But Firefox has always been my favourite, I only switched to chromium and chrome a few years ago because people made fun of me for still using Firefox lol
Since when it's a good reason?! It's beyond me.

Too bad if you need to download something from the saxonica website
Do you have a specific case to test that on my side? I tried to download random things there and it worked so I'm not sure I understand.

They're working to fix it but closed source server and all that.
I'm surprised nobody talks about that, but for me it's really the frustrating thing about this project in the first place, even though it's better than nothing. What a bitter taste.

I'm not British but seeing what UK have done on "Internet related things" laws recently I don't hold my breath. But to be honest EU is not really doing any better... It's the same shit everywhere.

but I still need Chrome installed for the websites that only work with Chrome
Maybe I'm very lucky but I've never seen that kind of websites, so never had to use Chrome in any way. It seems a nightmare.

Is the Steam version DRMFREE?
From what I see on pcgamingwiki: no. I don't know exactly if/where we can verify that on steamdb.info.

The game is also available on GOG but... guess what? No Linux version there!

Open source re-implementation of Caesar III levels up in the new release

@Tevur No, but I just noticed these two projects exist:

https://github.com/dalerank/Akhenaten [External Link] (for Pharaoh)
https://github.com/MaurycyLiebner/eZeus [External Link] (for Zeus)

So I'm very excited about it, as I like them a lot more (I didn't play Caesar III at the time), but didn't tried those yet!

F*ck that "fellow member of the industry".
I hope we'll know who they are, and sooner the better!

Developer of PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation threatens "removing Linux support entirely" but not yet

@tohur As I said it's already there but... from their Github page:

Due to various Flatpak limitations and Flathub randomly breaking regularly, the Flatpak package is not recommended. We recommend that you use the AppImage instead.
And this comment tells a bit more on this situation:
https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/pull/3454#issuecomment-2982578243 [External Link]

Thanks for the PR. I'd be hesitant about adding any permission since flathub displays scary warnings for filesystem access, making it sound like my application is malicious.

Additionally, their silly system requires manual approval of any changes, and the last time it changed, they approved the aarch64 variant but not x86. So I had to push a dummy commit and another release, spamming all users with a notification just because of this pointless process. Much larger app stores such as google play don't require such rubbish.

I'm considering dropping the flatpak for this reason and others, but a middle ground where the CI builds bundles but they're not published on flathub is an option. In which case the added permission is a non issue, and I can just request full filesystem r/o access which solves the portal paths constantly breaking problem too.

Generally speaking, I'm not a huge fan of workarounds for one specific piece of hardware that I don't own and can't debug myself. This sounds like something that should be covered in flatpak itself, not applications.

Alternatively, why can't users just manually add the permission themselves? Or, of course, use the appimage.
