> - have the webui accept external auth (like github oauth) so that it can be a public portal and accept external interactions

Have you looked into ForgeFed? It's a WIP plan for different Forgejo based forges to federate with each other. https://forgefed.org/

There's also this: https://indieauth.net/ though I haven't looked into it. I hope you could integrate one of these into your planned OAuth/account system!

As a comment I once saw said, the technology to play singleplayer games locally does not exist yet.

Care to tell me what exactly is "misinformation" when every point has been cited from articles by reputable local/international media sources?

If your only argument is about a so called "western bias", forgive me for laughing. I'm under no obligation to kowtow to the delusions of an authoritarian country and it's supporters.

> Android 15's FileIntegrityManager includes new APIs that tap into the power of the fs-verity feature in the Linux kernel. With fs-verity, files can be protected by custom cryptographic signatures, helping you ensure they haven't been tampered with or corrupted. This leads to enhanced security, protecting against potential malware or unauthorized file modifications that could compromise your app's functionality or data.

Seems to me like plain old DRM for "experience providers" at the expense of end users. Why should some app developer have a say in my ability to edit files on my own device?

The systematic neutering of Android's pro user tinkering capabilities continues unabated.

> Android 15 brings Android AD Services up to extension level 10, incorporating the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android, part of our work to develop new technologies that improve user privacy and enable effective, personalized advertising experiences for mobile apps.

Only a fool would believe this measure is meant for the benefit of anyone but adtech companies.

> Europe also prides itself for its glorious occupation by … ahem… by the thing I’m not allowed to talk about because we’re under occupation.

> We’re vegans, we’re trans, we’re using non-violent communication, we’re in discord on our soil, we destroy every trait of masculinity during education

Remind me what exactly do these have to do with Russian aggression again?

1. The government has been, or is trying to take down media pieces critical of them, including but not limited to investigations on Indian Army Torture in Kashmir[1] and documentaries about the current Prime Minister's role in locally fomented pogroms in 2002[2]. They have also been using the income tax enforcement apparatus to punish dissident independent news organisations such as The Quint[3] and Newslaundry[4]. That these news organisations are allowed to exist (as of 2024) is merely a compromise because outright banning and suppressing the organisation for no clear wrong doing would be bad for optics. It is in no way a litmus test for the measure of effective press freedom there actually exists.

2. The previously mentioned 2002 Gujarat pogrom[5], come to mind, supported by complacent ministers such as the now Prime Minister Modi, who was banned from the USA and several other nations due to his role in the incident (until recently)[6]. The Prime Minister and his party have been silent on ensuing regional ethnic conflict that has killed more than 200 people thus far.[7] The term 'Bulldozer Justice' was coined from the practice of BJP ruled states demolishing Muslim people's homes using bulldozer machines with public support, under the pretext of "illegal constructions" [8]

The BJP party is the political wing of the Hindutva outfit RSS (whose claim to fame is one of their members having assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. [9]) Throughout the decade of their governance, they, their regional sub-parties and their corporate partners have systematically enacted policies of aforementioned media suppression, public communications suppression in the face of mass protest/mobilization[10][11], arbitrary arrest of protesters under British colonial era sedition laws without bail[12][13] mass internet traffic surveillance via Deep Packet Inspection[14]. They have suspended around 150 opposition MPs as of a few months ago[15].

All the above which I've listed are bad enough but there are many more skeletons in the proverbial closet which I don't have the energy to recall and cite at the moment. None of the above points to India as being a free and secular nation. To engage in semantic handwaving is a frankly pathetic attempt of apologism. I wish I had more time to elaborate but I'm horrified that I even need to.

Tangential to this topic, my favorite example of dynamic music is in Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005's police pursuit soundtrack: https://youtu.be/YtSQCYStwew

While certainly much more primitive than modern games (it's merely looping segments of a premade track), Most Wanted 05 does a great job of live scoring the pursuits, playing, looping, and smoothly segueing between the track segments. From experience I guess it selects the segments based on the heat level, player speed, police proximity, and other factors that I'm not even sure about.

There are 4 pursuit soundtracks in the game, I highly recommend people listen to them if not try the pursuit mode itself in game. If nothing else it's thrilling as hell, a feeling that the modern entries still somehow fail to capture fully.
