Abuse of passionate gamers (& sucking 'er money off via lies) on crowdfunding platforms 💸 🤔

◉The devs are FREE to break their promises
◉Stretch goals (more money) aren't mandatory to be fulfilled
◉Fraudsters walk without any penalty

Not illegal tho? 🤞

After having people's cash for empty promises - what can these "consumers" do about it?

Shame on you Nightdive Studios ..

System Shock for Linux was a stretch goal►https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock/posts/4106201

Windows to Linux victories ✌️ 📈

"I just switched to Linux and i feel like i got a new PC.

Linux just fixed a lot of problems i had on Windows. For example my Steam dl speed on Windows sucks hard, 15MB/s max and stuttering.

I thought my SSD just dying cuz i always had that issue on both win10 and 11.

But after installing Nobara Linux i got surprised .. dl speed 60MB/s without stuttering.

Games also run much better which is weird".

Nintendo keeps bully mode up | Free Software Foundation could have a case here? :fsf: :fsfe:

SuYu (Yuzu fork) on strangle hold. Nintendo kicks those who'd actually bring profit from their old games!

What about preserving gaming culture / history, Nintendo?

SuYu goes via GPLv3 license. FSF could eye on Nintendo - start tracking potential GPL violations?

Nintendo is clearly taking this as far as they CAN. This company is out of touch.

Yes; support for Windows 10 ends already on October 2025.

Devoted fans of Windows 11 appear scarce - its possibly the most despised Windows ever?

Now - PC folk flock around Linuxers for help; which distro suits oneself best..?

:ubuntu: Ubuntu / Mark Shuttleworth taking a stance on crypto apps 📏

"I see our mission as trying to improve the safety of Linux for its users.

Other Linux app distribution mechanisms (PPAs, Github builds, OBS, or even the containerised ones like Flatpak) don’t have nearly the same technical measures for confinement that Snaps do.

If we ban cryptocurrency apps from the Snap Store then those users will simply get apps from those unconfined sources".

That's right folks - "Windows is no longer profitable so Microsoft is turning it into Linux to lessen the burden" :thinkhappy:

◉Microsoft is now bringing sudo (known from Linux) to Windows
◉GZ-archive support already in
◉SSH already in for Windows
◉Other Linux-like features / WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
