What are the best open-source software for recording games running on Ryujinx? by refalo in c/opensource@programming.dev

And how might that be accomplished? It's not like emulators expose some common API that allows programs to record its output.

What does it mean to be designed to record emulator games?

So like how does one get job as fresh graduate? by refalo in c/experienced_devs@programming.dev

Like the name of this sub suggests, most companies that are hiring developers want someone with existing real-world experience building things. If you just went and got a degree and have nothing else to show, then you have the training but you don't have experience.

I would suggest meaningfully contributing to open-source projects, and/or making your own projects, so that you have something to show on your resume as "experience" until you get real projects at a real job.

Are you saying OBS is not designed for recording games?

Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source (github.com)

The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server

The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.

There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro

But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.

The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.

Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.

The company previously associated with Rustdesk, Purslane Limited of the UK, is no longer in operation since 2023.

The project has no CLA and so the dozens of previous contributors still hold the copyright to their code and have not given permission for it to be used in a proprietary version.

There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

EDIT: The repo owner has completely deleted the issue, here is a screenshot: https://0x0.st/KaqD.png

To me this just proves they know what they're doing is wrong.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

European Law Enforcement Officials Declare Encryption Must Be Broken To Ensure Public Safety by refalo in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Privacy measures currently being rolled out, such as end-to-end encryption, will stop tech companies from seeing any offending

Front doors also stop them from seeing things... is that next? What about clothes to conceal drugs?

Ubuntu Snap Hate by refalo in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The server is proprietary and last I checked you can't even turn off auto-updating or verify the binaries they push to you.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-mint-dumps-ubuntu-snap/

In the Ubuntu 20.04 package base, the Chromium package is indeed empty and acting, without your consent, as a backdoor by connecting your computer to the Ubuntu Store. Applications in this store cannot be patched, or pinned. You can't audit them, hold them, modify them, or even point Snap to a different store. You've as much empowerment with this as if you were using proprietary software, i.e. none. This is in effect similar to a commercial proprietary solution, but with two major differences: It runs as root, and it installs itself without asking you.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
