Quoting: BeamboomI continue to be confused about the descriptions of the fixes, as they seem to be fixes for specific games rather than general framework corrections/improvements. Do we really have a shitload of game-specific tweaks running in all our machines?

I know the argument that "they do fix general issues and use the game titles as merely examples of who was affected".
But wouldn't they then word it differently, like "fixed an issue with the handling of X in library Y, affecting games like [insert titles here]"?
But then we'll have people asking, what games does that fix?

I like DRM-Free games, but I dislike GOG a little bit, and definitely dislike stupid SEO from CD Project Red... Between a rock and a hard place xD

I'm really interested in some offers from my wish list but not sure if I should wait for Winter sales instead, I think they're usually better...

A colleague gave me a free Stadia Controller and I'm tempted to use try to the system... but I must resist to stay away from Google Services :D

Facebook are now funding the open source 3D creation suite Blender

I was actually thinking those were tax-free -Blender Foundation is a non-profit, so thought it might have certain benefits when it comes to pay employees- or after taxes already. However, 2.5K is a good salary, but still well below the average for developers (At least in the UK).

Quoting: Guest116 k€ a month is not that much. It really depends on where the programmers are living.

Here: https://fund.blender.org/about/ [External Link]

I read this which i do not understand very well.

25K Euro/month: 5 full-time developers.
50K Euro/month: 10 full-time developers.
100K Euro/month: 20 full-time developers.
A €5K/month salary is a lot of money in any European country. In some more than others, but still a lot of money. Hell, I would say that it would be a lot of money even for any country.

Money good.
Facebook... pure evil. :dizzy:
Money is money, though. No matter where it's from. ;)
I guess money from slavery or child abuse doesn't matter where it comes from... ;)
I dislike Facebook with passion too, but throwing them in the same pot with the above is a little extreme.
It was an exaggeration to express that money does matter where it comes from :)

KDE teams up with PinePhone for the PinePhone - KDE Community edition
19 Nov 2020 at 3:17 pm UTC

I have been very unlucky with my PostmarketOS CE Edition. By unlucky I mean; phone won't boot/start from first week, got some component after much battle with Pine to fix it, the component doesn't fix the issue, and probably now repeat the back and forth emails to see if we find the solution.

At this rate, I guess Librem 5, already started shipping, will arrive before I fix the Pinephone hahaha.
