For me, the worst part is when they interrupt a video. Anything longer than 5 seconds is also a dealbreaker, often I decide that I dont need to see the video after all when multiple longer ads happen. But then again, I could never stand ads on TV either.

I think whats especially egregious about youtube ads is that they prevent you doing what you came for. On basically all other sites, ads are something in the background, something you ignore. They cannot be ignored if they play instead of a video.

Is it the Ur-Quan masters, aka Star Control II?

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

No they did not. You are literally spreading misinformation.

You are allowed to criticise the leaders of israel, its not banned.

It is because their admins are in Germany and they fear the extreme repercussion that the German State has done recently. Did you even read the post you pasted? Are are you intentionally trying to stir up drama?

Not everyone lives in safety these days. Fascism has made it hard to do things like host a volunteer run online forum safely. There are cases where the heavily armed SEK arrest people at gun point for this. Do you think online moderators should be required to catch a bullet for your posts?

I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.

What do you mean “the same city”? What does this statement say about the quality of the chip? I get when you say " the same factory" or “the same company” but “the same city” says nothing. Isnt lots of different tech produced in a few chinese cities?

Eehrm, Ackchyually the souls of true humans in the game are dark, the Dark Soul referencing the Soul that was used to create humanity ☝️🤓

no NTSYNC still :(

The ideas we explore in concrete work should be informed by what open source licensing proponents seek to restrict (the individual freedom to refuse), the tools they employ (software licensing), the language they attempt to monopolize (“Free as in Freedom”), and what the established systems and cultural norms do in practice

The article doesnt use the wording “Free Software Movement” it uses “open source licensing proponents” which includes the Free Software Movement.

As for the genocide per default part: Its nonsense to believe that if open source didnt exist or was different that it would somehow lead to less genocide.

“We know that there is a clear relationship between corporations which expend focused energy explicitly and implicitly promoting the use of Open Source Initiative-approved licenses to independent developers, and the genocide being committed in Palestine.”

“The Freedom to refuse”

This article is bonkers. It manages to twist the Free Software Movement, that I would argue is intrinsically radically anti-capitalist, to be somehow pro capitalist, because free labour. Completely ignoring the whole mutual benefit and means of production held in common part of the deal. It tries to paint restricions of who is allowed to use the software (breaking F(L)OSS definitions) as a “Freedom”, the freedom to “refuse”. Actual use of Orwellian phrasing there. And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

I had some bad experiences with wine/proton, especially on older hardware. There are sometimes weird bugs that are very hard to reproduce. For example: I couldnt play starfield for about a year because most textures were missing. No idea what was causing it. After a year it suddenly worked. Generally if you check Protondb for any game you will find that a few people have crazy bugs, even if everyone else says that it runs perfectly. I think I dont have a single game in my library that has a “Platinum” compatibility rating.

I think it boils down to how would you prefer to support linux players: By fixing bugs in your port, or chasing after bugs in wine/proton. The negatives of native ports that other people have raised are because many (larger) developers make the initial linux port, and then forget about it. Civilisation 6 for example has a good linux port. Yay! But they stopped updating it years ago. Many bugs were never fixed, and linux players dont even have access to the newest dlc! Compare it to running Civ 5 in wine. Things mostly work, exept mod support. Most mods just dont work. Who knows why.

I think native ports may have become easier nowadays too, because of the steam runtime. Steam can run linux games in their flatpak-like runtime, so ideally you only have to support that.

If you are planning on open sourcing your game (maybe some time after the commercial release) then a linux port would be very appeciated for packaging reasons. Other than that, your preference.

This is really amazing, I never thought that an exotic system so un-linux-like could ever get a proper gpu driver, nevermind run the newest hardware!

Same with guix.

Ah okay! No its not rootless, in fact it can only do fullscreen I think, thats why Im still searching for a better solution!

Its not just for games, you can remote any program(or the entire desktop) with it. Not sure why they advertise it like that.

As for rootless: As far as I know you need some elevated Privileges to be able to capture Wayland, but it does not need to run as root. Not 100% sure though.

Im searching for a solution too. You mentioned wprs, have you tried its predecessor xpra?

And theres always stuff like teamviever, rustdesk, and my personal favorite moonlight/sunshine, although all of these are for a slightly different usecase(full access to a remote desktop).

This is a false equivalence, most courts outside china rule in favor of the GPL, so it can be enforced. Notably china does not particularily care about international intellectual property rights, and that includes the GPL.

No they dont, not with the current american administration.
