He gave a reason, and said he’s not going to answers why questions, so your guess is as good as anyone else’s.
We should be thankful that this person maintained the app and put up with Google’s bullshit for so long.
If you find this app helpful, consider supporting whoever is willing to take over maintaining the app or a fork.
I hope Gimp 3.0 stable will happen before the heat-death of the universe.
I guess integration with Google Drive is a big convenience for users.
But yes, if the cost of getting access is to high for indie developers, then it make sense to avoid Google Drive. Creating and maintaining your own cloud sync service for a specific app may not be worth it, they should investigate integration with existing Google Drive competitors/alternatives.
Nice.
Does Forgejo support Git? I’m not familiar with Forgejo, and it’s not obvious in this announcement or their homepage.
Forgejo does support Git, I didn’t read carefully enough.
GIMP 2.99.99.1.5-final-reallyfinal-rc64-proper
Yes, AppImage can run on more distro.
Still AppImage has disadvantages over DEB: No auto-update, No/less system integration, Bigger install packages.
They can’t possibly provide a package for every distro.
Signal’s model, ie keep tight control over development and distribution of the client, and the absence of federation, it well suited for Apple/Google’s stores, but not at all for open-source and Linux’ ecosystem.
Some projects of Signal-compatible clients and forks received a message from a Signal representrive requesting they stop distributing unofficial clients that connect to their servers.
That probably has on shilling effect on Linux distribution that may be considering building and distributing Signal in their repository.
Don’t waste time trying to reason them. If you’re not able and willing and sue them to enforce the GPL license, the company won’t care.
You should directly informe one of the organisations mentioned previously, they may have a lawyer and experience fighting this kind of fight.
Best you can do youself is collect evidence that they’re distributing modified GPL software, and write a precise description of the issue, to help these organisations kickstart their investigation into the GPL violation.
I’m going to assume lack of volonteers.
Nice list. Note MicroG doesn’t appear in F-Droid’s default repository. It probably cannot be installed as a regular app, or requires adding a different repository.
NewPipe supports PeerTube and others, give it a try to lower your dependency on YouTube!
Quoting from another comment:
Nope, just install 1.19 and A-Apps that are installed should start working.
That’s good to hear! Did you had to tweak any setting to get this working?
There’s another comment where someone wonders if there’s any setting to enable this.
Great to see Taler continue to move forward. I hope a bank and/or fintech company finally adopt this. It shouldn’t stay an experiment and deserve adoption for day-to-day purchases.
Automatic delay and time adjustment should be standard for consumer devices and electric car charging that consume lot of energy, and don’t need to be activated immediately.
For years and even decades, it’s been possible to setup water heaters to activate during low-rate electricity hours, and store the hot water for later.
Seconded, AGPL may be better especially in cases where software is network related.
That’s why I like the GPL. I’m fine with people using my software for personal use, or for commercial use if that’s integrated in another open source software.
If a company want to use my software with an unrestrictive opensource license, we’re going to have to discuss license price.
Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.
