KISS launcher is FOSS and a bit different, but many ex. Nova users flocked to it after it was bought.

You forgot rust 🦀

This. I was going to buy one on kickstarter, but their reply on planned updates wasn’t reassuring.

Hey, don’t forget unciv :-) it may not look amazing but that game is a very fun 4x to play.

This is a very solid (if not the best) roguelike to play on phone.

Devin Townsend was without a doubt one of the best artists I’ve seen live last year. I limed his music for the longest time, and got tickets the day before the concert, and it was so damn good. It wasn’t anything fancy, just awesome interaction with the crowd and amazing music.

I saw them two years ago, and I was amazed by how radically the stage shifted between songs. The band members were struggling bouncing around though 😅

There are various obstacles to “just forking” a project; it requires times to understand the frameworks / libraries used in the project, understand the code and its different parts and last but not least, have a interest to invest that time and energy (most often, that time could be spent developing your own solution that would fit your usecase better).

As for the stage I was referring to, both the theories of enshittification and rot-economy see software and services going through stages to attract new users, before going in for the profit maximizing.

What’s wrong with Ubuntu and RH? Is it because of the snaps / source code debacle? Both of those had solid business cases to them and while I dislike the outcome, I do understand why they made that choice and most importantly - I still appriciate what each company does for FOSS.

My two examples are of OS SaaS that got their plug pulled before they got to that stage. See skiff.com and omnivore.

I know that you get this question a lot, but why would one use this over sterlingPDF?

Fully agree, but part of the problem is that the fundamentals that our technology relies on to communicate is arcane (DNS, IP, etc.). The other problem is that were often trying to translate human experiences and needs to a binary and technological format, which cannot be done in simple terms and creates complexity.

I don’t expect us being able to move away from current jank-stack technologies anytime soon.

I really like this explanation. Not many are aware of how telegram was designed to make it as cumbersome for authorities as possible by splitting their data across different nations.

I’d be more than happy to see all links pointing to xitter banned. FB/Meta would be nice too, but I think it’s more important to sending a clear signal on neo-nazi salutes being a red line.

Swede here who frequents Austria. I agree, and I love drinking the water while hiking in Austria.

If you visit Sweden, our water is mostly as good as the one in Austria. Some exceptions are Gotland because of high chalk (so? “Kalk”) levels.

One of the main points of the article is not how it affects one as a individual, but how impacts the very social fabric of our societies. Even if you’re spared from the effects of the rot economy, you’re surrounded by people who are, and it impact them psychologically which in turn affects their mood, well being and their behavior towards their peers.

While I don’t agree with everything in this article, it has some very important points. The digital services that we use can have an impact on our digital daily lives on par to a governments.

This isn’t a call for every person to save themselves. This is a call to save our peers and our well being on a macro level.

It’s a shell, like sh, bash and zsh, but very user friendly and has great defaults OOB.

Its not about contributing to the map data. There’s quite few quality issues with organic maps, from small things in the UI to how it calculates the navigation from A to B. I want to like organic maps, but its still far from usable for me. I do however regularly contribute to OSM - mainly thanks to streetcomplete.

I didn’t know about öffi, thought it would only cover Germany but it supports much more countries. Thanks for the tip!

I have a surface Go Gen1 and linux worked flawlessly on it. The bootup was tricky af though.

There is a tiny linux surface community that I created here on Lemmy, ask your questions there and I’ll be happy to help (while making the answers avaible to others In the same situation): https://lemmy.ml/c/surfacelinux
