Quoting: thelimeydragonWell Telltale have gone. So this game is never coming now. :p

I say it's because they stopped making fun adventure games and went for interactive movies full of choices and consequences instead. (Only half joking.)

Quoting: DolusSo this is what the GoL community is? People that will accuse you of being a Nazi (or what passes for one these days) for not going along with what they are pushing politically. Well, if that's the way you want it...

No, see, that person has a name, and it's not "the GOL community". If you feel they're not adhering to GOL's rules, you can always report them. That's how this works.

Is accusing someone of a crime (which being a nazi is where I live) against the rules?

I don't know. You can check.

Quoting: Avehicle7887I have but one question - How does the new shader cache work with Nvidia? The games now seem to store shader cache in both the *.dxvk-cache file and Nvidia's own method (I'm using the __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH envvar). Do they work together or I can disable the Nvidia built in one?

The new DXVK cache stores pipeline state, while Nvidia's cache stores compiled shaders. There's no actual overlap.

Quoting: anewsonPro CoC wants to change the norms around abusive behaviour and language in the kernel dev community (which goes right up to Torvalds). Con CoC is worried this empowers moderators to exclude developers who don't share their ideological views. The former goal is laudible, and the latter concern is justified (eg Johnathan Haidt's work on academia).

This CoC simply codifies the powers Linux maintainers have had all along. The "Con CoC" crowd seem to have trouble understanding this basic fact. Could be because they'd rather just keep fighting the scary SJW cabal that keeps taking away their toys.

That may be true; indeed my own bias is that it simply reflects changes happening within the community and has effect beyond a signal of change. However, it may also be true that, as Con worries, that the act of codifying it increases the ability of moderators to exclude contributors in practice (much easier to do so when there's an official document you can use to justify your actions)

It could also make it more difficult to exclude contributors in practice. Before, maintainers could do as they saw fit (within reason), while now they are required to adhere to a common code of conduct. In any case, this document officially gives them the right to potentially remove disruptive contributors but it doesn't force them to do so.

Quoting: DolusOh? The Linux maintainer's were wont to harass people for stats they posted on social media? More than half a decade ago at that? This "everything is ok" and "this is not a big deal" crap rings hollow. People ARE leaving Linux over this.

That controversy was already ongoing before the CoC was implemented. Cause does not follow effect.

Do YOU think he should be drummed out of contributing for what he posted seven years ago. Yes or no.

Can't say. I'm not in the habit of forming knee-jerk opinions based on quotes and snippets. I do believe in taking responsibility for your words and actions though, and if people in the kernel community do not feel comfortable working with him, I guess they have the right to say so. Also, you'd think that if someone wrote something years ago that they don't agree with anymore, they could easily correct this situation by saying so. However, if their opinion hasn't changed, your point about the time span is meaningless.

Quoting: GuestSo has it been confirmed yet that Butcher is 100% broken for everyone using the steam version? because my GOG copy works just fine on a fully up to date system

It does seem to rather irk me, because while I don't mind the option to run the game on Proton instead, linux users should ALWAYS continue to have the option to run a native build

Removing that native build altogether is a stupid move, as there might be a lot of people out there who can still play it just fine on thier linux machines dispite the developer claiming it as "broken"

Really want more clarification from the developer.

See the update at the top of the article. The game was only broken for some users and the native version has been restored.

Quoting: XicronicFrom Coraline Ada Ehmke (writer of the CoC):

"Some people are saying that the Contributor Covenant is a political document, and they’re right."

If the author of the CoC admitting it is a political document made to out people she doesn't like doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. Maybe look at Opal and Ruby as examples?

Please cite where you took the part made bold by me is from.

What's HIS real name?

Should we care? I don't know the name you were born with, or more importantly, what you've got in your pants. Does that mean you're evil?

There. I struck out the part she clearly didn't say or mean. As if this would even give her the power to "out" anyone.

And yes, anything that concerns project policy is political by definition.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP

Quoting: einherjarI fully understand him. The CoC is made by the person saying that:

I can’t wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it’s been infiltrated by SJWs. Hahahah

after the CoC was taken to the Linux kernel.

This unfortunately sounds rather true.

Even though it's clearly sarcasm? Or trolling like silmeth above puts it.

In any case, you can all relax. The CoC doesn't give any power to anyone who isn't a maintainer of a Linux subsystem or module, and then only within their domain, and becoming a maintainer requires the same amount of expertise as ever. Nothing has changed with regard to meritocracy or the lack of.
