That's not unlike youtube really

So the most accurate and helpful descriptor would be "mario-like 2d platformer," but then you might have no reason to click on the link if you're a weirdo who thinks "Oh, that might mean a game like Mario Party!" ;)

Completing the ethnic cleansing of the region is a long-standing goal and it isn't yet complete.

I was let go somewhat recently and I noticed just yesterday that I still have admin access to their facebook app.

Anyone else get free Ubuntu CDs shipped to their house? I think I had 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) shipped to my house back in 2007.

Otherwise, Mandrake Linux was my first "good" distro. I first tried one called Lycoris which claimed to be an beginner's distro with it's own DE, and it was impressive how well it handled setting up a dual boot installation and at the time it was a revelation that I could use a computer without Windows. I didn't begin preferring linux until I tried Mandrake with KDE 3, though.

It's not as if they are holding themselves up as supporting Free Software philosophies (as opposed to Open Source), so where's the pretense?

If somehow it ever makes strategic sense for them to stop making use of the open source model, yeah, they'll stop. That doesn't mean they were pretending.

Yeah, I have the special edition that will include all of the DLC (It was a promotional gift from AMD) and you would have to pay me to play any of it.

More of this game is not something I'm interested in!

I don't think they're pretending. Open source software is a valuable resource for basically all major tech companies, and a lot of it is driven by major tech companies. Some kind of combination of open source and proprietary software will always be a thing for them. This isn't some major contradiction, they use either model based on the specific needs of the project.

This is why some think "Open Source" is too permissive since they see it as free/cheap labor to be exploited by huge corporations.

I'm not sure that I see it that way, but I can see their point.

I think it fits, because it looks like it would feel exactly like Super Mario World.

Almost 30 years and still basically useless.
