Quoting: liamdaweSeems porter Ethan Lee isn't impressed: https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/991801096543891457

He is not happy because he worked on SDL controller's list and Valve have put their own stuff which override the SDL one. The Valve one have less controller's configs and it messed up with some of his games.

More or less it is something like this, he is tweeting about this for quite some time.

Quoting: liamdaweLooks like i may need to whip up a small JS overlay for YouTube videos then, to warn people since Google is not and block the video if people do not accept it.

you should ask the consent globally and not on each youtube videos because it will be annoying.

i have given you a link in a previous comment of the tool i use and is easy to setup.

you could tell people if they continue to navigate on your website they will accept cookies and if they want they can choose on your privacy page.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThis is the reason for a great deal of websites showing that little bar at the top/bottom of their page informing you that they use cookies and that you should leave if you do not agree with that (or something along those lines).

Those site are not compliant to the law because they have to let you access to the website even if you refuse their cookies, it is up to them to take all the step required for not storing cookies in your browser.

For exemple it should be stated clearly on the website that if a user do not accept youtube cookies, he will not be able to see the videos, and the webmaster should block the videos for him but let him access to the website anyway.

Quoting: sergealso for youtube you have to ask people consent for the cookie before they hit the display button.
Really? Google should be doing that then, frustrating if we are forced to do it for them. Got a link to confirm this?

i could find a link if you want but it is in french.

you have to ask people consent for the cookies before they are stored in their browser and you should be already doing it.

this is why you see all those site with a bar asking people for cookies, but most of them are not compliant because they don't block cookies at all and do not let people have a choice to accept cookies or refuse them.

you could have keep the tweeter widget if you ask people through a plugin (eg https://www.primebox.co.uk/projects/jquery-cookiebar/)if they allow cookie or not.

And you put the tweeter script between a if (isset($_COOKIE["cb-enabled"]) && $_COOKIE["cb-enabled"] == "accepted")

if they accept cookie the scritp will launch and the widget is visible, if not the script do not launch so there is no cookie.

Fermi support will be moved to the legacy branch and not totally drop by Nvidia.

There are much older cards on the 304 legacy branch.

The Humble Paradox Bundle 2018 is a rather enticing deal

@liamdawe have you tried to apply to humble partners, so linux folks can support you when buying humble bundles?

The Humble Store is having a huge sale right now, some seriously good Linux deals on

Quoting: stretch611I noticed that Project Highrise is pretty cheap right now as well. ($6.11 US w/extra 10% from monthly)

The problem is that it has no official linux support (but does have linux build threads on Steam.) Those threads have some activity, but does anyone here have it? Does it work ok?

Quoting: [email protected]I've played a couple of hours and the game runs fine, it does have that bug with not starting if you have a prefs directory, but just playing it I have run into no issues.

The bug with the prefs directory only happen with the 64bits build, rename the 32bits build with the 64bits build name, change the 64bits build name and you can save your game.
