Well. there are wiki pages with info about Lutris etc. like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutris

But since I’m the author of WineGUI, I’m not allowed to create: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WineGUI (currently it just redirects to wine instead… bleh). Stupid Wikipedians people.

Here you have the full page:

'''WineGUI''' is a [[graphical frontend]] for the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] software [[compatibility layer]] which allows [[Linux]] users to install [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based Software as well as [[video games]] for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]].

WineGUI can be used under [[Linux]] operating systems; deb, rpm and tar prebuild packages are provided.<ref>{{cite web

==Internals==
WineGUI is fully developed using the [[C++]] programming language and [[Gtkmm]] ([[GTK]] C++ wrapper) GUI-toolkit.

In some cases WineGUI rely on [[Winetricks]] to configure the Wine bottles. The latest Winetricks release will be retrieved automatically. 

Each "Windows Machine" in WineGUI has it's own Wine bottle (thus a different WINEPREFIX).

WineGUI is very responsive, due the fact that bottle (re)configurations are done in a multi-threaded manner. Also the GTK GUI natively integrates into most common [[Linux distributions]], matching the user's theme preferences.

Currently, WineGUI is relying on the Wine version that is installed on the host machine. However there are plans to support other Wine versions as well as other various Wine forks<ref>{{cite web

Yea, please create a wiki page about it. Since I’m not allowed to -,-

What about WineGUI? https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/winegui

Roger that

Nobody knows about Mbin yet?

It’s not my app.

Yes somebody did mention Debian Sid, which is Debian unstable. Which is maybe even more up to date (I still don’t consider it rolling release, because there will be a package freeze, if not multiple).

You could… of course also try to use Debian Testing (which is more stable than Debian Unstable), but also more up to date than just Debian Stable.

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting And see also: https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ (currently “trixie” is the testing release).

EDIT: I mention this, because nobody mentioned it yet.

yea correct. This app seems to be interacting with Invidious. Keep in mind that Google is changing their videos to embed ads soon in their video streams.

Mbin also does have a lot of theme options, layout settings and different colored themes.

My bad… I should make it all text with hyperlinks instead. --> fixed

I also linked to the readme as well… If you click on “ActivityWatch”.

Also it’s NOT an Electron app haha.

This app is written in Rust and freetube is written in JS. But what is wrong with alternatives? https://rustytube.rs/

Try ActivityWatch! Releases page here. There is even an AppImage.

Then also install: aw-watcher-web to track duration on sites (eg. firefox).

Hi again. Great idea indeed! Just use pi-hole and block all NSFW content, sites and ads.

Here you go:

                   -`
                  .o+`                 user@intel4004

It’s about time we try to de-google.

Eaxctly my point as well here… https://kbin.melroy.org/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/461269/-/comment/4095583

Sure!

• More and more (AI) spyware / malware is getting injected into projects and operating systems. Without the user consent. Mobile phones, laptops, desktop PCs, smart devices, etc. This comes from companies, but also from governments (no, not just China, but also US and EU).
• AI bubble itself will burst for the “normal users” and most companies who won’t really benefit from AI / LLMs as they thought they will. This will be apparenty only after several years. Where the highly skilled developers left the companies, and you are left with software engineers using AI tools which generates wrong code. The damage LLM (like AI Code generation) is doing and will be continue to do in the upcoming years is very untransparent, but it won’t be nice. We suddently are not getting AGI.
• More research and efforts will be put into alternative computers, like computers based on biology. Like using living cells. After all nature is so much more efficient then our current technologies. This could fix the energy demand issues we now see with AI.
• Biology computer will then also create huge moral issues. Since, how do we know the cells are not becoming aware? How do we know it won’t feel pain or the cells are feeling trapped? After all, we, humans, don’t even know how conscious really works and self aware.
• Users & companies want to get back in control over 5 or 15 years from now. So their could be a big move back from “Cloud” to on-prem. You are already seeing this now with the fediverse.
• The internet becomes too much centralized and controlled by goverments. Blocking public DNS IPs. Overruling them. The only answer would be is to create a much more decentralized internet alternative, so over 20 or 30 years from now (so we can still talk which each other about issues in the goverments par example). The current internet is just too fragile. And the root of the problem is already DNS. Meaning you need to basically start from scratch.
• Over 80 years Windows might only be used by corporate businesses. Most people might only use Android or any Linux based distro. This mainly depends on how fast we change our education process, so young people learn about alternatives. And schools should stop promoting and forcing people to use Microsoft products only. If schools won’t change, then we might have a huge issue, and this topic won’t be valid.
• Google will be split into multiple companies.
• Microsoft might be split later as well into multiple companies, but only much later, after Google.
• … Should I continue or stop here…?
