But here I am, with a Claude Max 5x subscription for the past year and a half. I’m not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. I like it, and I want it, so I’m using it. Maybe that’s morally questionable, or worse. But, as I said: here I am.

If you truly had principles and were uncomfortable with it, you wouldn’t fucking use it.

It’s a tool, like any other.

It is quite literally a tool unlike any other in many both measurably and unmeasurably bad ways.

Interesting that this is a completely different program to the Windows version. I wonder if this is also going to replace that one at some point and we just got it early?

The Launcher is required to use Jagex accounts (unless you want to use the third party Bolt launcher, which works fine) instead of old, insecure RuneScape accounts. The latter is also being fully discontinued for actually logging in to the game, so this is them properly supporting Linux again before that is enforced.

Both the website (looks like average AI slop website design) and the GitHub link in the footer really suggest it is tbh.

There was a brief time there where I thought even Xbox was doing pretty good shit. Backwards compatibility and the Xbox Adaptive Controller come to mind. With the latter especially, I feel like that was a lot of R&D for a relatively niche product. Nowadays, idk wtf they’re doing over there besides constantly fucking up.

It really is quite amazing how fast its gone completely to shit. The site is so fucking slow so much of the time. I’ve started moving my projects one-by-one to a Forgejo instance I control, the main hurdle is just updating actions workflows to work there.

So you’re just a troll who doesn’t actually have an argument here. Noted.

I like having a Windows 11 VM for stuff I need Windows for (Visual Studio, pretty much, for one project), though I realise having enough system resources to do this is a bit of a privilege (especcially now…)
