Its a server configuration issue. If you have a SPA even server side frameworks that uses native paths you need to configure the server to send all requests to the main application. You’ll find documentation of how to do this in the setup for every framework I’ve run into.
really don’t care enough who you claim to be. You asserted pretty matter of fact who I was starting this discussion but ok.
if a group of people are using the tools that he created in a way that he doesn’t like or want, is he not entitled to make a change to stop that from happening?
In short no. At least not if you’re software is GPL, then you don’t have any say in how its used. Its the bargain we make when we choose an open license as it specifically grants the right to use software freely. So up to last year, he has no say in how its used. And honestly, If download and compile the CC version today he doesn’t get any say either. For the most part even proprietary software like Windows don’t get a lot of say in how things are used either if you pay for it.
at that point the whole community could fork the repo and do their own thing. but no, entitled shitlord users want to post ragebait shitposts and call the dude an asshole for putting his foot down and drawing a line
There are forks of the GPL code. They’re in the fork tab in github. Also a trip to google finds this version https://github.com/libretro/swanstation which appears to have been forked for 4 years now. There are also other PS emulators that seem more popular in things like retropie where it would be more widely distributed so not sure how much interest there actually is.
because he’s had enough of entitled shitlord package managers. Genuine question, what did the package managers do that’s so “shitlord”? I can guess about bug reports or complaints about licensing(guess because issues are closed) but really don’t know what he’s mad about the packaging thing. There are some community aur’s but they seem fine.
So none of the aurs distribute anything built on arch infrastructure, its all unmodified versions exactly like his license and readme specify.
the guy didn’t do anything wrong, because as the maintainer he has the sole responsibility and vision of where he wants to take his project
Sure, he can do what ever he wants I guess. Accept what ever PR, commit what ever code. He can even delete everything tomorrow(I believe he’s done it before?) because he thinks neclimdul specifically is a jerk and was mean to him on lemmy and no other reason. That doesn’t make his decision good or reasonable or right. I mean you don’t seem to like me but I hope you get my point.
But just to really be clear why I think this was a jerk move, https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/blob/master/CMakeModules/DuckStationBuildSummary.cmake#L38
This doesn’t block packaging, it blocks compiling on any arch system. Its a poison pill because he didn’t like some people using a specific distro and doesn’t really affect me but strikes me as pretty petty.
You got me, I’m impersonating some other neclimdul guy that’s easily Googleable and matches the description I gave. I registered this account two years ago and participated in discussions all this time so I could trick you specifically Hawkeye. You really did call me out. Good one.
Petty is pretty harsh and reading this message I wish I’d paused and chosen a better word.
That said, the way the commit reads, the relicensing, the fact they seem to be upset the aur is locked to the GPL version to comply with the license but also poisoning the build scripts like it’s somehow going to affect the old GPL code. It just does not sound like someone acting in good faith with the open source community they’re clearly building on top of and that does rub me the wrong way.
Hi, I’m a subsystem maintainer for the Drupal project, a security team member, and over the years have helped maintain several of the largest projects in the ecosystem. I’ve also contributed to a number of open source projects over the years and have a lot of experience collaborating with maintainers to get fixes committed going back to early amd64 fixes coming out of testing in the gentoo project before Intel even had a real 64bit platform. I’ve got a pretty good feel for how this works and it’s safe to say FLOSS is kinda my day job.
Imagine if Linux developers building the libraries this was built on where as petty.

Let me guess, he pinky promised Murkowski he would behave.
As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.
Oh reading the article it means non-US sovereignty. Pretty sure anybody in IT at this point should know the US privacy laws are non-existent and US companies are in this position and have been for decades.
I’ve always felt like on paper hg is better than git but in practice it doesn’t feel like it to me. Kinda like arguing beta is better then vhs, etc. Also kinda wanted darcs to succeed and while it seems to still be developed it’s so niche as to not exist.
But the great thing is they do exist as alternatives.
