Containers are fine but docker is a pain in the ass that lazy people use when they don’t want to provide clean installation/packaging.

How many times have I seen an equivalent of “we use a custom fork of an obsolete version of an unmaintained package, so if you want to compile it yourself good luck because we forgot how we even did it. Alternatively, you can install the docker version”…

“I refused treatment for my cancer based on a YouTube video and I survived!”

Are you russian by any chance?

Because it’s rare to see the words “anti-russia lies” anywhere else.

Bot or actually stupid spammer?

The guy is a nazi trying to pull off some utterly stupid rethoric of “oh noes the evil trans people are coming to discriminate against us and replace us”.

I’ve never seen something so absurd and would advise the writer to go seek help.

What I’m seeing is a guy who panics because he’s a transphobic piece of shit and is seeing that the world is changing and he won’t be allowed to be discriminatory as much as before. And he’s using the typical crap of “why not sit and talk” that nazis love to use. “Why do you censor my nazi opinions instead of talking about why we should kill black people or not?” would be a similar line.

Github is a private company and as such unfit to protect open source.

What is needed is an autonomous, government funded organisation that will allow the world to get rid of companies making money off the FOSS ecosystem.

There are hellish things such as guix for that.

Or ideally the software needs to be upgraded.

Well the people reporting these issues don’t seem to think they’re irrelevant. You do sound like quite a fanboy, frankly.

If they have done that, then they didn’t fix anything and didn’t do their job. On the contrary, new games being published on GoG have more of the same kind of issues. You’re just defending GoG irrationally.

The first page contains a google doc summarizing all the issues that were reported.

I called you a fanboy for attacking what I said out of superficial points that proved you didn’t bother reading what I linked, all it would have taken was to read the first post.

GoG advertises hand-picked, high quality games (or at least did) so they’re the ones claiming to have the ability to select. This post is enough for anyone in the gog team to contact the companies of the concerned games and discuss those issues. Pretty easy fix if you ask me.

The problem is not abandoned games, but selling them.

The devs can only publish on GoG if GoG lets them.

Multiplayer games existed long before DRMs and it worked. There are many solutions against cheating.

Quality is an issue when GoG advertises hand-picked, high quality games.

If the team is not overworked then it is not working, which is worse. I’d rather assume a lack of means than a lack of work, it’s the charity principle.

That’s a title. Gosh people really are GoG fanboys.

GoG always claimed that they hand-pick only quality games, that they personally negotiate with game companies, etc.

If a game treats gog customers as second class citizens, it means that GoG allows it. The existence of this link on the gog website also means that GoG is aware of it and doesn’t give a shit.

And that was just one example.

Wow, instead of being a jackass try checking your ego.

Did you read the 277 pages of the link? And the Google docs summarising everything?

This is a comprehension issue indeed, your little ego prevented you from even looking more than 5 seconds at what I linked and understanding what it was.

Here’s one: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_that_treat_gog_customers_as_second_class_citizens_v2

Pushing a shitty launcher, selling abandoned games, selling incomplete games, putting DRMs on multiplayer, selling a lot of low quality games, not expanding their overworked team despite the profits they make, etc. It got much worse with the success of the Witcher3 and has kept on going down.

I think there’s even a browser extension that is used to mark shitty games on gog, that have missing features or DRMs. Funny for a platform that has the motto of selling hand-picked, DRM-free games.

With gog becoming shittier constantly I doubt it.

I just use pamac. Almost never have to use pacman directly, except if somehow something broke with pamac, which is rare.

The con of one of then being “is a rootkit”

Let’s forget wine and praise valve then I guess.

Defending javascript syntax is not really a valid thing. Even js devs admit it.
