  • Most code I forget too. For a lot of stuff I might vaguely remember when looking at it but some I would deny ever even having seen even when I wrote it (that happened). However, there are some rare parts I could probably still navigate from my previous company and there are some in my current. Really depends on the connection you have to the code.

  • I would like to point out that they are free to modify the source code before building the binary they distribute. Being open source does not mean protection from secretly stealing data.

    With chrome it is obvious because the closed part is called chrome and the open is chromium. But it is certainly possible to not make "stealing" magic on top public.

  • One very simple things I try is updating the glorious eggroll proton version and force-use that. Changing the proton version sometimes (especially switching to an older one) requires deleting the compatdata (wineprefix folder) of the game.

    Calico

    Heads up: this is a bit of a test-giveaway to test if I am capable to do giveaways (and if this stuff even works).

    The game is Calico bought on Green Man Gaming redeemable on Steam. Sending the GMG gift code strongly preferred.

    At time of purchase, region lock was stated as "This product has no regional restrictions".

    You can enter by commenting something nice directly under this post.

    Rules of the community apply. Additionally, the history of the account will be checked to make sure you are not a bot, shitty person in general, and similar stuff.

    The winner will be chosen under full discretion by me. The time frame of the giveaway is as long as I personally feel like it or fits in my schedule or whatever; in other words: undecided. Maybe 2024-12-15T23:00:00Z if there are (valid) contestants by then.

    Depending on how this goes there will be more giveaways of "more interesting" games. This is ef

  • Well, in essence yes. But I have seen enough mishandling and homegrown stuff of custom date-time calculations that this could get interesting. I suspect that there are a lot of systems where the TZ database is never updated which at least will result in shifted displayed local time.

    Also, it is fun to get data from old programs and also from userinput where the actual offset has to be guessed from the timezone. And if that conversion data is old, fun is had. It does not matter how time is represented internally in this case.

  • For some very weird reason it never crossed my mind, and I really do not know why, that I could invest in a huge healthcare corporation whose target it is to provide as little healthcare as possible. But your comment made me think about that that is possible to do.

  • I am somewhat in a similar boat. I have like one to two friends left and also looking for a partner. I never go out and only stay at home.

    I know that this is definitely not for everyone but rather for a small minority, but I found and joined the furry fandom. They are loving and welcoming and so put my hopes into them. There is a high chance that there is a local meetup in your area but I have been too shy to attend yet. Instead, I opted straight for a convention which I think is a better starting point for me because it is more anonymous. Note, that this is just a suggestion since the convention did not happen yet and I am looking forward to it patiently.

  • I read of such stories once in a while. Sadly, I cannot relate because I always played singleplayer games back then, so I missed out on that. But I would like to add that joining pve world events in guild wars 2, there is some chance that there are people chatting publicly like they have known each other for a long time. Not sure what is is worth, though, but it always give good vibes to work together. Me playing mostly wvw (pvp) we (me and my friend) somehow found some likeminded people who invited us to their private voice chat and talk there while playing together. It is not very often, but it is a start, I guess.

    Not sure where I was going with that but I though I add what I could I guess. Thank you for reading!

  • It's cool but as soon as I need to move I am out. Moving is inconvenient at best and nausiating at worst (for me). So that does not leave me with a lot of possible games. Edit: I am sure that is the same for most people.

  • We slowly need to interface with an app at work that uses fixed-width too. It does not sound that bad if you hear it but it sucks to figure out where you are missing whitespace when most fields are not used and therefore all whitespace. Oh, and of course there are a lot of fields, also are aligned/formatted differently based on their type and has thin/no/wrong documentation. And I have yet to find a simple but decent "debugger".
