Anyone have the issue with Steam that game settings are not preserved?

:( the thing I'm trying to build is so badly conceived it's astounding; layers upon layers of indirection and half-hardcoded tool names and paths, if it works I'll have to figure out a good way to build it cleanly :(
<infinisil>
Oh boy
<samueldr>
oh, also, the git repo includes a toolchain :/
<samueldr>
(I'm resorting to using a debian VM to see if the thing even works)
<infinisil>
What do you mean by includes a toolchain?
<samueldr>
gcc and friends binaries
<infinisil>
Oh I see, phew
<infinisil>
Have fun with that
<samueldr>
oh, *32 bit* toolchain :|
<samueldr>
though this is a fork of a project; if it works I'm going back up the chain and make the upstream project work cleanly first

mdash: Are you using that steamplay thing on NixOS, or other Linux?

fun! it's never specified, but it's assumed the packing script will fail in what I'm following, and to just continue by using a product from the thing that fails :/

infinisil: I had to drop out for a while. Learn anything new about the g/uid thing?
<infinisil>
Not really
<infinisil>
My conclusion however is
<infinisil>
That it's not needed. All services can just check whether the permissions are right at the start and fix them if they're not
<infinisil>
Because this won't occur in 99.99% of cases, and because in 99% of this 0.01%, the number of files is small, this won't even be noticeable

Noticed a funny wording choice for Discourse guidelines that seem to be the same across communities: «If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.» Erm. If anything about minor technical details was mentioned on a major non-tech publication front page, I would expect it to be stalking-like…
<simpson>
I always wonder whether the post would get NYT's editing first. I'd like to think that my grammar is stellar, but I'm not a professional.
<MichaelRaskin>
They can start with removing u in colour…
<MichaelRaskin>
And if it is «what we mean, not what we write», I can only hope their code is about what is written and deployed, not about what is intended…
<simpson>
Personally I think that these sorts of "headline rules" are meant to cow people into staying quiet and meek.

I'm going stir crazy, it's terrible, I feel like I'm "this" close to get edk2 (tianocore) working on allwinner, but there's hole in my knowledge about all that boot process that's probably "that" size :/
<MichaelRaskin>
Ouch, ARM boot process
<samueldr>
yeah, all self-learned, without actual documentation sources :/
<samueldr>
and obviously, on a badly documented platform, with bad tooling
<samueldr>
oh, and I don't have the hardware for debugging things at boot, (nor the knowledge) which makes this "fun"
