I’m not defending petty mods BUT if they make a community with rules, and they say “no” to a user (for any reason) and the the user doesn’t believe that “no means no”? Yeah, I do agree anyone trying to operate a safe community should not allow people like that anywhere near.

This is a right wing tabloid

Lucky Patcher can often remove the requirement but obviously you can’t update it.

Oh I meant like, an official github repo. I wouldn’t ever recommend getting an apk from some random site.

Your TV might have the Steam Link app meaning you could stream directly without needing the deck in the loop. If the TV is connected via Ethernet then latency would be even better.

I don’t have a good answer, I recently switched back to the Play Store. Sometimes apps you wouldn’t expect are open source and you can update via Obtanium so it doesn’t hurt to check.

Welcome to the fediverse, half of us are here because we nuked our reddit accounts in protest and the other half are here because reddit finally IP banned our account.

A fun game is to try and figure out which user is which (its not really a fun game)!

I’m confused about some of these. For example everything you mentioned in the torrent agent (maintaining ratios, watching for new media, seeing what’s popular) are already settings in the *arr suite that uses significantly fewer resources, no?

there’s a home assistant front door agent that can make automations or report sensor state or trigger scenes or entities

This is all basic functionality of Home Assistant, yes? I’m confused about what is the agent is doing?

I’m exhausted from writing poetry all the time I want something that can do that for me.

What are the agents doing for you?

What does it do? I thought about trying this but I literally never have a need to generate text.

Oh sorry, sure yeah I wasn’t talking about careers. I was only speaking of volunteers specifically. Claude is cheap right now but when it becomes full price I don’t think most people doing video game decomps will want to pay for it.

Is that just a feeling? Because my feeling is that the foss movement is entering a golden age even when you take into consideration all of the slop coding getting posted

Sure yeah I guess if you want to consider a single video game community shutting down to be “widespread repercussions” you certainly have that right, but I don’t think we’ll be able to find common ground on this topic. Have a good one!

This looks awesome though I’m disappointed Kate Mugrew isn’t doing an Irish accent.

So I don’t disagree, but at the same time I also don’t see many people relying on these vibe-coded apps, or including them in crucial points within software stacks. For example if a vibe-coded Mario Kart decomp project gets orphaned it doesn’t really have widespread repercussions.

Eh, I’m really not worried. The decomps are interesting as a proof of concept, but they really really aren’t very good, and once the VC funding runs out and the vibe coders have to invest actual money, you’ll see a big decrease in these decomps and vibe coded apps. The world of foss will largely return to the hands of the people who actually care about the quality of their code.

Honestly, what would be nice is for a community like this to serve as gatekeeper with high standards for decomp projects to meet. Sure 99% won’t make it in but who cares?

I know we’re in the Wild West days right now but eventually things will settle. If the foss community can find a way to make torrents organized safe and accessible they can do anything.

Is there a step by step tutorial for this you know of?
