Usually projects on github. Personally I use Appimages for things like Mypaint a digital drawing application, krita and most other KDE applications as to avoid all the dependency's KDE has in its eco system or at least to put them somewhere easier to manage

Its a massive industry problem where code is so much more heavier where devs are reliant on brut hardware force rather than refining code to be light.

Not boomer sentiment at all

Interesting read, love stuff like this but it seems they'd be a lot of dev overhead to truly make something large and agnostic but still gotta commend it!

You'll have ask the question of how important is this data, then before you start run drive diagnostic tool to see if all are functioning as expected, I'd suggest moving directories aposed to chopping anything up as to maintain some form of redundancy if a drive were to fail. It'll be a long process. Hope it goes well

Resync is a handy tool

Another reason to pirate

Also if the government do feel the need to "help" parents and the larger social fabric then why not put money into civil dutys classes in schools. Teach kid how to grow into normal adults, the trickle down would be much greater than these half baked ducktape tactics

I hate my country and the old cunts who are clueless on what they're allowing. The old adage "you can get the toothpaste out, you can't put it back."

Ive seen MS is having to do a lot of work in regards to pro privacy due to EU regulation, I switched on my oculus quest which I keep offline and questioned if enforced account, locked in applications that serve beyond base functions and the locked down setting, surely all this goes against privacy laws in some way.

Is this something regulators and Facebook will address or will fb slide through the cracks?

Could be big. Love wine but even games with native release for Linux have wine reliance

Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?

A lot of free and open source products are in fact funded through grants or corpates
