Hey! I'm going to finish up university soon and as part of that I'm required to do an internship related to C++ development. I'd love to do something in the Linux gaming space and help promote it that way, but I'm not aware of many studios in Europe that are big enough to take interns. So I turn to Lemmy: what are some studios that may be open to Linux development, either through supporting it natively or creating/improving developer tooling on Linux?

I just moved into a student dorm for a semester abroad, and beforehand I emailed them asking whether they had ethernet ports to plug my router into (I use it to connect all my devices, and for WiVRn VR streaming). They confirmed that I could, but now that I'm here the wifi login portal is asking me to accept these terms from the ISP, which forbid plugging in a router. There's another clause that forbids "Disruptive Devices" entirely, defined as:

“Disruptive Device” means any device that prevents or interferes with our provision of the 4Wireless to other customers (such as a wireless access point such as wireless routers) or any other device used by you in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy;

So what are my options? I don't think I can use this service without accepting the terms, but also I was told by the student dorm support that I could bring a router, which contradicts this.

EDIT: some additional context:

• dorm provider is a company separate from my uni (they have an agreement but that's it)
• ISP (ask4) is totally separate from dorm provider, and have installed a mesh network that requires an account. On account creation, there are many upsells including one for connecting more than one device. The "free" plan only allows me to sign in on a single device, and I can upgrade to two devices for 15 pounds.
• ethernet requires login too
• VR streaming requires a high performance wifi 6 network, which is why I bought this router (Archer C6 from tp-link)

I've been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that's ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it's quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what GitHub client do you use?

Specifically, I'm looking to browse GitHub repos (view code, issues, forks, PRs) and use it (reply to and create issues mainly).

Hi! I'm looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing "Move to [blog name]" made it disappear. It's still in the stats page but clicking on it shows "This page is missing." It seems really buggy, hasn't had a release in almost a year, and my post would be lost if I hadn't made a backup. Are there any other good options for publishing a blog?

Hi! I've installed Stremio on the ISP-provided AndroidTV "decoder" and it allows my family to watch shows while still having access to live TV. However, I am not aware of any option to watch live sports ("Ligue 1" in France) with as good an interface as Stremio, so my father has to watch it on his computer by finding a site that's streaming it and has the least invasive adblock-bypassing ads.

I wanted to know whether something like Stremio exists that I can set a Linux server to boot directly into and control with a remote (so we no longer depend on the ISP-provided box) and would allow watching the free live TV provided by our ISP, as well as something similar to Stremio's interface for pirating shows/movies, and also has sports streaming. I know torrent streaming doesn't help the ecosystem much, but I'm not sure where else to look. I installed Kodi and played around with it, but I couldn't get Elementum to work (and it looks much more complicated for my family to use than Stremio). Thanks in advance!
