Godot [...] is open-source. By proxy, Slay the Spire 2 is also open-source.

Written by somebody who naively thinks open-source means: the source code can be viewed.

Typical game journalism incompetence.

skill issue

but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

Licensing money.

I have a funny storry:

there is a book I really wanted to read. It is an old af psychology science book. There is no pirated version of it anywhere.

I found one copy of it on the used market and bought it because the price was ok (70$).

At home, I open it up and go through it properly and see that THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER WAS CUT OUT!!! Literally there were the ends of the pages still bound with strings and you can see a wavy scalpel cut where the rest of the page would be.

Thats the physical equivalent of an incomplete torrent. Felt so bad.

mainstream

is the keyword here. Mainstream is really big.

They come for the lions share first. You do nothing because you think you're unaffected. Then later they will come for you. And nobody will do anything for you either.

Of course, professional criminals like yourself (sarcasm) will find a way to escape the law. But I doubt it's nice to live on the edge of society like that anyway, being unable to interact with most services.

The original ‘28 Days Later’ is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

Piracy is a service issue.

The one I installed, obviously.

a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed

Switch to self-hosting headscale when they enshittify in an attempt to become profitable, duh

Aaah finally, malware for Linux, truly the year of the Linux Desktop!

tldr:

• life, work, family reasons for one of the guys. Nothing negative, he just has no time for the podcast anymore but will show up in their linux podcast from time to time in the future.

Unintuitive.

I heard of photoshop when I was 13 and I installed a pirated version, just started clicking around and I always found what I wanted in a minute.

10 Years later, I switch 100% to Linux, I have to do some light design work, I open gimp - I CLICK AROUND FOR HALF AN HOUR FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE - can't find it to save my life. Give up and google it, it gives me a reply like yours "just go to a completely unrelated menu to conjure a hack out of your ass that barely resembles what you originally intended to do".

Fuck that UX man. I am so glad pirated photoshop works well in wine nowadays and I have a VM with a legit Adobe suite if I ever need to actually whip up my license for some reason (fuck adobe as well btw.)

I pray that one day there is a real competitor that works natively on Linux. I pay, take my hard earned money every month, whatever it takes, just make it intuitive and reach near feature parity with PS.

If anybody is still reading, sorry for venting, the GIMPs always trigger me, have a nice day.
