantra that got me through JavaScript was “almost nothing we do here is able to be synchronous”.
Everything about the language makes more sense, with that context.
Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.
We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.
We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.
