Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US
  • Touch capacitance on the stick is a gyro-must for me, so im happy to finally see a controller with this. actually just ordered this from amazon japan, didnt think it would actually get a US release.

  • Here it is, suckas. IPX68 water resistant, MIL-STD-810G certified, and SWAPPABLE BATTERY
  • sent from my Xcover6 Pro.

    Replaced my xcover, which replaced my lg g5. Wish it got more love in the foss OS department. Love all the hardware features but dont love samsung. First party support for a phone like this though is a benefit

  • "We found a vulnerability..."
  • There was and it was fixed by the looks of it. Guessing these apps have not urgently pulled the fixes in and released an update, so F-droid is urging people not to use the apps until so

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • Privating protests definitely had some teeth in the short term, but not in the long term. In the short term, it targeted what Reddit and other social media sites value most: user retention. By privating subreddits, people would be denied access to the content they want (while being served ads), so they'd click off the website. That's why it's gone now. It's sad people are still volunteering their time for the profit of investors. I would, though, argue that privating subreddits was one of the most effective online protestings of recent history

  • What is the best FOSS alarm clock app?
  • I've enjoyed using the Simple Alarm Clock on F-droid, importantly for me, it requires you to hold down the shut off button for a couple seconds which helps prevent me from accidentally shutting off my alarm instead of snoozing it. Only downside for this app and possibly others is that they may not function if your device OS updates in the middle of the night.

  • Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam
  • I seem to be in the unpopular opinion camp with this, but I actually really like it. I am a huge fan of the gyro+stick combo with touch capacitance, and this is the only controller to release with that steam deck touch capacitance feature. Biggest criticism I have for it is the lack of vibration, but im optimistic about this controller

  • Scariest/creepiest production logo?
  • Worse than this, was their logo video for Tony Hawk's Underground, where Eric the rival character gets attacked and pulled into the sewers by the T.H.I.N.G. and gets reduced to bones.

  • Music Players
  • Dont have it in front of me so instructions might be off, but Audacious can load any winamp skin you download, it is available as an option in the customization settings. You might have to drop it into a skins system folder on audacious, but winamp skins are one of the theme options you can pick on audacious. Looks just like winamp but the backend stuff is different (right click menu's, etc.)

  • What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
  • I have had success with the Simple Alarm Clock on F-Droid (not to be confused with the simple mobile tools apps). It has necessary basic features like custom alarms, increasing volume, and dismissing the alarm requires holding down "dismiss" so the chances of accidentally dismissing an alarm instead of snoozing it are much lower. The only time it seemingly failed me was after an overnight android update (samsung), where it didn't work until the phone was unlocked.

  • Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users
  • Legit malware shown in this article. Imagine an operating system/browser injecting what are essentially ads into your webpage. Whether or not chrome or edge are any good these are scummy tactics by microsoft

  • Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?
  • On that note, I bought a GIF viewer app's full version via in-app purchase and about a year later, they updated the app to have ads again regardless and my "full version no ads" app got ads again and now i had to buy a subscription per month to be "ad free" needless to say I uninstalled
