Lovely article.

You’ll also need to approach this guide with an open-mind. If you start off angry or feel like this is an attack on you for using (and maybe even enjoying!) GitHub, then you should come back once you’re in a better headspace. This is merely a detailed guide on how to achieve a solid set of feature parity between GitHub and SourceHut.

I didn’t feel attacked at all till I read this, ironically. The rest of the article made me go right back to feeling unattacked.

Most of my games work right out of the box, and the ones that have problems are ones that I’d also have to fiddle with for more than a 1-minute check to ProtonDB are ones I’d have to fiddle with on Windows. However I also do not touch anything with online multiplayer or anticheat, and I know games with kernel-level anticheat tend to not handle Linux well on anything but a Steam Deck.

I swapped a PC I had mostly for gaming over to Linux. I’m having a pretty nice time.

As for piracy, I know pirated games that need to be emulated because they are originally Nintendo Switch games or something work well. No idea for pirated PC games.

For what it’s worth, if you didn’t tell me English wasn’t your first language, I would not have known from this comment.

I shoot for this but am detectable by constantly making edits to make my point more understandable, adding something relevant that I thought of later (literally editing this post right now to include “adding something relevant that I thought of later”) or to correct typos.

Stenberg, saying that he’s “had it” and is “putting my foot down on this craziness,” suggested that every suspected AI-generated HackerOne report will have its reporter asked to verify if they used AI to find the problem or generate the submission. If a report is deemed “AI slop,” the reporter will be banned. “We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help,” Stenberg wrote.

I appreciate this because I’d hate to get my issue removed as AI slop because I wasn’t enough of an asshole and didn’t make enough English mistakes. All for rejecting AI slop but it’d feel bad being the false positive deemed “not human enough” and getting my efforts tossed out too.

I may or may not be one of those autistic people who tried to compensate for my social deficiencies and inability to read the room by doing my best to be polite, nice, and inoffensive. (It helps that those qualities do not conflict with who I want to be at all.) And “nice and inoffensive” helps you easily subclass/multiclass into corpo dialect…

!books@programming.dev for programming books would like this

If you want to learn the stuff necessary for that certification, here’s a document, the WAS Body of Knowledge listing what you need to know and maybe where you can learn that. Less detailed version in the WAS Exam Content Outline.

Seeing a lot of posts like this did help push me to actually make the switch instead of just talking about doing it someday.

could you tell me what book it is 👀

I’m probably part of the problem because I got the survey on my Mac and not my Linux machine…
