Quoting: saturnoyoHas anyone made BoF IV work on Linux? It won't start for me, even when using ProtonGE 10-34 + the launch command "WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b %command%".

I have seen comments saying that it works in steam deck so there must be a way.

It boils my blood that Capcom finally decided to release so many great old games on Steam at a quite fair price, like Dino Crisis 1-2 and the original Resident Evil games, and all of them are so broken on Linux.

Quoting: F.UltraThey actually do (to some extent), if you are a songwriter you have to register each work you create to PRS. Organizations that then pay license to PRS have to also track which song is played so the payouts is actually divided per how much your music was played.

Quoting: scainePure greed. Plain and simple. Just a bunch of copyright trolls.

Why be paid for our music once when we can bully storefronts to be paid for the exact same effort multiple times!?

Exactly. It goes beyond storefronts too. These organizations are bureaucratic parasites that unfortunately have been legally sanctioned to do this (at least, in Canada, they have).

I used to sit on a civil government board that oversaw a community hall. Our manager brought to us a demand that the facility pay a fee to cover music played or performed in the facility. This was the first I'd ever heard of such a thing.

The manager investigated further and discovered that not only was there a group with their hands out for playing pre-recorded music or for live performances but there was another parasite demanding "royalties" on behalf of the composers, authors and -- of all things -- the publishers too. Their ability to collect these "royalties" is actually backed by Canadian law. Furthermore, there is some sort of connection to the World Trade Organization as well.

While trying to recall the name of the initial group that contacted us, I discovered that, in Canada, there are FOUR federally-sanctioned nonprofits with their hands in the music royalties pie. It is obscene.

Studies have shown that very little of the fees actually make it to the composers and performers of the music. IMO, it is just a parasitic scam to enable the existence of these trolls.

Quoting: kit89I do believe they should have age statements, and other additional meta information stored within the file, or data sent to a device.

In the UK, media (DVDs, Blurays, etc) have an age restriction as well as additional details about what content one can expect to see.

This meta packet could be standardised, and the device that has been asked to open a file can check this meta packet to determine if the user's account has the correct permissions to do so.

This means no personal data is being sent to a third-party, a parent can decide to override the default behaviour if they choose.

I really don't like these laws that dictate 'how' something should be implemented, it should be specifying the 'what'.
