Quoting: einherjarI fully understand him. The CoC is made by the person saying that:

I can’t wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it’s been infiltrated by SJWs. Hahahah

after the CoC was taken to the Linux kernel.

Source [External Link]

Sure, this is a violation of the CoC (welcoming language). But doesn`t matter, it was one of the good(TM) people. And perhaps she/it/*? will never contribute code to linux kernel. So it`s ok?
I think these SJW people are like cancer. They don't behave like people, who want to make the world a better place. I have the feeling, its more like STASI.
Be welcoming to everyone sounds good. But it seems to mean, "for everyone the SJWs don`t dislike"... and the CoC is the ammo they need against people they dislike.

Very sad

This unfortunately sounds rather true.
The author of the whole thing is also against meritocracy, which has been the driving force behind a lot of development and is simply a well working system within and outside of open-source development.

This sums it up rather nicely:
https://itsfoss.com/linux-code-of-conduct/ [External Link]

As nice as this code of conduct sounds at first, it can and I am certain it will be used against contributors due to how incredibly vague it is.
This is definitely a blow to every open-source project it is applied to, I just hope it won't turn out to be too much of a blow.

On the other hand, it is true that much of the linux community hasn't exactly been known to be the most welcoming environment. This CoC is supposed to change that, but I have my doubts.

He's probably just afraid of being caught spouting some homophobic nonsense or who knows what and being forced out... though I have no idea what he could actually be forced out of. Open-source development? What?

Does anyone know of a list (you know, like the Steam Play compatibility [External Link] list or WineDB) of games for PS3 and how well they run on the emulator?

But... but... but... my toxicity :(
It is often so amusing to browse Steam forums and see the frothing masses at work.

Zombasite was a bit too rough around the edges for me to enjoy, but it looks like this game be just right.
Certainly wishlisted, but I'm not in the habit of playing Early Access games...

Oh yeah, simplex noise is useful for a ton of things.
I'm waiting for the actual 3.1 release (or at least RCs) to continue with my little testing projects.

500 key?! Will there even be enough of us for that who actually like BR games?

That ship building reminds me a lot of Space Pirates And Zombies (which is a fun game), and... do they even use the same font?!

Quoting: elmapulthey should add an icon to compatible games...
but i'm not sure if the steamOS icon is the right icon to use.

Tux should be brought back for Linux compatible games while Steamplay icon remains for translation layer games.

That's actually not a bad idea... The "Tux" icon for native Linux titles, and the "SteamOS/Steam Machine icon for titles which "just work" via Steamplay.

I don't see it happening that way, but I think it's a great idea that Valve Software should implement...

I agree, that would be a great idea.
However, I also don't quite see it coming that way.

Another icon for Steam Play/Proton should definitely happen, though, (in whatever form) it would just be helpful.
