  • That’s not what that means. Open source/source available only pertains to how the source code is published, it has nothing to do with how the app itself is distrubuted/sold.

    Open source distributions are usually free, but don’t have to be.
    Open source code may be copied in part or in full, source available generally may not.
    Similarly, just because an app is closed source doesn’t mean it can’t be free.

    Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?

    Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge.

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney

    There are open source licences that say you can’t charge money for any project which use said licenced code, but that’s not the case with the (A)GPL licence used here.
















  • I switched from samsung to Fairphone, and oh my gods base Android is missing so many nice little features and options I’d been taking for granted on OneUI.

    Smart switch: actually copies your data over instead of simply redownloading your apps and letting you figure out if/how to transfer individual backups.
    samsung gallery: tags, offline categorization, fantastic photo and video editor. Routines, One Hand Operation+ (though “Quick Cursor” is a decent replacement), quick settings. On samsung there’s a feature which can automatically turn off/on wifi when leaving/returning home. google has basically the same feature… but only turns your WiFi on! They really want their location services to be scanning for networks at all times. And apps, like tasker, can no longer manage WiFi either.

    Even so, fuck samsung. I would make the switch all over again.


  • I am aware, and I repeat my question.

    I imagine entry level as slightly more comfortable than the cheapest hardware out there. 16GB DDR4 RAM is >€100. Motherboard, CPU, PSU all likely around that price too. CPU cooler €60 GPU €200. That all comes down to ~€600

    Case €50. Monitor €150. HOTAS another €100.
    Keyboard and mouse… if flight SIM is the primary concern I guess you don’t really need to spend on those.

    Everything so far comes down to €960.
    I suppose it can still be done… probably even cheaper than this is you hunt around for deals/second hand, I didn’t care to spend too much time looking up each individual component. When I did look up the DDR4 price I figured I might as well spend a bit more time; I didn’t bother going back so this comment is a bit all over the place. Also I’m assuming you’re not buying windows.
