  • I wouldn't expect a blog post to explain what it is, as they're generally designed for people aware of the project. I doubt they're the ones that posted it here. Instead of clicking links, I just went to the main site and very quickly understood what it was.

  • the game updates based on the actions of other players, with planets being liberated and events having them taken back by the enemies. if the game had a big hacker problem it would negatively effect the game. plus having a hacker make your mission a free win would not be fun

  • Things on the Linux GUI land are so messed up that we even got this.

    I don't understand what you mean by this. This project is using a library provided by a major DE, if anything this shows the opposite of your point.

    There aren’t distribution “sponsored” IDEs (like Visual Studio or Xcode)

    Both GNOME and KDE have a text editor that supports LSP's and plugins, similar to VS Code. I also don't know anybody who still uses Visual Studio or Xcode, outside a specific situations where they're needed, which isn't a positive in my book.

    userland API documentation

    Linux has XDG Desktop Portals, protocols that all DEs and compositors can implement and can be used by any app.

  • I disagree in this case. The majority of Firefox forks make it clear they're a fork, giving credit to Mozilla. Midori seems to hide that they're a fork while adding very little to the browser. Their website also takes donations while having a fake phone number and broken contact button. Hard not to see that as suspicious.

    Edit: the dev was also completely ok with Firedragon switching to their codebase because they did so resepectfully.

    I still disagree with what the dev did, but I get the struggle.

  • The creator of Floorp posted a reponse to this: https://blog.ablaze.one/4125/2024-03-11/

    TLDR posted by the creator: creator:

    To put it simply, the current Floorp, including forks, will end the moment I stop maintaining it, so to prevent that from happening, I have prohibited forks. The idea is to solve the user's concern about code transparency by tightening the license when returning to open source, and to create a sustainable Floorp by giving them the choice of paying money or helping with the coding.

    Unfortunately a lot of this seems in reponse to Midori, a seemingly hostile fork with a pretty suspcious website.
