What exactly do you think is terrible about it? Also, what's the version that your pod is using?

Its interface changed quite a lot during the recent years. How long ago did you check it?

By the way, diaspora* has quite a lot of Linux users, because it's probably most feature rich FOSS social network, and decentralized one with that.

There are also Web clients for IRC.

Pidgin is pretty good for IRC.

IRC is quite actively used by a lot of FOSS projects. Which is kind of surprising, since I find XMPP to be better in many aspects.

Hm. I wouldn't recommend Telegram to privacy concerned. Its server isn't FOSS.

May be there should be some presence on diaspora*? https://diasporafoundation.org [External Link]

Also, in addition to IRC it's good to have an XMPP chat room.

Oil Rush is a fun game - I bought it in one of the Humble Bundles. I wish they'd make more game using Unigine.

At the time of this writing, 32-bit processors are becoming rarer, but 32-bit operating systems are still a reality. Distributing both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries is a small effort that prevents a lot of headaches.

I'd say no. If developers are constrained they should drop 32-bit builds and only release 64-bit. Otherwise they'll have to deal with a lot of hidden issues, like the infamous large XFS partition bug. Those focused on gaming today don't use 32 bit OSes anyway, and non capable of 64-bit PC hardware doesn't exist for years already.

Now let them open source the firmware and document the protocol...
