The full-time developers need to be paid but the ones that make their
money doing other work and do part-time development are another story.
That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers
got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux
A lot of my time has been spent teaching lately, but I would still love to
develop some new games. Most likely they will be for windows, but I will never
rule out mobile devices. I know there’s a huge market for mobile games.

Well get busy lol. Seriously it would be awesome if you developed again.

Just FYI, I did not send my monetary difficulties to start one of those pitty
parties. I did so to let those who always harp on “Just save money” realize
that their suggestion is not part of some of our “real worlds”. The response
of “Just save money”, in my opinion, is heartless, uncaring,
I agree with Charles.
Game development is both time-consuming and expensive. There is a lot
more that goes into it than people might think. People that develop
games are entitled to financial compensation if they decide to sell
their product.

Why does it matter what they do in the way of work? I would consider it
like having a second job that may or may not provide a large monetary gain.
If they create or modify games as a sideline, why should they not ge paid?
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!
Liam: I agree with you. Why shouldn't game developers be paid for their
work? What else they to with their time, or the income earned by doing what
they do with their time, is irrelevant.
Speaking of games, are you still developing them? I'm sure that we could
all use some fairly
The short answer is no. From what I have been told, they have not done anything this year to improve access. Supposedly there has been a redesign on some audio, but I don’t think that will translate into anything usable for us. So much for this being a short answer.On Apr 3, 2023, at 11:18 AM,
Whether a developer is full time or not is relevant Everyone should be
compensated for their time if they so choose.

I agree as well. It is time consuming. People need to realize that.

Many end users pick the wrong distribution for themselves and run into a
bad learning curve then give up.
Those of us who have been using Linux for a while know not to ever
recommend Gentoo to new users. Other easier options exist. Linux is very
popular although not necessarily with the home
Yes but then why isn't linux more popular? It's got a lot of wonderful
qualities but it's not as intuitive or easy for a new end user to use.
There are developers for windows machines, smartphones and so on that do
have free games, even for amazon echo devices, google devices and so
on.

Agreed. I do a part time job and get paid for it. I also do volunteer
stuff. So I accept that some games might be ree and some will be paid.
People pay for card games, board games, etc. so why should we expect all
computer or phone games to be free?

It matters when a first job is used to support other work since that first
job may or eventually may not make it possible to support additional work.

Hi,I do fully agree that getting Linux experience is incredibly easy and there are multiple ways. Spinning up a digital ocean instance for a few cents to try command line or installing it on a virtual machine, or even running the live cd/USBG thumb drive. I will say I have run into other issues.
That's because you think the only screen reader in linux is orca. That's
wrong. Running on console, espeak, espeak-ng, brltty, emacspeak, sbl and
fenrir, yasr, are available. Before orca, other screen readers for the
gui existed but they're deprecated now. It could be in a little while
another
Slint is the international version of slackware and it updated this year
to version 15.0. Slint for screen reader users whether you use console or
gui is especially useful since the first question your sound card asks you
is if you want speech for the installation when slint boots. Slackware
Yes. It's just like an author or musician or other artist that puts
time and talent and work into their products and they deserve
compensation for it. as a musician I sometimes perform for free. other
times I am paid. When i am doing it as a profession, as part of making
my living, and when
I have heard similar things about orca. Are there other linux screen
readers? Seems like I heard something about them but not sure.

This is fantastic to hear, I had no idea these console based readers existed. I’ll have to give these a shot inn a vm at some point.Yes, I’m aware most of the grunt work in Linux is via command line. I’ve been very slowly learning to script so I can keep my fingers in tact I typically ssh into
Well I am aware of linux's roles in those areas but was speaking as an

lost touch) who did a lot with programming in linux environments and
with screen readers for it and all that but when I was referring to

Yeah, fair, but there's too many people that say they have no experience
with linux, then come up with some silly reason why this is so. Linux
is free, it runs on just about any pc or device you can think of, and
it's been around longer than windows 95. Anyone who actually wants to

Very interesting and thought provoking message. I have a friend who
used to be very involved with linux in the early days. He was also
