I love stux, I have a Mastodon account on one of his instances, and I donate every now and then. he's a good human being, and his cats are supreme.

that being said, I feel like sometimes he's a bit ADHD with his side projects, so he creates one, and then just lets it fizzle out over time while he starts two new ones. goldfish.social was one of them, and it looks like the domain has expired and got bought out by someone else. perhaps it's his way of learning new stuff, or preventing himself on getting burned out or something - whichever it is, I'm not judging, he's never making promises that they're long term commitments anyway. his Masto instances have been solid, on the other hand.

Did you know you can play Doom on a diffusion model now? It’s true, Google just announced it! Just don’t read the paper too closely.

I'm yet to see the app offer an update to the maps data without the app update beforehand. I use it on two devices, and if I don't update the app on one of them, it won't display new map data available to download.

it's probably because you haven't installed Kvantum and enabled the Kvantum theme linked in the theme's description.

yes, that's exactly why public transport other than the subway doesn't show up by default and you have to go an extra mile in order to enable it.

curated list of app name, description, link to github / other git / fdroid rep / download link

so... F-droid?

Have forks of this list that different people can extend and you can subscribe to different trusted curators

so... third party F-droid repos?

https://f-droid.org/en/

there are other apps than can access F-droid and everyone will soon start replying saying why they think their choice is the only reasonable one and everything else is the worst thing ever, but the official one under that link should be enough to get you started.
