Celeste deeply impacted me. It immediately turned to be one of my favorite games of all time, even if I suck so badly at it (still hasn't been able to beat the post-game content lol).

I use one of the beautiful official phone wallpapers (the pixelated one) available on the EXOK Games website. Highly recommend them!

Sou brasileiro, e apoio muito o estudo do português. É uma língua rica, complexa e linda. Para mim, não há obras literárias iguais aos clássicos brasileiros e portugueses, especialmente quanto ao belíssimo uso da língua portuguesa.

Amo Machado de Assis e recomendo muito as suas obras que, além de mostrarem a beleza do português, continuam intrigantes e divertidas. Também recomendo as obras de Fernando Pessoa, caso opte por um escritor português.

I strongly disagree. Multiple times I've been playing a game and a friend saw my Discord status and chatted with me about it. It's just another way for my friends to see my interests, nothing new on the internet.

Would I want this status to be displayed somewhere else (especially a more FOSSy place)? Hell yeah. But there isn't any, and the people that rarely talk to me and are into gaming, aren't, unfortunately, on anywhere else but Discord.

I've downloaded and tested it for a bit and it does look a bit too good to be true. The source code is licensed under AGPL, and the F-Droid app page didn't show any anti-features. And I also really liked the app itself.

However, while it does enable self-host of the same data (and it's pretty easy too. you can even self-host from your phone! I wish more note apps did this) and manual exporting/importing, the cloud syncing (even to a third-party server of your choice) is locked behind a paywall. While I do understand paying for a service to save my data, it does bother me that I can't sync with my own servers, which should not require any service from their part.

The app also includes a login feature that lets you use a specific text-oriented Chinese social media (that also seems to be fully open source and AGPL licensed!). Honestly, I wouldn't be bothered by it especially since it's opt-in, and doesn't seem to do anything with your notes unless logged-in. Though I don't know how self-hostable it is, and even if it were, the app does not give me the option to enter my own server.

And to top it all off, it has a bullshit AI feature (that seems opt-in). I don't think I need to explain why this is very icky.

Considering everything, it seems like an awesome app for people that use the specific social media it is optionally coupled with. But anyone that doesn't and prefers to sync your data to a self-hosted server will be left without options. Also, you must consider that it apparently doesn't seem to phone home, according to F-Droid, though it is very strange that the network, social media, and especially AI features are not mentioned at all as anti-features. So if you would want to be sure, I'd recommend you to read the source code and deduce yourself if it doesn't phone anywhere you haven't allowed to by default.

I personally wouldn't use it myself, but if you trust it doesn't phone home, don't care about manually exporting and importing your data, and isn't bothered by the weird network features, I'd say it's a great notes app.

I'm glad that they chose the AGPL when open-sourcing their server. I don't see that many companies, especially ones offering a "product", open-sourcing their work with a copyleft license.

OSM is such a badass project

weird. for me, the "hard engine and framework stuff" is the fun part, while the content creation is not boring, but just very hard for me :P

Celeste screenshots, because every scenario in that game is beautiful. And it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Here is my favorite one:

codeberg is great! the community there seems to be interested in growing the platform and developing tools as useful as those on GitLab/GitHub.
