I'll pass this sales as my wishlist is not much this year...

Just,
- Completing all The Sims 3 DLCs
- Life is Strange: Before the Storm (already bought this morning)
- still hoping VP brings MXGP3..
and that's it..

Also, due to Ringgit weakening, some Steam games prices' starts to jacking up.So, Steam sales may not give any significant "savings"...

Quoting: DrMcCoy

Quoting: ShmerlWhat I wonder about, is whether exFAT and ActiveSync implementations can be used in Linux distros without patent threats from MS now.

No: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2018/10/10/microsoft-oin-exfat.html [External Link]

Most importantly, the non-aggression pact only applies to the upstream versions of software, including Linux itself. [...] While we at Conservancy were successful in getting the code that implements exfat for Linux released under GPL (by Samsung), that code has not been upstreamed into Linux. So, Microsoft has not included any patents they might hold on exfat into the patent non-aggression pact.

Well, exFAT patent is how Microsoft cashing Android ($5 to $15 per device royalty) and among big obstacle for Linux mobile devices. Hell no they'll open it.

Damn... MS nowadays becoming so desperate. Luckly I'm never big fan of RPG except a few games. So no big loss for me.

But that's the reality, you'll have to take that "big offer" and "selling out". Because at the end of the day, you have to "feed" your family at home.

And Xbox fans... Rejoice!

Well, this is a prove Steam Play/Proton works. More Windows gamers might wanted to try Linux and/or might not need dual-boot anymore.

Also, PUBG already declining on PC in my hometown. Most people I know (who's gamers) playing Fortnite (some) or PUBG on mobile (most) because both are free-to-play and plus as mobile games, it can be played anywhere.

Well, it have significant flaw here. Some cheap non-brand (sometimes faked) controller are emulating/using/tricking as Xbox 360 drivers to work on Windows instead "others".

Also, just avoid reading steamcommunity comments. As usual.

If you can't run it on Ubuntu 18.04, you're not alone. They seem to be having issues with it not working on the latest Java, hopefully they will solve that in time. For now they're telling people to use Java 8. More info on the issue here and here.

Now I know why MediathekView [External Link] isn't working properly for a few weeks after I'm updating to 18.04.

p/s: Nope, I don't understand German. But, If I wake up Sunday morning and Terrestial TV, Youtube and Vimeo videos not interesting, Mediathekview is my entertainment.

Quoting: GuestHonestly, you shouldn't apologize. You've noticed a trend that has been affecting pretty much every major tech entity. It was bound to hit Linux sometime.

To be clear, I don't think it's some goberment or deepstate conspiracy. It's just a lot individuals with similar and often disastrous ideological backgrounds who's goals and desires line up, so they help each other get to the top.

Well, that's the Asian way to expressing "I'm respecting your view". I don't like outrage and don't like be unreasonable.

Right now, I'm living in a country that crawl-learning to democracy (supposely), free speech (supposely), right to everyone regardless background (a success but still needs to improve) and most importantly, right to dissent (supposely). We still considered as "less free country". So, anything I said based on my experience from my "home".

The "coincidence" part not refers to goverment conspiracy. I saying based from past history I learned before. I don't want to describe any further. Remember, I'm not a "westerner", people..

Again, I neither support nor against Linux CoC, I'm neutral (as I'm not directly affected). BUT, we must look the reason why people support or against on CoC because every outrages always have every reasons. As I say: We need a public discussion to listen what, why, how or anything community wants to say! Or we won't moved forward.. RIGHT NOW! and that's DEMOCRACY!.

Quoting: jarhead_hM$ and Google are both walled-garden companies. This year Linux started playing Windows games and next year Purism launches a Linux smartphone that uses nothing from Android and completely bypasses Google entirely(or Microsoft). Both companies already have what they wanted from their own dabbles with Linux, so why not toss in a bunch of fuel and an emergency flare to try to light it?

If anyone looks at my past comments, it's obvious. As I said, tech world now nearing to "the junction"

Off topic:
FYI, I'm won't entertains to anyone who wants to look for argument. I'm here for learn and contribute for Linux and Linux gaming only. Also remember, life isn't black and white. It's a million shades of grey.

That's enough from me. Thank you

Quoting: tonRp/s: I'm suspicious.. All this bullshit happen on weird time where technology world nearing "the junction" ... Coincidence??

Again that's consipiracy talk.
Or let me rephrase it another way :
When you take an even just surface level course in polemology you see that civil rights movement across history has a tendency to pop up when the economical and technical situation of a group gets comfortable enough that those questions can become one of the focus of said community.

It is in fact according to all polemologist a good sign that the community is indeed living through a golden period.

So yes until now some members of the community have piped down and suffered in silence but suffered nonetheless. And now that we're getting a bit comfy because we're being listened to and being heard as an overarching family, some members are demanding basic respect to be where it never was.

So the timing is not suspicious looking in fact the very fact that that kind of convos are at the full front these days and considered news worthy just goes to show that we're getting legit and recognized by outsider groups.

Come on, I'm sorry, not grinding any conspiracy. I'm just saying because almost 10 years I'm following Linux news, this year (2018) lots of huge development happening in Linux community. So, that's why I little suspicious when this (or any) outrages happens. After all, I'm human. Suspicious is part on human life, cannot avoid it.

Move on topic, everything aren't black and white. We need to discuss the CoC fast.

p/s: Don't want to p/s anymore.. :'(

If you don't want to appear like you're throwing conspiracy talk maybe don't be dismissive.
Again even the folk that this CoC is suppose to protect , queer folk like me , or women aren't agreeing with the current one because we all agree on the fact that it's exploitable as all hell.
Where we DO disagree is on the necessity to have a CoC and the nay sayers are just rabid and downright aggressive. Again folk like me who are the "target that this shield is suppose to protect" we are used to CoC's and also have our objections. We just refuse to be dehumanized just because some dudes are upset because we're telling them "no you can't say the F word no more" .

In other words in the PS of yours that I originally quoted the use of the word bullshit made you sound dismissive of the issue altogether.

I'm understand. I should need to be careful next time. And also improve my English further. Thank you for explaination.. Again, I'm sorry..
