SC Controller driver and UI version 0.4.5 is out, last release for a while

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm not sure how the agenda is hidden, it's pretty plain. When contributors, even of software that isn't directly part of the source code (like the SC controller that just integrates with the kernel) decide to stop developing because of it, it's already caused damage. Whether intentional or not.
I decide to stop my open source development if the kernel CoC would not come into place due to warriors against social justice. What now? Welcome to the real world, including real people, where you cannot do anything without pissing somebody off.

Feral Interactive are teasing something for Linux next week

Quoting: GuestIt's Madden 19 lol. As good a guess as any.
If it simply would be a new port, they would use the radar, no?

Quoting: GuestSo let me get this straight: Just because social media are already a putrid sea of toxic waste, we should add more on top of it?

These announcements are wasted energy and just NOISE. They don't increase Feral sales, they don't help Linux gaming, they do nothing but generate useless internet traffic and waste everyone's time.
I don't agree with the effects you're (not) expecting, but that aside: Why do you spend more time with it than that needed to find out it's a news you don't care about (which should be a single-digit amount of seconds)?

Quoting: liamdaweTheir reply to me was...interesting [External Link] "It? So you think it's just one thing?" :D
Well, if it would be like famous "one more thing"... ;-)

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is now officially available on Linux

Quoting: rkfgIf you completed the game, there's collector's mode. It allows to play any episode and even choose a starting scene. The only difference is that your choices aren't recorded but we don't need that.
Ah, cool! Will be some days at least until I get there, though. :-)

Quoting: rkfgThe game has just been updated, could that be the bugfix? Eike, can you test it?
I don't know how, I's not like the game is having save slots. And I wouldn't want to play through whole episode two again at the moment. Sorry.

Quoting: ColoneilGame refunded, they should change that "Out now for MacOS and Linux" to "Out now for MAcOS and Ubuntu"...
It works fine on my Gentoo box.
... on my Debian as well, no problems (except the place where Windows is having troubles, too).

What even more developers think of Valve's Steam Play

Quoting: scainePresumably just a different QA process. They'll need to check it doesn't break any of the whitelisted titles. I suppose it's weird that it hasn't hit the beta channel though.
I don't know if this already has been discussed, but the option page seems to suggest that Steam is keeping different versions for different games (a bit like PlayOnLinux)...

Quoting: ElvanexI was so annoyed, I didn't even let it run the update. I just powered off, and nuked it from my system, never to touch it again.
Rage quitting the OS. :-D

Quoting: scaineWeird that no-one is talking about Torvalds open letter either. This CoC isn't being forced on him against his will. His letter openly acknowledged the need for such a CoC and he admits that he's a shining example of why it's needed. He talks about the personal attacks he's made over the years and admits they're wrong.
Thanks for pointing out! This is actually the first time I've heart about this discussion (Though such stuff has been discussed in length in Debian MLs as well.), and that's an interesting information.
