I decided not to keep supporting Pixelfed after the weird coments dansup was making about people developing other clients and his apparent wish of putting ads on the platform. I was already getting people from my circle to create accounts on it, so it was very disappointing.

There’s also another whole situation with the way he speaks but that isn’t that much of an issue for me

OP, thank you so much for Weather Master! I was using Clima but they lack so many things I would always check websites.

My list:

• ExifEraser - Erase metadata from pictures
• Catima - Loyalty Card & Ticket Manager (alternative to Google Wallet)

Is there a good way to verify signatures while using Obtainium? I haven’t done it yet but I was thinking about it and it seems quite reckless of me to not do it

I am sure they will be delighted to get your PR to fix said issues! This is how wonderful open source is.

I realized that F-Droid doesn’t have latest version of the apps though.

Edit: It seems you can download the APK on their website: https://protonapps.com/

That’s actually very funny

I love how you organized your message, it helps my ADHD brain read haha

I dislike that there isn’t another option like “don’t show me this on the front page” or something. Blocking sounds too strong for me, haha

I should probably learn with you and start blocking people, but I don’t see many things that trigger the need being on Beehaw

Unfortunately that doesn’t apply when you are on your work computer and need to connect to your environment which is behind a corporate VPN. Thanks for telling me about code-server though, I’ll check that definitely!

I agree, just need to figure out how to connect to a pod using OpenSSH.

It removes the proprietary part inserted when MS builds the code. This unfortunately makes other proprietary extensions useless, such as Dev Containers. You can still use the main extension marketplace by changing a .json but some MS extensions won’t work at all (tried it last week).

The game I linked to you is literally made by two people.

I always forget GoG exists lol

What do they offer that steam doesn’t? Old games?

But there are examples like Palworld or Helldivers or BG3 or others where smaller/independent studios release absolute smash game because they either 1) were bold enough to do something fresh, inovative and/or 2) absolutely love what they do and put so much more than “now the usual bare minimum” in their game it simply shows.

Smaller doesn’t make it a small company. You only gave examples of companies that aren’t small at all. Many small studios are facing bankruptcy even if they have successful games and depend on publishing deals to keep existing. Have you watched the Double Fine documentary about Psychonauts 2 development? If you haven’t I really recommend it, it is very interesting.

In the end, you need to have money to pay people wages. Game developers don’t work solely because they “absolute love what they do”.

Just to illustrate, there’s a dev of a game I am interested that post monthly reports of revenue on Mastodon. It just feels really weird to me that they end up getting 15% of the gross revenue. Should be a little higher if we take out refunds, but this sucks.

I loathe Epic Store but I wish there was better competition to Steam. They definitely offer better cuts for devs but I think they still need to understand what makes Steam popular the way that it is. There’s a huge social media aspect, proton, bigger picture with the controller support…

We are in a very delicate situation where Valve can do whatever they want. They can suddenly decide to start making steam worse for users, adding more ads than we already have and we won’t be able to do anything, because in the end we don’t really own anything we have there.

Edit: many typos lol

Do you really think that an indie game with a few people working on it should pay the same cut than bigger companies? And even so, the game industry is not doing good, that’s why games are getting worse and worse and there are so many lay-offs.

There’s Jerboa as well, lol

Oh, that’s definitely not the issue here lmao
