And artists are getting paid peanuts in return.
Album sales have plummeted and Spotify are slowly replacing real artists with AI generated music to avoid needing to pay them.
Music streaming is an excellent example of what we don’t want to happen to another art form.
Probably little incentive to do so given how much money they’re making from Twitch, YouTube, etc.
As one of those old farts that picked up Minecraft during the 0.0.x days, this isn’t far off. Wrong perspective though.
OpenMW and TES3MP is a great way to enjoy Morrowind in a modern engine and with friends.
There’s plenty of mods available for OpenMW so you can make it look stunning and add loads of new functionality.
They’ve sold between 5 and 8 million copies of that game to date.
I think they’re doing fine without needing a sale and devaluing their product.

Nah
I’ve been on the Profiling branch for a couple of years and these changes are awesome. Tanoa was unplayable for me until I switched.
Kudos for Bohemia’s continued support for A3 while we wait for A4 (Reforger has also been a fantastic glimpse of the future of their engine).
I’ve helped two “normies” movie this week because they reached out after they saw the chatter on social (Instagram of all places).
This topic seems to be causing you some stress for something that probably doesn’t have a big impact on you personally.
This isn’t going to be a tidal wave as change is slow. People are hyping it because hype drives attention and being hopeful and positive drives change better than negativity and pessimism.
Again, just scroll past the posts rather than engage if the content isn’t what you’re interested in.
You may be getting bored of the posts but this is a rare opportunity to mass drive Linux adoption and break many people’s dependence on Microsoft.
Even if it’s 0.1%, there’s 1.4 billion Windows 10 machines out there. A million+ new Linux users would be great progress.
If you’re exhausted, just scroll on by. But if you’re a fan and user of FOSS, you should be giving these posts a quick upvote and move on with your day rather than be negative and dissuading the popularisation on Linux.
I’m passing on the Switch 2 for similar reasons.
I can either fund Nintendo to sue open source developers or I can fund Valve who are payrolling open source developers.
They’ve fixed most but “new new” still seems to be there and that “of”.
Bloody hell that article wasn’t even proof read once before publishing. So many grammar and spelling issues!
I’m sure there’s a decent fork. Read the code; there’s not much to it!
If you’re on the same network, take a look at snapdrop. It’s basically cross platform AirDrop.
What’s the context in which you’re needing to share files?
My first thought is host your own FTP server and send people credentials to log into it with and upload.
If true, that’s ridiculous. If I were Apple, I’d be throwing money at CodeWeavers to get Proton-like capabilities into macOS.
Apple Game Porting Toolkit 2 kind of makes it clear Apple aren’t trying to force developers to make native games; taking a similar approach to Steam and Proton (Game Porting Toolkit is based on CodeWeavers’ CrossOver, the same developers working on Proton with Valve).
Quid umquam pro nobis Romani fecerunt?
They pushed their own init system, Upstart, before jumping onto the systems bandwagon.
