To a lot of people it’s difficult. Vendor lock-in, support, cartels (the old kind) and familiarity are very important factors in choosing what you’re going to use to compute things.

We should embrace the new ones and build things that they are going to use.

Is dxvk and vkd3d enabled in lutris? Maybe bottles will help you if it doesn’t work in lutris. Protondb might be good to see too.

Edit: just saw this, there’s a wine DLL override that might fix the game (in lutris you can config it on the wine configs) dinput8.dll=n,b .

Like the guy saying bottles works, this tutorial show how to do it easily with it.

The prefix is where the “windows” system is, the default is a .wine folder on your home folder (if i’m correct), if you enable seeing hidden directories and files it will show.

What game are you trying to run? And can you test installing the packages (the .net runtimes and the vcredist) using a wine-staging from lutris and running the game with the wine-staging? You can install it from the download, on the Wine section on the left of lutris.

Install an all in one packages (visual c++, etc) (or this for .net too) into your wine prefix and run the repacks (like fitgirl or dodi) like in windows.

Put dxvk and vkd3d-proton on your wineprefix (automated like with cachyos or manually downloaded) and maybe create a lutris application to just select the exe to install the game.

Edit: Also jc141

Edit 2: Added one link for the .net ones, run the wine cmd for these packages and they autoinstall all the gaming dependencies, so you can install almost any games. Also, you can install dependencies (like those needed by some games like skyrim) using winetricks.

Edit 3: Updated the link

Yeah, I know. I just use it as “from this, I did this, so make the same process for this thing”, they statistically only try to guess the next token, so they are only good at these “from this work, do the same thing here”. The buggy code that I commit is artisanal, the tests are just copying from other tests.

Yeah, using the corporate version of chatgpt (Microsoft Copilot), it was a huge leap, Gpt 4 was dumb as hell, Gpt 5 is average in intelligence. I hate LLMs, but it makes my unit tests and help me debug the java magic at my job.

annas-archive.org?

Majority of people didn’t want him and don’t want him again, like with Trump, but only one of them got reelected.

Here in Brazil, one person means one vote, no districting, no gerrymandering, none of this things, one vote for the president is one vote, one vote for your state senator is one vote, one vote for your deputy is one vote for them and their party (in this part it’s weird, but makes sense that the politician also represents their party, but creates effects like “party gerrymandering”).

Bolsonaro went into house arrest yesterday, so this could mean something.

how come that they can circumvent them?

Copilot writing all the unit tests and passing, while the unit tests don’t test anything or test the wrong thing. Passing the wrong thing to the services that consume their services, so it seems it works, but the service downstream just doesn’t work anymre.

Oh, now I understand what you said and agree with it.

Just annoyed, I have some important work to do and then bam, a Teams call on the code we wrote and they broke. I would like to propose some help for them to understand better their system, yes.

I showed an error to them, as their project is having a problem with the mock that I have built (for better managing and testing the dev environment) for the entire system and might cause very big problems when encountered in prod (very probable it will happen when the project will be used more, in some time in the near future), they didn’t fix it, it was encoutered 1 month ago.

Talking to the boss seems a bad idea, yeah.

I’m thinking about doing a teaching session with the whole team (for the whole project), to explain things in the grand scheme of things of how they work, this might help with what each part of the code does. The project is huge, but the teams are medium sized and we are hiring a lot of people, so it might be good for all to know a little bit more.

The place I work has all that and even more, I think these kinds of errors that happen make upper management even more draconian with the rules (and we already have A LOT of rules).

If resources are going from one team to another, and they have separate management, that damn well better be coordinated through your boss. At the very least C.C. at the start and end of the project.

It happened inside their project, not in communication with our part of the whole. It happened communicating with the code we wrote for them, but we didn’t explain our code to them, so it might be a little bit of our fault, even if it was in the documentation and the tasks that were provided to us, the json was part of the documentation.

Hahaha, thanks!

Yeah, I feel it might be a management issue too.

Unfortunately, everyone knows about the other team, but I feel they aren’t guided by their boss, Idk but I heard that they are lost on the project, but on that Idk how to help, but at least I expect them to test the code they produce, some of them test, but a lot of them don’t.

I’m going to try to help when asked, but it seems they need more senior devs (I’m only a junior dev) or some form of “training” for their project.
