Hello there!
I'm also @[email protected] , and I have a website at https://www.savagewolf.org/ .

I'm curious, would running the Flatpak version of Steam "fix" this by providing its own glibc?
You know, for the people that want to stay on an old glibc yet are also comfortable with using Flatpak.
I wish then luck, but I think a big thing about this administration is a disregard for due process and law, so I don't see this working.
The mobile and PC gaming markets are very different, both in terms of monetisation and what games people expect to play.
If Valve wanted to get into the mobile games industry they'd basically be starting from scratch, and I don't think it's a market they're particularly interested in.
You're also assuming that buying a game on PC steam will also give you a license to play that game on android, which isn't a given. I think many games have completely different monetisation models on mobile vs pc, so sharing between platforms like that wouldn't make sense.
Fun nature fact: Their horns act like lighting rods to provide a safe path to ground so as to keep the electricity away from their internal wiring and plumbing.
You know, I think a society of chickens probably would have no qualms with eating their own eggs, since irl chickens do. I think irl chickens'll eat everything.
Also, depending on your definition of it, I think these would be considered vegan eggs? Since consent by the animal was given?
For my main desktop I use Mint because it just works, widely supported and Cinnamon is good (sadly no Wayland yet. ;_;). I also use Home-manager for my configuration because it allows me to easily just specify my config as a set of files I can check into git.
For my server, I use NixOS, because having all my configuration in a few text files is very nice to get an overview of what my server is doing.
I see lots of people recommending immutable distros to new users as if they are able to debug the inevitable breakages that occur or difficulty installing external programs.
For me, 70% of the time this is usually just "you need to practice to get okay at it". Effort.
Bishorb.
It's the directory that needs to be writable to delete files, not the file itself.
Although the immutable bit (if that's what you're talking about - I thought you meant unsetting the write bit) might change that, I'm not sure.
For anyone nostalgic about video game manuals, I'd recommend the game Tunic and going into it as blind as possible.
When you get a message, but it's from the Fediverse Chick.
The home directory would need to be immutable, not bashrc.
I don't think that actually works; the attacker could just remove .bashrc and create a new file with the same name.
Server side anticheat needs to be tailer-made for every game; you need to have logic that understands how your game plays and what conditions mark a cheater.
With the kernel level client anticheat, you only need to verify one thing: that the user hasn't modified the game files. It's not 100% effective, but it's effective enough to keep script kiddies away.
I mean, bait aside, creating a new distro with an existing package manager allows you to set up a different set of default packages and even add your own new/updated ones. That's the value of it there.
If I wanted to self host a search engine, I'd just use a proper one that actually searches content rather than regurgitates bullshit.
Search engines worked just fine until Google and Microsoft decided that they wanted to sell their AI products.
Honestly, I'd go as far as to say that any social media platform above a certain size should allow custom clients/API access.
If you want the official app to be telemetry ridden AI powered slop, whatever. Just let me use an alternate client to skip all that and customize it to my liking.
Only Bedrock is predatory, Java edition was released before Microsoft got their hands on it.

Wild Assault: A Furry Battlefield Game
Wild Assault is an anthro-themed tactical shooter built with Unreal Engine 5, featuring large-scale battlefield gameplay centered around Valiant abilities. Work closely with your team, harness your instincts, and charge into battle to secure victory.
Been playing this game a bit. Can't comment on how good it is compared to actual battlefield, but I've been having fun.
Currently in (free) beta, not sure how long they are doing their playtest for though.
A very specific question, answered very longwindedly.
Interesting piece of webdev solving.
Critter Cove: A furry animalcrossinglike

Stumbled upon this game and had fun with the demo. Might be up some people's alley.
How much do Americans actually pay for healthcare?
Hey all, I'm British so I don't really know the ins and outs of the US healthcare system. Apologies for asking what is probably a rather simple question.
So like most of you, I see many posts and gofundmes about people having astronomically high medical bills. Most recently, someone having a $27k bill even after his death.
However, I have an American friend who is quick to point out that apparently nobody actually pays those bills. They're just some elaborate dance between insurance companies and hospitals. If you don't have insurance, the cost is lower or removed entirely. Supposedly.
So I'm just asking... How accurate is that? Consider someone without insurance, a minor physical ailment, a neurodivergent mind and no interest in fighting off harassing people for the rest of their life.
How much would such a person expect to pay, out of their own pocket, for things like check ups, x rays, meds, counselling and so on?
Know any good pinball video games?
I recently played through a demo for a game called Pinball Spire on steam, and it put me in the mood for playing pinball games. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is just due to me having bad google-foo, there don't seem to be that many on Steam that catch my interest.
So figured I may as well make a thread asking about what the "state of the art" of pinball video games is. Some of the ones I've played:
So yeah, know any good PC or console pinball games?
Oh, and can someone help me: I vaguely remember seeing a stream of a pinball game for the Mega Drive/SNES where the ball goes through multiple tables. Does anyone know what that
Have you drank enough water today?
Hydration is important.
Would you move to another country?
So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering... How many people would want to move to another country?
Just to provide a concrete scenario, let's assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.
They're able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.
What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?

Protogen meet photoshoot
Not my photo or mastodon, but figured it would be worth sharing.
I love the cardboard visor.
Are you "out" as furry?
So this is something I've been thinking about a bit recently, and I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the matter.
Lets suppose you meet someone, and chat socially with them. Maybe a work colleague, maybe a friend met through a friend. You aren't that close with them, but you get the vibe that they aren't a bigot or judgemental at the very least. If the conversation turned to furry stuff, would you tell them that you like furry art?
Do you keep a different set of non-furry socials for your irl friends and family? What about having a furry profile pic on your work slack? Or your Github? Do you try hard to make sure that nobody will be able to find your secret furry double life if they know you IRL?
I guess, in essence, I'm wondering if you draw a hard line between your "sfw furry life" and your "IRL life".
I just stumbled upon Accell's art
Stumbled upon this artist on bluesky ( https://bsky.app/profile/accelldraws.bsky.social ), and their art is adorable.
Not sure how well known they are, but look at how soft everything is!

Has exercise helped your mental health?
Just a simple question to those of you suffering from depression, anxiety or are just going through a tough time. Now or sometime in the past.
Have you tried exercising, and did it help? What kind, and how did it make you feel?
Advocacy and those with severe difficulties
Content Warning: This is a post detailing arguing with a friend about ND rights. It's probably going to cover topics of discrimination, eugenics, conversion therapy/ABA and other serious topics.
Hey. So I have this friend, let's call him Woof, who I'm close to. Like, close in an almost-dating-but-its-complicated way. I find it difficult to find new friends, so basically he was the only real person I could lean on and confide in as a friend.
Due to various things, I've kinda gotten emotionally invested in the whole neurodivergence movement thing recently. The idea that things like autism should be treated as diversity rather than disability.
Woof... Doesn't see the same way. He works as an ambulance driver and as such has seen a lot of people who have all sorts of difficulties... My understanding is that he thinks the whole ND movement thing is a bit naive and ignores some people who really need help and support.
It's something we've butted heads about before, but it's gotten really

You've all probably seen this before, but posting anyway because I want to see this community become a repository of furry webcomics. :D
It's a comic about two people being gay and adorable together.

I recently stumbled upon this screenshot while researching social media on the train. Of course, it was followed by a cascade of spiteful comments, criticizing this fresh programmer’s attempt to solve a classical problem in computer science. The modulus operation.
Looking for advice/sympathy about anxiety
Hey autistic peeps. I'm not really in a great space mentally right now, and figured I'd ask if anyone knows of any good coping mechanisms or tricks or whatever.
Anyway, some background. I'm one of those perpetually online types with no real irl hobbies. As you probably are aware (because Lemmy), there's been a lot of disruption in the online space recently. There's also been a fair amount of disruption in my personal life which I shan't go into. Kinda tempted to make a post here or /c/mentalhealth detailing my woefull history, but I'm not sure if there's interest.
Anyway, the main thing is that since May, I've been struggling with anxiety, and been kind of letting it rot, get worse and pull in other things. It's at the point now where it feels a bit overwhelming and it's actively getting in the way of my thought patterns, which is as scary as it sounds.
Through talking to people (including friends who I really appreciate taking the time to put up with me) about it, I've been able to
