Sales Statistics From Developers Part 3
29 Jul 2014 at 3:56 am UTC

Quoting: scaine...
Ah right - I've just googled it and it was comments that Facepunch's Garry Newman (of Garry's Mod fame) made about Linux. Lots of comments, mostly whine-noise about low sales of Garry's Mod on Linux... as if it hadn't been out for 7 years before being released on that platform. 7 years. Does Newman think Linux users just spring into existence? Or perhaps we migrate from other platforms and thanks to steamplay, already have hundreds of previous purchases from there. Unbelievable.

I would love to support Facepunch, as at least someone in that company appears to "get it", given that comment above, but honestly, I can't bring myself to give this guy my money. Thanks to his ill mannered comments, I actually now regret owning his game from when I was Windows.

And the worst part of that is, I only bought it for one, single LAN-party when there was a bit of peer pressure to buy it for this one mod everyone was wanting to play. Can't even remember its name.
He's Garry, you shouldn't take him seriously. He rants about many things, not only about linux.

Simple Screen Recorder Updated, Recording & Live Streaming Made Easy On Linux
16 Jul 2014 at 7:22 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestYes, I tried it. I assume it’s recording some input, not the output.

Edit: I don’t blame the author because ALSA configuration is far from simple. I managed to capture audio of a game once by creating a “loop” device and telling the (SDL) game to use that device, but then you don’t get to ear the audio that’s being recorded. And IIRC I had to use two different tools to record the video and the audio.
thatswhy you dont use ALSA.
its just too complicated to set stuff up as a normal person who wants simple things done and different volume sliders for different apps.. configuring dmix is pretty hardcore if you need something like that.

im not saying ALSA is bad.

i myself use pulseaudio for regular desktop use (no issues with slightly higher latency for me)..
When i create music, im using JACK anyway.

also i thought SSR 0.3 has been out quite some time...

but i checked..i had git version installed :)
