Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Bazzite install failed at writing EFI partitionEnglish
2·3 months agoThis might sound rather stupid but, have you tried having a separate /boot partition, alongside /boot/efi? I think just having / and /boot/efi is not enough for Fedora and its ilk.

Games@lemmy.world•Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI UsageEnglish
21·4 months agoIt has to be more nuanced than “self-published”
It doesn’t need to. Definining it as “self-publishing” is enough.
otherwise everything EA craps out is “indie”.
And because of the above, EA games might very well fit the definition, yes.
This clearly shows that maybe we shouldn’t use “indie” to describe good games (or the lack of it to describe bad ones). It should just be used to define “means of publishing”.

298·4 months agoThe fact that they were there in the first place is a problem.
Why does a game that has been published by some other company calls itself “indie”???
The term itself is becoming more and more meaningless with the passing time.
If a feature needs a button to disable it, it IS opt-out, not opt-in.
You too are falling for their bullshit, as well as to my blocklist.
plonk
Since when a kill switch means “opt-in”???
You are falling for their bullshit.

Games@lemmy.world•The game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble BundleEnglish
4·4 months agoExcept this particular ban happened in 2023, way before the paypros got in the scene.
Along with the official release date of the game (December 2), the statement revealed that Horses was indefinitely banned on Steam in June 2023 – days before it was set to premiere on IGN’s Summer of Gaming event.

Also here is a gamedev saying that they’ll sell their game for a cheaper price on EGS: https://twitter.com/HeardOfTheStory/status/1700066610302603405

If what you saying was actually the case I am 120% sure Tim Sweeney would be all over it lol.
Lastly, there was ALREADY a case like that (Valve vs. Wolfire). The courts couldn’t find anything regarding Wolfire’s claims and then dismissed the case.

Games@lemmy.world•Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% markEnglish
3·5 months agoYou forgot the part where the installer fails just right before the end. Every time.
Had this occuring on both my laptop and someone else’s that I was trying to install Bazzite to, which resulted in installing Fedora on their laptop instead (and back to EndeavourOS on my end), and even Fedora’s new installer errored out too. Thankfully the OS was working though.
I am suspecting your 6th point for that one, which even if it wasn’t I consider it a colossal failure on their part because it is NOT TELEGRAPHED AT ALL. I shouldn’t have to stumble upon random forum posts to learn about it, come on.
What about Fooyin?

65·8 months agoI love how people immediately downvoted you to hell for this lmfao.
Like yeah, the guys on the comments: only people use rm -rf, absolutely no scripts use it at all. Something like motherfucking STEAM absolutely didn’t remove people’s data that one time. And hey, their so beloved
--no-preserve-rootdidn’t prevent that from happening. :DI love and currently use Linux, but my GOD some Linux people are annoying.
If something like
del C:\*.*somehow ended up deleting your D: drive too, we wouldn’t stop hearing the end of it, but here on Linux systems, it is a perfectly normal thing, and people somehow DEFEND this atrocity lmfao.rm shouldn’t exist at its current form. Full stop.

Steam@lemmy.ml•Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes
10·11 months agoValve literally told the guy who spread the news on Twitter that they do not use Twillo as a SMS 2FA provider at all: https://twitter.com/MellowOnline1/status/1922458687316074640
Good on TechRadar for actually bothering to mention BleepingComputer’s article about it, but they still didn’t mention where the news originated from.
It all began in this LinkedIn post, which wrongfully claimed that the “leak” was coming from Twillo (Also funny is that this is an AI company): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/underdark-ai_cybersecurity-databreach-steam-activity-7327022917370703872-JqN3/
Then the Twitter guy got involved in it, then the “news” sites ran off with what the guy on Twitter said.
Lemme just quote this insightful comment in Steam subreddit as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1kmeoqo/steam_doesnt_use_twillo_no_need_to_change/ms9n1xx/
To clarify why changing your passwords is basically pointless
- Steam does not use Twillo for its MFA implementation. Twillo doesnt store the keys for the MFA implementation.
- Twillo doesn’t store passwords, meaning even if you assume Twillo was breached, it has no passwords to leak.
- Twillo only has a centralized MFA app similar to Google Authenticator. Again this does NOT STORE PASSWORDS
- If Twillo was compromised, the only possible vector would be an SMS hijacking attack, and that’s IF Steam uses Twillo as its SMS intermediary
- If we assume #4 then, which is a stretch, CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD IS POINTLESS. Its attacking the SMS network. You can change your password every other minute. The attacker can simply generate and SMS code and take over your account that way. Your password is pointless in this scenario
- If you are ‘paranoid’ and want to do something ‘actually useful’ remove your phone number from your account, which still again makes a LOT of assumptions above everything tl;dr changing your password is pointless, remove your phone number if you are ‘paranoid’
Change your passwords if you want to, but there is no need to panic.
Btw, selling 89 MILLION Steam accounts’ data for just 5000$? Really???





Bro thinks they did enough after trampling on the artist’s work all over.
Fuck off.
