I just learned of it today and was checking out their dev blog and it went back to 2011??? That’s crazy.

Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.

Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”

This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.

TLDR: Yes

Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.

Perhaps a model like itch.io offers. Each product can set a price or have a “pay what you want” model. I feel some would be more likely to give money if it’s right up front.

But the biggest part that I think we need, is a centralized location, store or not. Sometimes it’s hard to find if an open source alternative even exists because it could be on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc.

Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.

You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.

I have an RTX 3080 Ti working beautifully on EndeavourOS (Arch based).

I mean, why not self host an instance of git like forgejo?

Make it February 22 and call it F022 Appreciation.

Am I dumb or is there not a way to share a link directly from F-Droid?

I try the share button, but it tries to share the .apk file.

This is what I use and I almost forgot that I’m even using it until I saw this post.

Edit: It’s on F-Droid but I don’t know how to share the link directly to it on there.

I learned on the 90s.

Where is ‘here?’ I grew up in Midwest, US, and I absolutely learned phonics.

Man… I initially read that as

can’t be fucked with capitalism

and I was thoroughly confused.

To be fair, a standard (non-smart) watch uses a fraction of power compared to an Apple Watch which is still essentially a iPhone.

With that said, I have a Samsung watch, and though I charge it daily, it could probably last up to 3 days, so I don’t know what Apple is doing.
