A spot includes a downloadable file and accompanying metadata and is intended to be shared with other users. A spot can be compared to a traditional search engine index entry. However, the difference is that it is user-generated and is intended to help people identify, organize, and share content.
The layman would think of it as a file. So music, movies, text, whatever.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Spotweb client for Spotnet:
Spotweb is a Spotnet implementation in PHP. Spotnet only shows actual Spots - spots are manually created by humans which categorize them and provide an image and description for the spot. You cannot compare Spotweb with for example Newznab or other such systems as its a moderated and curated system with manual intervention.
This makes Spotweb slightly slower for new content but should most likely raise the bar on quality - depending on the Spotters.
Spotarr is an alternative client.
Well if the pattern is to be followed, we have three more oblivion releases, and 3 more morrowind releases. So that’s like a decade at least
Pacman has many of the same issues git does. The DX is lacking, but all of the tools you need are there, and it’s reliable despite the lackluster experience.
I’ve been using this for the last year, works great for me.
Most notably the Zenith Space Command

Meh, we have enough costly products, centralized services, and closed source browsers available. If I want to fuck myself over I could go drink an entire bottle of vodka rather than installing this nonsense. If they change literally everything they are doing, and especially stop funding Yandex, I’ll consider trying it.
I’d love to know if anyone got this working. Cause I recently discovered that controllers work with these mobile games very well. Infinitely better than the PC ports for some reason. I’m surprised they didn’t advertise this as a feature.

Yea it can be read, but it’s generally considered open source when it is both readable and modifiable, and this is not. In a commercial setting this would need a license approved by OSI as well.
Code that can be read but not used for much isn’t in the spirit of open source. It reminds me of a rich kid who gets yet another new toy and wants everyone to see what they have for attention but won’t let them touch it. We should call this something else entirely, perhaps readable source.
I wasn’t asking genuinely about the people already here, we are here because we were willing to go through the red tape. The thought experiment was meant to highlight that we are the exception, most people would push.
Not sure what your definition of proper is, but the license is restrictive and wouldn’t be described as free nor open.
You’re presented with two doors. One has red tape on it, the other says push. Which do you attempt to enter?
The Venn diagram of people who know what these games are, and also are willing to play them on a mobile device is extremely niche.
There are two, the original open source version and its forks, and then the closed source version.
I agree, a gateway drug is what we are looking for. Imagine trying to learn how to run before you learned how to walk. We are asking a lot of the masses if we want to see user growth here without a simple and easy to understand starting place.
I think the hardest concept for beginners to grok is that they can’t login with one account to all instances. If we were to improve the UX around that experience solely, we would see greater adoption.
Thanks, I have tried this and every single mod I could find online.
Nothing worked. I even tried to install steam and run the game through that, Winlator wasn’t very stable though, and would crash. I think I’ll just wait until it improves and hope the issue resolves itself.
Here are a bunch of local services I’ve used at one point or another from phone to PC or PC to PC. Not sure if any links are out of date.
KDE Connect

PeerTransfer
