I installed Battle.net launcher in Steam, the .exe file. From there I installed Diablo. Works fine. I had some performance issues and had to add some command line args. Codex/claude code helped me with all of that, it ended up running very smooth (I've since deleted it).

But Steam -> custom app -> battle.net exe -> run it in 'compatibility/proton mode' and you should be good.

Practically, is there a better alternative to Arch/AUR? I've used it for years because of the bleeding-edge packages and stability (for me) but with the increased security incidences I don't feel safe. I don't have the time/desire to read the build files of every package I install.

Great, so when do we lowly code-serfs get access to it?

I would be interested in this. I opened this thread to see if anyone posted about doing the course as a group!

I have a really mixed feeling about Costco. I hate it, I going there, I hate the crowds, the parking, the people, being hawked a credit card, a cell phone, whatever the vendors are selling. It makes me feel like a pig in a slaughterhouse waiting to get out of the store, I feel like it's the platonic form of consumption. We all go to the nice little consumption center like good piggies to get our sustenance and to get milked further (maybe I should buy some electronics!)

Yet, I keep going. I like the cranberry bread, the cheap chicken, the granola, I like not thinking about what to buy so much. I like that it's of an acceptable quality at an acceptable price. I like that I can return stuff easily without getting shit for it. I like "scoring" deals on stuff that seems like a good value.

I have a directory of skills that I symlink to Codex/Claude/pi. I make scripts that correspond with them to do any heavy lifting, I avoid platform specific features like Claude's hooks. I also symlink/share a user AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md

MCPs aren't as smooth, but I just set them up in each environment.

I wish the Chinese would release a model comparable with 5.4 and free me from this pain

What are people using to cost efficiently use this? I was using a Google Ultra sub which gave enough but that’s gone now.

ChatGPT $20/month is alright but I got locked out for a day after a couple hours. Considering the GitHub pro plus plan.

Maybe when I was 15 or 16, PHP stuff in order to maintain a website. I never really became interested in coding itself, I learned it for practical reasons and I studied it informally (forced myself through some boring books) when I was in my early 20s and wanted to get a real job.
