I’m not sure what the state of VR is in Linux, other than “not good”.

Probably better than you think, not by a mile, but still way better than the awful SteamVR for Linux could make people believe https://db.vronlinux.org/ https://lvra.gitlab.io/

Lutris does have a well-working installer for the SoapBox launcher. However, it seems that some specific servers aren't supported, due to restricting the new WebCalls thing for security reasons, I guess, such as NightRiderz, from what I assume. https://lutris.net/games/soapbox-race-world-need-for-speed-world/

To be fair, I'm in the same situation. Fedora, Libsteam_api.so and more dependencies and all. Do want to share it out, even if I didn't work for me. No idea if it is a case of “Source only” or if the devs don't really know what they are doing and forgot to remove non-free dependencies like the Steam Integration.

Gonna wait for a couple of years then. Building a fully compatible new web-engine from scratch. It takes time. Do get why you felt the need to advertise the project either way.

It is based on OpenStreetMap too. It seems mostly a different map renderer + dofferent UX which tailor more to mobile. Read a bit more their blog, it seems to especially take care of replacing Qwant Maps, as an efficient Private and GAFAM efficient alternative for the French market. A web-app for maps, for the French, by the French. (It also has a blog entry about how people have Anglicized the term to juste use "Maps", often to allude to Google Maps as a common day word, which is ineed terrible practice to do)

DivestOS was a fork of it for good reasons. LineageOS doesn't offer the same privacy or security features Divest had in the first place. https://divestos.org/index.html

What do you suggest ? Jpeg-xl ? Avif ?

The Archiving group The-Eye did actually made a back up of the Archive torrents. https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/archive.org_dumps/torrents/ They have a text file listing the file list of all the collexted torrents. It's a text file. That they had to compress. And it's still around 800Mo big just for that one.

https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-mirror They've been supporting dweb solutions for years. Evn if they haven't enabled back their public dweb.archive.org portal.

Still not possible to transfer your account to other instances. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Exactly. I was surprised to see my unique named throw-away email being found in the leak, despite having changed it to an uniquely generated throw-away account alias in the year prior. But i don't mind that much.

However, bad security practices must still be pointed out regardless of it being applied to something important or large. I do still can criticize my friend decision to expose his local server at home, unsecured, even if in the grand matter of things, it is unlikely it will be exploited or impact him in any way.

Now, the only issue having my throw-away address, is that i will have to throw it away once i start receiving spam on it. As far i know, the pirated database wasn't shared nor necessarily conserved outside of prooving the original clowns hacktivists group involvment, outside of confirmed security analyst.

My bad. Yep, you are correct. I thought the GPL actually prevented you to sell compiled version of a GPL FOSS software (Outside of the original maintainer) but it seems it isn't compared to this one which force you to keep it free. There's also limitations on what you can remove so yep. Non-free. Seemed a bit Counter-intuitive to me in the first part. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.en.html

I should probably suggest the GNU Foundation to check this license to compare it, as I often see question of FUTO software license online.

Not in the usual sense, because you can still fully fork it, use it, modify it and redistribute it freely like a FOSS software.

You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

The only limitation which make it non-free is :

Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

I don't really understand if it "prevent you" to remove and/or prevent the modification of the donation to FUTO part of the code. Should not prevent you from adding yours on top of it (As in, adding a prompt as in "*If you want to do donate to the project, you can donate to the original app owner (DONATE TO FUTO) or the maintainer of the fork you are using (DONATE TO THE MAINTAINER).*) And the obvious limitation of making derivative work of it, non-free of course.

Also, they do reserve themselves rights to abrodge the license for those who abridge it, which i don't know how legally useful it may be, for license violations compared to protecting the GPL licenses from violations for example.

tl;dr : Seems FOSS to me, as long as :

• You don't try to make it non-free
• You don't remove the donation to FUTO part of the app

Actually, you were right. The issue for me is that the original k9-mail repo did also released the current beta thunderbird version (and i think, one with still the k9 branding if needed). I was trying to switch to it via that repo, and didn't noticed the thunderbird fork listed the in the repo. There's no changes, outside of the releases only being thunderbird branded outside of all the previous k9-mail ones. If you were on k-9 mail, and want to switch to it on Obtainium, manually install the new version and mugrate your settings to it. And once it's all done, remove the k9-mail repo from Obtainium, and add that thunderbird one.

Speaking off, I'm still having issues adding it, since it still get confused by the k9 original repo origin, even if i try to filter the pre-release .apk's with the thunderbird name. My bad, still kept the k9-mail repo instead of the thunderbird fork.

Just not necessarily FOSS. The code is available and open to a certain limit. Not free however.

GrapheneOS also made me give up my heterosexuality /j

Mint is a good choice ! They have a decent help forum where you could ask for such help. Like this one for example. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=228884 Feel free to give more details here too, maybe i, or someone else here could help you with your specific Mac problem.

You'll get plenty of answers with different suggestions, so I'll suggest checking in that community for plenty of previous answers. I would say to stick with "main" known distribution and to ditch specialized ones. https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Single-Maintainer https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Distros

I'm on Nobara but despite the fantastic work of GloriousEggRoll, it did had it's lot of breakage which made me want to switch to the suggested uBlue Fedora atomic builds, per those criterias.

Yes.
