Oh awesome. I’ve never heard of it, I’ll have to check it out

A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).

It’d just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to “Google” my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)

I don’t remember asking what Debian was. I demanded an answer to the question, “would you download an unfamiliar file from a stranger without any context or description of what it is” (paraphrasing because I don’t remember exactly what I said). And that demand was only because of the condescending comment I was replying to.

I can admit I have been disrespectful to three people, but only in retaliation to a disrespectful comment levied at me first. Everyone else I have had a pleasant discussion with and thanked them for their time and help. I deserve as much respect as anyone else here does, why did you and the others feel justified being disrespectful to me and expecting me to just allow that to happen without me calling it out for what it is?

And I did read the links you posted, I just don’t see how they are relevant to this case. I thought it could have been a productive discussion, and other than this thread and three particularly rude and unwelcoming people, it has been.

I asked if anyone knows of a resource. I didn’t demand a response. Are you seriously suggesting that people in the open source community see sharing information as a bad thing? That is honestly baffling 😂

That’s a great list, thank you for taking the time. I’ll look into them all

A wonderful example of gatekeeping. Because I don’t have this particular piece of inside knowledge I get downvotes. This is literally my first step into the world of open source, a community I had come to believe was welcoming.

This is beyond a joke. If there weren’t other people legitimately engaging with my question in good faith, I’d be well and truly put off of working with you people.

Yes, getting into the open source world is basically the point of my whole post isn’t it? And you didn’t answer my question

It is a downloadable file. How often do you trust strangers that say “Here you go” with no actual context. I’m not trying to be mean, but seriously put yourself in my shoes. Would you download that file?

Another great idea, thank you. I’d never heard of F-Droid either

There’s more watermark than there is image 😂

Oh wow, thank you so much. This sounds perfect, almost exactly what I was imagining

That’s a reasonable stance and I do agree.

I was about to say “but what if I’m just not yet using a project that I would otherwise be passionate about because I don’t know it exists”, but you’ve basically gone over that in the rest of your comment. So thank you

Why are you trying to get me to download whatever that file is?

I’d never heard of codeberg, thanks for the heads up

Exactly! In spite of his potentially controversial policies and decisions, it’s difficult to say he isn’t a leader. We haven’t had one of those for a very long time, only leeches dressed in suits

Of the game? The hunting has always been my favourite aspect, although I’d say the world building is objectively the best part of the game.

Of your screenshots? The way the light filters through the branches in the first one and the shadows they create

Can I ask why you wouldn’t recommend it? I’m open to the possibility that I’m missing something but imo exposure and attention would often be a big hurdle when it comes to open source projects.

Having a repository that lists and describes them doesn’t feel like it could be a bad thing to me

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I completely understand that it’s not gonna be as popular as Reddit immediately, but I know that if I felt the need to jump ship, other people will too.

I’m most just searching through All and sorting by new ATM trying to find some interesting things to read about and topics to discuss

Look at how thrilled they are to receive their reminder that their sons were sent into a metaphorical meat grinder.

Assuming this is real, this just adds one more thing for Russia to be ashamed of

I haven’t been proud to be British in a long time. How Starmer has handled the US breaking their agreements with Ukraine has made me proud again
