Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.

EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(

This is a summary from @Essence_[email protected]:

TL;DW:

  • Patrick Breyer and Niklas Nienaß submitted questions to the European Commission on the topic of killing games (the latter in contact with Ross and two EU based lawyers).
  • EU won't commit to answering whether games are goods or services.
  • EULA are probably unfair due to imbalance of rights and obligations between the parties.
  • Such terminations should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis (preferably by countries rather than EU).
  • Existing laws don't seem to cover this issue.
  • Campaign in France seems to be gaining some traction. Case went to "the highest level where most commercial disputes submitted to DGCCRF never go".
  • UK petition was suppose to get a revised response after the initial one was found lacking. Due to upcoming elections all petitions were closed and it might have to be resubmitted.
  • Also in UK, there's a plan to report games killed in the last few years to the Competition and Markets Authority starting in August (CMA will get some additional power by then apparently).
  • No real news from Germany, Canada or Brazil.
  • Australian petition is over and waiting for a reply. Ross also hired a law firm to represent the issue.

This is a simplified version of simplified version.

What's the situation with donating in your area? :)

I was only offering what I knew to be true for my area locally, I didn't want to speak on things I hadn't researched. Looking it up, I guess it seems like it's possible (with varying degrees of waiting period), in a pretty significant chunk of the world, so that's even better than I thought, if still not ideal. ^^

History tells us that 85% of these people will move to Windows 11 despite what they say.

The interesting rub this time is the hardware. There's tons of still powerful and useful CPU's in use today that don't support Windows 11's TPM 2.0, so I wonder if that will push a few more people to Linux than when Windows 7 was EOL.

Everyone loves to masterbate to how “bad these companies are”, dude you CHOSE them.

I think the point of the video is that there are backroom deals that secure Microsoft being chosen. The new mayor of Munich is a clear example of conflict of interest. Microsoft is clearly lobbying the French government as well.

The OG comment is referencing the body of this post, which are stats from the website. The website is using outdated steam stats, the comment is pointing that out.

The comment you replied to that was pointing that out was not corrolating the steam stats as general linux stats, only pointing out that the linux userbase on steam has grown since those outdated stats.

Thief vs. AAA Gaming (www.youtube.com)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I thought this was a really intriguing video essay on how the old Thief games from decades ago stack up against more modern (at the time, anyway, the video is nearly 10 years old itself!) AAA Games.
