There's no reason to trust random APKs for stuff like this anymore when Revanced exists to let you build the APK yourself right on your phone with only the patches you want. Highly recommend!

I would argue UE5 enables and encourages bad development practices that lead to the unoptimized mess that "modern graphics" games are right now. Their work is cool, but so many games rely on temporal aliasing for in-game effects now, and UE5 is the common denominator.

Steam and GOG have a strong history and userbase. 0% commission is nice, but Steam in particular offers a world of more value than Epic Games Store, including but not limited to a usable fucking user interface (I use Rare to play my EGS library because it's so bad).

Steam games are DRM free unless you consider Steam itself a form of DRM. DRM is implemented by the developers of the game, not by the marketplace it's sold on.

And I find it strange that you think GOG has a better business model than Steam and will be more competitive long-term. Why do you think so?

Never heard of bin but this is cool as hell thanks for shouting it out!

I checked the source and I can't find their full report or even their methodology.

Wino Mail is the closest drop-in replacement I've found for the old Windows 10 Mail app. It feels pretty similar.

Am I mistaken that docker creates temporary volumes with a nondescript name and you can potentially dig up the volumes that were being used in /var/lib/docker/volumes?

I imagine Microsoft has the same problem as Google, which is internally prioritizing flashy new things over maintaining useful old things. That's why Google comes out with so many new things and kills so many old things.

If you want a raise/promotion/etc., you have a better shot at it by bragging about the new feature/service you launched than bragging about maintaining the relatively stable project that's been running for years but could use some improvements.

It's a really bad structure imo and I hate that Google and other companies prioritize like that :/

My server pc is just my old computer parts. Ryzen 3 2200G with with 6Gb of RAM. It gets the job done!

No clue, but you can selfhost it! So even if you don't like the official Revolt instance, you can spin up your own for you and your friends and not worry about it!

It's not a full replacement for Discord, but it's working towards that. If you just want a basic server for yourself and friends with emotes and voice chats, Revolt works. If you want polls, events, threads, forums, etc., it can't replace your setup. I think the goal is to be a full Discord replacement in the future, but it's still a work in progress (such is often the case with FOSS software maintained by hobbyists).
