Quoting: SchattenspiegelYay another witch hunt!
Why do I always have to wonder if the hunters really feel themselves morally driven to burn people at the stake or if they just use this tool of public assassination to further their own immoral agendas?
There does not seem to be much evolution in that department from the earliest stages of recorded history. does there?

Well, one obvious difference is that nobody has been actually set on fire and died.

Of course he is exactly that.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleFor those rushing to RMS' defense. This is just one thing in a long list of things. For all the good he has done, it's really not the person that you should want as the face of free software.

Well, this might have been just the intention of those that now use this well-proven method to get rid of him.

Quoting: GuestAnother storm in a teacup. Maybe there is a correlation between working on a computer and being a drama queen.

Also, this looks like an unfair procedure as seen many times before.
While objectively a thing like "misunderstandings and mischaracterizations" can be a very valid thing in a communication, this will always be taken as a "cheap excuse".

If you've been in such a situation it will always stick to your person for the rest of your life,
no matter if it was true or NOT.
Headlines simply cannot be undone.

I see this often used as sharp knife to seriously harm public figures.

Great project.

Do they plan to include a single-player campaign?

Quoting: subWe will most likely see more and more devs dropping Linux support or not considering it right from the start.

You mean exactly like it was before Steam Play then?

I was asking for reliable numbers.
Would allow us to stop speculating about that.

Is there an API to extract from Steam all newly released games within one month and which platforms they support? If we'd do this - back to when Steam for Linux was released - that would surely provide some insight where the fraction of native Linux games is trending.
Including the influence of the rise and fall of Steam Machines.

If you have already posted such numbers, please point me to it. :)

What did you expect from the quite good state of SteamPlay?
We will most likely see more and more devs dropping Linux support or not considering it right from the start.

Do we have reliable numbers of the fraction of games with native Linux builds released per month?

Quoting: sub"Watt.hour^-1" is "Watt per hour" and totally doesn't make sense.
Then again Watt x hour is energy not power.
I don't get that bubble. :D

Quoting: sub1/2 Offtopic.

Is anyone using a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2?
Does it (still) work under Linux?

I have the first version (gameport), unfortunately the ff doesn't work but I read in many places that it should (I read the driver and the support seems to be implemented, I probably did something wrong). Either case, even without ff is a terrific joystick.

Sure, without FF a FF joystick is not even stabilized. :)

Does anybody knows if Linux has a standardized FF API, or do games need to explicitly support the model?
Also, let's assume driver support is working, will I be able to use it with Wine and old Windows games that had FF support?

Yeah, I should probably ask that in the forum, but with Everspace chances are higher that it's visible to people that have experience with it - I guess.
