“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Yeah. Luanti following Minecraft is nothing new. Mineclonia was an early pilot game for the engine.

But there hasn’t been much effort on copying Minecraft lately. Mineclonia is done, and it’s great.

We’ve had more mobs, animals, plants, textures, and such than un-modded Minecraft for a long time. (Which is unfair, as Luanti is a mod-first design.) But my point is the core Launti dev team doesn’t have to work on any of that.

The most noticeable recent Luanti updates have been to make the configuration screens much nicer, and add I think to add native support for more graphics tricks?

I’m not paying attention to graphics in Luanti. As others have mentioned, that’s not why I play it. I actually had a conversation recently about the best way to downgrade Luanti default graphics to match un-modded Minecraft.

That said, the Minecraft team taking notice of Luanti would be new, as far as I know.

Yeah. I’m sympathetic to the whole “technology is hard” thing, and the idea that the SteamDeck is primarily meant to be for mobile gaming.

But switching from Nintendo Switch to SteamDeck really highlighted to me how good the Nintendo engineering team is, that I never had any of these display issues with a docked Switch.

Yeah. It’s really that bad. They’ve been releasing quality of life patches, but Valve made a portable device that happens to support docking, not a device meant to be docked.

Based on your experience, I assume you have the official Steam Dock, which I find worse to use with the SteamDeck than any random USB C dongle that I have tried.

Edit: Be sure to check for updates. I recall some of the issues you mention (like the blank screen) were mentioned in SteamOS release notes this year.

research papers that require a strong background in mathematics and cryptography to understand and implement.

Lol. I guess that makes sense. Outside of school, we hope that all authentication will be implemented only cryptography experts anyway.

Could you maybe suggest some resources on this topic?

Not really, sorry. I’m not aware of anyone creating resources for your situation.

Or should I choose a simpler project?

For some context, cryptography isn’t even usually implemented “completely correctly” by experts. That’s part of why we have constant software security patches.

If I were in your shoes, I guess it would depend on my instructor and advisors.

If I felt like they have the skills to catch mistakes and no time to help correct mistakes, then I would just choose a simpler project. If they’re cool with awarding a good grade for a functional demo, I might just go for it.

I guess I would take this one to an advisor and get some feedback on practicality.

When I get home I may post them.

I would appreciate that.

No way in hell would i ever own anything from Meta/FB.

Well said.

Of the games on this list that I have, they are, indeed great

Now I’m going to look away and pretend to forget, because I do not need to buy more games for my unplayed backlog, today.

I would welcome a price-subsidized SteamDeck hack kit…

Doctor Monkey-for-a-head remembers!

Yeah. I do think Spyro is a platformer. It’s a bunch of things, but I would have a hard time arguing any genre fits it better than platformer.

Edit: Also, great choice.

Holy title gore, Batman.

But anyway, hooray.

“We have some exciting news to share: our talented developers gave Steam Deck players the option to play Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch; despite initially announcing we wouldn’t be able to support until later,”

Edit: We just wanted to deny that we’re not not going to do the thing at said we wouldn’t not be able to do.

I mean, you’re allowed to test it before it and iterate goes to review, though.

And reviewers can be allowed to merge stuff that’s “good enough”, and the iterate.

“Mom, I want Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Remastered.”

“We have a skateboard game at home.”

is there a way to move commit out of the way Todo later?

This is what cherry-pick does for me. Now that the work is all done, I can cherry-pick the commits into the new branch in any order I find convenient (and often in an order that causes fewer git conflicts, or no git conflicts to resolve.)

Note that this approach is much stronger if the original commits are fairly focused and purposeful.

In extreme cases, I stop and rebase the new or old branch to clean up the commits before I cherry-pick them onto the same branch.

In essence, all of these techniques are just ways for me to very slowly and methodically organize thoughts, using git.

Also, sometimes it’s all too messy and I just copy and paste all the change I need into a fresh clean branch.

Ultra wide gaming works fine for Luanti, lol.

(Which has vanilla Minecraft level graphics. I’m just trying to make you laugh with this comment.)

My ultra wide monitor has worked perfectly from day one on Linux.

Currently I’m running an LG and Gnome 42ish, if I recall.

But Linux has had excellent support for ultra wide monitors since before I started being able to afford ultra wide monitors.

Whatever you do, familiarize yourself with git reflog. It contains all the commits, regardless of your current branch state. Even ones you might think you lost. (For about two weeks until it cleans itself up.)

In your shoes, I usually abort the rebase and start a new branch and cherry-pick the commits I need.

It takes awhile, but it’s reliable.

Source: In my overconfidence, I screw up my local git state pretty often.

It sounds from the way you phrased this like you feel that every IOT device is just a ticking time bomb waiting to become a malware and privacy nightmare.

If so, as someone with some Cybersecurity expertise, I just want to say that is a reasonable conclusion supported by all of the data that I’m aware of.

The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00. Apple made $18,000.00.

The original creator made ~$2,000.00, after TikTok comments pointed people to the original.

And

“Apple encourages the parties to a dispute to work directly with one another to resolve the claim.”

Apple facilitated theft, and owes this developer $60,000.00 if they lose in court. But they know they don’t have to lose in court, because they can spend $6,000,000.00 or more on lawyers, forever, to set a precedent to discourage others from suing.
