EA to open source part of Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert

That is not the EA I know! Has EA released any other of their old games under GPL?

Quoting: jordicomaAnyone knows if this company sells computers to Europe (with the power supply and an non us keyboard layout)?
I do not need a laptop now, but I would consider it for the next one.
I've heard that Entroware has atleast UK keyboard layouts. Tuxedo computers have bigger variety European layouts, but sadly for me no Swedish layouts :/ Slimbook.es has Spanish, UK and German layouts. I would also like to hear if someone has found a company that sells Linux laptops with Swedish/Finnish keyboard.

I did like the first Reciever, but it lacked a good story and more interesting level design. I hope these things are more developed in the second game.

How well does this entry engage with communities and groups under-represented (e.g, women, non-binary, gender queer, or gender non-conforming) in the FOSS Community?
smh
Why? It's one of three "secondary considerations".
Because it even is a consideration.

Last I checked I did neither need my genitals nor my sexuality to program. This is a politically motivated power grab and only brings division and drama, not better code. Equality starts when you do not differentiate. Now they have to ask for gender and divide the projects into those categories.

But the fact it's under secondary gives me a bit of hope this cancer will soon die off.
In addition what other commenters have already said, different kind of people will bring different ideas to FOSS projects. This kind of diversity will make open source more democratic and better.

I have played the Wolfenstein-themed mod for Doom called Blade of Agony. It is honestly my favourite Wolfenstein game even if it isn't official and can be run with FOSS GZDoom! Only two first chapters has been released so far, but I do recommend it if you haven't played it yet.

Paradox should just use this one instead of their proprietary launcher.

Half-Life: Alyx support for Linux aiming to arrive with Vulkan support post-release

Woah! Is this the first Source 2 game with Vulkan?

Recently I've been playing Stone Story RPG and Black Mesa.

Stone Story RPG is quite interesting ASCII art RPG and while it is not really a idle game - it has sometimes quite idleable grinding.

Black Mesa is really impressive, but it still on some levels has quite bad performance problems where the framerate drops to 1. Sometimes deleting the glshaders.cfg fixes it, but often it sadly doesn't. I just have to turn on god mode because you cannot really survive the gun fights with 1 fps.

Ambitious Half-Life remake Black Mesa is now officially available and it's a beauty

Quoting: 1xokI wonder if this is really the 20-year-old source engine.
To be fair the engine has been in development the whole time. It's not like any of the Valve's own games even are running the same Source as it was released in Half-Life 2.

The UI surely has changed a lot since last time I played this almost 10 years ago. It does look really modern now!
