The lead developer Juan Linietsky pronounces it go-dot as well, though with the emphasis on the second syllable (arguably just a matter of accent). I also prefer that pronunciation. A lot of people pronounce it as if it’s French, since it happens to have a name that’s also known from a French play (see: the other replies).

I think it’s a GIF situation. Either way is broadly acceptable (though some people gatekeep on it; see above).

I’ve run Star Citizen on Linux a few times (not a regular player), there was a Lutris configuration that Just Worked™ for me. There’s also the Linux Users Group for SC, which maintains some scripts for working around issues if you want to do things manually. They’re the ones maintaining the Lutris configuration too.

I did run into the same issue with Shapez 2 recently, though! A quick stop in qpwgraph to connect it to the right audio output and everything else about it worked perfectly, but it’s not a permanent fix.

Also not a lawyer, but my understanding has always been that a license grants permissions, not limits them. No license means no permissions granted. Most sites have terms that you agree to (by posting to the site) that tell you what they may do with your content, and I don’t think a license you tack onto it can change that (though it can grant permission to others).

As for scrapers and such, they were never granted any permissions to use anything. They just don’t care. A license is also unlikely to change that.

I think licenses on posts are pointless and tacky, personally, but I could be missing something.
