    As long as you make sure he can breath unobstructed. People who buy these breeds willingly and then don’t even have a vet check their breathing (I know from dogs they more often than not can’t breath through their nose without surgery) should honestly be treated like animal abusers. Same with Sphynx cats (though those unfortunately can’t be treated to have fur again…), I do not understand what’s wrong with people sometimes, is their empathy switch turned off or sth…

    I’m advocating for changing the system.

    Then aim better and stop taking cheap shots at devs. Those with a backbone get systematically shamed and cut, the same way “annoying voices” from engineers in countries with a corrupt construction business / politics get dealt with. In IT however the damages are way more abstract while a collapsed airport roof is something tangible people immediately understand just by looking at it. And as mentioned, in comparison it’s an extremely young profession lacking prior collective knowledge or bad examples. Do I even need to mention that the biggest software companies and ad companies are either the exact same company or part of the same structures (not to mention they’re tight with one of the biggest governments who outright alienates former allies), so any alternatives can be systematically fucked over?

    And there are Software Engineers who really try, sometimes in places like the EU where a real chance for change exists. But the ad industry and mega corps with an army of lobbyists are still fighting back, and you’re not helping by attacking devs for supposedly not having backbones.

    You’re taking shots at those trying to deal with this shit show while staying financially afloat, then pretending you’re actually on their side to immediately play the victim. You can’t be damn serious.



  • Don’t blame the dev for what the system lacks. We took millenia to get here for buildings and had rich people and politicians literally falling through floors drowning in shit before. Software is relatively new and gets extorted for maximum profit while slow-moving projects that try to do everything right get shamed (and usually extorted since doing it right entails Open-Source, which now gets laundered through probability engines). There are effectively no guardrails devs can use to protect something from bad ideas management has, and management is on an AI-induced power trip right now.

    In such an environment actual buildings would also be made out of paper and have surveillance cams in the subscription-based toilet. I’d bet someone from a country with a corrupt system and lack of regulation enforcement could tell you tales about it. I think you were just lucky.





  • It’s really important to make sure it keeps running though. Without them having a proper QA pipelime for Proton the game might just stop working at any time after the tibiest update. Or even worse, EAC perma-bans you from a game you paid for. And them not dealing with Linux or Proton, having no clue how to differentiate between translation layer and malicious interception, refusing to unban. Wouldn’t be the first time this happened, so official support for competitive games is pretty much mandatory.
