What will happen to games I installed during the festival afterwards? I hope they stay on my disc and can still be played?

Quoting: soulsource

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: soulsourceDon't worry.
Now that they edit the masked characters, other (or probably even the same) people will complain that they now removed the African culture whatnot and that the removal is racist.

Yeah, why talk about what actually happened when you can make up things that might happen in the future?
The latter is so much easier and more fun...!

Sorry to say that, but:

Quoting: GuestWell all this SJW bullshit just did one thing: push me away from this game. The devs shouldn’t have listened to them.

Q.E.D.

As DrMcCoy said, this doesn't make sense. Stan did nothing what you said some people would, he doesn't even take side of these people and thus, obviously nothing has been proven.

Quoting: The_AquabatI don't know man, as person that has suffered racism on a trip to Europe, because of being Latin (I was beaten up and a friend of mine was stabbed, and our car destroyed) sometimes I feel some ppl take things to dangerous extremes (ie censoring).

Who has censored what?

Quoting: x_wing$ man poll
$ man select

That's your answer.

I don't know what is the issue with wine, but I guess that their problem may be related to fd (but is mentioned as secondary improvement, so I'm not sure...)

And more recently, epoll. I don't know what their problem with fds are, but everything being an fd is the best thing to have happened to unix. Things that weren't an fd turned out to be the most problematic (pid, signals), and they are turning into fds in recent Linuxes too.

Maybe they can get windows-y programs to run faster with windows-y kernel features, but I certainly hope no one would use this feature outside wine.

I guess that somewhat answers the question I would have asked:
Poll and select seem to be all about files, while...

QuoteThe WaitForMultipleObjects function can specify handles of any of the following object types in the lpHandles array:

Change notification
Console input
Event
Memory resource notification
Mutex
Process
Semaphore
Thread
Waitable timer

This still sounds useful to me.

Does that mean there's no such thing as WaitMultipleObjects on Linux? How would a Linux programmer solve that?

Quoting: ShmerlI did, and it sounded like you were trying to justify the premise behind DRM. May be I misunderstood it, then I'm sorry for confusion. In my opinion DRM has no justification, it's simply unethical.

I find it reasonable for companies not to trust us. Nobody should trust random foreign people they've never met.
I don't want companies or countrys to spy on people.
I don't know what to make is this regarding DRM though, that's why tend to avoid that topic.

If it would be possible to make piracy impossible without breaking anything for legal customers and without spying, I guess I'd be ok with it. It seems real live DRM often did one of those or even both.

Somebody can say how it compares to the Portal bridge builder?

Quoting: EikeYou complained that "DRM doesn't trust you and treats you as a potential criminal apriory." - and that's what you're doing with random foreign people as well, and for a reason. There's bad people out there.

So, you cannot demand trust from companies (or other foreign people

I don't know where you're from, but here in France if a shopkeeper starts being suspicious towards his clients, they just leave the shop and never come back.

So, shop detectives, electronic door devices to scan for stolen stuff labels (CDs, clothes, ...) or other theft prevention isn't a thing in our neighbor country? I find that hard to believe (and would search on my own of you insist that would be true).
