Wherever the app’s code is on. I usually go around finding the link in the store page or through the search engine. Most of the time, they end up on GitHub and GitLab, sometimes on Codeberg or other instance.

Paranoid section ahead: Don’t blindly trust the issues list, closed or open, because there are still ways to permanently delete those, hence giving bad actor a way to hide evidence of the on-going security problem.

I look at the latest release date. At leisure time, I would also go and check repository and issue tracker to see whether something serious is being ignored. If it’s crucial for business, I would spare time investigating the source code itself.

I would not necessarily say that many apps uploaded to F-Droid and other repositories are unsafe, because I don’t have all that energy to audit anything I use. What helps me to stay on the safe side is reading into things - enclosed descriptions and names may look like a small factor to some, once they tread the sources, but it saves me both the time and trouble. Sloppily written stuff usually implies a sloppy code, a lax attention to details on the developer’s side.

I really appreciate that this game has movement from keyboard. Saved me a bunch of clicking and the experience was nice!

Fun characters and worldbuilding. Doing these quests felt very true to the plot, everything looks internalized and, in some places, eye-opening. Little foreshadowing here and there: Domino’s lax attitude, Olivia’s final poem, blooming in the morgue, etc.

I even got hands on some early storyboard, where there were plans to do final locations more grand and the myrriad of possibilities that could come out of it, but I still like how it turned out despite some rethinking and cutting. For me, the ending section was fittingly grim.

Wow, that’s quite useful.

I definitely remember seeing someone on YouTube sewing after using some built-in Inkscape extension to optimize route and color switches. It was pretty surprising to find such tutorials.

In my case, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is required by xdg-desktop-portal, which in turn is required by flatpak. I wonder what effect will removing have on apps?

I don’t if, but soooo much crashes surely should trigger some response in people, especially when they go out of their way to work on some “real time” codebase, tasks requiring even a pinch of synchronization.

If you have strategically real time collaboration, I would advise against pushing to GitHub and find a way to self-host or use another instance.

Sometimes, I can’t help but to put GitHub to the side when we speak open source. Not saying that it’s a wrong place to ask, it’s just that with GitHub, as with many centralized platforms with many users to catch up to, outages are not all that nuanced. We’ve been through much of them: GitHub, GitLab, almost the same difference.

It is rare that everything app like this has a source code available to public. I’m immediately hooked, as someone who can’t wrap his head around making custom views in Obsidian and its open source alternatives. (For the love of Pete, frontmatters are just too demanding on syntax department!) Fork, stat! 😃

License doesn’t seem to step on your toes as long as you don’t distribute Anytype in exchange for something (w/ or w/o modifications).

Thom Zane has pointed out that Anytype’s license has a non-commercial clause. Well, I think it’s only natural for an EVERYTHING app. Just the thought of it being sublicensed and changed in many ways to being sold as an “exclusive” app, it doesn’t leave my mind. There’s just a problem with differentiating if something is commercial or not sometimes.

Obviously, it doesn’t fit the “open source” criteria, but it doesn’t need to be - if you only want to change source code in few places and not offer it in exchange for something.

Previous owner of Godot Community Forums got burned out and didn’t curate the first month of co-owning this platform - here we have a clear-cut case study against prematurely transferring ownership. One could look at it and think that Cybereality took over the forums only to sabotage them in a few weeks. But it might be a rather spontaneous product of zir heated discussion and disagreement with Juan, so I’d write this off to a “happy” coincidence. Cybereality already explained it’s about confusion around allegedly broken promises with W4 and Godot Foundation.

Looking at the bigger picture, it’s a case study of problems with centralization of community in confines of something close to walled garden, around the project that is supposed to be as open as a vocabulary. More the reason to raise awareness of Lemmy communities, Matrix Public Archive, etc.
