dgVoodoo2 has worked fine for me for years for DX7 and earlier on wine. lutris already supports it natively.

Or if a VM is needed, qemu+softgpu has been much faster for me than pcem/86box.

I see nothing wrong with it personally /shrug

why now all of a sudden

It's not new though, it has been happening for years. Selection bias might be skewing your view.

I don't have a precise answer as I'm not from that team, but as a developer I think I have a decent idea as to why, and it's mostly political.

First, I don't think it's necessarily the ability to install Play Services that makes them think it's not FOSS, but that they distribute non-free firmware blobs which are necessary to make practically any modern phone function properly, that's just the unfortunate reality because "we live in a society" that enables it. By that logic, I think they believe the vast majority of running Linux kernels on the planet are not FOSS. GNU would rather have things that are not practical and don't exist today... their stance is not currently realistic in our capitalist society IMO. They hope for things to change, but hope doesn't make change.

I also think some people look down on the Play Services thing merely because they went out of their way to explicitly support it in the OS, and basically nothing else. They disagree ideologically with F-Droid and they don't offer any other app stores by default to my knowledge.

Please.

Please stop spreading FUD.

1. The encryption used by Signal would not be used if it could be easily broken. It's fully open source and is regularly audited. People would not recommend it if it were so broken like you say; this is just fearmongering.

2. lol, lmao even

Apparently you've never been in a locker room before.

any website

I'm sorry to say this is not possible with any app.

At least the bear won't nag me to death /s

I don't disagree, but in practice, in my experience they and other groups are not helpful when your license actually needs defending.

I have been with multiple different communities that had GPL and other licensed code stolen for profit in proprietary programs. In all instances, the FSF, SFC and EFF were all contacted and nobody cared.

These offending companies do what they do precisely because they know they can get away with it. And most FOSS developers I would argue do not have the resources or desire to go up against a big company taking or misusing their work.

Read-only github mirror with read/write on a personal forge seems like one possible approach to make it more accessible/friendly without giving up any control to MS.
