Think AI is pointless when it doesn’t apply to you?

Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?

Clash of Clans is kinda safe in this, nobody cares anymore if they get attacked as there are now so many ways to farm resources that got added after the game started dwelling in the player count.

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

• Let’s say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
• Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
• But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn’t work on this version. The older release of the library then get’s abandoned.
• Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
• Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

Where I live they always call because we don’t have mail boxes, so they have to give the parcel personally and they call to see if you are home. If you aren’t they don’t ship it to you that day.

I got banned from Aliexpress for refusing to provide a phone number to a web page fully in chinese, and they didn’t specify why I needed to despite them claiming a phone number isn’t necessary to order

Sakurai is now starving because we uploaded an image of a Pokemon on the web. How can you be so mean?

Unfortunately I don’t have an external link about it, can only pin point a quite lenghty conversation and support request I had with a couple of the PCSX2 developers that happened in their Discord server. You can jump to the start of the conversation (if you are in the PCSX2 Discord server) using this link.

The conversation started after I asked them for support for the render window not taking the whole screen when attached to a 4:3 monitor, and told me about why they don’t support at all PCSX2 installs made my Emudeck. Duckstation appears to also not support Emudeck for the lack of cooperation from the project.

Emudeck is heavily discouraged and unsupportorted by a good number of emulator dev teams for refusing to cooperate with them. Emudeck builds configuration files for you, not shying away from not recommended settings and causing issues in some emulators and games.

Also, some emulators have their source code edited and the changes are not documented/not public.

Damn I have to consider those. Using the terminal with the screen keyboard is pain due to missing keys

One of the refunds reasons you can select is “the game doesn’t run on my PC”. This is completely valid.

Its definitely something that can be added by the side of the instances, not in general in the main Lemmy branch.
