Damn, they could have chosen another name for their platform…

They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.

Why waiting? Do it now. Give Linux Mint a try, or elementaryOS if you want a mac-like experience.

Yeah but please remember that Luigi is innocent

Yeah, me too. Unless I’m saving a photo or a vector drawing, then I always choose PNG

Yeah I agree, snap sucks big time. It’s so sad that Ubuntu decided to go all in on that shit

Finally! Good news. One less thing to remove every time I install Firefox.

Agree, especially switching between tabs is sooooooo slow

I can’t stand the fact that discord is used as a forum for many open source projects.

It’s horrible, it weights a lot, it’s not easily searchable and it’s completely excluded from Google search results. Bring back forums!

People need to go back to real forums.

Yes, people are very stupid if they invest in such a shitty platform. They’re going to lose all of their money.

But the Steam Deck can have Pokémon, Zelda, etc. thanks to piracy.

I feel like it’s morally correct to pirate Nintendo games at this point.

I’ve just pirated all of their games for their not most recent console. Feels good man.

Yes, but in my case I pay Prime for the shipping and the shows. Not for the games, I don’t even care about them, I just have a hoarder impulse.

The reason Valve is so great is because it’s a private company. I hope they’ll never sell out.

Me too. I’m not even a gamer, the only game I’ve played is Civilization. And maybe one day I’ll sell my account for sweet sweet money.

Because you’re smart and you are archiving everything. Most people don’t even know they can download the installers, they just install Gog Galaxy.

Convince friends and family to sign the petition, even if they don’t even know what a videogame is :)

I agree. Terrible design.

Thanks for asking! Dying is the solution for everything. It’s the best solution. Humans must die for a variety of reasons.

Ooops, sorry, my bad!

You don’t have to do it! :)

One of the original maintainers of Simple Mobile Tools forked the project and he’s adding new features and fixing bugs.

The project is called Fossify and you can already download the apps from both Play store and F-Droid

But then you won’t be able to receive phone calls from other numbers while the phone engages in the fake conversation

Damn this sucks. What are they thinking? It’s a horrible way to manage a text input

It’s still taking to iMessage directly, but now you need an Apple account, your iMessage account won’t be associated with a phone number.

They also have a different app called Beeper Cloud that uses a relay Mac somewhere in a data center.

Here you go: https://github.com/FossifyOrg

Oohh thanks! TIL. Now I wonder if I need Samsung Health to be always on, to be honest…

Thanks! I edited the link in OP.

There’s a new maintainer, search for FossifyX on GitHub. They plan to keep supporting the open-source versions of all the Simple Mobile Tools apps.

I completely agree.

Another recent example has been the developer tool Insomnia. It went from open and free to riddled with trackers and paid-only features.

Luckily an open source fork, called Insomnium, has been created.

That’s an interesting question. For now, the apps on F-Droid are still safe, but we have to see.

The new owner could decide to pull them out of the store.

Pro-tip: download the apk from F-Droid. Link here: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/

It’s easy when you force it down the throat of all users. I’d like to see the numbers if it was opt-in instead of opt-out…

What a mess. And then they wonder why people are afraid of installing updates

Good luck finding your banking app there.

Thanks, I hate it.

Fuck Google, just stick to the standards.

They’re doing the same thing Apple does with iMessage and Google complains about

Have you tried Simple Gallery Pro? It’s free on F-Droid

I thought the devs of NewPipe didn’t support Sponsorblock

The fact that as soon as the UK left the EU carriers removed the free roaming shows the importance of government regulations

Voyager is open source :) you can find the source on GitHub
