i'm so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It's also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I'm sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi's legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.

I too just turned into a Marxist after finding out about Linux and software freedom in 2020 lol

I think there might be more than a handful of us. Welcome, comrade.

I strongly disagree. When everybody has a space and opportunity to draw is when it's the most fun :)

Otherwise, it just turns into a toxic and unpleasant experience

I'm glad that they chose the AGPL when open-sourcing their server. I don't see that many companies, especially ones offering a "product", open-sourcing their work with a copyleft license.

This is awesome. My favorite Reddit client was Infinity. Pretty happy to see it being usable for Lemmy!

"Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired." — Cave Johnson (Portal 2)

Technically .NET Framework is now surpassed by just .NET, which is entirely FOSS. Modern C# is virtually fully FOSS. The basic dotnet CLI is open source too, and you'll always have mono.

Microsoft obviously isn't making it easier. But I honestly haven't felt the need to use Visual Studio or any of Microsoft's proprietary tools.

I strongly disagree. Multiple times I've been playing a game and a friend saw my Discord status and chatted with me about it. It's just another way for my friends to see my interests, nothing new on the internet.

Would I want this status to be displayed somewhere else (especially a more FOSSy place)? Hell yeah. But there isn't any, and the people that rarely talk to me and are into gaming, aren't, unfortunately, on anywhere else but Discord.

Celeste screenshots, because every scenario in that game is beautiful. And it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Here is my favorite one:

weird. for me, the "hard engine and framework stuff" is the fun part, while the content creation is not boring, but just very hard for me :P

well, if I have an object on the heap and I want a lot of things to use it at the same time, a shared_ptr is the first thing I reach for. If I have an object on the heap and I want to enforce that no one else but the current scope can use it, I always reach for a unique_ptr. Of course, I know you know all of this, you have used it almost daily for 7 years.

In my vision, I could use a raw pointer, but I would have to worry about the lifetime of every object that uses it and make sure that it is safe. I would rather be safe that those bugs probably won't happen, and focus my thinking time on fixing other bugs. Not to mention that when using raw pointers the code might get more confusing, when I rather explicitly specify what I want the object lifetime to be just by using a smart pointer.

Of course, I don't really care how you code your stuff, if you are comfortable in it. Though I am interested in your point of view in this. I don't think I've come across many people that actually prefer using raw pointer on modern C++.

oh sorry! forgot about it adding a description. will do next time.

there's also a multiplatform implementation in Go

you should check out Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, it's awesome and fits perfectly in your description

oh yeah, I heard about the already forked projects before, certainly awesome that people already have that option. I do use Aniyomi, and it's pretty damn good.

For some reason I've never felt like I needed extra features that the main project didn't have, so I've never looked out for forks. But looking at some of the forks right now they seem pretty good as well and do have features that would be super useful to me. Certainly will try it out.

FOSS is so amazing.

test my own PWA of websites I'm developing

changing browsers or keeping both open breaks the workflow and sucks. and it's pretty damn slow for me too

well, I just came across the article on Mastodon and wanted to share it. I mean jeez, imagine sharing and wanting to discuss interesting topics just for fun?

and I posted the article on !technology@beehaw.org and then cross-posted it here, because I thought it was also an interesting community to discuss it. I saw a bunch of people cross-posting it elsewhere, so if you're seeing it a bunch of times then it's probably because those communities probably also have something in common with the article. I personally think every community have different people and different discussions to have, so I don't see it as particularly bad.

BookWyrm has a barcode scanner on its UI, which redirects you into the scanned book title (if it's registered in the "databases" BookWyrm pulls from)

Torch Browser is not open source, and it still is based on chromium. It's the worst browser combination possible.

Falkon is pretty cool! I prefer using qutebrowser if it's gonna use QtWebEngine anyway. It is slower and less featureful than the main browsers, though. If you don't mind it, I'd say go for it!

I didn't know about Dot Browser, but it looks... unfinished? It's based on Firefox, so that's cool. But it seems someone would be better off just using something like LibreWolf (or Tor if you actually want some privacy).

- yes*

- yes, that is completely your choice

- yes, though you could take a look at "wake on LAN"

- yes, as much as your server can handle

- I don't think so

* it's totally possible setting up a server on Windows (depending on which version of Windows), but I must recommend using Linux, as that would be way easier to setup and maintain, and probably will be faster overall

that seems a lot like my situation (though I'm just a student :P). awesome to see someone trying to self-host FOSS. best of luck to you!

this is so cool! where can we look into the source code and play it?

true, based and redpilled

it's just capitalism being the abhorrent shit it always was.

codeberg is great! the community there seems to be interested in growing the platform and developing tools as useful as those on GitLab/GitHub.

oops, something went wrong while I was typing it. fixed, thanks

Parlera is an amazing and fun party game

that's so cool! I honestly never thought about using Skia to render a game, but it seems like a good option especially when it's simple 2D graphics that's being deployed on the web as well.
