There is none yet that I know of.
But I think something has to be said as well: the problem with copying to the T the most popular social networks is that those are designed to be deliberately predatory and addictive, many parts of their design is implemented in alternatives without even thinking what it really means for the users, because it has become second nature to us and they also feel good, but are mostly detrimental exactly for that and I’m the first to say that I keep falling for it, spending hours on end on my phone. Think infinite scrolling, instant notifications, etc.
While it’s good to have the option, if we want a healthier social media experience, it doesn’t suffice to decentralize it, we also need to think of at least better defaults, then let the users decide for themselves if they want a more addicting experience
Yarrr, fellow pirates! We are excited to announce that the c/Piracy Wiki and Megathread have recently been ported over to the new “Wiki by Zero” hosted at wiki.dbzer0.com....
On that note, it’d be awesome to have an art contest for the various pieces of branding for Piracy, I think some community involvement like that could be fun
Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I’m very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It’s not because I’m not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I’m not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).
The binary is in the releases (e.g. Flatpak version), I guess you’ll have to update manually though, since they don’t have a Flatpak repository of their own that you can add
That you get through the launcher, of course it’s not hosted on GitHub, you can download several different versions of Minecraft from it, there’s no trouble with that.
I never wondered how they get them exactly, but I think it might be a direct download from the official sources and then some patches applied after the fact to “crack” it (do note I could be totally off on this one).
You also get mod support with it, I instantly got the gamepad mod for example and it’s all been working flawlessly, though the documentation could use some work, it was quite confusing to me.
In terms of privacy, nothing would change, it’s still the same as ever so I think the recommendation can absolutely stay up, even proprietary apps are suggested on Privacy Guides.
In terms of software freedom, this is a terrible change and I really dislike projects moving to source-available models, in this case, as the other commenters said there, I don’t even think it’s legal, unless every contributor has signed a CLA in the past.
I feel for not wanting to be explioted by corporate, but they could have gone the dual licensing path and instead chose to restrict everyone’s freedom, even us users. Now that doesn’t mean forks can’t be made I believe, it’s just that anyone who does that, won’t ever be able to sell the service which could be unsustainable since they made the server CC-BY-NC-SA, that’s a big turn off for those who want to host that
Yet another reminder that GitHub is not your friend, but also that borderline projects shouldn’t be hosted on anyone else’s server other than your own, you’ll possess all the repository data, but you’ll also be made to shut down anyway if on the clearnet, so I wonder if it’s possible to host a forge through Tor/i2p or others.
Still, this is clearly wrong on who sent the DMCA, the apps never host the content, I hope they can get back up.
