agree. every time Linux games are mentioned in a thread, i always bring up 0AD. great design and soundtrack.

thanks for this suggestion. like one-time-use cards? nice. this is new to me. i will ask my bank if they offer this service.

guess i can just use my credit card details. i trust the devs more than paypal. hahahahaha. i mean, they have done so much good already.

i was thinking of donating to the projects i use a lot - inkscape and kdenlive. thanks for suggesting Monero, which was also suggested by another user. unfortunately, i dont have cryptocurrency. maybe i will just use cc for these donations.

thanks for suggesting Monero, however i dont use cryptocurrency because we are still very cash dependent where im from.

Have considered this but i have not yet started looking up anonymous ways to donate. Suggestions where i could start - eg how to anonymize credit card information online? If not anonymize, minimize personal info at least?

last i used it, it became a slow, resource-hogging, ad-riddled, bloated mess.

i first considered this when maps.me went to shreds. for a while, i used both organic maps and osmand for my cycling trips. the cleaner interface of organic maps won me over. my main gripe at that time was the absence of a route import function. the dev team added that recently. now, i can import both kml and gpx formats.
now, if there is a way to save the in-app planned routes, that would be a huge help.

thanks for this very exhaustive list. this is the first time ive heard of sewer divers - with no PPE - sounds terrible.

that’s the joke, man. that’s the joke!

my first foray with linux was Xubuntu. transferred to MX Linux since but stayed with xfce. looking into having a go with xfce Debian. so satisfied with this DE, am not even tempted to try others.

thank for the suggestion. i tried it. unfortunately, it does not solve the problem. will stick to ddg in the meantime; so no pwas for now.

unfortunately, i dont have iOS 16 so cant use the official Pixelfed beta. been accesing pixelfed via browser (ddg) and it works great. cant access it in safari though.

thanks for the suggestion. i tried it but did not work. they work well with non-native browsers anyway so ill just stay with ddg for now.

thanks, OP. that was such a nice read.
mine is: enjoying a dinner with the woman i loved. we sat beside each other and talked the night away. it was punctuated by laughter and every word just seemed right.
reality is we dont talk anymore.
