Seems like Organic Maps aren't saints either.

Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature...

Here's a relevant issue if anyone's interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218

//edit
Looking at the discussions it's even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn't be "misclassified" as ads...

It's probably something with your OS.

People like to meme about Nvidia being unusable on Linux, but before switching to AMD I was running various Nvidia GPUs for more than a decade and they were always rock-stable.

Pretty sure that's exactly what the other guy said... "Selling" your data can be worth it if you get good service in return, which is what Google used to provide, but now it barely works half the time.

That's a really bad argument. People smoking in public do force me to huff the second hand smoke.

Right, except if I knew beforehand which site has the results I need, why would I even use Google?

It's not only legal to assume, it's a requirement to default to "no".
Tracking is opt-in.

I doubt they do. They just want to be "secure" and are unwilling to admit setting the level at "highest" is bullshit.

It's not like you can easily get a new number and circumvent this "security" measure if you want... /s

Just because you could use it for knitting it doesn't mean it was its purpose.
There's not a lot of detail, but you can check on the Wiki why it's ultimately an unlikely explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron#Purpose

I don't know if I'd call that "admirable". It's not the first time I see Gnome team basically telling the users "STFU, we know better".

Damn, this thread you've linked... I can't believe they didn't even want to consider giving the user an option to choose the behavior for themselves.

There's no "feds" in Europe.

And if you bothered to check it yourself instead of bitching about it based on some random guy's post spreading FUD you might have found out Proton contributed to a legal fight that changed the Swiss law and made a repeat of this situation impossible.

Well, it is essentially what they're doing already with DRM.

Try watching a full resolution stream on any paid streaming service using "bad" software, like Firefox or Linux.

It's explained in the article, actually. ;)

The project was using Nintendo proprietary libraries, and Valve's already shown on previous occasion that they don't really want to go to court with sue-happy Nintendo.

Sure did. It's really not that hard to understand why Valve would not let someone remake a game that still hovers at around #50th place in Steam's most played games globally...

You know, you chose a bad post to get edgy.

Valve is actually one of the companies that treats fan projects very well, sometimes they'll even let you sell your project on Steam (see Black Mesa remake).

I wouldn't hold my breath. In some EU countries Honda doesn't even admit this model exists anymore...

I'm guessing the relatively high price and low mileage might have killed it.

These volunteers didn't think about it in these terms.
They gave away their work for free to help people learn languages, and for a long time Duolingo seemed like the best platform for that.

Starting your own platform is much more difficult than contributing to an existing one that seems to be operated with some amount of goodwill...

Yeah, he never did nothing for me! Fuck him!

Is this just Silverblue but KDE?

Uhh... This post isn't a joke?
