Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoSomething is wrong here..
They can not recommend a non LTS distro... A non LTS version is no more than a BETA.

No. LTS is simply a release with a stability focus and a longer support cycle. That's what LTS means: Long Term Support.

Although I do agree that they should support the latest LTS. In a couple of days that'll be 18.04. :)

Quoting: tuubiI'm not very familiar with Firewatch (it's still on my wishlist and I'm good at avoiding spoilers), but to me it seems Valve is gathering narrative design talent for their upcoming games.

I didn't like Firewatch very much for the story and that one character, but the game was made really well. Very good execution of new ideas. The gameplay was really hitting my sweet spot. I can't wait what games Valve will do in the future.

I'd be very disappointed if a Valve game, especially if it's a Portal game, didn't have a healthy dose of their signature humour.

Liam, you need a tool to move a bunch of posts from a comment thread into a new (linked) forum thread. We can not and need not avoid debating DRM, but whenever one gets going, discussing anything else becomes almost impossible.

I think the term DRM generally only applies to technical measures that restrict the use of a product. Licenses and legal restrictions are a related but separate subject.

Quoting: jens(I'm missing a word: something like extreme, it is either 100% one side or 100% the other, nearly no in-between, at least not outspoken).

"Polarized"? I guess people who don't feel strongly about a subject aren't likely to comment on it.

Quoting: jensPeople here are sadly recently immediately on the edge as soon as the subjects Steam/Valvue or DRM are touched. (I guess I had my share in it too.) Impartial opinions aren't that easy to find anymore.

Hasn't DRM been a point of contention since... well, since it was first introduced? There's nothing recent about this, and it's easy to see why some people feel strongly about it. The basic issue is a lot like the proprietary vs free software debate. It's all about who decides what you can and cannot do with a product you've bought. If indeed you're even paying for a product and not just a license to use it.

Quoting: iiariI'd think that the people most interested in a title would go in for early access, but maybe I'm wrong....

If I'm really interested in experiencing a game, why would I spoil it for myself while it's still unfinished? The only reason I might buy an EA title is to fund the development, but I'd never play the game until it's actually out.

Quoting: Guestublock's ability to pre-configure itself for each site is nice, but if you disagree with it (for instance, a site loading Facebook when there's almost always no reason for it to) it doesn't let you start blocking it, or at least not easily, while 3P does, but 3P also starts off unconfigured so it's more of a hassle.

You just need to enable advanced features in uBlock Origin's configuration to get a nice, clickable list that allows you to block or allow stuff. If that's what you mean. You could also enable one of the stricter third party social block lists.
