Quoting: cprnActually, can they legally make improvements and not contribute the changes back upstream? Doesn't Zlib license forbid that? I know it doesn't say so explicitly but it was approved by FSF and I though all FSF approved licenses were based on this premise. Also, if it doesn't, how can it be described as "compatible with GPL"?

You can. You don't have to contribute back. That's the whole concept of forking.

Hopefully this generates some nice income for them. They've been a volunteer project, for what almost 20 years, right? I think I last played it 2009-2010. It's a fun game, but gosh it's hard.

This is very the most respectful "distro-war" thread I've ever seen in my life.

YAY

Thanks! I played Penumbra and it was ok, loved SOMA, mostly for the story, the enemies were kinda silly sometimes. I'll have to be in the mood, but I'll give it a try in the future, I promise!!

SOMA was great!
I've never played Amnesia, though... I believe all the hype that it's super scary, and that's scared me off of it, lol

I have 8bitdo controller for the switch. Really nice controller. I've been wondering about using it with a PC running steam. It's really nice they keep adding support!

Glad they put this information out.
For less technically competent people, like me, how likely are these vulnerabilities to be exploited?

I know there is some degree of difference in how realistic these can be, but nevertheless, I totally agree it's important to update.

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: denyasisCool, I'll be working then. I guess I could put it on in the background on my phone? As long as it doesn't require you to respond or anything if your name is called...

BTW, where did you find that? I was looking around the page in the link from the article, but I must have missed it.
As long as I don't have to respond right away, I might turn it on in my vehicle, turn the volume down, and let it run while I'm working.

If she with Ubuntu. It's fine. Especially if you just want to game or use the system. Not everyone sees computer tinkering as fun. So a stable base for what's more and more consider an "appliance", is perfectly acceptable.

I moved away from Ubuntu years ago as I want to try rolling release distros, but I really can't say anything bad about it in particular.
