Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”
This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.
Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.
It’s worth mentioning you can manually kick off an index build with I believe updatedb (in most cases).
Perhaps a model like itch.io offers. Each product can set a price or have a “pay what you want” model. I feel some would be more likely to give money if it’s right up front.
But the biggest part that I think we need, is a centralized location, store or not. Sometimes it’s hard to find if an open source alternative even exists because it could be on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc.
Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.
You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.
I mean, why not self host an instance of git like forgejo?

Am I dumb or is there not a way to share a link directly from F-Droid?
I try the share button, but it tries to share the .apk file.
This is what I use and I almost forgot that I’m even using it until I saw this post.
Edit: It’s on F-Droid but I don’t know how to share the link directly to it on there.
Man… I initially read that as
can’t be fucked with capitalism
and I was thoroughly confused.
99% of the time, it’s my browser, so I ended up writing a script that watches memory used. If it reaches 95%, it throws a warning, and 98% force kills my browser. I’d rather that happen than my entire system lock up and have to hard reboot.
I downloaded it but I’ll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn’t able to do.
I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it’s called) at the bottom of the screen.
It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn’t work.
I’m still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can’t use it yet.
Edit: looks like it’s already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.
Just curious, how do you host it? Do you have it containerized or no?
At my last job, we used iperf a lot for internal speed tests and we used to wonder if there were public iperf servers to test against.
I’m not sure how secure that’d be or if that would even be worth it, but it was an interesting thought.
I actually have one of the USB A cables above from an old android tablet that had 2 full USB A ports on the side.
One was always a slave/device port while the other actually had a physical switch to change from Host to Device.
That used to be my mobile media tablet. I could cast wirelessly or steam directly from the mini HDMI port. Such an awesome device for how cheap it was.
It’s also possible they create and upload the same content in both locations but have to target the larger YouTube demographic via clickbait thumbnails.
Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.
