For some reason I cannot make it run fullscreen, even though fullscreen is selected everywhere it opens in window (which makes it cut the bottom and the right side since the window have the same size as the screen plus the size of the bars and so on). Mesa 18.0.1 on RX480 and kernel 4.16

Quoting: EagleDeltaWhile I applaud the EU for actually doing something about privacy, some of these measures in GDPR show that they don't understand how technology works. There are simply some forms of data that cannot be removed or hidden without breaking applications or websites. Database backups come to mind with the right to remove all data from all time. That's simply not financially feasible for many companies.

Think about this, a company is required by a non-EU state to keep certain data from all records of visitors that logged into a site in the last 24 months. An EU citizen requests all their data to be removed, that would include not just their data, but any data that links to them (including backups). As many backups are not stateful pieces of data you can just open and delete data from, a company/org now has to have enough money to pay for the processing power to:

• Delete a user's data (not a big deal)


• Delete links to that user in other user's data (a bit more difficult, depending on how those links exist)


• Delete all history of that user. This last one is incredibly difficult as it requires the ability to restore/open every backup from the entire history since that user was created, delete their data, then save NEW backups.... all without losing service.

Now, I have an issue with the way many companies handle our private data, but there is a certain point at which privacy IS the responsibility of the user in question, NOT the company or service they use. A Public Facebook profile is just that: PUBLIC. Once that information is out there, no amount of data removal will remove it entirely from the internet. It may remove it from Facebook's servers (for example), but any number of other people could have gathered that data easily (without needing any special API keys or access), ESPECIALLY if a user made that data available on a public page.

Word from a colleague of mine who just came back from a GDPR information session is that GDPR does not cover backups so you do not have to hunt down peoples data in your backups in order to delete data.

Quoting: mike44Sure it runs fine with my GTX1070 but why is it even slower than DX11? They have the sourcecode so they could do it perfectly without any wrapper?
Hopefully the next TR will not be that late.

Because in order for Feral to fully convert it from Windows/DX to Linux/Vulkan they would have to start like this:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    /* ok, only a few million lines of code left to code */
    return 0;
}

Well the Install button appeared for me now but since it completes in 2 seconds there might be some issues left for Feral/Steam to work out...

Looks like the Amiga game that never was so I'll definitely instabuy once it gets released on steam.

Anyone having any idea on how to complete the helicopter chase sequence on Fubar? Every other difficulty was a breeze but on Fubar it's basically instakill whatever I do here.

Quoting: F.UltraBtw how does one get the IWAD files out of the Doom bought from GOG, I reckon that it's a Windows installer so do one have to do a wine install and then move some files or is it possible to open the installer with an archiver and get the files that way or how does this work?

You can extract like that , with innoextract.

Thanks!

Quoting: GuestTBH I don't like the (permanent) automatic upload of info to other sites. Especially HW info - how often is that going to change? Why not make it a (main) menu entry 'send HW info to developers'? I'm sure you'd get a LOT more feedback that way.
At least I would opt out, but happily send it once.

Then the devs will only get the hw details of the few people which have a special interest in sharing that details and is how you end up with the false idea that your user base is 55% Linux users because we are more inclined to tell devs that we are that in order to promote our platform.

Please we must be able to distinguish between the collection of simple HW info that is useful to devs like this and the 4k+ data points that can fully profile you and predict your every future action that companies then can sell as a commodity to other companies. Allowing the first is not a slippery slope towards the second.

Btw how does one get the IWAD files out of the Doom bought from GOG, I reckon that it's a Windows installer so do one have to do a wine install and then move some files or is it possible to open the installer with an archiver and get the files that way or how does this work?

Quoting: razing32Are data slurps the new trend ?
I get helping with development but it seems to be a default nowadays . :dizzy:

It's the default because it's so extremely helpful to know exactly what kind of setup your customers actually use.

And it is exactly that kind of wrong doing this. Instead it would be better asking for help and not collecting information as default setting or some kind of opt-out process. Besides: We are not talking about "customers" and instead of that "users". Those steps do irreversible damage to free software!

Then you get data from a very small subset of the users and the data is basically useless. Collecting what HW you have and sending it home anonymized is hardly spying and I have no idea how you can paint this as doing irreversible damage to free software. The collecting that you should worry about is the "who you are and what you do" type of data that Google, Microsoft, Facebook et al collects since that can be used to profile you, the same cannot be said if you happen to have 8 cores or 4.
