[quote=Hori]This is a very ugly thing that I didn't know about.

Its the reason you cannot buy any of the bond games on steam or any other platform such as 007 goldeneye 007 legends and 007 bloodstone as actvision let the licence expire same thing with some of the lesser games such as wolverine origins and the deadpool game from 2014 it happens fairly often if you own it you have it for life as i have both mad max which is very underrated and shadow of loot box which is okay.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80The difference here is simple though Amazon actively use blender as do facebook i doubt Amazon gaming or facebook gaming use gadot for anything thats not a pop at the engine which looks to be improving with every release. As for the infastructure side i would love to see that funded more but that would really only come from the server side if there was a cost vs deployment benefit it would be funded quicker for sure.

Yeah, I'm not saying that these companies should fund all projects, just that more companies should look at the long-term benefit of funding all the things they benefit from, and throw some coppers at a variety of projects.

Apparently I missed the mark with the Gimp suggestion, since they don't want any money, but there are projects that do, and could make good use of it. The OpenSSL example was because Heartbleed happened when everyone was using the OpenSSL library but the project could only afford two developers. Now that example was sufficiently high profile that a fund for some of those infrastructure things was created, although I don't know how healthy or expansive it is after this time has passed.

I'm just hoping that people that use open source software will come to a wider realisation that, "the more you share, the more your bowl will be plentiful," rather than only funding the same projects.

Oh I agree i would rather use an open source solution for any application part of the reason i switched to linux in the first place currently only closed source software on my rig is office 365 but that is a reaquirement for my job

What do you think to all these companies announcing their support on Blender over the last year or two? Pretty amazing to see so many companies seemingly just wake up to how important open source is.

I'd like to see other projects being the target of that mutually-beneficial PR boost as well. Yes, content creation is a fundamental aspect of lots of industries, so it's appropriate that Blender get funding from the people that benefit from it, but they aren't the only one. I expect Gimp or Godot could do with a shot in the arm, too, as well as infrastructure things like OpenSSL.

Glad to see valve adopting basically Glorious Eggroll Proton and is def the version I am going to be running in about two minutes. As for the game I played it 1600x900 medium 40 to 50 fps playable for me, and i refunded it not for the bugs it just really for me not that fun i went in thinking well i loved the witcher series pacing and story mixed with fun combat. After 1.45 minutes later when i finished the prologue i came out thinking, I am really not feeling it just not fun for me the combat is sluggish borderlands sluggish numbers pop off people despite the loot system telling me i had a high damage gun. No spoilers here but those that have played past the prologue well god bless you and i hope you like the rest of the game.

Never heard of them not sure what sort of orders they would of needed to stay open but the fact nobody seems to of heard of them save one person and even they had a bad experience I would suggest that nobody is going to notice.
I would love a system 76 desktop but way to expensive for hardware inside especially once you apply customs tax to the postage costs.

Quoting: scaineI should have known better to raise the emulator thing on GOL... :grin:

Ubuntu Unity was among the best DE's in existence

Glad I got all that off my chest. And it's Friday! Roll on the weekend. Have a good one, everyone!

I agree with everything you said except this unity is a punishment in some countries but everything else a very articulate ree

Quoting: TheRiddickIs Apple ditching Metal API? I heard it has been left in the dust and the games that do run on it don't perform too well.. this is why you embrace open standards!

I don't think they have announced anything but the new apple cpus are ARM based and are APUS with apple enhanced versions of mali so gaming is not really their focus. The apple silicon has the Vram for the system on the CPU its as far removed from x86 architecture as it can get according to linus.

Quoting: seveni hope resident evil 2 is fixed

VKD3D 2.0 fixed RE2 and 3

On Windows, I remember the games performing better in DirectX 11 compared to 12. Silly question, but is that the case with Linux as well?

Well yes and no DX11 is more or less feature complete with vxdk in wine so you should get better frame rates than dx12. But the fact that any dx12 game runs well hell even runs is amazing given how long it took feature completion in dx9 games.

That is not a knock on crossover/wine guys they had limited funding back then.

Sounds like they are putting a great deal of work into this distro, also sounds like its much better option for anyone with an atari console rather than the baked in distro.
