Well, the type of policies like that typically come from one of 2 types of people: communists and fascists.

As much as I hate capitalism, I hate communism even more.

Edit:

Forgot and didn’t notice this was one of the .ml communities. Not gonna continue the conversation because I have the strongest feeling neither of us will argue in good faith.

I guarantee the politicians who desperately wanted an end to e2e definitely learned from the communists of the east.

Pretty sure for now it’s just being developed for windows if you want prebuilt executables, but I’m sure with the source code it’s possible to make it work with another OS like Linux, but that’s beyond my pay grade.

No idea about running it from the Brux engine, but I can certainly try later because I would love to play it on my laptop.

Speaking of Super Tux, I hope some day in the future that a guy, Kelvin Shadewing on yt, finishes his SuperTux Advance. Just playing what is currently available, currently just for windows, blows away SuperTux, at least in my opinion.

SuperTux is great in it’s own way, but I love Advance better because of QOL things like being able to run and also having different playable characters with different abilities. If running is available in the original, I sure have not been able to figure it out, either keyboard or gamepad.

Though, will say I absolutely love SuperTuxKart because of all the custom content for the game that adds so much.

Horrible people like to see the greatest things humanity has ever done burn to the ground. That’s my guess.

The funny thing about that is that I am currently on my laptop getting keepassxc set up. This post has somehow motivated me to finally get a password manager.

The 20 character length limit is so annoying because I once had 2 distinct passwords (not in use anymore) that were both coincidentally 21 characters long. Character limiting me by a single character at the end of those old passwords was annoying because I usually ended up, for some services I needed, having to change up and use a completely new password. Back when I was a lot worse about reusing passwords than now.

We’re all guilty of it. No shame in admitting it. I know I’ve been guilty of it from time to time.

I doubt it’d be possible in most any way due to lack of server control, but I’m definitely gonna have to look this up to see if anything similar could be done on a neocities site.

A couple levels in so far and it feels similar to the original in a good way while clearly being a sequel. I’ll have to play more to see if they manage to keep that going throughout the game

So far only problem I had was having to set steam deck controls for it because I sure as hell ain’t using the touchscreen and blocking my view of the game.

I don’t think Playstation is unlocked when it comes to 3rd party stores, but I do remember a whole thing about Apple having to allow side loading of apps onto iPhones over there, so if that actually came true you would technically not be locked into the app store since you could side load another one. Not quite the same as being totally free to choose an app store, but close enough.

They’d probably feel the wrath of the EU if they tried that, hopefully. Also, I doubt Steam under the current management would do that since it would shoot them in the foot because they’d be giving up and abandoning the popular enough Steam Deck at that point. I’m sure they’ve made more than enough money back from it to not want to shoot themselves in the foot.

The ability to pay with cash is great just in case a country’s cashless system(s), especially the one you use the most, goes down for any reason. Gives a backup just in case you need to pay for stuff locally like at a store but your digital money is essentially in limbo until the system(s) is/are fixed.

Hard agree. As someone who used to use a regular wired trackball but had to switch because laptop, I absolutely love it, despite it being a battery operated mouse.

I think that’s the Reveries mod. I got it through flatpak on my laptop and however SteamOS gets it on steam deck.

Tried unlocking the bootloader on my current Samsung after it arrived in the mail. The best I got was it not unlocking after leaving it for a few hours. No screen changes or prompts appearing on screen. Nothing.

My biggest problem with not using android is the last 3 phones I’ve had are pretty much as far as I’m aware unsupported by 3rd party ROMs in general. While yes it is my fault for getting phones that are more budget phones, it’d be nice to see support or ROMs focusing on lower end budget phones instead of mostly just the major flagship models. That, and US model sams*ng phones not being the devil to root, if even possible on any US model.

Out of all the games that I know for sure that have a native Linux port, I’m either going with Minetest, which I have been playing for Voxel Libre (once Mineclone2), or the Sonic Robo Blast 2 with the Reveries mod, despite not knowing what exactly it changes. They’re the 2 games I know have a native port that I’ve been playing the most recently.

If you connect it to the Internet then sure it can be easily harvested by large companies. Pretty sure you can host an offline AI in a device you have made sure the hardware isn’t gonna be phoning home and it’ll probably be fairly safe if you aren’t an idiot like me and actually know what you’re doing.

Google Pay or Apple Pay, probably even Samsung Pay too, but I personally wouldn’t consider any of them good for privacy.

Well… Time to delete my PayPal account I only used maybe once…

That practically all places use? None that I know of.

Just a normal LCD I think. Doesn’t make a huge difference to me.

Mostly been playing Balatro, but I’ve now got a refurbished Steam Deck coming in a few days, so I’ll definitely be playing the Crash N. Sane Trilogy I got just because I know the Steam Deck will be able to better handle it than my desktop.

Somewhat regret the purchase now, but I’m definitely not gonna regret having a Steam Deck later, when it comes.

Probably trolls being trolls or just the usual things governments like to do: ban anything and everything they don’t understand or like.

The problem I see with that is that the large streamers who make the platform will most likely hit enshitification in how they run it at some point. I could easily see them getting either power hungry or greedy and rigging the rules to set things in their favor over everyone else.

This is why if I ever have to get win10 on a VM on my laptop, I am absolutely not updating, ever. Not even gonna give that VM Internet access. Anything I’d need it for, I can passthrough a thumb drive with the files I need. I would hope to God they don’t have a way to hoover up data without internet connection and with no macrohard account connected.

Yet another reason I stay away from any game that has online multiplayer PVP teams based setting. I trust anti-cheat as much as I trust that random file you find on [Insert Sketchy Website Link].

Privacy laws here in America are about as real as the American Dream. We’re more likely to see Jesus return from Heaven, walking on a stairway made of clouds than to see actually useful privacy laws. We’re more likely to see the rich elite willingly giving up all their wealth and power before we get privacy laws.

Would not surprise me either way.

That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.

Another solution that guarantees no data is sold is to just buy a regular corded vacuum. It may not be as convenient, but it’ll save you having to worry about your vacuum stealing data. At least until they start forcing newer models to require an app.

Don’t know if it’s possible or if I’m just dumb, but I definitely feel like having a VM that will “detect” whatever hardware you want it to say you have along with a VPN sounds like a great idea.

Again, don’t know if you can do the fake hardware thing with a VPN, but it’s what I’d do if it’s an actual thing.

If we are talking major software making companies/groups, then I’ll happily agree pretty much 100% with that statement because there are definitely plenty of small groups following their footsteps in one way or another.

Closest we have to a “unicorn” billionaire with some sort of moral compass is Linus Torvalds, if you ask me.

As far as I’m aware, so long as you have purchased it fully with no payments left on it or any loans used to finance it, there is absolutely nothing the car manufacturer or the place you bought it from can do besides void any warranty you have on it. And that’s if they figure out you removed the component.

This was totally my plan for when I inevitably switch to Linux as a daily driver.

It’s a solid plan if you just wanna play older PC games and don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to get them to install using a program like WINE.

Good to know.

Saw something about this days ago and couldn’t find it. Definitely saving this post so I do not forget what this distro is called, again. Definitely wanna try this out via dual boot or VM in the future on a more powerful device than my current desktop and laptop.

Not that I would support it in any way, but that would be the perfect time for people to suicide bomb. Being crowded with a bunch of people would definitely lower the impact, but being slightly spread out, you might have a better chance of doing more damage.
