In the case of BF 6 and fornite it’s “could run, but we actively don’t want you to”.

So I recently updated pop from 22.04 to 24.04. The only real headache I’ve had is running games through proton. Games now start in windows, which might not even show up at all until I super + F11 to full screen it. The mouse gets stuck in either a corner or the middle, sometimes the cursor works in the menus but stops working on the game itself. Gamescope can fix some of these issues, but alt-tabbing is always an adventure if it breaks the game or not.

An annoying thing is it is very hard to figure out where an issue lies. Is it wayland, is it Cosmic, is it gamescope, or proton? Any tips or tricks people might have would be appreciated.

It’s a shame, because I want to like Wayland. i don’t know what magic system 76 worked in x11 but the only issue I had before was some tearing when moving windows around. 2 monitors of different resolution and framerate with nvidia.

It’s windows. And we don’t see the rest of the command (that would include the path) it’s likely it included the flag to remove files, as it was actually trying to remove a whole project.

i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

Hadn’t heard of those before. I’ll give them a looksie

The only issue with man pages is that it often doesn’t cover common use cases. I know info pages often have that kind of information, but it’s hit or miss it they exist.

Now I’m curios of the camera used. The lack of motion blur is impressive.

We had a great saying in a team I uses to be on: “Write good code and hope no one notices”

The first time I accidentally lost a number of files was when I wrote a script to rename some images from the format ddmmyyyy to yyyy-mm-dd. But I put the parsing and saved the variable only once outside the for loop, so all files ended up overwriting each other. Learnt my lesson to run untested scripts on files without a back up

I see what you mean, I’m with you now.

I don’t know if they changes the answer to the question, but it now says name@example is valid.

Squad works fine for me on Linux. Performance is no worse than it is on windows. I need to add a caveat that I haven’t tried the new UE 5 builđs of the game yet, so I can’t comment in that.

Cool. What’s the destination of my phone on the desk?

Hm, whenever I’ve tried to get it running on both windows and Linux there just a black screen. But thinking about it, there was seething about some USB devices causing that. Maybe I’ll have a second go at it

If someone can get Ground Control 2 working again, I’ll name my first born after you.

I don’t need a project to explicitly say they are DEI inclusive, I generally don’t care who is contributing, but when you explicitly state you are against it in the README of your project that is just wild. The only divide I’m increasing by saying I don’t support or respect people who choose to, and makes it very clear they are, excluding people based on diversity is a divide they’ve created for themselves. Especially when it’s a fucking open source software project, like wtf does DEI have to do with it that the owner has to bring it up to begin with if not to intentionally hurt someone.

What? You might want to think about what you said for like 2 more seconds. Why on earth would I not hate or even help someone who aligns themselves with a Nazi? You can absolutely hate the creation of a tool based on the political reasons it is being created.
