  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that's similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.

    My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.

    I really wanted this to be true but according to Wikipedia that’s an unofficial backronym. :( Sorry to be Debbie Downer.

    I'm partial to a good TLA (three letter acronym) myself.

    Well looks like I finally found a cheat engine equivalent for Linux

    [–] AceSLS@ani.social 3 points 6 months ago

    Sadly not, Cheat Engine has a whole lot more features. PINCE is still very good though

    Game Conqueror also works, but is missing a lot of features too from what I can tell. Don't know how it holds up against PINCE.

    I've had success getting CE to run with Proton though, specifically by using SteamTinkerLaunch to run it as additional custom command with the game. There are other ways too, like protontricks. In my experience, it has been mostly stable, with the occasional freeze, but generally usable for pointer scanning and such.
