Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
Let us just say I agree, digital restrictions are my biggest gripe though, though even proprietary software without those restrictions should have a very short life given that they become obsolete in less than 5-10 years. But moreover copyright is becoming like Donald trump. You may think its harmless at first, but once it is a part of the law, you will think otherwise, The corporate world probably would be up in arms against the first three lines that i wrote but they are like tombstones that are painted fresh. On the outside they look better, but on the inside, same old, same old...
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
yep... As I always say though, Digital Restrictions Management is the biggest menace of proprietary software. still software licenses lasting 70 years? what idiot was on crack when they thought that up... Someone was snoring at the wheel to do something that insane and moronic.
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
Because they are proprietary lab rats.
Re: [Trisquel-users] im new on linux, hi -- trisquel x ubuntu
Welcome! :D I'm also from Brazil, and speak Brazilian Portuguese, of course. I've been using Trisquel for about two or three years. And I'm staying with it mainly because Trisquel **is** some thing that Ubuntu isn't: free/libre as in freedom, not price. I started studying the free/libre software movement, its philosophy, and **true** goals since 2011. Since the end of 2015 have been a free/libre software activist myself and have been trying to reignite the free/libre software movement here (because 90% of the people that talk about it here in Brazil don't speak out or don't set our goals as priority when challenged). Besides, feel free to ask anything related to Trisquel here. You can also ask questions related to free/libre software movement in general, but this place serves as support for Trisquel users, since there's a specific mailing list for general discussion about free/libre software. I'm also available to answer your questions privately, if you do want to talk in Brazilian Portuguese instead. Just ask us, even if you might already know the answer! It's better to be well informed than misinformed. :D By the way, you're using GNU+Linux Ubuntu, and I hope you'll be using GNU+Linux Trisquel, not just "Linux Ubuntu" or "Linux Trisquel". :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Scripts are a problem, but not the only problem. The entire Build engine is proprietary, as I mentioned, and would need to be replaced. Frankly, I don't think it's worth the effort.
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
Copyright, if we even have it (I don't think we should), should not last 20 years at all. There's no need for a "forced free software license".
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
JFSW uses the Build engine. The Build engine is proprietary. This is no different from e.g. a game made with Unity3D. I'm getting a sense of deja vu here.
[Trisquel-users] Re : im new on linux, hi -- trisquel x ubuntu
See https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software Trisquel's default install includes the Synaptic package manager too. It provides a finer control on the installed packages. And here is a documentation to install the latest version of MATE desktop environment (from PPA): https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-mate
Re: [Trisquel-users] im new on linux, hi -- trisquel x ubuntu
Trisquel takes Ubuntu and removes proprietary software. You can make Trisquel work just like Ubuntu, although some devices might not work without the proprietary software. You should try it and you will probably be presently surprised. As you are from Brasil, please read this for more information: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/documenta%C3%A7%C3%A3o-portugu%C3%AAs-br
[Trisquel-users] im new on linux, hi -- trisquel x ubuntu

Re: [Trisquel-users] I saw some posts about an operating system called qubes os on this website,
Hmm... I still would like a libre system with that kind of security someday.
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
I take it a step further, after 20 years any restrictions or digital restrictions as they are called should be completely lifted after 20 years. and it should be forced into some free software license. even if it is as small as the mit/x11 license.
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
Oh, I didn't know how important in-engine scripting was to the FOSS community. Had I known that I wouldn't have said anything about Quake. What about a re-implementation of the asset scripts?
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
How can one still not release an engine that is over 20 years old is beyond my understanding, I mean I get the concept of greed, but still.. I want the source engine freed :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
I thought JFSW was GPL
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
I think this might not be the place
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
What GPL engine? Last time I checked, the Build engine is under a custom license that prohibits non-commercial use and even distribution in any manner other than "the INTERNET".
[Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
https://www.gog.com/game/shadow_warrior_complete That's funny because just yesterday I ran a game distribution platform that will not be named in Wine so I could download all the games I bought that have free implementations of their engine either feature complete or in the works and I downloaded 42! (Of which you can't even buy those "for linux") I'm a "on the fence" free software enthusiast, but I respect the free software culture and wouldn't normally talk about purchases on a drm riddled non-free platform, but I thought I'd bring it up because it's an interesting coincidence and I would buy all of those again if they were on GOG. (some are) Pic of Games I bought that have free engines in attachment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Foxconn T77H348.02 with Atheros AR9462 AR5B22 chipset and Bluetooth support with the "ATH9K"
I have a Dell desktop with Wifi card where there is Wifi without firmware, but Bluetooth doesn't work. But are the M.2. cards actually working without proprietary software or is there some software stored on a flash chip (other than the basic stuff on the regular Mini PCIE cards) that is equivalent to the OS-loaded firmware?
