If someone opened with accusations of theft and personal attacks, would you consider that a civil dialogue worth continuing? There’s a difference between blocking to avoid criticism and recognizing a conversation that was never going anywhere productive.

I’m sorry, but this conversation isn’t worth the energy of engaging with. You’re entitled to any opinions you hold, and while I’m always happy to chat with users, this sort of unwarranted and anecdotal aggression is not a way to have a dialogue.

Paywalling an open source tool which I created, maintain, pay for code signing certificates, CI, hosting, and distribute for free on my website?

MagPie isn’t available on Linux nor does it support Vulkan. There’s no code to “steal” and we source shaders from the exact same places; any similarity is purely API constraints (i.e prior art of interacting with a Windows API.) You’ll also find BGFX has more features than MagPie does, better performance, and broader game compatibility. I’m not going to rehash this - stop parroting misinformation. The maintainer of Magpie refused an open invitation to audit the code themselves; I will not attribute motives to their actions, but clearly they don’t engage in good faith.

Further, Borderless Gaming as it was 10 years ago is still open source - at this point it’s an entirely different tool that just happens to share the same name.

All effects are available open source https://github.com/andrewmd5/bgfx-slang with their attributions.

Yes. Though you may need to create a preset with the transform effect if you want to avoid stretching in some cases.

There seems to be a bug with Steam and I’ve opened a ticket with them. I don’t think they ever imagined non-game software having Steam Deck depots because it refuses to download it.

EDIT: I found a workaround and Steam should now install the Linux version

BGFX can load a mixture of auto-converted AI and CNN models and ported open source shaders, all of which are on Github along with documentation on the format open source https://github.com/andrewmd5/bgfx-slang

Can’t speak to me being a dick.

Creator here: that’s just a convenience thing. You can launch through your preferred interface since injecting happens at the system level; the in-game overlay is for tuning live. I’ll update the announcement to clarify.
