Quoting: wvstolzingSorry about the off-topic post, but ... does anyone else see 'EAC' and immediately think of 'Exact Audio Copy'?

In eons past, I ripped countless CDs with it.

You're not alone, ahaha.

Sometimes, I need to rewire my brain when reading Easy Anti Cheat-related news.

Got introduced to Steam thanks to TF2 although I have seen the Steam client in cybercafes thanks to Counter Strike.

T2 is turning into ActiBlizzard, AAA game publishers with greedy CEOs

Happy 30th anniversary, Linux

Linux means freedom, freedom to tinker my system without any visible limitations within the operating system

My first Linux journey was started with an Ubuntu virtual machine back in 2008 (with 8.10), GNOME 2 was so lovely back then

Since then, I went into a phase of distrohopping, from Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Bodhi (yeah), Manjaro...

And here in 2021, I am using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 5

Quoting: BogomipsWell python 2 disappeared so check the possible side effects (like DisplayCal that is almost out of all the linux distros now, colord-kde can help at least to put back your icc profiles).

But so far so good for me. And more devices are now detected.

At least, DisplayCAL is available as Flatpak [External Link] so we can continue colour calibration while waiting for (hopefully) python 3 rewrite.

Quoting: BielFPsI'm not a kde user, but I am a fan of some of their software like Krita and Kdenlive, so I'm happy that their efforts are being recognized and hope that those improves include their wayland compositor too.

The biggest success story of KDE though (if we like it or not) is KHTML, which as base of Chrome took over browser world domination.

It's been a while.. but last time I used Konqueror, it still had the option of changing the rendering engine between KHTML, Webkit and Gecko(I think that was the last one).

Just opened Konqueror moments ago and I can choose between WebEngine (WebKit) and KHTML, looks like Gecko as a choice is gone.

Quoting: CatKiller"fair use" (a US legal concept)

Fair use or an equivalent exists in other countries laws. And I've often seen "fair use" as a translation from other countries laws in English.

Yup, it is known as fair dealing in some Commonwealth of Nations countries

A very good ruling, API without fair use would be detrimental to the whole software industry in general and open source community in particular.

Proton is one of the reason I can drop Windows for good, since I do not play multiplayer games with pesky anti-cheats.

The fact that I can play the majority of my Steam Windows games library on Linux with a little effort is amazing, and of course I would be even more happier if developers starting to make more native games.

Here for more years of Proton.
