Not sure why your intuition would go there, I can imagine situations where the caller would feel/be threatened if they didn’t remain anonymous. After hearing about people suing for helping them in emergency situations and police abusing people’s rights to get evidence then if I felt I had to report something I’d want to remain anonymous.

How often does it end up saving peoples lives though?

“DRM” as in digital restrictions management I assume.

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…). The shift away from a community ownership model received some resistance from some contributors, which led to the formation of a software fork called Forgejo. From Wikipedia.

Furthermore you can mix GPL and AGPL licensed code, each part retaining their license. So you can include someone’s GPL code in a new AGPL project (or vice versa). It’s stated in the GPLv3 license under “Use with the GNU Affero General Public License”.

I’d like to know about that too.

I imagine you’re aware but GPL doesn’t directly prevent corps from using your code (just often done because their code is often propriety). They can use it legally as part of their own GPL licensed code or when they are offering software as a service (they don’t distribute the binary, it’s running on their server). In that case where your code could be running on a server then the AGPL would be preferable if giving software freedom to their users is part of your goals.

If the Computer Science Degree is open source that means I can redistribute it.

Tracked Steam games working on Linux Mint since I started > 4 years ago (from my final, successful attempt to stop using Windows).

[Edit: only loaded Sea of Thieves and then never played it because it required a M$ account - wish I asked for a refund]

Not found a better OS for me than Mint :)

“Sober is a new way to play Roblox” . . . So, everyone was playing drunk before? Geeze, most of them are under age! - Purple Library Guy

If you’re an adult and want to use this to play a game, your choice. I hope this doesn’t help Roblox reach more children though.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

Presumably some games at some point needed the user to update the kernel for an updated AMD driver?

Sapphire have some pros but I’m not sure Linux is one of them. They release programs for Windows (like controlling LED colors) and do not release an equivalent on Linux (and it’s not open source).

nvidia has released opensource kernel level drivers

"Not every GPU is compatible with the open-source GPU kernel modules.

For cutting-edge platforms such as NVIDIA Grace Hopper or NVIDIA Blackwell, you must use the open-source GPU kernel modules. The proprietary drivers are unsupported on these platforms." - developer.nvidia.com

Only 9 years after AMD, and 13 years after Linus said “fuck you Nvidia” during a talk for being such a difficult company to work with.

I’m trying to cut back on proprietary software until I’m only using free software but I make a small exception for some games (usually bought by friends, or to play with them).

I doubt that literally is a significant concern.

When I can’t join others is when I hear confusion as to why I use GNU+Linux, and disappointment when I refuse to use Windows to play a certain game.

Not passing judgement at this volunteering specifically but willingly doing something doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no problems. It could still be exploitative.

If you want to avoid this judgement (being a Linux user)

We’re here, we’re queer, Linux is top gear!

I’m surprised the wheels hardware wouldn’t just work.

Hmm, I don’t play racing games. Are they not just a combination of efficient frame generation and pretty graphics? What makes racing games different from other games when it comes to software running on Windows vs Linux?
