OhYeah

Personally I think it'd be super cool to see some platform independent handhelds rather than something like a gog deck or an epic deck. I've fankensteined SteamOS to be that way but it def still prioritizes steam which ain't great

Did purism treat coreboot devs bad? I remember the whole malibal thing but don't remember anything with purism

Is there any open source app on android that supports rcs?

Yes, you install them through desktop mode then load them into steam as a non steam game. Then they'll show up in game mode. There's also a decky plugin that easily lets you add artwork for the steam entry

Only thing I know of is the lead dev has a mastodon account (dansup) where he's pretty active

Loops is new and still in beta. The dev has said that he wants to wait to open source it until he feels it's current state is ready to be on other people's servers (once it reaches 1.0). I can't say I agree with the thought process but at least with pixelfed he did the same process and actually followed through on federation and open sourcing

Organic maps is the goat, looking forward to their linux build becoming more stable

Whether or not it is on gog doesn't really impact how easy it is to pirate. For me it's almost like streaming where the convenience is so high that I'd rather just pay on gog and get the perks that come with that then look elsewhere.

Current nixos user and it seems to me to have stabilized a good bit. I know that the nixos foundation held their first elections for the steering community. Also they recently released their new stable 24.11 version that seemed to go smoothly.

It is not back to where it was in terms of dev trust but there is good progress, and my software still gets updated so I have stuck with it

This is the initial release of their beta, I would've been very surprised if it had upload capabilities

I switched from rimusic to innertune and have been happy
