Doesn’t Windows leave program files and data all over the place too?

!linuxphones@lemmy.ca and !linuxphones@lemmy.ml aren’t the busiest communities but there do seem to be a few people giving it a proper go

As if an exe could truly understand unix socks

Interesting, does that mean there is just one primary account and to be part of a family group with it you essentially can’t have your own account or purchases?

That’s probably because it’s a PC game that was ported to phones!

I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It’s not like it’s completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they’re distinctly different things and saying “gets kicked out of school” would be way less ambiguous.

Yeah but that can be done after you’re finished, definitely shouldn’t be part of planning!

Is “blackout” a bingo term for filling every box, or just falling unconscious from overwork?

Because if they don’t then you can essentially just give a game away, and that means less sales

How would you make it so you can only share games with your family? As in what technical definition of “family” would you use that can’t include your friends?

Americans call uni “school”

Sounds like it’s no more DRM than the limits of a physical cartridge, right?

Brand new account immediately starts spamming about cryptocurrency “games”? Seems legit.

I was specifically thinking of the guy in bed with the really long arm!

If you’re wanting to build a game, do it for you and not someone else. It’s going to be a difficult and thankless task, so make sure that you are enjoying the process!

Well professional developers are often employed by companies that want make use of open source code to sell their proprietary code. It seems more likely to me that those companies will instruct their developers not to work on any GPL code rather than some big ideological shift in the individual developers.

A long time ago I worked on a project which had all the user-facing text strings in their own separate file (for ease of translation). I didn’t think much more of it at the time, but even if I was just rubber-stamping this PR then seeing that a code-only refactor was touching the strings file would raise an eyebrow.

Same principle as a former burglar who now installs security systems or a former soldier who now works as a bodyguard. You’ve got the skills, you just want to use them in a different way!

That’s an incredible username!
