First paragraphs in the article

Writing a package manager is not one of the most common programming tasks. After all, there are many out-of-the-box ones available. Yet, somehow I’ve found myself in exactly this situation.

How so?

I’m a big fan of SQLite and its extensions. Given the large number of such extensions in the wild, I wanted a structured approach to managing them. Which usually involves, well, a package manager. Except there is none for SQLite. So I decided to build one!

Streamers, news articles that are shared on reddit/SoMe and “leaks”

Defending them from what? You haven’t brought up any real arguments for why Steam is relevant in this scenario. You’re just lashing out for no reason.

I didn’t know valve sells you hardware that locks you to steam

First segment: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tWlnVVbtNwc

Digital foundry did a segment on it, certain issues will occur regardless of hardware. You might be lucky and not as sensitive to stutter and frame time fluctuations, but I refuse to believe you got the game running perfectly without showing a frame time graph to back it up.

I’ve seen someone playing games at a highly inconsistent 20fps without really noticing the issued, so please excuse my skepticism when you say you got it running perfectly. I’m glad you’re happy with it though.

apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of “reasons”?

It’s performance is atrocious, it clearly needed more months to get out of alpha stage.

I rarely play games nowadays and even more rarely new games. Baldur’s Gate 3 is the first one that comes to mind in recent years.

You’re missing out on some great experiences that indies simply can’t produce in that case

Yeah, Geralt and Yen “dies” and may or may not be saved by Ciri’s power at the end of the series. Ciri is the pivotal character in the story, Geralt is really just there trying to find her.

The atmosphere of game 1 is incredible, but it might be a bit dated for most people, especially the combat system. You can perfectly start with any of the 3 games without a problem.

Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.

I think they limit it to upvotes for normal users

University students get free pro licenses for jetbrains IDEs I think

I’m fairly sure that the people who developed a fairly revolutionary piece of technology are not your typical “vibe coder”. Just because you don’t like LLM doesn’t make the feat of developing it less impressive.

They could easily fix the problem if they cared.

The problems are mostly not about GPU power, but awful CPU performance it seems.

Unreal Engine 5 isn’t all that great when it comes to utilising the CPU. What CPU do you have and on what settings are you running?

Asking out of curiosity, haven’t bought the game yet.

It’s just a variation of typosquatting as the author themself acknowledge. I always have to double check the package name when installing a new package. This just seems like a natural variation of it.
