Without the standard file hierarchy (which can be enabled), most executables straight up wouldn't work. The linker and standard library .so files aren't where they're expected to be.

This sounds like something Uwos Lab would do.

Yeah.

Called it. Removing the ability for a device to connect to its own debug bridge was the obvious step after crippling sideloading.

My bingo card also includes:

• Removing the permission for the pm command to disable preinstalled applications and services at the user level.
• Preventing implicit/default permissions from being removed through adb.
• Requiring registering with Google as a developer to enable ADB at all.

Fuck you, Google.

People don't like tracing what something is doing across seven 12-line functions spread through multiple files?

They can't even write regex properly.

The only difference between ([0-9]+)? and [0-9]* is that the latter actually readable.

Yes, optional. As in, the developers have the option to optimize their games despite publishers pushing for cheaper development and shorter deadlines knowing they can get away with instead adding proprietary black box generative models. And you, as the consumer, have the option to either pay inflated prices for a product launched on paper or to instead choose to enjoy motion sickness while playing a game at 20 frames a second.

Keep kissing that leather jacket, fanboy.

When you call them out on it, the excuse is predictably some version of "we're doing it because they did it first", using hate speech as the example.

More importantly, who the fuck is anthroporphizing AI?

How to give a graybeard an aneurism in 4 simple words:

The obvious outcome of this is an army of juniors making the cut solely because their tasks were to update package.lock.

He is not a lizard man. It's right in his name, Tom Hu—er... Homan.

• Check for the existence of Z:/etc/os-release and parse it
• Check for the steamDeck environment variables set by Steam
• Check that the current account's username is "deck"
• Use assembly to directly perform a Linux syscall that would crash the application on Windows but not on Linux.

It still can't guarantee that the system is a Steam Deck, but combining all the above is reliable enough to that it would be easier to write an assembly patch for the game than to spoof all of those checks to pass.

That being said: any developer who adds an achievement just for playing on a specific piece of hardware deserves to be kicked in the groin.
