dconf can also be configured with text files (with a format similar to ‘.ini’ files), although enabling this support isn’t trivial, and it’s not the most well documented feature.
I also used to run a ”lobotomized” Gnome, but TBH I found it easier in the long run to start from a minimal base.
Fuck Gary Bowser and Team Xecuter in general, he doesn’t deserve the punishment he got but I feel no sympathy for him.
Read up on how they stole GPL’d code from other Switch hackers for their closed source SX OS, and then had the fucking nerve to charge for it.
Piracy is one thing, but what they did hurt the Switch hacking scene, for their own profit.
I didn’t mean “dictate” literally, but whatever, I agree with everything you wrote pretty much.
I mostly went into this discussion in the first place because I was annoyed that like half the replies were about the name and not the software - when the name really isn’t that extreme. But at this point I’m part of the problem, so I’ll stop now.
I’m actually not European (I mentioned it because others did in this thread, I think the developers are?).
In any case, I do “get the gist” but I disagree with it - why should the mainstream culture of a foreign country dictate what I can or can’t say (or name my project)?
And even if I did agree with you on that point, I would disagree with applying that logic to a term like “crackpipe” which isn’t considered a slur at all.
If you think the name is offensive, don’t use it. Once again, this project is a server for hosting pirated games, it’s not like they need to be advertiser friendly or whatever.
“Amateurish”? This is literally a server for hosting pirated games, who gives a fuck.
Also, if your first thought after reading the word crackpipe is black people, maybe you’re the racist one.
And even if in the US it does have this connotation (IDK I’m not American), why should Europeans care?
Email became mostly centralized without any company buying thousands of independent email servers.
The same could (and probably will) happen with other federated services.
Yeah good luck meaningfully using a Lemmy instance with barely any users.
There’s a reason both Lemmy and Mastodon only really started taking off when the equivalent proprietary platforms drove users away - a service like this needs users to create content.
Also the guy you’re replying to is right, stuff like this already happened in the past; look at the centralization of email (which is also federated) for example.
SX OS has anti-piracy measures in place which literally brick your switch.
