Not sure where you live but it’s quite shite in both countries (nonof them tge US) that I call home as well.

Well, just keep pumping in the billions until the bubble bursts and we can look for the next fad, to do it all over again, right?

Surprise! 🎉

Me every day when I turn on the news 😭

Stealing was always a crime only for the poor, the rich have been doing it for centuries. It’s only even more blatant in this case.

I hope you mean torrenting and not tormenting 😸

Just install Linux on an external SSD and test it.

I started years and years ago with this podcast from the BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0l3td5c/episodes/downloads

Just get a podcast app like #AntennaPod on #FDroid, paste the RSS feed:

https://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p0l3td5c.rss

download it all and you’re good to go.

Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem …

Is this for real? I can buy a book, scan it and put it on the internet and it wouldn’t be piracy? Or is this just the usual “it’s not a crime if rich people/evilcorps do it” bs?

I do this so often with our dog I’m kinda feeling bad about it 🤭

Why would they, there’s nothing to gain for them in doing that, so they won’t. They only care about profit.

Well, hello there.

Good dog!

Nextcloud has a poll-addon that (afaik) doesn’t have all the bells and whistles Google has but it seemed super descent every time I’ve come across it.

I was wondering about singeling out Godot here as well, it’s such a wholesome project, imho

Meh, I don’t think I agree. Sure, these things are problems and sure they are a problem in OS spaces (the last one obs only with OS) but

• projects have the right to choose what communication systems they use (most of them are unpaid volunteers doing this in their free time I’m pretty certain), yes, some are more cumbersome than others for different sets of people, it sure would be cool if they’d use the one I/you like. But that goes for literally any project / product?
• toxic people exist in all communities, if moreso in OS than (random example) Star Wars fandom, is very debatable. How toxic are the Microsoft forums? I honestly have no idea.
• Mozilla doing what Mozilla does, yeah, it’s a meme at this point. Whatever.

small opensource can do nothing until big opensource does the step…

Why? Small open source projects totally can use “modern”™ communication channels, have nice communities and don’t enshitify. Why would they not because big project (in your opinion) aren’t doing it? I overall have super good experiences with almost all OS forums I’ve ever been to, Manjaro, Inscape, Krita, Godot, KDE, Bazzite, Fedora and so many others.

+1

I learned Inkscape / Scribus / Krita (which was not easy after 15+ years hooked on Adobe BS) while still on Windoge, had used Linux before so the switch was really painless.

If it’s not too high, I think that’s ok, running an asset store is probably even more work than I think it is.

Uhhhhh, Google poll 🤢
