Fuck that tabloid, the Daily Mail… but there was the guy who was attempting to mod his robovac so he could control it with a PlayStation controller. The AI he was using to help ended up giving him keys that let him remotely access thousands of robovacs, including their cameras and mics.

CHOOSE THE FORM OF THE DESTRUCTOR.

A penis in the hand is worth two in the bush.

lutris -d will run it and print debug messages to the terminal.

I think the root of the problem is that updating changes what WINE and Proton versions are being used, even for games that are already installed. That pretty much negates what most people are using Lutris for. (WINE prefix management)

“Don’t you guys have multimeters?”

Someone gave me a sticker with this graphic. I immediately slapped it on the breaker box.

Someone suggested the program Warehouse to me, but I haven’t tried it. On Arch, I still had the version I wanted in my package manager’s cache so it was a single command.

sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/lutris-0.5.19-9-any.pkg.tar.zst

If you are using the flatpak (Bazzite, Steam Deck, etc.) unfortunately, it’s more complicated.

1. Exit to desktop mode.
2. Open Konsole (it’s in System in the main menu).
3. If you haven’t set a root password yet, run passwd, make it reasonably secure and don’t forget it. I believe setting a root password enables the Deck to be controlled remotely over ssh with said password. Be safe.
4. Run flatpak remote-info --log flathub net.lutris.Lutris. Lutris was installed as system for me. I think that is the default, so probably choose 1 for system if it asks.
5. You will see a commit with the subject “Update Lutris to 0.5.20”. The previous version is in the list right after that. Note that hash of 64 hexadecimals.
6. Run sudo flatpak update --commit=19ee79d455b8e50f057911a2bba279efcb960ee6d565f794e9c9d41c290dcd14 net.lutris.Lutris, supply the root password, and accept the changes. (Use the hash from step 5.)
7. Run sudo flatpak mask net.lutris.Lutris and supply root password to prevent Lutris from being updated. We will probably have problems in the future when the flatpak environment gets deprecated, sudo flatpak mask --remove net.lutris.Lutris would allow it to update again.

It’s completely a coincidence that all games are no longer working in Lutris here, on multiple machines, after upgrading from 0.5.19 to 0.5.20. Weird.

I downgraded and everything works again. I did not try 0.5.22 or the quickly removed 0.5.21.

Molesters All Granted Amnesty

Oh, sorry, I just saw that you wanted wrong answers only.

I don’t see a “shitty massive preview” in Voyager.

Yeah, they don’t bring their stuff around for help anymore. They’re probably afraid I’ll wipe it and install Debian. 🤣 It’s been a long time; I’m an Arch fiend by now.

“I’m trying to save the world from ancient evil reincarnated; can I get a discount on the hellfire flamberge?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Do you have any interest, then, in 99 monster guts or single-use tents?”

“Shut up and take my gold!”

Epic Fury…

E F…

Epstein Files?

Makes sense. As a nerd of many interests, I usually pronounce English as “Angle-isch” to see if anyone picks up on it and can tell me some interesting European history.

GameShark (confirmed); or save data backup to PC and hex editor, in theory. I don’t think there was a DC DexDrive and the console’s security didn’t get totally defeated until a couple years later, I believe.

Wikipedia: “The studio has been a part of PlayStation Studios since 2011.”

Oof. I looked it up and it’s even worse. Some hackers were even Resta-killing and dropping glitched money in the lobby. Picking up glitched items (black cube) or getting killed in the lobby can corrupt your save file so you lose your characters.

I was asked by a friend of the family why I had to “mod” everything, “You make it all so it doesn’t work right!”

…because “working right” in this day and age is a privacy nightmare, a security disaster, and relinquishing your rights, duh! Then I asked her how much the lawyer cost to understand what she’s agreeing to in all the EULAs of services she’s signed up for just to make things “work right”.
