Re: FSDG issues of SCUMMVM-based games

I thought I remembered that "Beneath a Steel Sky" was released by its authors under GPLv2 to some applause back in the day. I remember that's why I installed and played it... It's mentioned here at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky#Freeware_release_and_Remastered_edition

Re: Guix Days and Fosdem 2024

Very excited for FOSDEM / Guix Days 2024! Definitely think there's been plenty happening in Spritely-land that we'll have some things we want to get in front of people, and conversations about how we can best work with the greater Guile/Guix ecosystem. - Christine

Re: I just got my pinephone.

I think the easiest step to first testing would be to install Guix (userspace package manager) from Debian on Mobian. I've been meaning to do that, haven't tried yet... from there we can look at what's necessary to go full distro Kaelyn writes: > Hi Guix! > > I just received my pinephone t

Re: Excessively energy-consuming software considered malware?

I am all for these conversations; they are good to have as a society, to examine our social foundations in earnest dialogue. But I think they've approached a point on here where they're no longer about Guix development, in particular, so probably should be moved off-list. Martin Becze writes: >

Taylan, I respect you and your work. I don't think you realize how much hurt you've caused here, and I want to take your contributions at good faith. But this has continued for days and it has definitely hurt a lot. I just got out of a presentation that I've been in crunchmode preparing for all

Okay. Now a longer reply. I am taking a substantial portion of my day to do this. I think there is a lot more going on here than even appears at the surface. So I have re-read everything that has been said so far and am doing my best to take care in what I write here. I hope it's of some great

Taylan, You asked me to take the time to explain the hurt you caused, and I did. I spent a whole day on it. It was not easy. In response you provided a long justification backing up the very thing you were asked not to do, the very thing identified as causing this much hurt. But you've made it,

This is good news, to myself and I am sure many others who are either using or hopeful for the future of the Reform. I am really happy to see not only the progress but that there may be a way to have the majority of work in Guix itself (even if there's the "cheat" in there to make things functiona
