From dgVoodoo's readme:

0. Watch out for

There can be certain frameworks, launchers and similar craps orbiting out there - like Lutris - bundling dgVoodoo (and who knows how many others there are). This one, for example, runs on a system based on a bloated, multiversion, hack-f(or)est Win32 impleme imitation that cannot even run dgVoodoo, just some old, outdated version (probably in a shitty way) and even that one is defective. I mean, only a few components are shipped - the ones they can't replace by anything else. So, when you're using dgVoodoo on a luxfuxOS distro in such an environment, then:

Keep in mind that you are not getting the full dgVoodoo experience; do not identify this with dgVoodoo
You're not welcome anyway
Nothing screams integrity like using proprietary crap while preaching open-source purity. Bravo, you hypocritical fuck

@Lutris: now that you archived the dgvoodoo2 project on your GitHub page to silence me (btw, FuckYou to you for that), you could finally ditch dgVoodoo itself as well, just like I asked. Anyway, you're now going against the developer's disapproval / license.
You're hated. <finger emoji> <finger emoji> Think about it every time you stumble upon anything dgVoodoo-related when rummaging through your files garbage.

What an utter child...

(PS. I saw fit to replace the emojis with text.)

This policy is comparable to saying "You're allowed to copy-paste parts of proprietary codebases into Fedora contributions, as long as you leave a comment saying which proprietary product you are copying from"

It wasn't very evident from what I skimmed through yesterday, might have missed something, but yeah, that bit seems to not have gone past legal at all...

It just seems to invite an uncessary risk for fedora at this point. Humans breaking copyright is something that courts have dealt with and we have good idea for how that will work out, but AI? The wise and responsible thing to do is sit quietly in the boat until courts have decided how to classify AI generated content and who is legally responsible for the output.

Regardless if one agrees with the courts future decisions or not, or agrees or disagrees with copyright in general, it is the law of the land and one can still be held responsible for breaking a law they don't personally agree with.

I couldn't name you a single developer not using AI tools at least in some capacity these days. It's just them accepting reality of software development these days.

I can! Me.

Ah, so what we are talking about here is peer pressure?

Indeed, good choice of term, though when passive peer pressure turns into active peer pressure the line to bullying isn't far off.

I've been both victim and perpetrator enough times to know that not all forms of bullying caries "actual malice". But even if we are not conciously being mean to someone, it does not mean we aren't being mean to them.

I think we, as a society, should apply peer pressure with responsibility to end cases where it passes the line. To quote Uncle Ben "With great power; comes great responsibility. Also, your aunt said to wash your hands before dinner."

Not wanting to be bullied is a solid reason to do what the bullies want you to do?
Hm.
Will this make the person happy?
Will it make the person feel free?
Will it at least stop the bullying?
I'm my experience, they'll find something else.
Because bullying is not actually about what you're doing or wearing.

Different type of bullying. You are referencing the typical school yard bully out to get someone. The OP is referring to bullying within a relationship, like among friends.

So sometimes you pick your battles. The person that sparked this discussion did just that. They chose to give up the battlefield of browsers because it was less of a cost to them than to deal with whoever they had to deal with.

And even with school yard bullies; "just resist" sounds great and noble on paper, in reality it does squat, you might as well take some ammo away from them and hope they target someone else. Since ss you say with that type of bully they don't care what it is about or who they are targetting, they are just gunning for the easy marks.

EDIT: Or to say it more succinctly, you missed the entire point of my comment. I pointed out that we should not put the blame on the victim, we should put the blame on the bully.

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.

@Cyril, "not wanting to get bullied", tends to be a pretty solid reason to do something.

Now why someone would feel the need to make fun of someone else for using a certain brand of a tool over another brand of the same tool; that is the thing we should shake our collective heads at.

Ace Attorney and Megaman Battle Network are fantastic games!

But €37 is a steep ask for a humble bundle, right? :huh:

It does seem to really be just an engine remaster, but hey, at least it is reasonably priced. And owners of the original get 30% off, allegedly, which is always nice.
