Wrong angle of attack. What about other companies that suffer from the payment processor? Not everyone can build their own.

We should not have to filter deceptive ads by a major company. It is attempted fraud.

Oh so have you read all of the law and regulations to see if you missed something you ought to know? It's all right there in Google!

This is less funny if you consider how much modern dogs suffer from being over bred

I've only seen a fraction. Did it end with a global environmental catastrophe? That was ignored because of profit?

Found it. It's in the cog menu, very top left

Almost nobody did anything in response to the recent censorship, especially not if it could hurt them politically or financially. But GOG did something. Stop complaining, you should congratulate and support them on taking the risk for a good fight. I wish it wasn't, but they currently are a one of very few rays of light.

You'll have to explain that. In my mind they have been a rather positive force all the time.

Is there a way to redeem in Galaxy? I did not see it

I want to take a screenshot. In Windows, that's a simple Graphics::CopyFromScreen call.

In Linux, I feel a little confused on how to do this. It seems there is a principal and stark distinction between X11 and Wayland, so I have to include both code paths. For either, it seems there is quite a lot of boilerplate code, often tagged as 'may break depending on your configuration, good luck'.

Effectively, what I found is recommended most often is to call ffmpeg to let it handle that. I'm sure that works, but I find it rather unpalatable.

I find this strange. Taking a screenshot is, in my mind at least, supposed to be a straightforward part of a standard library. Perhaps it is, and I just completely missed it? If not, is there a good library that works out-of-the-box on most variants of linux?


Update: Thank you all for the input. I eventually went with calling ImageMagick. It is fast, easy to use, well documented, and supports capturing arbitrary displays with little effort.

 

Same post was allowed when the phrasing "... let ffmpeg do the job" is changed to "let ffmpeg handle it". So the removal seems to be purely keyword-based, in a resoundingly stupid fashion.
