Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

The TIC80 fantasy console. It's like Pico8 but open source.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Pico8 is not open source? TIL. That's so odd.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's not but tic80 is honestly a bit cooler anyways.

[–] Cralex@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it's not. Leads to weird situations on Linux handheld where you paste in your purchased binary if it's compatible, or you use an emulator like fake08 that has good, but not perfect, compatibility.

Would be awesome if they offered an alternative forge & chat so they aren’t locked entirely to proprietary software for communication / contribution. 😔

Yeah I'm also not a fan of discord but tbh nothing super interesting happens on the discord. Most important discussion is on GitHub. I know that's also not open source but it's at least publicly accessible and indexable.

I'd love to see a tic80 community gain some traction on Lemmy.
