Is this GTKs fault, or the app developers, or your distribution? Or maybe you misconfigured something.

I probably am bad at web searching (don’t do this long enough and don’t use Google either). At least this was a learning experience for myself, so its not totally waste of time for me. And maybe someone else can look in the code and learn. Now I see there are alternatives available, such as

pacman -Si python-crc32c

Nothing. I wasn’t just aware of that program. It never popped up when I searched online or when looking in my system’s package manager searching for “crc”.

crc32 is very common amongst emulation and roms. While often they provide md5sum too, crc32 is a bit faster on bulk.

Agreed on your points and usually I do 2. (name) and 3. (exit instead else) sometimes. For the [[ over [, it usually matters only for word splitting and globbing behavior, if you do not enclose the variables between quotes I believe. But looking into the shellcheck entry, looks like there is no disadvantage. I may start doing this by default in the future too.

So thanks for the suggestions, I will update the script in a minute.

Edit: I always forget that Beehaw will break if I use the “lower than” character like in , so I replaced it in the post with cat %%EOF which requires to change that line. And the example usage is gone for the moment.

Edit2 (21 hours later): I totally forgot to remove the indentation and else-branch. While doing so I also added a special option -h, in case someone tries that. Not a big deal, but thought this should be.

Torvalds drama is at least some “drama” with flesh and bones, with a good reason behind it. Not a ghost drama for no reason.

If you read the conversation, its clear that Lina is toxic for no reason. She needs to to out and touch some grass.

Just a thumb of rule to make sense of it: A column in AWK is by default any space separated part. You can change the column separator to any other character too with -F ":" in example would be a double colon. There is also a way to print all columns, but with certain exceptions. In example print all, but the third and fourth columns: ls -l | awk '{$3=""; $4=""; print $0}' . Admittely I forget this syntax often and have to look for it again.

A perfect example when to use AWK.

Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).

Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.

It depends, there are no hard rules. I have a preference for the native package manager with pacman and repository of my distribution. I also would like to use AUR more often, but it depends who is maintaining that package. It also depends if there is a Flatpak available. Some AppImages have an auto update for itself, so I download it only once and use the applications own update functionality manually.

The good thing about AppImages are that they usually don’t require super user privileges to install (in other words use) them and I can also archive them very easily.

You can bet it will have micro transactions like a free to play game, but with an additional premium full price on top of it.

I agree, this is the real impact of Ai. It won’t replace developers, but make them work for less money. But I actually think real programmers will be even more needed in the future, if there is ton of bad code written by non coders with Ai or even by real coders with the support of Ai. That means we get more code, that needs to be reviewed and worked on by real programmers.

Therefore on one hand it will lessen the money earned for real programmers, on the other hand they will be more useful and needed in the future.

Better is relative. Also its unfair to compare one species (car) against many possible specialized species (cars). In example you don’t need to repair an expensive car, you don’t need electricity or oil and fuel (and many other stuff). Depending on where you are in the world, a horse might be “better” suited than a car.

If you want debug code, then hopefully it isn’t written by an Ai agent. Otherwise good luck (besides simple functions or code blocks off course).

Ai isn’t replacing coding either.

The guy who wrote the article watches too much porn. The more you watch and see and experience something, the more you will see it everywhere.

Is it actually proven this to be a real prototype made by Valve?

This is one of my main gripes with the former Twitter discussions. Its not just for more space, but it makes text content in an image unindexable and non searchable (unless expensive Ai tools are used).
