Why support it? Their specialty is Linux.

Let’s not use “sideload”, as you’re just installing apps.

Trash is subjective. Luanti can run on potatoes without an SSD. Worth a try: https://www.luanti.org/en/

All because they throw it into b2b with teams and ado and windows and whatever other shit they call software.

The signal one suggests it’s a phone OS hack that can open apps so could probably do threema too.

The article you shared suggested it’s likely the result of lobbying by the company so they use a company inside the country.

Fossify photos is also good.

Tbh, it worked really well on Linux. I played for 2 hours and… whispers in hushed tones… got bored. Please don’t lynch me.

My issue is that corporate folk behind this attempted to do this. IMHO, the stewardship of the project is all wrong, and the motives questionable. It did feel like you were defending their actions. Corporate influence is not a defining aspect of open source for me. Its an unfortunate problem that ultimately leads to the true dilemma. Open source is about sharing and giving your time freely, corporate goals is how can we profit from our position in this project.

I wonder what symbols they’ll use to advertise this one…

Through pushing through user antagonistic changes completely at odds with users wants and hoping people are pliable enough to forget all about trying to be screwed so you can bide time until the next at attempt to screw users?

Well, that’s the vibe I’m getting from you. I naively assumed open source was based on trust, shared effort and contributions to benefit users so they can install software on their machine that they know is reliable/trustworthy and privacy focussed because anyone can scrutinise it. Silly me.

So they raised a PR with the intention to do this?

Are you saying the only reason they backtracked is because users weren’t happy?

I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.

They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification.

If you enable overlay, does it work?

Did it ever work? If so, when did it break?

The point was made very strongly at the time. Don’t use a Google driven chrome project. You don’t have that issue on Firefox or its forks.

Didn’t they already with manifest v3?
