Pretty sure it's both, given that both uses are extremely common and that be how language works.

Literally just button remapping support for my MX Ergo.

And for the fool who always comes into these threads to tell me again that I must not have tried in several years, I tried last month. Talked to the Solaar dev, tried to reach out to Logitech, literally nothing to be done.

Stop fighting your body and find a night job.

Damn right, because I don't pick up.

"I hate talking on the phone and won't pick up, text me." also often works.

Windows definitely isn't the solution for all use cases. There are some use cases for which it's completely ineffective. There is no one operating system that's perfect for all use cases.

I emailed the dev who makes Solaar less than a month ago after my most recent attempt. They said clicking and holding would be on Logitech's end, in their firmware. As the firmware stands currently, it's not possible to rebind those particular buttons and click and hold them unless you rebind them to other buttons already on the mouse. Works in Logitech Options + on Windows, does not work through Solaar on any Linux distro.

I attempted to contact the Logitech devs, but there doesn't seem to be any open avenue for doing so. I tried talking to Logitech support, but they weren't able to put me in contact or even forward a message.

So yes, I have tried this recently. And literally the person who makes the software I'm trying to use has told me that my use case is not currently possible without some sort of workaround.

It's not reactionary to say that capitalism is bad. Capitalism is literally terrible. Not commerce, capitalism. Buying and selling things isn't wrong, but extracting and consolidating surplus labor from the working class is.

Unreal is safe now, but there are no guarantees under capitalism. A FOSS license does guarantee that enshittification won't be a factor because it literally can't become the exclusive property of some company with a greedy executive board. Unreal doesn't have that protection, Godot does.

Could Godot be compromised some how? Sure. Can it be enshittified? Not really.

The thing is, this could change at any time. The problem with enshittification is that it spreads. A company that's doing great work today could be bought out by corporate profiteers and leeched of its actual value at any point in the future. We've had plenty of companies that started out with a vision and a set of strong principles who've been reduced to predatory business practices that are bad for everyone. You can't assume that because a company seems to have integrity now, that integrity will remain.

Remember Elon Musk 15 years ago? Wasn't quite the same, was it?

To me, sitting in a position of getting started in game development, that makes me want to sink my time and effort into an engine that I know can't be enshittified because it can't be bought out. I want to know that in a few years I'm not going to completely scrub every asset and mechanic that I make for the engine because somebody's pulled some Darth Vader shit.

Bottom of the lake is pretty cheap iirc.

I don't really even trust Unreal until Unity takes a legal hit for this. What's to stop Epic doing the same thing?

Considering how locked into an engine a project can get, why risk a corporate engine unless you absolutely have to?
