Julian@lemm.eeto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Anon tries watching nu-TrekEnglish0·8 months agoDon’t get me started on ds9. A black captain? A trans lesbian officer? A gay interspecies couple? The federation using fear from war as an excuse to become a police state? Can’t believe they made my colorful space communism show woke.

People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I’ve used it and know many people who use it without any problems.
And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.
Of course this isn’t airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).
X11 has multi pointer but I have no idea how usable it is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multi-pointer_X
Julian@lemm.eeOPto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•As promised, I've open-sourced my exploration game (2 days ahead of release).English3·10 months agoIt should - I don’t have one myself but I had someone test it and there weren’t any issues. It has full steam input support too.

Julian@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?English141·10 months agoCsgo and 2 have a “trust” system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you’re more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.
Honestly there isn’t a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.
The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.
Julian@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Federal appeals court rules against Biden student debt relief programEnglish0·1 year agoI’ve seen people somehow complain about him not getting this done, but like it’s really clear he’s doing all he can.
You can also use offline mode.

Julian@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Biden Campaign Ad Calls Attention to Trump’s Felon StatusEnglish0·1 year agoBro wtf, I think it’s dumb not to vote too but you’re gonna call for eugenics? Even in the most generous interpretation where that’s a joke, you’ve gotta realize how bad a look that is.
Julian@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Four more states join US monopoly lawsuit against AppleEnglish112·1 year agoThere’s also general gatekeeping of their developer tools which restricticts ports of software, and not following standards properly (USBc, sms).
Julian@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Biden administration moves to ban medical debt from credit reportsEnglish0·1 year agoIt isn’t cynacle to say the president is doing things to get votes. That’s the president’s job - to do things the populous wants. That’s what a representative democracy is. It’s good for the president to do things that people want him to do.
Julian@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I make an image (or video) safe to post online?English3·1 year agoYou’re right - most media formats have support for metadata, which can include all sorts of things depending on how the image is created. For instance, most phones have an option to add location data to photos.
A lot of identifiable info like location data is usually an option you can turn off. And there are a lot of tools to remove metadata from files. A quick search brought up this, which seems fairly reputable (and open source, which is usually good for sensitive stuff like this).
Julian@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Internet Service Providers Try to Stop Net Neutrality in Court | Cord Cutters NewsEnglish711·1 year agoSounds like people with voting. They love to tell you how it doesn’t matter, and yet republicans put tons of effort into making it more difficult.
Julian@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Zelda 64: Recompiled, the Majora's Mask PC port v1.1 brings various upgradesEnglish3·1 year agoProbably not, but so far they haven’t gone after any recompilations.
Julian@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Zelda 64: Recompiled, the Majora's Mask PC port v1.1 brings various upgradesEnglish3·1 year agoI think the way it’s set up puts it in a similar situation to the decompilations, like the Mario 64 PC port. As long as they don’t distribute pirated material or openly encourage piracy, I don’t think there’s much Nintendo could do.
