As save-games and configs of my GOG Linux games are normally(!) outside of the installation folders (found them in my home-folder, under .local or .config), I simply install such new version .sh file into the same locations (overwriting the existing installation). But I do not know for sure, if this is the best solution in all cases.

Anyway you can easily try it by yourself after backing up your game-folder (simply zip it). This way you will not lose anything if overwriting game files will mess something up.

EDIT: maybe it is worth finding the save-game/config folder and back it up, too. Just in case the new version messes with config files.

Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.

But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

Thank you very much =)

It looks nice and the wallpaper is great. Would you mind sharing a source for it?

No need to trust in science for the smarter 43% when god invented power plants, climate-machine, cars, guns and the internet. \s

This is really nice, thanks for sharing 👍

Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting Mull and Mulch. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.

Here are some links to start from:

• DivestOS website with information about their apps: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps
• Mull directly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
• Mulch only from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!

I really liked the Bromite browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite release is from Dec 2022.

From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.

Definitely dislike MS, generations of my workstations have small, yellow “Microsoft Free Workstation” stickers on their monitors, but VSCodium (in my case) is not really bad.

Also I really like the Xbox360 console and (as a hacker and maker) still love the first Kinnect. The Kinnect is an excellent piece of sensor-hardware, was rather cheap when purchased in used condition and it works very well with Linux.

… and it even runs Doom: POOM - A Doom port running on the PICO-8

It is never too* late to learn and correct what we hold for true. I like the idea behind this website. Thanks for sharing.

*EDIT: learned & corrected to to too.

Several of the items hit the nail for me (German), too.

May Organic Maps Offline Hike, Bike, GPS Navigation be something for you? (found in https://feddit.de/post/3646471)

The German Feddit was down for quite a while, but if this counts for 200 servers I do not know.

Thank you very much for sharing 🙂

You can start with The Uber files, which “is a global investigation into a trove of 124,000 confidential documents from the tech company that were leaked to the Guardian.”

Summary

Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals

Some examples:

• The cache of more than 124,000 internal Uber files lays bare the ethically questionable practices through which the company barged its way into new markets, often where existing laws or regulations made its operations illegal, before lobbying aggressively for those same laws or regulations to be altered to accommodate it. Read here
• Senior executives at Uber ordered the use of a “kill switch” to prevent police and regulators from accessing sensitive data during raids on its offices in at least six countries. Read here
• Two of Barack Obama’s most senior presidential campaign advisers, David Plouffe and Jim Messina, discussed helping Uber get to access leaders, officials and diplomats. Read here
• At least six UK government ministers, including the then chancellor, George Osborne, and the future health secretary Matt Hancock, did not declare secret meetings at which they were lobbied by Uber. Read here
• The inside story of how Uber used its connections to the Conservative party to lobby Boris Johnson in a rearguard effort to stop Transport for London introducing new regulations. Read here
• One of Uber’s top executives quit amid questions for the company about whether its European operations were structured in a way that avoided tax. Read here
• Uber secretly hired a political operative linked to Russian oligarchs allegedly aligned with Vladimir Putin in an attempt to secure its place in the Russian market, despite internal bribery concerns. Read here

Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.

As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.

Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

Thank you very much for sharing, this page is really great!
