Captain Beef?

[Neelix]

You've been watching too much vampire diaries... I know I have!!!

Actually no. The most I've ever seen of Vampire Diaries is the occasional ad for it - and most of those I would have seen at 2x or 6x speed.

However most of his ports should be in the debian repository anyway.

I've seen this line mentioned here a bunch, but I think there's something to be said about ports that are tailored to the hardware they run on, with a thoughtful interface that works well on a handheld with a small screen that's used on the go. You can't apt-get that from the Debian repos. I wouldn't use my Pandora much if it weren't for all the optimised and well-designed PNDs that people took the time to make.

There's truth to that but I'd much rather an optimised port from someone I trust. From the very start StreaK communicated quite clearly that everything he contributed was for the sake of his own self interest, not for the sake of the community. Put simply I don't trust any of his releases enough to be willing to run them.

I'm still wary of anything that he has had anything to do with.

True enough the version of DOSBOX on the Debian jessie armhf repo wih the OMAP5 Devboard was slower than the Pandora version we have now. A properly compiled DOSBOX had impressive performance...  However I can see most non-game applications will most likely be fine, the 720p resolution solves a bit of things as devs won't have to modify the gui to have it fit to the screen in most cases.

...and added some secret sendback of userdata to his own server, from time to time.

With the Pyra I can. With the Pyra you won't need this so hard as for the pandora or just need to build with some more compilter options.

It doesnt matter. Captain BeeF, StreaKy BeeF, Commander Beef . They're all fine for me :]. gheghe

 

[Holliefant]

Hey Beefy is back

 

[___]

I would really love to hear, what kind of data is supposedly transmitted by StreaK's pnds. I like his dosbox version and I am glad he's still around. and since when is making money by coding stuff immoral?

 

[bagmouse7]

I am very glad to see you back and I hope you stay and do some porting to the pyra.
Your programs added greatly to my library on the pandora. I am also a big atari fan and appreciate your efforts there as well.
Welcome back!

 

[b_o_b]

Nothing wrong with that, but he made money from a GPL'ed product without sharing (some of) the profit with the dosbox team or releasing the source after a while. Maybe not immoral, but not the most ethical thing to do. Same applies to sending data without consent from the users..

 

[EvilDragon]

AFAIK, he didn't change the DOSBox Code but created a launcher for it.
It's perfectly fine if he wants to keep that closed.

 

[b_o_b]

Sure, no problem with that but I do not think you should ask money for an enhancement of a GPL program that you got for free. Allowed - but I don't think it is the most ethical thing to do.

Yeah, donations should suffice and wouldn't have created a Pandora program with DRM while everything for it should be DRM free.
I have a bigger problem with the collected and sent data without consent though.

 

[b_o_b]

I have a bigger problem with the collected and sent data without consent though.

I agree, and that could be called immoral (depending on what data he gathered)
