If there’s no getting started section I usually go on GitHub to see how other projects use the library or API.

Reading the API docs with no prior knowledge or context is hard unless they’re very well written.

I think you’d like syncthing

I can’t even get this game to work on an actual windows install

Updated, my bad.

There are reasons to use this service that are completely legal. They should sentence the people laundering money, not the people providing privacy tools that happen to be misused.

The goat of game dev content

I pirate a bunch of VSTs from audionews.org. It’s private but they give away 10 invites a day in their telegram. You should be fine just pirating stuff older than a few weeks by trusted groups like R2R since malware will get taken down (if it gets detected). Personally I think the risk is tolerable but it’s obviously never 0.

1 and 2: Just pirate. Any company that disrespects the user by enforcing DRM like that deserves to lose out on money.

I don’t know what NowTV is but sometimes you can bypass restrictions like this by using an extension that switches your user agent to chrome on windows.

All the rest: Yeah… It sucks… Most of these issues would be solved if enough people used Linux to make porting stuff a worthwhile investment. It’s a chicken and egg problem but I’m hopeful with the ongoing enshittification of Windows. Surely one day enough people will be tired of eating shit and finally stop doing it.

It’s a step in the right direction

TIL about windows kiosk mode!

I can understand it from the perspective of the developers who need to implement all this crazy tracking/advertising/graphics functionality, but imo a vending machine should only do three things:

1. Let me see what is available (preferably using glass)
2. Accept payment
3. Give me what I paid for

Vending machines have done this for decades without requiring an operating system. Keep it simple!

Yes of course Linux is a fully fledged OS, my point was a vending machine should not need any OS, my bad if I didnt make that clear

Makes sense, but a vending machine shouldn’t need a fully fledged OS in the first place imo

I love how vending machines run windows now

1 billion dollars over pirated music? Who pirates music amymore
