Fascinated with stuff related to free software, modularity/decentralization, gaming, pixel art, sci-fi, cooking, anti-car-dependency, hardcore techno and breakcore

Games originating in modding communities:
Games that are also sold on app stores, steam etc:
Games that are around for quite some time or gained quite a community around it at some point:
Open sourced commercial games:
Though for those who are more engines (SpringRTS and minetest) the quality really depends on the mods you are playing.
Some stuff I just found and never played myself:
Open sourced commercial games:
Assets are unfree but freely accessible:
I’m not sure about whether these games got 100% FLOSSed or still require bought assets:
A special case because these use CC BY-NC-SA even for source code, which is effectively unfree. They are ports of older Mac games, but most are 3D:
The “problem” with the open source game landscape is, that a lot of games are either focused on multiplayer or have randomly generated worlds, because that developers can play that too. There are games with single player story line, I think open sourced commercial games are doing a bit better with this. Commercial open source games that are open source from the beginning are a newer development.
I didn’t notice any apps yet and I definitely don’t use any kind of ad blocking.
It doesn’t look like that’s open source in any way.
You can't put TDM and Ashes in a repo of a commercial Linux distribution.
No. Privacy alone is hard and tricky. ICANN doesn't really allow privacy. Though NICs located within the EU protect your privacy since they have to comply with GDPR. ICANN tolerates that they break their rules and works on rew rules that allow to comply with GDPR. ICANN requires your mail address, phone number and email address to be publicly available via whois. You don't offially own the domain when a registrar offers private registration where they put there their own contact data.
Pixelfed is a thing, though images don't have to be openly licensed.
I just found openverse, but it's a fundamentally different thing. It's a crawler and search for openly licensed images, but it doesn't host itself. Depending on your usecase that can be an alternative. It has a link to the original site for downloading the pic, but tools like gallery-dl should be able to download it at that point. That means you should be able to find and download images without ever interacting with a proprietary frontend. (didn't try it)
What is SCP?
That depends a lot on what version of MS Paint you want to replace.
For the old pixely version there is a clone: https://github.com/1j01/jspaint
A good alternative for that old pixel paint is https://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/, which focus is mostly pixelart and having a simple interface. It’s not as extreme and complex as http://grafx2.chez.com/
Dunno, a lot of it is too easy to vandalize
The kickoff meeting for Vulkan was hosted by Valve. Like everything it’s not only Valve, but they had their fingers in this too. Valve is just one of the companies/groups that is pushing linux ports and vulkan support.
Valve is mostly moving interests of big game companies with steam machines and steam deck. Steam machines flopped, but initially they made companies consider ports. The success of steam deck will likely result into them paying more attention to not break wine/proton.
No … my alts always have different names. But they are for things I don’t want others to know.
I didn’t mean communities with the same name on different instances, but active communities with related topics.
A bit of a stretch would be music genres linking to each other, open source games linking each other etc.
But more specifically closely related communities !ich_iel@feddit.de and !hessisch_iel@feddit.de (dialect variation of the former) or !me_irl@lemmy.ml, !ich_iel@feddit.de, !ik_ihe@feddit.nl, !eu_nvr@lemmy.eco.br and other translations linking each other. Or !minetest@lemmy.ml and !mineclone2@lemmy.world (game/mod of the former) linking each other.
Example screenshot with sidebar of r/meirl, which isn’t r/me_irl:
I buy everything neutral/sensitive or pomegranate. I just noticed my body wash brand also has a “for men”, it’s fragranced like the rest but is the only one that refuses to tell what it smells like.
The all uppercase handles don’t seem to work in lemmy:
In the mean time EU will require systems that automatically do emergency breaks and also different signaling for emergency breaks.
