If you know the “dd” command, you are already engaging in non-trivial stuff… It is just “point & click” using daemon tools, and you just need an image of the CD, which is not inherently “cracked” ; the crack is needed to bypass security (or you get a developper cd registration number, which is how it was done for old games like diablo or starcraft). Anyway, cracks for software that is not anymore published or maintained do not constitute an economic loss to said publisher, so of course it is a solution. You just risk yourself (your computer) by using modified software for which nobody else is held accountable for.

For the required cd drive : normally you use a virtual one (like daemon tools) . For the computer it makes no difference

Didier Super !

Is she not growing older ? It looks like she took the pictures on the same day 😅 nice to see the boy grow up

Stalin sort

Maybe it was just role playing games !

Because they hate GNU and free software. They is european lobbyist companies

Ah ha ! Well it was a stupid joke then 😅 my first grievance is still about not packaging GNU software though (exim, mailutils, just on top of my head but etc.)

Devuan now

I had a very good ride with Void for 3 years, a polished distro which taught me to play with init.

But a lot of GNU packages are not packaged, and lastly I saw a news regarding the distro being split between pro and free version so …

I used Antix after that, but AntiX can really get behind on package and kernel version, so I stumbled back on Devuan, and voilà ! With backport, Devuan is really like Debian without the hassle of never knowing if your system us really shut down when you close your laptop (systemd ! 🫵)

GNU is for computer users freedom, which is the closest you can find regarding a software license that is “for human rights”, because it gives you a way to avoid corporate/government mingling with your computer by forking a version without malware. It does not provide instant programming skills to realize it so you depend on fellow coders to do the change, but it is the same as the fact that you need to hire lawyers to defend your rights efficiently.

You are FOSS friendly ! Great list 😄

The pseudo is wow

It is just that simple.

Because they are racist. They only identify you based on your difference, not on shared values.

The answer is Python

An enticing idea !

I agree with the other comment about the lack of nerds in volume to sustain this activity by itself. However, if you base the business on another activity (lasertag, bar, escape game) with the same ambiance, you can “privatize” the space a few times a month to have a few bunch of geeks that will spend the 50$ to have a space with visuals and a good soundsystem for the night.

Be sure to write down a business plan which has 80% of revenue based on “mainstream” activities (yes, axe throwing is now more mainstream than rpg …)

GNU Guile is a dialect of Lisp used by quite a few software.

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

It is the configuration language of the Guix OS, a modern distro (very focused on computer freedom) , also by libraries and software like Gnucash, the GNU Debugger, a GUI toolkit for Gnome also, etc.

It is not a replacement of C, but can be used like Python.

I plan to export all the company documentation to markdown for git/bazaar based version control ! It is just so exciting 🥳😁

Streaming service is good for me because I access a much wider spectrum of music that I could possibly buy one by one.

It may be unfair or badly managed fpr artists remuneration, but usually they are paid on gigs not on royalties.
