The runtime is not Steam itself. That’s more or less independent from the runtime. The runtimes are a collection of libraries that developers can develop against without having to include them themselves.
Kind of similar to the Visual C++ Runtime on Windows.
If you can wait 3-4 months Valve’s Steam Machine is on the horizon. Depending on the prize that might be a good bargain.
But in the end it really depends on your budget. Excluding monitor, keyboard and mouse you can pay anything between 500 and 5000 dollars.
That seemed to be the plan. Make it super modular to enable customers or third parties to easily create modifications.
It does, now that the Cloudflare outage seems to be over.
Ironic.
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
Technically they were pre-releases and 1.0 is the first proper release. They’re also talking about maybe giving guarantees about API stability and security backports with 1.0.
I’ll honestly have to wrestle with myself not to install 1.0 as soon as it’s released instead of waiting for 1.0.2.
This reads liks satire of Ubuntu reimplementing sudo in Rust.
What are you zinking about?
I think they’re deep in testing. So it will still take a while.
Next one will probably be called Avatar: Earth Rising. Followed by Avatar: It blows.
🤞 I really hope Lemmy 1.0 will improve this stuff. 🤞
It’s a program to download stuff from the web. It is very flexible. You can tell it to use cookies, post form data, upload and download files. It can do basically everything a web browser does without a graphical user interface.
It is built into many software pieces. And developers love it to test stuff.
There already are working plugins for that. When I @ a Lemmy community in a WordPress post it gets posted to that community. And comments from Lemmy or Mastodon are also visible on WordPress.
The script would place its own version of sudo in your $PATH and wait for you to enter the password. Then it has it and can do what it likes with the information.
Then it’d just tell you “wrong password” and forward you to the real sudo so that you can keep on working like nothing happened.
Edit: Or even better, pass your own commands to take over the whole system to the real sudo.
This is the way.
I mean, so say we all.
We’ll see ARM Steam before 64bit Steam.
No, it’s for running games on Linux. Steam will probably use the libs as well for its own functionality. But the main use is for game developers to target specific libraries so that they are independent of the user’s distribution.
And they can indeed be used outside of Steam as well. I sometimes use it to link in specific libraries for other games. @[email protected]
