I'm so damn sick of Discord being the platform where so many projects (FOSS and otherwise) do their community, collaboration, and support. That app is a confusing hot mess and gives me anxiety every time I open it.

Neben diesem Blödsinn, dass bei Projekten Community und Support über geführt werden, ist der andere scheiß . Wie ich diese scheiße Hasse. Wir haben als FOSS-Community genug tools entwickelt, die ohne diesen Blödsinn auskommen und rennen dann trotzdem zu diesen Proprietär-Affen....

Niestety ale poległem, przy całej sympatii do systemów GNU/Linux póki co Windows, po kilku ulepszeniach i wywaleniu bloatware'u jak dla mnie jest lepszy, albowiem za systemem stoją aplikacje a w moim wypadku jedna - Scrivener.
Nie ma aktualnej wersji na GNU/Linux, opcja przez Wine jest bardzo niestabilna i problematyczna.

Podobnie, niestety, na smartfonie - brakuje mi Android Auto, nawet kupiłem uchwyt na smartfona, ale jednak Android Auto jest niesamowicie wygodne.

I tu i tam w większości korzystam z programów open source, i tu i tam dzięki fajnym skryptom wywaliłem szpiony (prawie) i po prostu przyjemnie się działa.

Czekam aż na GNU/Linux pojawi się Scrivener i na Lineage/CalyxOS Android Auto. Wtedy na pewno przejdę, Debian z KDE jest niesamowicie szybki, Calyx podobnie.

The further you dig, the farther the #history goes, so we settled on starting in 1906, then the 90's, then #Slackware. This is the history of #Xz that culminated into a " #hack " that would have rocked the world if not for one intrepid #SQL #developer.

It's a work sprint, but I might have some time tomorrow, so LMK if you're around.

Thanks @nemobis! Nice to meet you @mako. What you are working on looks very interesting! If you feel like it, you could come visit us in @kanthaus (~17 min train ride + 5 minutes walk from Leipzig Hbf). We're a collective experimenting with progressive governance, contributing to collaborative online projects (, ) and . We have a meeting until noon but I could welcome you there after that and show you around.

Was curious if there were any FOSS 3D RTS games with a fantasy style to them, thinking of some of my old favs like Age of Mythology & Rise of Legends.

Pleased to find that there is one, & it mixes magic & tech factions much like Rise of Legends did back in the day!

It's a game called MegaGlest, well worth checking out! A little rough in some respects, but still altogether impressive!

@gmr_leon@mstdn.social avatar

I really dig some of the little touches to MegaGlest, such as the mages using their abilities to gather resources instead of pickaxes. The brief pause as gatherers switch from gathering to hauling, pulling the resources together to haul & deposit.

The visible progress bars as buildings/units are researching/producing upgrades or units. The way the main building lights up as night falls.

I might have to rethink my stance on " all the way".

Due to the highly scriptable nature of the static site generator that I'm building, site code (or even entire sites) may fall under copyleft, and that's not what I want. I've had a look at the , but for my use case, it still sounds too strict. I'm also not keen on writing my own license exception, and I doubt it'd keep enough protections to make GPLing worthwhile in the first place. So I'm afraid 2.0 is my best bet?

If I were to buy a new laptop with some version of newbie friendly linux preloaded, intending to use it for music and graphics arts (not gaming), social media, and regular LibreOffice type stuff (and affinity, audacity, etc), what laptop would I buy with what version of linux?
