Source can be destroyed. An alternative screenshoot backup/proof is good measure. Especially in web its better to not depend on an outside server.

Like if they close (or some billionaire buy them and requires an account for everything), your content becomes worthless.

Why no ones seems to remind this person that they are using a GPL V3 software? Like they say "you broke my stuff you should have fixed it within a day" while in the same time the license state (scream?) all over the place :

Kayinworks - I Irrationally Hate RetroAchievements

I like achievements. I usually won't hunt for them but the little extra gratification is nice. On Nintendo games I'm not really missing them...

But on games I like and I "finished" (killed the final boss / beat the last level / ...), I most often can't get myself to play them anymore since I have no goal anymore. And this is at that point that I sometime choose to chase achievement to 100% a game (extending its lifetime).

I could also look online for what's hidden that I did not do... but the achievements are already tailored to my playthrough and may give hint "spoil free". Online guides both spoil the puzzles and the reward...

The Lua community needs to learn to move on - hisham.hm

Are there migration path for projects embedding a LUA version? Or is LUA incompatible between version?

Like if I build a plugin for a project in LUA 5.1, and the project want to migrate to 5.5, are there forward incompatibilities? Are there API deprecated for long enough to let people migrate?

As an observer I don't understand why "once you choose a version for your project and a plugin ecosystem develop on it, you are married to this version".

Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?

Reply in thread

Just use this one... or any of this 4 others.

This is the issue for us, python outsiders. Each time we try we get a different answer with new tools. We are outside of the comtunity, we don't know the trend, old and new, pro and cons.

Your first recommandation is hatch... first time I've heard of it. Uv seems trendy in this thread, but before that it was unknown to me too.

As I understands it, it should be pip's job. When it detect I'm in a project it install packages in it and python use them. It can use any tool under the hood, but the default package manager shoud be able to do it on its own.

New Runtime Standby ABI Proposed For Linux Akin To Microsoft Windows' "Modern Standby"

SteamDeck's isn't the same at all. It is a fake sleep: "Go to sleep but you can finish downloading whatever you need before" (inside the steam software, outside of it it has no idea).

On OLED screens you get to have the screen powered off. On LCD we see the screen is still powered. Maybe they just turn the brightness to the minimum and send black color of pixels?

Anyway, once the download queue finish, the SteamDeck goes to proper hibernation and does only get to wake up when using the power button. Not at any notification or when a background process want it like I see explained on comments in this thread.

Edit: The SteamDeck version looks a lot more like the "Finish the update and restart/shutdown/hibernate button"

I don't say "remove the source", I say "the source can disappear, the way back machine have already been attacked, just do your own copy of the source and make it available".

I know screenshots can be faked, but if your news source does it it is not reliable. Drop it immediately.
