The Archiving group The-Eye did actually made a back up of the Archive torrents. https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/archive.org_dumps/torrents/ They have a text file listing the file list of all the collexted torrents. It’s a text file. That they had to compress. And it’s still around 800Mo big just for that one.

https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-mirror They’ve been supporting dweb solutions for years. Evn if they haven’t enabled back their public dweb.archive.org portal.

My bad. Yep, you are correct. I thought the GPL actually prevented you to sell compiled version of a GPL FOSS software (Outside of the original maintainer) but it seems it isn’t compared to this one which force you to keep it free. There’s also limitations on what you can remove so yep. Non-free. Seemed a bit Counter-intuitive to me in the first part. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.en.html

I should probably suggest the GNU Foundation to check this license to compare it, as I often see question of FUTO software license online.

Not in the usual sense, because you can still fully fork it, use it, modify it and redistribute it freely like a FOSS software.

You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

The only limitation which make it non-free is :

Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

I don’t really understand if it “prevent you” to remove and/or prevent the modification of the donation to FUTO part of the code. Should not prevent you from adding yours on top of it (As in, adding a prompt as in "If you want to do donate to the project, you can donate to the original app owner (DONATE TO FUTO) or the maintainer of the fork you are using (DONATE TO THE MAINTAINER).) And the obvious limitation of making derivative work of it, non-free of course.

Also, they do reserve themselves rights to abrodge the license for those who abridge it, which i don’t know how legally useful it may be, for license violations compared to protecting the GPL licenses from violations for example.

tl;dr : Seems FOSS to me, as long as :

• You don’t try to make it non-free
• You don’t remove the donation to FUTO part of the app

Actually, you were right. The issue for me is that the original k9-mail repo did also released the current beta thunderbird version (and i think, one with still the k9 branding if needed). I was trying to switch to it via that repo, and didn’t noticed the thunderbird fork listed the in the repo. There’s no changes, outside of the releases only being thunderbird branded outside of all the previous k9-mail ones. If you were on k-9 mail, and want to switch to it on Obtainium, manually install the new version and mugrate your settings to it. And once it’s all done, remove the k9-mail repo from Obtainium, and add that thunderbird one.

Speaking off, I’m still having issues adding it, since it still get confused by the k9 original repo origin, even if i try to filter the pre-release .apk’s with the thunderbird name. My bad, still kept the k9-mail repo instead of the thunderbird fork.

Just not necessarily FOSS. The code is available and open to a certain limit. Not free however.

Mint is a good choice ! They have a decent help forum where you could ask for such help. Like this one for example. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=228884 Feel free to give more details here too, maybe i, or someone else here could help you with your specific Mac problem.

You’ll get plenty of answers with different suggestions, so I’ll suggest checking in that community for plenty of previous answers. I would say to stick with “main” known distribution and to ditch specialized ones. https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Single-Maintainer https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Distros

I’m on Nobara but despite the fantastic work of GloriousEggRoll, it did had it’s lot of breakage which made me want to switch to the suggested uBlue Fedora atomic builds, per those criterias.

Yes.

That game use Battle-eye btw.

Yep, and Google own employees are forbidden to protest of that project, if they wish to keep their job.

Excuse me, what. What is your reasoning behind that question ?

You can. It just show you everything that need additional info. You can just choose to move the map to the shop you want to edit hours and do that. You can also filter the StreetComplete missions in the settings if you want to only update business hours and description.

Exactly that. Each instances has it’s own rules and as such, you can make your own on your own instance. Just don’t be surprised that some instances block you for not abliging to their standards, as they also control their own federation, like each individual instances.

First. Let me explain some bits about the Play Store. You are using the Google Play store, so of course, it stores the list of installed apps on your Google account. That’s fairly obvious. However, the relation with the apps generally end there. Some apps might have Google account integration (Google Games for example, or just as a login method) but not more than that. There’s also potential Google ads and Crashalytics, but it ain’t “directly” connected to your Google account (It link your device through an unique ID, which Google could correlate with your logged Google account on this device)

That out of the way :

• ProtonMail android app doesn’t use any of those Google stuff in it.
• You can download their app separately of the Google Play Store. Throught their website, source-code release or F-Droid (Depending of their project. Proton isn’t consistency with those)
• ProtonMail don’t care about your Google account, outside of importing your emails into your new Protonnail account if you choose to do so.

Also, there is still a privacy gain, from using an email address from Protonmail, but only when you use it. It is just a better and more private e-mail provider. If you keep using a Gmail and Outlook email, than you will still issues with those emails addresses be used and read, for ads and analytics.

Do note you can use your protonmail address on your Google and Microsoft account. Those services just tend to automatically create an email account on their respectice services by default (Gmail & Outlook) but they aren’t required.

Have you looked at the community you are referring to? Ain’t FOSS. Instead, I would suggest https://removerized.tech/ (Locally in your browser AND hostable, under GPL-3) https://github.com/yossTheDev/removerized Or rembg https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg

• Download and Install Fallout 4, from Steam or GOG
• Downgrade the game using their own Downgrader tool https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/1 Source and latest binaries here : https://github.com/Fallout-London/FOLON-FO4Downgrader A bit in panic at the moment, you may need to compile it yourself to fix some openssl version issues or to make it launch on Wayland. Consult the Issues tab on GitHub for common fixes.

(You can also downgrade manually, instructions at the bottom of the page. https://fallout4london.com/release/ There’s also instructions on how to manually install the mod if you are having issues with the GOG Installer, there’s ways to extract the raw files from GOG installer executables)

• Download and Install Fallout London. And select the correct game folder as asked.
• ???
• Profit ! (I’m installing it too at that moment on a Nobara(Fedora) machine. Will tell you if i had to do more than said.)

Maybe you would be interested into maintaining Gradience instead of making a new LibAdwaita theming app from scratch ? Just thinking, haven’t tested it but I don’t see any straight reasons for one over the other outside the maintainership. https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience

They don’t. They rely entirely on donations (and sponsorship donations). It also mean, they have less resources to maintain and develop their software, ESPECIALLY Conqueror since it’s not as much well-maintained compared to other parts of the KDE software suite. Plus, Firefox do maintain their own web-engine, while KDE just use the WebKit one, so even more reasons that Firefox can’t substain with the resources KDE currently has.
