ve ever managed to convince anyone yet. It would be great if you could elaborate a bit on what you think made some of them listen. In particular the libreboot success is a great one. It's one thing getting people to install certain software, it's totally another to get them to flash their BIOS. -- Steven Hamilton I don't look like two zombies

[libreplanet-discuss] Alive-o?

Hi folks, I haven't seen anything on this list for months. Is it still alive? Is FSF discussion happening elsewhere and I'm missing it? What happened to the GNU Developer Network initiative? Come back y'all! :) -- Steven Hamilton I don't look like two zombies

I see a lot of discussion about the lack of AAA Free Software titles and how to fund game development but nothing about the actual problem. Steam itself. AAA free titles aren't going to happen and they aren't needed. Indie developers rule the gaming world these days. It's these guys that need court

Thanks for the replies all. This thread has been listed on reddit/r/linux and has had a good bit of discussion there as well. I don't think the full impact of Steam is understood. This is a walled garden akin to iTunes. Valve dictate fairly strictly what goes on Steam and they also play the restri
