Amazing resource! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sympathetic to your idea of calling it OSS or Open Software. But Richard Stallman and people who agree with his arguments really stress the "freedom" of what they call free software. They lost that battle ages ago, but they aren't going to give it up since it's more than just pedantry, it's a value statement.

I started buying my e-books on the Kobo store for this reason as I don't want to support Amazon. Kobo books have the added benefit of making it easy to strip the DRM. You can see a guide here: https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader

I enjoyed the original too. Not sure what it had to do with the new one though. The tone and gameplay were totally different.

I hated Prey 2017. Everyone raves about it, but the storyline was very predictable and cliche and the combat was just atrocious.

Same here! Lame story and the combat felt terrible.

It will, but a lot of these immigrants are going to struggle to get housing and good jobs and some of them may even leave to greener pastures.

I loved seeing those IAMAs too. Schwarzenegger, Obama, NASA scientists and Woody Harrelson (can we talk about Rampart?)! Unfortunately I think the web is worse now, far too much focus on monetization, bots, propaganda> and astroturfing.

I'm hoping that Lemmy flies under the radar in the sweet spot of enough subscribers but not too many.

Seeing your post my first thought was that multi-image albums always worked on old.Reddit. But actually I was thinking of a Reddit Enhancement Suite feature. Which is another open-source toolkit that was provided by the community to Reddit.

Happy to see that the Open Source came up with something top-to-bottom like Lemmy and the Fediverse!
