Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.

What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It’s not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it’s still pretty good.

I can’t believe OP is actually forklift certified

Cloudflare Tunnels are black magic and exactly what you’re looking for:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/

Free, no need to self host a server somewhere externally. Can even be used for SSH!

There was no judgement, only a settlement. Yuzu is not “illegal.” Nintendo can abuse DMCA and request GitHub take these down, and GitHub will probably listen, but Nintendo would not be “legally in the right” to do so.

I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about this:

I agree with the sentiment here, but all the technologies mentioned allowed us to ship a working application in a timely manner. I think that should always be the first goal. Now that this is out of the way, we can start looking at improving efficiency, security, resilience etc.

“Security Second” is not good messaging for a project like this.

But I’m glad my comment was hilarious to you.

I don’t need or want replication of my private projects to a peer to peer network. That’s just extra bandwidth to and from my server, and bandwidth can be expensive. I already replicate my code to two different places I control, and that’s enough for me.

I’m not sure who Radicle is for, but I don’t think the casual hobbyist looking to self host something like Forgejo would benefit at all from Radicle.

Loading the source code for Radicle on Radicle also seems fairly slow. It seems this distributed nature comes at a speed tradeoff.

With the whole Yuzu thing going on, I can see some benefit to Radicle for high profile projects that may be subject to a takedown. In that respect, it’s a bit like “Tor for Git.”

I suspect that over time, pirate projects and other blatantly illegal activities will make use of Radicle for anti-takedown reasons. But to me, these two projects solve two different problems, for two different audiences, and are not really comparable.

Edit: There is already enough controversy surrounding Radicle, that, if I were someone looking to host a takedown-resistant, anonymous code repository, I would probably be better served hosting an anonymous Forgejo instance on a set of anonymous Njalla domains and VPSes. The blockchain aspect was already a bit odd, and what I’m now seeing from Radicle does not exactly inspire confidence. I don’t think I’ll ever use this.

The API that FDroid is using has only just come out.

Not true. Android has supported rootless unattended upgrades at a system level since Android 12 (October 4 2021). That was nearly 2 and a half years ago, so it’s been a while.

This is what Neo Store used. F-Droid only just now got around to supporting this with this recent update.

I don’t think they were disagreeing with you, I think they were just trying to say:

You shouldn’t need braces to be vertically aligned if your code is uniformly indented. Then you can easily see what code is paired together just by their indentation level.

Of course this is not always true if you’ve got a bunch of crazy nested indentation pushing things off to the right.

And just like that I learned about a Steam Deck piracy community.

Something something Streisand Effect.

ChickenThoughts is one of the things I miss from Reddit :(

Wow that guy was kinda a dick

This was fixed already, but a new release of Lutris has not been published with the fix included. The exact line in your screenshot was specifically removed in this commit:

https://github.com/lutris/lutris/commit/3b64e70e2a2a4f90e2679b12f9f2bf56cb0a5986

Granted. The house fire subsides and there is no structural damage.

However, the house is now empty. Every belonging or piece of furniture has mysteriously disappeared.

You could only save one thing. You chose your house.

I really thought this was satire until your comment.

Who thought this was a good idea to publish…

No one is calling you a cheapskate. It’s just that when you said this:

its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

…in context, it comes off as “Sync is not necessary to exist, therefore no one should pay him.”

I understand what you mean now, but you worded it terribly.

And by the way, going around in the comments being unnecessarily hostile and calling people “dumbfuck” or “asshole,” when they were just as confused at your poor phrasing, makes you come off as an asshole, so maybe work on that :)

Sync isn’t trying to replace all Lemmy frontends or other FOSS apps, it’s trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

People just find reasons to be upset, I swear.

its not a noble cause to pay some dude who made an app we dont need

Do you think professional independent developers shouldn’t be paid for their work? Do you think this kind of development is effortless?

I don’t understand why people keep parroting this. The app is free. It’s a professionally developed app, where the quality tradeoff is either ads (which can be blocked) or your choice of ad removal payments.

This isn’t some company trying to exploit the community here, this is a full time app developer who just had his livelihood completely cut off. People begged him to make a version for Lemmy, and he did. He deserves to be paid for the hours and work he put in to make it happen. You can’t make an app if you can’t buy food or pay rent.

And if you don’t like that, then don’t use it. He’s never pressured users into paying, and he’s never suggested everyone on Lemmy should just send him money. He isn’t even spamming posts advertising the app, enthusiastic users are.

Why is everyone so upset?

OP is going to be patient zero for a new ant-borne disease

Rough day at work today, OP…?
