Vibe coding is not enough, we need vibe vision now. Next step: Vibe glasses for the real world.

I don't think you understood what I said, because no one is talking about killing people. There is no excuse for having public lists of humans to be blocked, because they are a bit weird or are connected to weird people. Just because one person has this opinion. Its extremely dangerous, because most people look at the list (because they don't know these persons) and believe and follow it.

Have you not learned a single thing past human history (not only internet)?

I just wanted to ask the other user about the compatibility breakage issue. It was breaking with every update of the Steam Beta and I had to rerun the installer for the plugins. I really like the plugin system, but this breakage is annoying.

The Big Art mode is not so much different from the regular Home screen. It just puts the "camera view" more up, so that only the games are seen in a list below (the same list you get in regular Home screen) and the bottom news are now out of the view. You have to click down to get there. I always wanted to have this, because it bugged me how cluttered the Home screen was. Feels more like how it looks on Playstation now (never used modern Playstation, just judging from images).

I'm just explaining this, because you may have misunderstood it from the description. I don't know if there are other changes, this is just what I personally have noticed.

Wow, I did not expect that verdict (still need to watch the video). I respect Skill Up and think he is well articulating himself and his reasoning are often valid.

I also ignored Ubisoft games. Not all games they publish had all this crap BTW, but you could count the interesting ones on one hand.

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 hours ago

I wouldn't mind additional launchers and accounts, if it was optional without hiding core game elements behind it. A game must launch and the base game be playable on Steam without additional online DRM, software launchers and account requirement. For single player games that are fine to play offline.

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago

I agree with you 100%. I just brought it up, because it proves that there needs to be a solution to the problem and this is an attempt to solve the issue (at least somewhat). I am not an advocate for DMCA system, because it is misused easily.

I also have to trust the community in order to trust the system. But no community can help you, if the maintainers doesn't do their job well, after you got pawned. There are lot of Open Source projects and operating systems I do not trust.

And yes I also get what you were saying with the media comparison, I did not try to invalidate your personal opinion by claiming the comparison wasn't valid. I understand you were trying to make a point by that. I just didn't want to go too far away from the topic, as this happens too often. So my apologies for the tone it may had (not sure how to put this into words). Also thanks for staying productive in the discussions, with political stuff involved this gets heated up very quickly.

My story

I started with Civilization 1 on Super Nintendo. Amazing game, worked well with gamepad optimized port, but loading times were abysmal in late game. Won all matches by domination. Later played Civilization 2 on Playstation 1. Won all matches by domination too. This time loading times were even worse, to a point I stopped playing because of this. My next game in series was much later when Civilization 5 came out on PC, then later Civilization 6. Both great games. Its the first time I won by other means than domination and the loading times were not an issue anymore. Just purchased and downloaded Civilization 4, which I will try out after posting this.

Edit: To clarify, my question if this is still Open Source wasn't meant literal. But more like "is this software still in the spirit of Open Source?" type of question. The better question would be probably, if we should allow this behavior or not.

Also saved it on Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20260902183330/https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/issues/438


So this issue is brought up by me over 2.5 years ago, and nothing changed since then. The issue is now the in top 3 highest upvoted Issue on this repo. At what point is it still open source, if it downloads without your permission a proprietary component that is used to run the software?

It connects to Google server and downloads Google Chrome. One user reported this process cannot be stopped with Ctrl+c (I didn't try that). It does not ask your permission to do so, and on the README nothing about this was (and still is) disclosed. All I asked is to add an information in the README, so anyone is warned and informed about this before installing. After over 2 years, none of the developers and contributors even acknowledge the issue or any comment whatsoever.

Note: vhs is a terminal application to record input and output of your terminal commands, to replay them later without video recording. Cool project and concept, but this is a no go and to me even malicious.

Original project its based on is larfingshnew/3d-controller-overlay, which didn't have an update in 2 years and does not support Steam Deck or the new Steam Controller 2026. Recently a fork appeared Khyretos/3dco-plus that does what I want it to, supports the new controller (and other controllers and has different layouts for displaying the mappings) and has a ready to go AppImage for Linux. It also supports Gyro and Touch, and even Keyboard and Mouse.

But this fork is heavily Ai assisted (the original was not). The developer assures us this is not vibe coded, but carefully examined and understood before doing changes. Now I'm in a position where I initially didn't want projects heavily developed with Ai, but this tool does exactly what I want it to and there is no alternative. I want to share it here anyway, so you can decide for yourself.

Small games and somewhat similar to gameplay of Vampire Survivors. I didn't play yet, so cannot assist with opinions about quality and if my description is accurate.

Edit: A user found the issue and clarified its an issue with the website using placeholder pointing to localhost, probably when developing. This old post title has been changed from "An accounts profile causes a localhost Port Scan on Firefox" to "A website causes a localhost Port Scan on Firefox" to reflect the new found information. Solution here (a reply in this post): https://lemmy.ml/post/51842257/27445377


Post in question: https://lemmy.ml/post/51833596 which links to the actual "problematic" webpage: https://radicle.dev/guides/user

A ~~users account / profile~~ post causes a localhost Port Scan (attempt) on my Firefox, when I either open the page or even when posts of the account are listed in my Subscribed feed view. I just noticed this because I have an addon installed that blocks and notifies me about this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/port-authority/ The addon lists port 3000.

Is this something to be concerned about?

Edit: Removed the link from this Post URL, so it does not cause the Port Scan to others I was reporting here.

Another one bytes the dust. Vex is a YouTube (gaming oriented) tech channel with over 200k subscribers. He just switched and started his journey to Linux. It's a 46 minutes video, so there is lot of coverage. I think its always interesting to see of someone switching to Linux and documenting it in public, especially someone with lots of followers (OK its not a PewDiePie... but still).

Video description:


I've had this Windows laptop, the Zephyrus G16. It is fast, has a beautiful display, lightweight, well-built... but it runs Windows 11. That has always been nagging me that it is holding it back, and I have only heard amazing things about Linux for the efficiency and customizability. So let's see what it can actually do.

0:00- Windows
2:27- why stay?
5:49- THE DISTRO
7:32- installing Linux
11:20- onboarding
16:29- attempting a game + Davinci Resolve
20:45- idle power consumption
21:53- window management is incredible
24:12- fixing the brightness
24:52- Davinci Resolve... STUDIO
27:13- choppy audio
27:52- webcam is ugly
28:31- adding 120Hz!
29:24- DLSS Upgrades
30:17- boot times have been BAD
30:37- GPU switching sucks
31:12- it keeps freezing
32:02- modding a game
32:25- playing a WINDOWS game, but not in Steam
32:57- My Pros
34:34- my downsides
36:30- GAMING vs WINDOWS
41:37- creative apps...
42:33- my experience
44:09- am I keeping it though???

First, sorry, the video is a year ago from Apr 7, 2025. But its just too good to not share. This is a real video from official Microsoft account, not a fun Ai generated fan fiction.

I just found this video and right now cringe so hard and have a hard time watching it, because of the cringe. Satya Nadella sits there with the phone and talks to Copilot, and instructs the Ai to lead the interview with questions to the previous Microsoft CEOs.

I,... I can't...

Edit: I am also not so sure if this is staged by them, and its actually not Copilot but a software prepared with questions that acts like Copilot for the videos. But that is my personal speculation. Just thoughts while watching it.
