So they're just full-on saying that they'll be using an open-source engine's code to clear out 90% of the work for their next 50+$ "engine"? That's legal I guess, but it'll be 'classy' as hell if they don't contribute back some code. I wonder if they did so for Coco2D.
Edit: They open-sourced Pixel Game Maker MV under the MIT license after its sales died down, for what it's worth.

"Disrespect of poor people"
My dude, you never even posted a budget. Gaming mice are usually around a hundred dollars since they're meant to be of a higher build quality, as well as equipped with more, better bells and whistles. Your scoffing every time someone mentions a mouse more expensive than an Amazon basics one doesn't matter if someone is answering your post without having read everything that was said prior.

Man... At this point we really should actively be telling people to stay the hell away from Ubuntu. This is some M$Windows levels of sneaky and borderline malicious behavior.

Where did the duckduck go?

No, but not providing them with personal information like one's email, address, name, phone number or social media accounts, and not screaming "I live within # km of xxx!" by accessing their website with your actual IP address? That kinda helps. Plus, they're definitely blocking any reports made from out of state at this point.

I would be surprised if there wasn't a differently named fork up somewhere within a week. Not like the program itself was infringing on any law.

There's just no winning a legal battle against a spiteful company that could drown you in fees before you even reach a ruling.

Or now they'll admit climate change is a thing. While claiming it's making whales gay.

Game and media preservation, for one. But I'm sure part of it is the technical challenge. There's still websites where you can download those old flash games to run them locally, but one day Adobe Flash player will cease to work on modern operating systems.

Wait, does that mean we can start looking at HDR displays for regular Linux desktops in a near future?

Nope, no thank you... I'm not touching anything other than native, AUR or Flatpak packages. AppImage has only been an inelegant and overall inferior alternative in my experience. The Windows experience, with Linux portability issues. "Find an installer online from some website, have it do whatever the hell it wants, polluting my home folder with random crap and hope it's not a virus" with essentially zero advantages over Flatpak or even Snap.

Yeah… For years I already suggested anything good but Ubuntu to those interested in trying Linux, but now I'm going to directly tell them not to touch it. Sure, you've got lots of online discussions from the past 20-ish years of people teaching each other how to install PPAs for up-to-date versions of programs or drivers and that's sweet. But how about a distro where that stuff is just available out of the box and one that doesn't force you to use snaps as if they didn't cause issues left and right?

Probably never. They're my third option after native packages and built-from-source packages/installs either manually or using the AUR. They're convenient and the only option I tolerate of those newer package styles (Flatpak/Snap/AppImage), but seemingly having to download a new 800+MB runtime for small 32MB applications is ridiculously wasteful and I wouldn't touch them if I didn't have at least a TB of storage.
