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

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.
Man… I initially read that as
can’t be fucked with capitalism
and I was thoroughly confused.
So you just used the AppImage. I seen to recall having issues with it, but that’s been awhile. I’ll have to give it another try. Are you using Wayland?
How do you have Cura installed?
Man, I’d love to see this phone get made, but it really sounds too good to be true. If it does get made, it’ll likely cost more than most top of the line phones on the market, and then there’s the concern of the build quality considering it will be crowdfunded.
I’ve actually been testing with fish recently coming from zsh, though I might wait until 4.0 fully releases before I make a more conclusive decision to move or not.
With that said, I remember looking through omf themes and stumbled onto Starship that branched off one of the themes and really liked the concept.
Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have done that myself. I love browsing itch.io but I don’t want an otherwise useful feed to be clouded with a ton of lower quality/incomplete games.
Of course that’s not to say they’re all low quality or incomplete.
I downloaded it but I’ll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn’t able to do.
I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it’s called) at the bottom of the screen.
It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn’t work.
I’m still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can’t use it yet.
Edit: looks like it’s already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.
Just curious, how do you host it? Do you have it containerized or no?
I’m actually interested to see how this does so I’ve been following it.
As someone who enjoyed the brief comet that was Vine but despises TikTok, this feels like a throw back to that.
Of course, I’d be delusional if I said that wasn’t hopeful thinking.

You know GMs will sometimes also use good old-fashioned directly stolen art from the Internet, right?
Whether it’s AI generated or just ripped from Google images or from a fantasy novel, if it’s for personal use, what difference does that make?
I do agree though that using AI for anything that is for profit is effectively a crime, especially huge corporations like Hasbro.
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.
