If you use the barebones one, then you're actually using Arch ๐Ÿ˜‰

Awesome!

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense ๐Ÿ˜‰

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

Nice, we don't encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You live in a climate that's not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it's nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

I get that but it still sounds awesome ๐Ÿ˜‰ Of course Gitea federating with other Gitea (or Forgejo) instances would be awesome and make it a right candidate to host another fediverse project.

We also hope to migrate development to Gitea once federation is implemented.

That is awesome to hear! Lemmy federating with the code forge it's hosted on sounds awesome!

Uh reading your third link, no they are not reluctant to discuss it. That whole discussion sadly was about how the original "proposal" was framed, and I have to agree with that person that it wasn't "proposed" but more stated as a demand.

Without telling us what distro you're using, nobody can help you. Also social media is not the right place to post it, report it to your distribution instead.

Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don't have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it'll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

Huh I actually like the GE, way better than spam chatting in a city square somewhere ๐Ÿคท

Howโ€™s this related to the original game? As in licensing issues?

Idk about 2006scape, but I can tell about 2009scape.org. The server is fully FOSS and AGPL-3.0 licensed. No code from the original game is present, it's all rebuild.

The client is different and a bit more difficult, there is a project that's decompiling and deobfuscating the original client from around that time. It's not FOSS because it can't be, it's not their code to relicense, they don't own it. However it existing makes it possible for an alternative fully FOSS client to be created, as the internal workings of the original client is then known and documentation can be written about it. That way the new client developers can develop the new client without having to look at the original code, they just have to look at the documentation written based on that original code.

An alternative client like that hasn't been developer so far though sadly, I believe the community is more focused currently on the server-side and deobfuscating the original client.

Huh, so this is like 2009scape.org but for 2006? Interesting, I wonder which project is further along. I personally prefer the 2009 era at least so I don't think I'll play this.

 

[email protected] , please join and help it make more awesome and bigger than the Reddit one :winking face:

I'm one of the core pmOS devs and although the other core devs aren't Lemmy users yet, I'll make sure to hang around, answer questions, moderate, etc.

For the people that don't know about postmarketOS yet:

postmarketOS is a real Linux distribution for phones. We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

Have a look at our website and join us on Matrix!
