I basically only have games that cost less than $5 on a sale. The prices for new games are ridiculous generally. $100 for something that will take a year to get the bugs fixed? Only suckers buy new games.

It’s pretty shitty as far as manifestos go.

Next they’ll tie AOC to this because she played Among Us on Twitch once.

On Reddit I got banned from subs I’d never posted in for participating in other subs. The content of my posts didn’t even matter.

It’s definitely being logged by your Telco and phone manufacturer. Police can send them warrants to ask which phones were in X area around Y time frame and go from there.

I mean, if they can somehow come up with something better than activitypub, that would be great, from what I read it’s actually not that efficient. But yeah, decentralisation is not something you can just tack on, so I’m sceptical too, especially since they’re trying to raise VC money, which is not something you do when you want to build an open protocol.

It’s been clear from Gen X onwards that we’ll have a worse life than our parents, of course you’ll get anxious about it. You can probably plot this on the same chart that shows the rise of income inequality.

That’s somehow worse than Mastodon’s toots.

Bluesky is supposedly working on decentralisation, but yeah, I agree, especially since Mastodon is already there. Normies are just somehow very turned off by too much Linux talk, even though free software is part of the answer to keeping our society free and stopping monopolies from forming.

It didn’t work for me last time I tried, but yeah, it could have been fixed by now. It’s definitely the right direction to try, it’s the perfect solution for OP.

Does it work in game mode now? I thought it was only in desktop mode.

From doing dishes and stuff like that.

Or they could use a distro that’s already been created by a European vendor, maybe even create a competitive tender. There’s no point in creating a new distro, add a new repository if you must.

K-9 is probably an Android only client? They’d have to either find an open source iOS app to build on, or build a new one from scratch.

Thunderbird is finally out of beta so you can get it through the play store or F-Droid. K-9 itself was also updated so it’s now basically a K-9 branded version of Thunderbird.

Isn’t this part of the auto configuration stuff? Basically there’s a standard where you can add some DNS records to your domain and/or a standard file on your website so e-mail clients can automatically prepopulate all the email settings so you only need to worry about entering your email and password.

It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.

There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.

I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.

The post says they’re working on releasing to F-Droid.

The DMCA was never about protecting the little guy.
