Quoting: GuestIt is prohibited for an employer to spy on its employees in any way. This type of function is therefore formally prohibited in the professional field.
Depends where you are. Lots of companies in lots of countries already keep tabs on what employees are doing and looking at.

Quoting: voxLiam, sorry for off-topic and kind of a personal question, but for the year or so you switched multiple distros as far as I can see. You tried fedora and endeavourOS if I remember correctly. I switched to endeavourOs partly because of you and the discussions here. Do you intend to share your experiences and thoughts on the state of the distros today and what was those things that kept you moving? Thanks!
I am currently on Kubuntu, it's stable and does what I need. I don't see the need to be on a constantly rolling distro, rolling always breaks too many little things for my tastes.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWho puts a little picture of themselves on the upper left corner of their game trailer? Is that normal and I just missed it, or is this guy kind of a narcissist?
I think you're just seeing his profile picture from YouTube's UI lol

Either is fine really, PayPal probably has less fees, especially good if you're not bothered about any special status.

Quoting: grigiDo you have alternative donation platforms than Patreon or once-off paypal?
I honestly don't care about the rewards, I just want as much of my money to arrive at you Liam. (As in the minimum charges).

I'm asking because Patreon has been in the news for taking what many people think is an unfair percentage of fees.
Nope. Every additional platform is more admin/tax work for me. Paypal and Patreon keep it simple and I am personally happy with both.

Blow has GamingOnLinux blocked on X, so I missed it until it was pointed out.
Any particular reason..?
We disagreed many many years ago on something around Linux users "not buying games", and he blocked me as a result of it.

Kickstarter will now allow late-pledges for finished campaigns

Quoting: scaineI haven't watched the video, but I really hope this is only enabled for already-successful campaigns. I think there needs to be a cut-off for success or failure of a campaign and late-pledges suddenly reviving a dead campaign could cause chaos.
Yeah, it's for successful campaigns.

Quoting: ShabbyX> Support for widescreen monitors with almost any resolution. You can change the resolution without restarting the game, and in windowed mode, changing the window size dynamically adjusts the game resolution.

Sad reality is that this is so hard to be considered a feature. Especially with Vulkan.
Well, this is in comparison to the original game, which is from 2004.

Quoting: kuhpunktThey really need to work on their marketing. I don't think it was necessary to play the game for a full hour. There is no value in seeing that uncut. At least switch the game and present the performance in a variety of titles.
This isn't really meant as marketing, not in a traditional sense. IMO it's more like them showing off their workshop a bit for people curious. At least, I hope their actual real marketing is higher quality...
