sounds like people should go play https://pokemmo.com/ before it gets C&D’d.

not exactly news
but still worth researching what the consequences of this were

Add the “Activate Linux” watermark as well.
The one from https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux

The term that is often used for that is “source available”. Good example of other software in this category would be what, Unreal Engine?

Heard good things about https://plausible.io/

Was it Yahtzee? Sounds like something he would come up with.

Communities as in what exactly?
The Community Hubs for specific games or various groups that people made?
In either case, it’s probably better to intentionally stay out of there, since you know that you generally dislike the content there.
Or, you could try to find a user group that has rules and moderates content in a way that you agree with.
But overall, Steam is platform for video games, which are generally considered to be fun, so it is to be expected that other variations of “fun” will be present there as well.

Will it have any fallback systems so that it remains playable even when servers go down?
if not, it is another candidate for stopkillinggames.com

Wait, I was told that Core Decay development was halted, that the game was cancelled.

ah, ok, I was thinking of “Galileo”:

does author know about the Deckard thing that Valve is supposedly working on?
from what I understand, it will be some kind of Steam Machine with focus on In-Home Streaming.

there is a #dead_game_news channel in AF Discord
and there is !accursed_farms, but there is not much going on in there.

doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

(Statista, Blackdown)

wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

Sup dawg, heard you like remaked

Funny how people tend to quote Linus Torvalds on technical issues in order to prove a point. I hear the guy barely made it through college.

Actually, I lied about even that. I was thrown out of fourth grade because I couldn’t write my own name, and it’s been all downhill from there. I had to lie about getting into college just so that I’d have better chances of making a career here at McDonalds - if you have a college degree (or you lied about having one), they don’t make you scrape the burger pans.

heh, he had good sense of humour already back in 1999

there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

Other comments already pointed to some very good software solutions.
But I would argue that absolutely the biggest barrier to entry for the masses is hardware.
Restoring an old PC or making some cable spaghetti with some SBC is currently too advanced for average person.
Self-hosting for the masses would require some new form of home servers.
Something modular, where adding new components would be as easy as playing with Lego bricks.

OH REALLY?

heh, good one
