That's interesting.

Assuming they're hosting the project on GitHub, I did a search but the only repo I found that seems relevant is the backend SpacetimeDB mentioned in the article: https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB.

Do they really intend to open the source of the entire game? Or just the backend?

Hi and welcome! :)

On one side, I'm one of those glad for people coming to Linux because Linux is truly fantastic and it can make your life easier on many things, I'm happy for them.

On the other side, I share your concerns, because everything that gets adopted by the masses is inevitably subject to enshittification, I would never want that to happen to Linux.

We should find a sweet middle-point tho I have no idea what that would be.

I surely hope they never will, no user program should ever be allowed to run at kernel level, that's what malware does.

I personally avoid those kind of games, but those who won't can dual-boot.

I'm not importing anything either, I'll let everything go with the instance.

New home, new discoveries as you said :D

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I understand the technical point of view and yes, they definitively wrote on their lemmy.world "copy" of this thread given how the fediverse work, tho they should be able to see which instance each post originates from.

I most probably worded my answer very poorly, I was at a loss of words, not only because of what I perceived as incoherent behaviour, but also because of the circumstances.

I mean, I'm a lemm.ee "refugee" like many in this thread, I registered here only 2 days ago, still very sad for the loss of .ee, the admins wrote a fantastic welcome post for all of us, and of all the things they could say they come here to remark what they think of the domain? Seriously ?!?

Not the one you're asking but I've been dual-booting Windows and Linux on my gaming desktop for many years, every time a build a new PC, disabling "secure boot" AND "fast boot" in the BIOS is the very first thing I do and I never had problems (I play on Linux but I keep Windows for testing in case I want to report a bug).

Fast boot is even more troublesome, since it's a Windows specific feature that allows it to not truly shutdown so it can startup faster later, but that can cause locks for other OS that won't work correctly.

In theory, Linux should be able to support secure boot (not fast boot), but since that one too was made for Windows, there are cases in which it could cause problems, I will always disable it just to be on the safe side.

So, .zip is so bad that you block the entire domain on your home network yet you're here commenting?

.. just wow ...

Do you really believe they don't have backups? Especially since it seems selling content for AI training was their plan for quite a while?

Or that they didn't make full backups a couple years ago before the protest, anticipating a lot of users would try to delete their comments?

I think the only way to truly delete anything from reddit would be living in EU and enforcing a GDPR request, but even in that case, I believe it would be very difficult to check they actually comply.

Why? It's the point of Lemmy, being able to participate in communities regardless of where they're hosted and where your account is registered.

Mine was a ZX Spectrum, my father bought it for me when I was 12 years old, good times haha :D
