It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

It took me more than a few minutes to realize that this is posted on Lemmy and not in one of the small subreddits I still follow.
As a loooong time battletech fan I am SO happy with the resurgence this franchise is seeing, and that PGI has actually listened to and involved fans in the creation and maintenance of their products.
For those who aren’t familiar, Mechwarrior Online, originally relased in 2013, was in end-of-life maintenance mode when PGI (the dev company) decided to effectively hand control of the game over to a small group of dedicated fans. That group, now called “The Cauldron” have brought in a slew of new content and balance updates, even new game modes.
This, coupled with an AMAZING game released in 2018by Harebrained Schemes, as well as some really bad moves by Games Workshop,has lead to major resurgence in the Battletech franchise.
For everyone else who remembers playing Mechwarrior 2 that came with a joystick back in 199whatever, I think this will be a great next chaoter in the story!
Im with you on this. I don’t dislike anime/manga as a medium. However, there is a tendancy for the format to exaggerate things I find annoying. That and the fan culture, much like many other highly dedicated fanbases, can be a major turn-off as well.
I am 100% sure this is a way to get customers to buy into their system which will have price hikes and limitations set in a few years after widespread adoption
Well according to the 1993 classic, “SimCity 2000,” fusion power becomes available to build in the year 2050. Since I have no other source that provides an exact date of viability, this remians the most reliable prediction we have.
So I was recently in a Clark’s outlet and at least the men’s shoes seemed obviously a victim of shrinkflation, ie they felt a lot cheaper and lesser quality. Which makes sense as they’re still doing 2 for 99 or I guess men’s just went up to 109. But they were 50 dollars each at the outlets back in 05, so they simply have...
Im interested in an answer to this too…I have been wearing Eccos for years, but recently they too have fallen victum to QoverQ (Quarterly profits over Quality).
