  • require devs to develop a form of their game’s source that would be publicly releasable

    That's not a requirement or even expectation. The petition just requests that the game be reasonably playable after support ends, and only for people who bought it. That's it. That could mean:

    • release the server binaries so they can be self hosted
    • bake server logic into client and allow P2P play
    • for some games, merely remove the server requirement and allow single player

    Or whatever other option the studio prefers. The only expectation is that the game is still playable in some meaningful fashion after support ends. How they achieve that is up to them.

    For all of these options, they don't need to:

    • release source code
    • give up any IP rights
    • allow anyone who hasn't bought the game to play

    The petition is intentionally vague on solutions to give publishers and studios as much choice in how they comply as possible.

  • Sure, but those will usually be pieces of an app on the same host, not whole apps. Like for an inventory management app, you might have the auth server and its database on one host, the CRUD app and its database on another, and the report server, its database, and a replica of the CRUD db on another. And I use the term "host" broadly enough to include VMs on the same physical hardware. And these hosts will have restricted communication between each other.

    At least, that's how I've seen it done.

    Self-hosters will generally run multiple full apps on one host. It's a different setup.

  • There are three:

    • hyphen - separate parts of compound words
    • n-dash – used for ranges; often replaced by hyphens
    • m-dash — used as a replacement for parentheses or semicolons

    In flat text, use two hyphens for the m-dash and one for both hyphens and n-dash.

  • You shouldn't have any user home for your services, you shouldn't even allow them to login at all. They should only have group access to resources they need, and containers should restrict what directories they have access to.

  • Companies don't typically host multiple containers on the same host. So having a different user for them is less important than securing the connection between machines, since a given biat isn't particularly interesting. Attackers will still try to break out, so they have a backup.

    As a self-hoster, you typically do the opposite. You run multiple services on the same host, and the internal network isn't particularly secure. So you should be focusing more on mitigating issues, and having each service run as an unprivileged user is one fairly easy way to do that.

  • I got banned as well, and I'm still not sure why. I've never sold anything, and I've only bought a handful of things and sent money for rent a few times.

    I think someone hacked my account, because I hadn't used it for ~10 years before noticing that I was banned when I tried logging in again.

  • The equivalent for other media would be that if I buy a digital copy of a film or something, I should always be able to access it in the same resolution and whatnot that I purchased it. That's outside the scope of this campaign, but this campaign would certainly pave the way for it.

    1. openSUSE Tumbleweed
    2. 5+ years; Arch for 5+ before that
    3. A few times per year? Then again, I do check ProtonDB before all starting most games just in case (i.e. before buying or while installing).
    4. Nvidia was annoying a few times per year, but now I upgraded to an AMD card and no issues since.
  • I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don't use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere.

    So to me they're pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me.
