Quoting: devlandIn the digital world the rule of law starts with the EULA which is enforced by copyright laws.

Aren't EULAs handled under contract law?

It depends, but as far as contract law goes here in the US, what software companies don't want you to know is that EULAs are by themselves both unenforceable and by-and-large not worth the fonts they're written in. They are no more binding than a handshake until you actually use the product, then it becomes both binding and enforceable by law.

Even then, unreasonable EULAs have been laughed out of courtrooms before. Companies who bury the fine print have found this out the hard way.

I know they are dodgy here in the EU, and courts have found them unenforceable. Glad to hear it is the same in the US.

Quoting: redneckdrowTo quote ContractCounsel: The EULA protects only the copyright owner. In fact, not only does the vendor own the license, but they also legally own any private data that the consumer entered into the software. These software owners can access, read, or share this private consumer data in any way they want.

Thankfully, we have the GDPR [External Link], it aint perfect but it is a start... As a society we need to sit down and get to grips with how we want to treat people's information. Personally, I hope you guys get something similar soon.

I couldn't get through their blog post, but reading the first couple of paragraphs I kinda get the feeling they got a case of the NFT/Metaverse kool-aid. :huh:

Will this work with the original media, and if so how do I get the files installed on linux? :huh:

Should work, you can install it using regular wine and then unzip the OpenNox files into the installation directory. (i.e. next to Nox.exe)

Weird! I was just reminiscing about Nox with my brother the other day and have been in the mood to play Nox since, and then this news drops!

I take it at as a sign by the gods that I should indeed play the game again!

To the downloads, and beyond!

Yeah, me either. It's surprising how few outlets seem to realise that PC means "Personal Computer", not "Microsoft Windows". :tongue:

The Microsoft Monopoly's propaganda machine is stronk.

Quoting: propertyI've previously ordered a laptop from System76 before they had a German keyboard layout and learned the hard way that the US layout has less keys.

I'm really glad that they do well and can expand to other markets.

This has always been the blocker for me when considering laptops from the smaller vendors. Since I write my native language a lot I need to have a 105-key ISO layout at least, and preferably the Nordic one. But it is rare to be able to get.

I fully understand why small vendors might not be able to offer the non-ANSI one, but unfortunately they shut off a lot of markets that way. :unsure:

This looks awesome, and music by Laura Shigihara?! I'm getting this.

Quoting: Cybolic

Quoting: elmapulloved the music on the trailer, couldnt figure out the lang

Seeing as it's written and performed by Laura Shigihara [External Link], I'd venture a guess and say it's Japanese. I don't speak Japanese though, so I could be wrong.

It isn't Japanese at least, but as for what it can be I don't know. Could also be invented.

Quoting: einherjarThe thing I miss is, that people listen to each other and then discuss things. But today it mostly is like identifiying the other as right or left.

While I share your sentiment, and hope for the future, for the sake of the discussion let's be clear that such an enlightened time have never actually existed.
