Such massive slop!
#Sloptacular! -
The old launcher is really bad, it lags a LOT and for most gamers, having Fab and UE library and the store combined felt like bloat. Funnily for me, it is the games and library sections that lag and freeze. It is embarassing how terrible their launchers are.
I haven't seen the new slop launcher, but the old one is hated by almost everyone. I might just move to Heroic rather than use new slop
@kjv @clayfoot @GossiTheDog Epic have been surprisingly incompetent with the launcher, so it's not entirely surprising that they have tried just vibing another. It's so bad, that there was a chance vibe output would be superficially better.
Of course, not anything I'd let even near my payment info, but they aren't exactly known for thinking things through. It would affect their development velocity or some bullshit (even pre-AI).

@GossiTheDog but hey, it starts up faster than steam
LMFAO.
@da_667 @GossiTheDog An entire day has passed, and Steam apparently released a startup performance fix.
It's still ridiculously long, though. (Steam's startup performance, that is—12 sec until my library is shown, I just measured)
-
@nullagent @GossiTheDog it happens the same way a lot of junk comes out of Google and Microsoft. From the outside they look like big monoliths, but on the inside you have a bunch of teams all desperately scrambling for recognition (see also "crabs in a bucket"). There’s a good chance that those teams are incentivized or measured on how fast and publicly they do things not on how well they do things.
I can understand it even though I’m not in that world. If I’m a low to mid-level "contributor" in one of those companies and I’ve been there for a few years, the company performance has absolutely nothing to do with what I get paid - and these days any individual contribution that I may have been responsible for is going to be overshadowed by some executive's vibecoding because they want to put their stamp on it.
Maybe I get a bonus at the department level if we ship. I can even use that as a talking point when I’m interviewing, because if I’ve been there for more than three years, I may be looking at jumping ship to another company. And if the product is crap, I can use that as part of my interviewing as well because obviously I left because the company insists on releasing vibe coded slop, and I’d like to go someplace where I can actually contribute.
But perhaps I’m overly cynical.
@fencepost @GossiTheDog @nullagent that sounds pretty bang on

@NosirrahSec @da_667 @GossiTheDog now come on, I think we all would ship our shit to *some* people.
@gsuberland @da_667 @GossiTheDog this is very true

LMFAO.
@da_667 @GossiTheDog the absolute funniest part is that the steam client got an update two days ago that decreased startup time. Their claim wasn’t even true when they made it. store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/710037059469839720

@GossiTheDog Hey, but it's 0.06 seconds faster than Steam to restore from the task bar. Way to go!

@GossiTheDog maybe someone can talk Attie into vibe-coding a web shell into BlueSky infra if having it make an infostealer or crypto miner gets boring.

@GossiTheDog At first I read that as "shite builder" and I think that's more realistic.
