But are they on Mastodon? This is a very important factor for my purchasing decision.

And we're on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s

There are tons of people who have still never heard of GOG. This really is a necessary advertisement campaign.

It was actually downvoted because the screenshot isn't mobile-friendly. /s

The developers of Heroic are in regular contact with GOG employees, and they also get a cut from any GOG purchase made through the Heroic client.

How do you follow someone you discovered while browsing a foreign instance?

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 1 points 6 months ago

The end result is still part of GOG's revenue going toward the development of Heroic.

It doesn't meet your high standard and that's okay. I prefer to count my blessings in this regard.

GOG is funding the FOSS Heroic Games Launcher through an affiliate partnership: https://heroicgameslauncher.com/donate

You legally didn't "own" your physical games either if you haven't noticed.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 8 points 6 months ago

It's not legally binding, since it isn't part of the user agreement you review when buying games on Steam.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 3 points 6 months ago

When have they not had the full package on GOG?

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There really is no difference. For almost all intents and purposes, GOG's offline installers can be treated the same way as physical CDs of way back then, with one of the only exceptions being that you cannot resell them.

The end goal of this proposal is to build interoperability features into GitLab so that it’s possible on one instance of GitLab to open a merge request to a project hosted on an other instance, merging all willing instances in a global network.

To achieve that, we propose to use ActivityPub, the w3c standard used by the Fediverse. This will allow us to build upon a robust and battle-tested protocol, and it will open GitLab to a wider community.

I've been using Kagi for a while and it's nice to see them embrace the Threadiverse.

 

Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

  • Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
  • "Lenses", which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
  • All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type "!yt" in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
  • Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi's capabilities.
