Dear Santa, if you are reading this, spacemanspiffy has been really nice this year. You should get him a nice present.

If you are collaborating with a team, you need to keep your work in sync.

What does this have to do with corporativism?

now that Affinity is coming to Linux

Wait, what?

Edit: I’ve only found this and if this site were to be trusted, I would take it with a grain of salt. https://techcentral.co.za/affinity-for-linux-canvas-next-big-move-could-reshape-the-desktop-software-market/274861/

Your post reads a bit aggresive towards a use case completely fabricated within your imagination. However, it’s quite different in reality.

I do graphic design and need a FOSS alternative to Fontbase, but also able to comply with technical requirements for dev teams.

Something like what I’ve described in my OP would be great for both dev and designer teams alike.

Also, if you try to be nicer to people, you’ll help make the Fediverse a nicer place.

Doesn’t Steam have a closed beta feature?

To me it sounds like they want to avoid Steam’s cut of their fanbase.

If this turns out to be any good, it might be the first Rogue-whatever I’ll play. Racing games is the only genre where I wouldn’t mind these kinds of mechanics.

Carmageddon 2 with Iron Maiden’s Be Quick or be Dead was freaking glorious.

Agreed, if you grew using another program, switching is hard unless it’s UX/UI is superb.

When I ditched Adobe, Inkscape was a breeze. GIMP is hard AF and Krita a bit easier but it doesn’t have the features I need. I ended up using Photopea, and now I’ve tried Affinity and it’s the best Photoshop alternative I’ve tried yet.

Collabora is looking pretty good so far. Still a few rough edges but easier than any other FOSS office software.

Hi-Fi Rush is having its Denuvo anti-tamper software removed

ok, maybe I’ll now grab it…

as part of Tango Gameworks’ transition to new owners Krafton.

ok, maybe not.

I hope it’s not another Sony attempt at a live service game.

Edit: lol, wtf Sony?

If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.

Pixel level Linux phone backed by Valve? Sign me up! It would mean a massive boost to the whole Linux on phones dev community. But that dream is now shattered. Dang.

This is great news. However, how will they make money to keep working on it? Will they still sell the game on Steam? What’s the plan?

Build an open source & paid cloud hosted service that can sync OFL licensed fonts through an API, GUI, GIT and you’ll be swimming in cash. Just make sure it’s easy for casuals & devs and works for both individuals and teams.

There are projects similar to this, but nothing nearly this level of usable by everyone.

AGPL works for me. Good to know.

I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.

They said they’ll start with Steam OS for ARM via their partner program. Same as with their x86 partnerships.

Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.

Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?

You are assuming.

Not me, my kids (4 & 7). I wouldn’t play a mobile game, I just want some apps that I can’t avoid and aren’t available on desktop.

Honestly, I hope it flops for what they have done. I’m happy for Arc Raiders, a great example of how they should have done it.

F*ck yesss, Waydroid for the lazy like me!
