  • Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.

    But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.

    And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.


  • Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).

    For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.




  • Not to defend that asshole, but calling his wife a peadophile may be inexact. Maybe a cougars, but not a paedophile.
    We unfortunately have mostly first party testimony on how their love began, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but according to them it was Macron that fell in love, and wooed her first.
    She refused, because he was underage at that time (and she was his teacher), but once he bacame an adult, he doubled down. And we know the result of that.
    Of course that ask the question of possible grooming, but considering he is mature enough to think for himself, I think it isn’t something for us to judge.
    Now if she surrounded herself with some kind of harem of youger men, that’d be a lot more suspect, but to this day they seem to be an harmonious couple, and faithful to each other.
    Let’s not judge hastily other people love and story. There are probably a lot of other reasons we do not know.


  • Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).

    Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
    The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
    The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
    I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂).
