10:09:27 <Alberth> o/ Wolf01
10:09:32 <Wolf01> hello :D
10:10:33 <Wolf01> finally I was able to change the steam client scrollbars width
10:10:58 <Terkhen> hi Wolf01
10:11:05 <Terkhen> linux or windows? :P
10:11:17 <Alberth> true
10:11:35 <Wolf01> windows
10:11:41 *** Supercheese has quit IRC
10:12:27 <Wolf01> I set the OS scrollbar size to 30px, but steam still had that 19px one, but moved 11px away from the border
10:12:45 <Alberth> lol
10:13:17 *** KouDy has quit IRC
10:13:34 *** andythenorth has quit IRC
10:14:06 <Eddi|zuHause> now someone solve my problem with logging in to steam... :/
10:14:43 *** KouDy has joined #openttd
10:15:00 <Eddi|zuHause> it works on windows in a vm, and in linux, but not in wine (anymore)... it's like it's opening a connection, but then not transferring anything
10:15:49 <Wolf01> I know wine has some problems with connections
10:16:05 <Terkhen> the last time I tried to use steam on wine I did not run into any problems; I was going to set it up later
10:16:13 <Wolf01> I have the same problem with a photo printing software on wine
10:18:43 <Eddi|zuHause> well, it worked before
10:18:53 <Eddi|zuHause> and i tried older versions of wine, and it didn't help
10:19:19 <Eddi|zuHause> so it seems to be something on my system that is screwed up
10:19:25 <Eddi|zuHause> but a clean prefix didn't help either
10:21:35 <Wolf01> mine too worked before, but now.. meh

10:56:45 <Terkhen> Eddi|zuHause: steam on wine does not even show strings for me, so I cannot check if I have the same problem or not
10:56:53 <Terkhen> I'll try to fix that later
10:56:59 <Eddi|zuHause> Terkhen: start with -no-dwrite
10:57:18 <Eddi|zuHause> Terkhen: or disable dwrite.dll
10:57:35 <Eddi|zuHause> it's a known problem :)
10:58:47 <Terkhen> oh, ok, thanks :)
10:59:54 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
11:00:31 <Terkhen> "Steam is having problems connecting to the Steam servers" <-- I got this message, but at the second attempt I managed to log in
11:00:35 <Terkhen> it seems to be working fine
11:00:55 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, nobody else seems to have the problem
11:01:09 <Eddi|zuHause> so nobody can help solve it :/
11:01:25 <Terkhen> :(
11:01:43 <Wolf01> did you try to install additional components such the vc runtimes with winetricks?
11:02:17 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, i have all those.
11:06:48 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: btw. the vehicle pool was increased from 64k to 1M
11:06:56 <Eddi|zuHause> ah
11:07:01 <Eddi|zuHause> but he said 1.1.1 :)
11:07:22 <frosch123> well, does not matter; i doubt he manages to compile

11:20:30 *** DDR has quit IRC
11:23:09 *** andythenorth has quit IRC
11:25:47 <TrueBrain> Terkhen: I even get that problem on Windows from time to time .. first time it cannot connect, next time it works just fine ... stupid Steam :(
11:26:32 <Terkhen> given that kind of errors, let's see if they manage to make it work on linux :P
11:26:50 <TrueBrain> define 'work' :D
11:27:02 <Terkhen> I got the beta a few days ago; yesterday I set everything up just to find that steam games do not like bumblebee
11:27:11 <Terkhen> "I can open a game and play"
11:29:23 <MNIM> hmmmh, speaking of steam
11:29:33 <MNIM> how's the announced port coming along?
11:30:13 <Terkhen> it runs fine on my integrated graphics card, but of course 3D intensive games are slow and barely playable
11:30:52 <Terkhen> when I try to run steam on the dedicated graphics card, it is not able to launch any game because it overwrites some system variable that bumblebee wants to use too
11:31:02 <Terkhen> so... no idea :P
11:40:31 <ntoskrnl> Terkhen: temporary files are almost always something to avoid. on the other hand, having a 1MB buffer in memory for the whole PNG may not be a good idea either. isn't stream based IO an option?

14:06:04 <drac_boy> hi
14:06:45 <Superuser> hey guys, why is OpenTTD not XDG-compliant? I don't like programs that spam .folders
14:06:56 <drac_boy> xdg?
14:07:18 <Superuser> http://freegamer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/game-developers-standardize-custom-user.html
14:13:34 <Terkhen> I never heard about that
14:13:50 <drac_boy> superuser I'll give the same answer I give to ms users: NO THANKS
14:14:00 <Terkhen> does that xdg thing have a website somewhere that explains what i tis?
14:14:03 <Terkhen> it is*
14:14:05 <drac_boy> it just causes too many problems for cloned apps with different settings
14:14:15 <drac_boy> but meh :)
14:14:18 <__ln___> http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html but...
14:14:38 <Superuser> why do you say that drac_boy
14:14:38 <__ln___> but uh oh, it lists Lennart Poettering as one of the authors.
14:14:53 <Superuser> and define 'cloned apps'
14:15:20 <ntoskrnl> derivative apps will have a different name and hence also a different config directory
14:15:25 <Superuser> why do people hate Poettering so much? He's the man that solved the UEFI problem (which was slightly overblown, but still important)
14:15:49 <Superuser> are there any *actual* forks of OpenTTD? Be realistic.
14:15:53 *** mahmoud has joined #openttd
14:16:54 <drac_boy> ntoskrnl not really...I have a few instances of Gnumeric but clicking each one shows you different presets nevertheless
14:17:05 <__ln___> Superuser: he's the reason that audio still isn't usable on Linux.
14:17:10 <drac_boy> and no its nothing to do with aliases/flags
14:17:21 <Superuser> ALSA you mean? Implementation's fault
14:17:38 <Terkhen> Superuser: feel free to create a flyspray task with this, but my opinion is that if something's not broken we should not change it
14:17:38 <Superuser> distros' fault
14:18:01 <drac_boy> heh terkhen thats rather true
14:18:02 <ntoskrnl> drac_boy: i can't see how this XDG changes anything, the settings are just stored in subfolders instead of directly in ~
14:18:09 <Superuser> It's fucking annoying that programs have since the days of UNIX spammed one's home folder with fuckloads of dot-folders
14:18:20 <Superuser> yeah
14:18:26 <Superuser> it makes things that much cleaner
14:18:28 <drac_boy> superuser so you never ever noticed that ms does it tons worser?
14:18:33 <Superuser> and more predictable
14:18:36 <drac_boy> and yet everyone expect thats the normal
14:18:46 <Superuser> not really, it makes it more predictable
14:18:54 <drac_boy> nope
14:18:57 <Superuser> when I installed hexchat I went to .config and voila it was there
14:19:01 <Superuser> not an ugly xchat2 folder
14:19:07 <__ln___> Superuser: *voilà
14:19:32 <Superuser> it makes things more predictable. MS does this in a shit way with Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data
14:19:36 <Superuser> and it's generally confusing
14:19:43 <Terkhen> hmmm...
14:19:58 <Superuser> Most games have reached the unofficial standard of saving to My Documents\My Games though, but I don't think that's official
14:20:01 <__ln___> Superuser: start boycotting applications that don't conform to XDG.
14:20:02 <Superuser> loads of games do it tho
14:20:07 <Terkhen> now that I think of it, IIRC the place where OpenTTD places its configuration can be changed via compilation options
14:20:40 <Terkhen> so you may want to ask the person who packages openttd for your distribution
14:21:02 <Superuser> I got it from the website...
14:21:02 <ntoskrnl> %appdata% is not the user's home folder... it's not the default directory for a shell and users don't see it all the time
14:21:05 <Superuser> a .deb
14:23:01 <Terkhen> if that's the case, feel free to create a flyspray task; I don't know much about how this change would affect distribution packaging, you may get more informed opinions about the feasability of the change there
14:23:16 <Superuser> bug.openttd.org right?
14:23:45 <Terkhen> bugs.
14:24:06 <Superuser> I predict a WONTFIX label, but I'll go ahead anyway, thanks
14:25:42 <Terkhen> in my opinion it's not a bug :P
14:26:05 <ntoskrnl> yeah, it's just that openttd hasn't yet caught up with a new standard
14:27:12 <drac_boy> and its still messing up with some older ones too..I still can't even run more than one ottd folder on ms ... why? -_-
14:31:01 <Superuser> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5385 dum de dum
14:32:20 *** teggi has joined #openttd
14:36:13 <frosch123> he, we rejected that years ago :p
14:36:42 <Rubidium> oh... may I write a nice thing about that? ;)
14:36:42 <frosch123> ottd folder is a mixture of recoverable and personal data
14:38:23 <frosch123> as far as i got back then, xdg is for small applications with a single file, or maybe two
14:38:30 <frosch123> ottd has several thousand
14:38:38 <frosch123> at least my ottd install :p
14:39:48 <Terkhen> oh, I assumed that it would be a relatively recent standard :P
14:41:23 <frosch123> well, meanwhile i even have that folder :p
14:41:40 <frosch123> last time it was suggested i did not have it, since no application used it
14:42:00 <frosch123> now there are all the standard desktop things
14:43:00 <Superuser> most proprietary developers don't support it but they don't give a fuck about standards anyway and just place shit in /opt
14:43:50 <ntoskrnl> adobe media server dumps everything in /opt... libraries, configuration, everything
14:44:08 <ntoskrnl> comes with its own openssl and zlib
14:44:10 <Superuser> also, XDG is a desktop standard, so things like .subversion and .gem (Ruby) are still in separate dot-folders
14:44:19 <Superuser> dear oh dear
14:44:19 <__ln___> isn't /opt the correct place for shit then?
14:44:25 <Superuser> well said :)
14:44:30 <Superuser> fuck adobe
14:45:56 <__ln___> ntoskrnl: openssl has a constantly changing ABI, so you can't rely on finding a compatible version on a particular system.
14:46:26 <ntoskrnl> fair enough i guess
14:46:40 <Superuser> still pissed off that kernel developers shat on FatELF
14:46:58 <TinoDidriksen> They could have gone the nVidia route and made a shim to the OS versions.
14:47:05 <Superuser> it would have finally given developers used to Windows' and Mac OS's standardisation that confidence
14:47:32 <__ln___> Superuser: btw, FatELF is currently being considered for Haiku.
14:47:35 <Superuser> but it would help proprietary developers too much. BULLSHIT. Distro release cycles are the cancer killing the Linux desktop
14:48:01 <ntoskrnl> just use freebsd =P
14:48:45 <Superuser> ehh it's being increasingly locked out
14:49:01 <Superuser> companies like RedHat support Linux-specific projects like systemd and wayland
14:49:04 <Terkhen> what's wrong with release cycles?
14:49:05 *** RavingManiac has quit IRC
14:49:47 <Superuser> Terkhen: consider Ubuntu's 6 month release cycle. It doesn't even let game developers make major updates to their games. I understand if your Apache depended on it, but a game? C'mon.
14:49:50 <frosch123> Terkhen: the compromise between features of today, and stability of in 3 years :p
14:50:17 <Terkhen> switch to a distribution which suits your tastes :P
14:50:29 <Superuser> It assumes all software follows the release cycle of the Linux kernel, for which individual versions are maintained for years on end. That's just false
14:51:19 <Superuser> You're not being realistic Terkhen. Almost all OpenTTD Linux players are on a Debian-based distro, none of which are particularly bleeding-edge.
14:51:39 <Terkhen> I did not say that the distribution which suits your tastes exists
14:51:41 <Superuser> most of them probably get an outdated version from their package manager and play that. They may be disillusioned by it
14:51:56 <Rubidium> how new is that xdg spec actually?
14:52:16 <Terkhen> there is nothing inherently wrong in debian release cycle, it may be good for some users but bad for others
14:52:53 *** Zeknurn has quit IRC
14:53:03 <Superuser> It gives you ancient software. It makes sense for something like a programming language, but not for games. No games follow that release cycle and the latest release version tends to be the greatest
14:53:11 <Terkhen> I do agree that a distribution with a different take on release cycles would be welcome, but I don't think that existing distributions should change their release cycles
14:53:16 <Superuser> very few OSS games offer binaries for Linux, they force users to compile the source
14:53:16 <Terkhen> they have their own philosophies to follow
14:53:38 *** Zeknurn has joined #openttd
14:54:08 <Superuser> Nah they should, they are QAing everything and it ain't the right approach. People expect to have the software version talked about on a program's website.
14:54:18 <frosch123> Rubidium: squeeze knows about it, lenny doesn't
14:54:44 <Superuser> In practice, most Ubuntu users for instance (relatively nontechnical) don't understand PPAs and are afraid of the command line
14:54:44 <Terkhen> I'm quite sure that debian stable users expect it to be stable :P
14:55:34 <Superuser> lol yeah, but Debian-stable users tend to be either OSS fanatics or system administrators. Who get shit graphical drivers that can hardly play a game.
14:56:05 <TinoDidriksen> Well then, get OTTD on Steam for Linux!
14:56:08 <Terkhen> why should you force them to change their release schedule then?
14:56:23 <Terkhen> the distribution is not aimed for people with the problems you mention
14:56:23 <Superuser> Because they're killing off potential market share.
14:56:33 *** ntoskrnl has quit IRC
14:56:45 <Terkhen> ubuntu may think that it is aimed for the problems you mention, but it is not
14:56:53 <Superuser> My dad always downloads the latest version of OpenOffice on his Windows PC (I moved him to LibreOffice btw)
14:57:23 <Superuser> a lot of people are obsessed with having the latest software. That's why programs on Windows like the filehippo update checker are so popular
14:57:26 <Terkhen> what I'm trying to say is: debian is not wrong, because it does what it is meant to do for its users
14:57:35 <Terkhen> if you want bleeding edge, move to another distribution
14:57:47 <Terkhen> if you want a stable core and bleeding edge on the rest, you may need a new distribution
14:57:52 <Superuser> yes, but debian doesn't go full desktop, it acts as a jack of all trades, but it knows well it's mainly a server distro
14:57:56 <frosch123> [15:56] <Superuser> Because they're killing off potential market share. <- haha, did you ever consider that someone might not be heading for market share?
14:58:08 <Terkhen> but that does not mean that existing distributions are wrong, they do what they are meant to do
14:58:16 <Terkhen> they are just not for everyone
14:58:25 <Terkhen> that's the whole point of having distributions, freedom of choice :P
14:58:31 <Superuser> Indeed, but you're consistently looking at niche distributions
14:58:56 <Superuser> Ubuntu and Linux Mint should definitely try to offer the latest. Mint DOES do this if you file a bug, but someone has to step up and do that.
14:59:01 <Superuser> I don't know about Ubuntu
14:59:40 <Superuser> distros for the mainstream desktop user should definitely follow that approach. If I'm not mistaken, Ubuntu 12.04 still packages 1.15 ;)
15:02:06 <Terkhen> I tried Mint and removed it... why do they have to change my chromium preferences to point to their website? I thought that was limited to windows malware
15:03:43 <Superuser> hehe
15:03:55 <Superuser> I'm glad that DDG is sponsoring them tho :)
15:04:01 <Rubidium> there is only ONE "distribution" that reliably allows you to get the latest version of anything without walking ways that are not the default way for the distribution
15:04:39 <Terkhen> which is? :P
15:04:42 <Rubidium> it also allows you to have perfectly optimised binaries and libraries specific to your hardware and needs; no need for lots of bloat
15:04:49 <Rubidium> Terkhen: obviously LFS
15:04:59 <Terkhen> heh :D
15:05:59 <Superuser> keke
15:06:05 *** KritiK has joined #openttd
15:06:29 <drac_boy> not really ;)
15:06:46 <Terkhen> for now I'm happy with arch, until one of these days I update and I'm greeted by a black screen
15:07:06 <Terkhen> but after trying other distributions I went back to it :P
15:12:23 <Superuser> Rubidium: http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5385
15:12:44 *** Progman has quit IRC
15:14:02 <TinoDidriksen> I just don't see the problem. They start with a . for a reason.
15:24:35 *** valhallasw has quit IRC
15:32:03 *** roadt_ has quit IRC
15:44:25 <Superuser> TinoDidriksen: I have to scroll through literally dozens of these dot-folders. Dozens. Any full-time Linux user has to do this.
15:44:59 <TinoDidriksen> Scroll through when? Only when I do ls -a or turn on displaying hidden files/folders.
15:45:06 <Superuser> The worst part is that package managers by default leave all the dot-shit behind and you have to clean it up. Which I can't be arsed to do with the volume of stuff I install
15:45:12 <Superuser> same
15:45:19 <Superuser> it's a lot of folders man
15:50:02 <Pinkbeast> Why clean it up? It doesn't show up without ls -a and it's tiny.
16:07:26 <drac_boy> pinkbeast I agree...I only see like 6 folders all the times
16:07:32 <drac_boy> six is NOTHING :)
16:08:25 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
16:09:13 <NGC3982> Evening.
16:14:23 <Pinkbeast> Well, I've got a bunch of junk in my home directory, but using a tool that's buggy inasmuch as it shows dotfiles by default and then complaining you can see dotfiles is just making a rod for your own back. :-)
16:18:49 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
16:20:42 <Rubidium> Superuser: I never scroll through dozens of . folders
16:21:55 <Rubidium> what will be annoying is that for the config file I would have to be in .config/openttd/openttd.cfg which is at least 4 keystrokes more than I need now
16:22:53 <Rubidium> also moving files around is a nuisance, especially if you run nightlies *and* stable releases (which isn't uncommon at all)
16:24:34 <Rubidium> furthermore the "where is the config file" is going to be horribly more complicated
16:24:52 <Rubidium> it's not simple $XDF_CONFIG_HOME/openttd nor ~/.config/openttd
16:26:22 <Rubidium> and last, but definitely not least: it breaks portable installations!
16:28:42 <Rubidium> also, how good can a specification be if it doesn't even mention a date of introduction?
16:29:46 <Rubidium> not to mention that *properly* supporting that specification means searching an arbitrary amount of folders for the configuration file
16:30:08 <Rubidium> which will be a lot of fun to debug... NOT
16:31:13 <Superuser> At least you could use SOME parts of the spec
16:31:14 <Rubidium> also, the specifications fail on Windows
16:31:17 <Superuser> like XDG_PICTURES_DIR for Pictures
16:31:34 <Superuser> true, but you use different environment variables on Windows anyway.
16:31:38 <Rubidium> well, I'd go for XDF_OPENTTD_DIR for OpenTTD stuff
16:31:45 <Rubidium> that nicely redirects to ~ ;)
16:31:56 <Rubidium> Superuser: why?
16:32:18 <Superuser> because it is guaranteed to work with every linux distribution
16:32:26 <Superuser> and it is always in the same place
16:32:39 <Superuser> unless the distro changed it ofc
16:32:44 <Rubidium> I doubt that guarantee is made
16:33:08 <Rubidium> and if you implement a specification, you must implement it correctly, not half arsed
16:33:19 <Superuser> Doubt again
16:33:28 <Rubidium> also...
16:33:32 <Rubidium> what does PICTURES mean?
16:33:35 <Rubidium> any .png file?
16:34:03 <Rubidium> by the way, it's not in the specifications
16:34:25 <Superuser> yeah that's the basedir spec
16:34:32 <Superuser> there are other specs that cover this
16:34:49 <Rubidium> so heightmaps belong in PICTURES
16:35:38 <Superuser> Example https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg_user_directories
16:35:51 <Superuser> no, pictures is where you save screenshots
16:35:51 <Rubidium> really, if someone expects this to be implemented/adopted, they should write a simple library for that
16:36:04 <Superuser> you just use environment variables, much easier than a library...
16:36:05 <Rubidium> says who? what specification?
16:36:28 <Superuser> ?
16:36:28 <Rubidium> Superuser: yes... much easier... right
16:37:01 <Superuser> so I guess you won't do this.
16:37:02 <Rubidium> I'd want a get_xdg_config_path("openttd/openttd.cfg") that does all tricky stuff for me
16:37:18 <Rubidium> as currently I would have to:
16:37:30 <Rubidium> a) read an environment variable
16:37:42 <Rubidium> b) if that variable exist, make sure it is a proper absolute path
16:38:21 <Superuser> b is false, they all have defaults
16:38:31 <Superuser> so you can just leave it null
16:38:32 <Rubidium> c) if it doesn't exist, read the HOME environment variable, if that doesn't exist use getpwuid(getuid)->pwdir or fail
16:39:11 <Rubidium> d) if the file is not there, I would have to read another environment variable, split that on colons and test all those folders as well
16:39:31 <Superuser> standardisation hurts.
16:39:37 <Rubidium> which is loads and loads of stupid work that each and every person implementing this needs to do
16:40:08 <Rubidium> so... it NEEDS a simple library that handles all the crap and corner cases
16:40:31 <Superuser> how many lines would you actually have to change? There are like 30 config files with a clean install
16:40:32 <Rubidium> prefereably one that allows inserting custom search folders as well
16:41:11 *** Pensacola has quit IRC
16:41:33 <Rubidium> it's not changing, it's adding
16:42:08 <Rubidium> and splitting the single set of paths three or four times
16:42:29 <Rubidium> and basically breaking portable installs of OpenTTD
16:42:34 <Rubidium> not to mention the current ones
16:42:44 <Rubidium> unless we keep the $HOME fallback
16:43:03 <Superuser> which breaks portable installs too.
16:43:10 <Rubidium> and just keep everything and dump all the 'new' crap into the .config directory
16:44:03 <Rubidium> Superuser: no, one could add a single!!! location for all files of OpenTTD to the search path without breaking stuff
16:44:59 <Rubidium> this would imply that it would not migrate to the xdg crap immediately though; only when the user does it manually or when (s)he trashes the ~/.openttd folder
16:45:17 <Rubidium> otherwise it will still keep using the .openttd folder (if the config file is already there)
16:45:26 <Rubidium> for new installs it would use the .config directory
16:45:38 <Rubidium> ... but we would be equally violating the specifications
16:46:06 <Superuser> wouldn't providing a bash script with a nice little mv -f do the trick?
16:46:19 <Rubidium> for who?
16:46:30 <Rubidium> not for $noob
16:46:31 <Superuser> everyone upgrading to openttd 1.3
16:46:39 <Rubidium> not for $dev
16:46:50 <Superuser> for $inbetween?
16:46:52 <Rubidium> not for $advanced_user_using_multiple_versions
16:47:01 <Alberth> for all windows users, of course
16:47:04 <Superuser> do people actually do that?
16:47:10 * Alberth raises hand
16:47:13 <Rubidium> Superuser: use multiple versions?
16:47:20 <Superuser> yes
16:47:55 <Terkhen> devs do it all the time, as does everyone who wants to play online in stable servers and single player with nightlies
16:47:56 <Rubidium> nah, roughly all translators and 'geeks' that want to have the newest version and play multiplayer at a time
16:48:01 <Superuser> I wonder why, lol, I think there are some NewGRF incompatibilities between >=1.2 and <1.2
16:48:45 <Terkhen> allowing NewGRF incompatibilities belongs to NewGRF utopia :P
16:49:33 <Pinkbeast> Anyone trying to decide which patchpack they like (raising my own hand)
16:49:59 <Rubidium> Superuser: who said 1.1.x and 1.2.x together?
16:50:13 <Rubidium> I'm talking about nightlies, patchpacks and the likes
16:50:46 <Superuser> ah I see
16:50:59 <Superuser> ok then, no xdg compliance
16:51:02 <Superuser> meh
16:51:19 <Superuser> still, you're doing it wrong, as 4chan would say
16:54:07 <frosch123> you should stop reading 4chan, and read xkcd instead
16:54:10 <Rubidium> no, we're not doing it wrong
16:54:26 <Rubidium> doing something wrong implies doing something
16:54:42 <Superuser> yes, you are actively opposing the standard
16:54:45 <Superuser> doing
16:55:03 <Rubidium> and I would actually reckon that most custom implementations of said specifications have not implemented it correctly
16:55:12 <Superuser> FUD
16:55:27 <Rubidium> oh... a specification of less than a year old is now already a standard?
16:55:35 <Rubidium> by whom's authority?
16:56:13 <Rubidium> as I see it... by gnome
16:56:25 <Terkhen> urgh :P
16:57:05 <Superuser> except that KDE, LXDE and Xfce are also fully compliant :P
16:57:13 <Superuser> and a bunch of software.
16:59:06 <Rubidium> I'm not opposed to the standard, I'm opposed to manually implementing the standard to get the right path
16:59:16 <Rubidium> as I said, it involves quite a bit of complexity
17:01:34 <Rubidium> and for what it's worth, we comply with the unix file system "standard"
17:04:51 *** snorre has joined #openttd
17:08:00 <Rubidium> also, we comply with the FHS (file hierarchy standard) and LSB (Linux standard base)
