Can someone tell me where all the trans FOSS devs/enthusiasts hang out

Damn. Good burn! I wish my legislators would do something good..
Right?!? I find their design to be some of the best I've seen. Even against proprietary software.
True, but complex and probably a tad unrealistic. My old days of using torrents taught me that people don't typically seed.
Ignoring that, if you automatically download torrents and start seeding them many people wouldn't understand them and will have their internet overwhelmed and blame Linux, or Google it and come to the conclusion to "turn off the seeding feature".
Also, Shader Caches get changed/updated CONSTANTLY. When I first got my Steam Deck, I was getting Shader Caches updates every time I turned it on for nearly every game. That has slowed down a lot but torrents specifically wouldn't be the best solution for something that changes frequently. You can re-check so that you can just only download new caches with the latest torrent. But the re-check can be computationally expensive as well.
Idk the answer and I love the idea of P2P. But, we'd have to be careful to implement it well.
I didn't know that existed. I just downloaded the app that, whatever podcast I was watching at the time, suggested. Thanks!
A program will not fix it. The problem is shader caches need to be stored. Storage costs money. Who is going to pay to store all of them?
Maybe it could be like a P2P system but that would add a whole lot of complexity!
Does AntennaPod do podcasting 2.0?
Weird, but I found it a super interesting read. It made me think of Home Assistant as one of the only software that I could think of that uses a toggle button from the top of my head. I think it handles these states wonderfully.
Edit: The big one I rarely see. But, either one seems quite intuitive.
Yeah. Good point. The problem I see with that is that SOMEONE has to store the shader caches that you download. With some games, it's megabytes and some games it's gigabytes. Also, the shaders are different for different hardware configurations. Who is going to not only store, but share all of this data when only a small portion of people donate to FOSS? Steam, gets a portion of the sale, and moving people to Linux is a far sight goal that they are monetarily incentivized to help towards.
Yep! It all comes down to your attack surface and how paranoid you want to be.
Hey, you can get lucky too!!
