  • The mafia that welcomed all the refiugees from T411. I am also pretty happy that this tracker is out of business in such a disasterous way. They had no principles and were greedy asf. I hope the best for the french speaking torrent community and the p2p empire.

  • How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps?

  • Most of the time I use MarkDown and export as PDF, if I need more complex layouts I'll use Libre Office

  • You forgot to mention that it was ported years after its initial launch. Porting is way cheaper than developing especially nowadays where we have basically the same architecture in a dedicated DRM machine (console) than in a Personal Computer, it's basically a x86 APU running a proprietary fork of BSD (and Windows for xBox). It's not like back in the days where each machine (pc or console) had there own architectures that could radically differ. Also Game Engines have feature backed-in, Vulkan is universal (and better than DirectX (Microsoft) or OpenGL). Honestly I wouldn't be surprised that selling 3M copies on Steam alone at a 50% discount would still be a profitable porting.

    Porting and developing are not my jobs DYOR.

  • "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade

    Jump

  • DRM-free games is the main reason why I buy on GOG. Preservation is nice to have and donate to round up the price of purchase but I don't have money to become a patron. This feels important enough for me to care but not enough for me to put money every month in it. I'm glad people are doing it and that GOG exist.

  • Read the white paper again, listen to old Andreas Antonopoulos and you'll understand that Bitcoin was never meant to be just p2p electronic cash. Also I can see from your instance that your in favor of the failed fork becash. I am not particullary a small blocker however I am strongly in favor of not having all my daily transactions recorded forever on a public database, this feels dumb to me. Bitcoin is not compromised, the world is.

  • The Hijacking of Bitcoin

  • This feels like a mix of facts, conspiracy, misinterpretations, good and bad takes, I don't fully agree with this. However I agree with pushing back the digital gold HODL til you die mindset promoted by saylor and such.

  • Curious anyone’s thoughts on Atomic Mail ?

    Jump

  • The thing that they don't show a code Licence in their comparison is a bit off. It's proprietary software comparing to FOSS or Open Source competitor without any mention to this... But maybe it's decent.

  • It runs like shit, at least when I tried it. Never heard of Continuwuity, will looks into it thanks.

  • Best apps for private messaging

    Jump

  • Yeah Keet (and Pear in general) are doing some open washing, branding their apps as open source while using very restrictive licences, at least that's how I feel about them. It's closer to source available to my eyes.

  • While I agree to avoid using Sandboxed GMS I strongly disagree with do NOT use statement.

    My personal case

    My main profile doesn't have them, I get some proprietary apps through AuroraStore which grabs the APKs directly from Google Play Store without using my Google account and most of the time it works (Aurora Store is a bit buggy at time).

    There is some apps that I can't use without Play Services or if they are not installed from Play Store itself (FUCK DRMs!). For them I have setup a user profile with the Sandboxed Play Services, it stopped when I leave the profile and let me use these apps that I NEED more than absolute privacy or anonymity.

    My recommendations

    I strongly recommend to anyone to try using GrapheneOS without them, especially if you're already into multiple FOSS apps. The Plexus app could help you identify which apps would cause issues for you without the Google shit. Then if needed for some apps with no alternative that suits you, setting up either a seperated user profile or, if it's too unconveniant for you, a Private Space with the Sansboxed Play Store and Services installed. And if these two are still not conveninant for you just install them on your main profile, that sucks but that's the sad reality of Android. As stated by the GrapheneOS Team it will still be way better than stock Google OS or any other manufacturer flavour of Android.

    Not everybody have the same threat model and using GrapheneOS will improve your security, privacy and control over your device even with these proprietary background services from Google. Maybe for your threat model (or ideaology) you shouldn't use them but that doesn't mean everybody should do the same. Privacy shouldn't be all or nothing, it's about power and control over your personal informations, and GrapheneOS is a wonderful tool to take back some of that from your phone, having Sandboxed Play Store is okay even if not desired and you can choose how you want it thus having control and power over them.

  • Maybe memoria but I don't think it support e2ee. However it is a self-hosted solution which is more private than a unecrypted SaaS with tons of telemetry.
