@mcc squints

yeah, i… also thought that. well. this would line up with all the other things i have learned about Linux since i started using Linux more, that i would categorize as like, “yeah, that thing that everyone’s always said? not true. in fact, was never true, and you should never”

@mcc …given how often i see people complain about making Flatpaks but not about making AppImages, i just assumed making an AppImage would be easier. i guess not. but maybe i shouldn’t be surprised by Linux people complaining about new things.

i would guess that the way the state of the art has progressed is that Flatpaks are a thing now. and given that users of secure Linux systems like secureblue won’t be able to run an AppImage anyway, Flatpak is probably the better bet for preservation.

LiveSplit One does exist, but i’m not sure what it’s capable of. like, can it even do auto‐splitting? i just discovered there’s a cross‐platform OBS component that integrates it, so that’s what i’ll explore next i guess.

i did see that there’s an open‐source project called “LibreSplit”, but. they only officially package it for the AUR, and i’m, not going to use the AUR right now, or maybe ever.

speedrunning is i guess something destined to be stuck in old ways. since the actual games being speedrun are essentially static, the workflows established for them usually follow suit. the whole situation with SRC is similarly dismal, although that one is definitely worse because of the whole corporate aspect. at least LiveSplit is open‐source, for what it’s worth.

i really hope leaderboards.gg actually exists someday.
