i love the idea that you think it's any safer running pirated software because "it's exe so it won't run" even though you are literally running it to play said game

see you in a week

A game that preloads all of its assets into RAM hoping that there's either enough ram for the whole game or that the swap file is large and on a faster drive than the game is stored on

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:18 AM

older games do load assets directly into ram when it's cheaper than streaming

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:18 AM

but not swap, that's nonsensical

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:18 AM

there is kinda a reason most games demand x amount of RAM upfront

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:18 AM

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:19 AM

It would have to be horrible programmed to do this

ive tried coming up with a joke about this for like 2 minutes straight but this is so dumb there's not even a joke to be made here

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:20 AM

oh i short circuited on that one too dw

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:20 AM

like..... :hmmm:

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:20 AM

A virus could run through wine afaik

Muko Tabi•7/8/24, 12:21 AM

I just realize bazzite have resilio sync on the setup window

Muko Tabi•7/8/24, 12:21 AM

rare stuff

MMervius A virus could run through wine afaik

halva•7/8/24, 12:21 AM

there's nothing about wine that would make it unsuitable for running malware

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:23 AM

it doesn't implement a lot of stuff certain malware would rely on but it definitely isn't automatically safe to run random discord token stealers under WINE

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

it takes a lot of hubris to just assume you're safe with zero prior knowledge

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

If it tries to do stuff not supported by wine, it might have an issue doing full harm

halva•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

i mean like not in the sense it's impossible

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

yeah the thing is a lot of stuff isn't doing anything unique

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

So I was in here a couple days ago, or maybe yesterday, asking about sunshine being sideways, and I was told it’s because it’s poorly coded and because it’s expecting x11 and someone linked to this issue

why i cant disable frimetime on mangohud? i edited the conf and put the # after the option

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

you are very much still at the whims of whatever software you ran

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

Thing is, it says right there, that the issue happens in x11 too

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

But if you just want to encrypt or steal data from the computer's userspace

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:24 AM

thst shouldn't be an issue

MMcromae Thing is, it says right there, that the issue happens in x11 too

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:25 AM

And it’s on Bazzite

halva•7/8/24, 12:25 AM

in any case if someone really would decide to be to be a bit of a jokester and prankster they could just write malware that wine would support

MMcromae And it’s on Bazzite

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:25 AM

This doesn’t happen on SteamOS, which uses x11, so it’s not a sunshine problem per say

Mervius•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

Have a call that wine doesn't support to detect you're running under wine then change how you function to accommodate

MMcromae So I was in here a couple days ago, or maybe yesterday, asking about sunshine be...

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

it is an issue with sunshine / wayland in that the wayland capture is immature and won't account for this regardless

Muko Tabi•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

I think malware nowadays have vm detection, so researcher have a hard time learning about it, so if it's in wine then I think it might not run well due to vm detection

PPez it *is* an issue with sunshine / wayland in that the wayland capture is immature...

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

It happens in x11 too

MMcromae It happens in x11 too

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

x11 not working is weird but sunshine should at least be able to compensate in some way or other people wouldn't report otherwise

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

“Sunshine from ujust setup-sunshine also tried from dnf
Same problem when i try x11 :0”

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:26 AM

there are literally people in the thread you posted saying it works fine under x11

halva•7/8/24, 12:27 AM

by just not using anything it doesn't/can't support?

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:27 AM

I thought y’all were jettisoning x11 though?

PezOP•7/8/24, 12:27 AM

not trying to put you down or anything but it is sunshine's lack of maturity around KMS capture that means the rotation is a problem under wayland

MMcromae I thought y’all were jettisoning x11 though?

exactly

Mcromae•7/8/24, 12:28 AM

Like, I use old stuff that can’t be made to run on Wayland, IDK, I don’t think Wayland will ever make parity and I still don’t get the push

i love the idea that you think it's any safer running pirated software because "it's exe so it won't
