  • If i lived in a country where rich settlers were displacing my communities for decades, I too would reject "offers" to forever split my homeland in half based on the whims of guilty white supremacists on another continent.

  • If you're desperate for a discord-like experience (because lets face it, irc and mailing lists arent very flashy anymore!) you can try:

    • rocket chat - General purpose chat platform, very similar discord
    • mattermost - developer-centric platform, similar to slack
    • Matrix - open protocol, has a bunch of desktop clients

    Yes you wont have voice/vodeo chat for these but IMO that's rarely useful anyway. And if you DO need it then you can use stuff like teamspeak or zoom***

    ***yes i know the issues with these options but for devs you dont really ever need to use meetings for very long and sometimes using a shitty free service with all you need is better than self hosting your own. Maybe Nextcloud talk can work?

    Some good arguments made for FOSS voice/meeting apps, and why VC and meetings are more important to the FOSS workflow than I thought :)

  • Sony has been pretty good with porting games to PC but usually only the ones that aren't "live service" titles like Gran Turismo has become nowadays.

    For now, I guess Modded GT4 is the best im gonna get (which isn't a low bar by any means, it's great on steamdeck!)

  • Personally, beyond a few material-like components I always prefer it when an app goes for its own system-agnostic design language like Spotify does. On desktop I'm definitely more picky if I can get away with it; Qt dor KDE and GTK for GNOME etc

  • Hamas has offered Israel multiple very tenable peace deals that include the immediate release of all Israeli prisoners and absolutely no demand for reparations for rebuilding the strip that is now thought to be uninhabitable for 70 years. Israel has denied every single one.

    They have always wanted palestinians to be exterminated. This is Israel's dream scenario.

  • I've yet to see eco-fascists going "tHanKs HouThis yOu SaVEd gAzA!!" shedding a single tear for Gaza, where Israeli uranium, lead, and phosphorus have turned the very soil that once hosted olive trees into an uninhabitable zone rife with cancer, blight, and birth defects.

  • Yemen and Gaza have the right to defend themselves. If you dont want oil tankers in the red sea you'd simply now ignore the Yemeni navy's warning to ships to not pass the strait if you're going to do business with the UK, US, or Israel.

  • I guess smaller apps would be nice but that's also a thing that can be helped - I have a handful of flutter apps on my phone right now (that i know of) and they run in at:

    18MB - Nextcloud recipes client

    50MB - Spotube (Youtube music client with spotify integration)

    100MB - My job - a savings and investments app, with half a dozen third party API integrations.

    So depending on your scope and stuff you can really build an app to whatever size. Cant account for react native or blazor but the idea is usually just abstract native graphics APIs instead of using a browser runtime.
