Opinion: Games that have “linux support” but explicitly check for Steam Deck hardware should have a disclaimer on the store page or even have their Steam Deck verified status revoked.

Let me just check something on my terminal.

$ uname -sr
Linux 6.14.4-arch1-1

I’m suspicious.

This means they forgot platforms other than Windows exists. It’s likely they’re checking for currently supported systems and anything older is insecure, so blocked for your security.

Likely something like this pseudocode

function isPlatformVersionSupported(useragent) {
    // Windows XP is NT 5.1
    // Windows Vista is NT 6.0
    // Windows 7 is NT 6.1
    // Windows 8 is NT 6.2
    // Windows 8.1 is NT 6.3
    // Windows 10 and 11 is NT 10.0
    if (useragent.name == "Windows" && useragent.version.match(/Windows NT (6\.3|10)/)) {
        return true
    }

    // TODO: insert supported macos versions here

    return false
}

Sometimes I run the update command and there hasn’t been an update since yesterday. I think that’s pretty close.

Springboot was made by VMware? TIL

His do you misspell memes as mames?

Sounds like a gag from Monsters U or Monsters at Work. Wazowski tries to wink at someone, but just ends up blinking and he can’t do it no matter how hard he tries.

I bet you aren’t picky. Just the next flight out of the state is fine.

Buy a plane ticket (but buying a ticket offline the day of is suspicious)

Reading online fanfiction is free. Sure, the quality varies, but I can quit any time I want. I just don’t want to.

Searching the filesystem. There’s no reason Windows Search needs to access the internet. Fucking Bing.

The windows partition is bloat. Delete it.

You can smuggle imports using importlib.

Android’s biggest mistake was not enforcing vendors to port newer releases for older phones.

Android’s second biggest mistake was splitting and closed-sourcing the Play Services to fix their biggest mistake.

Just because the box says something is flushable doesn’t mean you should flush it.

I can even run games that don’t work on modern Windows, like Fallout 3.

I charge a consulting fee. If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
