I’m not downvoting, but the fact that kernel malware games don’t work is a feature to me. It would be a full time job to keep from installing anything that demands obscene access for no legitimate reason on Windows. “It doesn’t work” is way easier.
Pretty much everything else on Steam works without effort.
You pretty clearly don’t know what a call to action is, or an ad is, because “please give money” is very obviously a call to action, and many ads make no effort whatsoever to sell any product.
Yes. It is literally impossible for an organization asking for money not to be an ad.
And yes, showing me a single ad once means I never give them money again. I am not OK with ads.
Yes, it is an ad. Any call to action is an ad.
And its mere presence will ensure I don’t give them any more money. The core concept of inserting any ad in an OS is not behavior I am willing to reward.
It’s not complicated.
It’s an ad.
There’s no version of advertising I will ever be OK with.
It’s implemented as a KDE Daemon (KDED) module, which allows users and distributors to permanently disable it if they like.
Eh. I guess good enough.
But I’m still opposed on principle.
Wall of text?
I answered a suggestion with very clear preferences that something not use a trainwreck of a directory structure and you pointed me to a post on how to make a trainwreck of a directory structure, so I wrote a short paragraph again clarifying that I’m not OK with that.
I don’t want anything automated. I just want to be able to do it manually with a database that handles all of the metadata and organization and literally no folders but the top level one containing every file. Calibre’s insistence on me either having incorrect author information or splitting everything with multiple authors into unique folders for every combination is most of the reason I can’t stand it. The actual bulk editing tools are good. The end result of a mess of folders isn’t.
I’m not OK with folders, especially nested folders.
I’m aware of it and explored it a little, but the folder structure requirements are the opposite of what I’m interested in. I want to dump everything in one place and use the UX of my reader to manually build series, adjust metadata, and do everything else.
Most of the benefits of it are really only useful in its browser based reader, which is also a dealbreaker, and it doesn’t really add anything to Moon Reader because OPDS integration doesn’t actually sync anything, which is the whole reason I’d want a dedicated server over just having everything in a cloud drive.
It’s cool if it works for you, but it doesn’t really solve any of the problems I want solved.
Yeah, I’ve tried, both for actual files and for tracking my reading across multiple platforms, and nothing really seems to fit my needs, especially when I want to actually read them on an Android ereader. Anything I choose seems to have a lot of manual effort, frequently, or just a dumpster fire of an actual reading experience.
I feel like I’m eventually going to have to make my own, which is fine, I guess, but I’m definitely not comfortable actually managing a community project or just building up the codebase or documentation to the level someone else would be enthusiastic to use as a jumping off point to manage themselves, so it will probably just stay a personal project that ends up not helping anyone else solve the same problems I have.
Donations.
Presumably because either the authors or intended visitors (those who value privacy) prefer a slightly more work to track transaction.
SteamOS is arch, so some of the derivatives are too.
Steam shouldn’t really care though.
