Viofo A119 is great, but front view only. Could just get two of them tho…

Tbf, they held a user vote in Germany (supposedly, although the app did ask me to vote) whether to work with them or risk to cease services. Iirc the backgrounds were extremist (terrorist?) groups operating on the platform

Does it block MS tho?

Woah, chill Proton. I know I started using it, but you didn’t have to buy it for me. I like it tho. Very frequently updated app, lots of features.

It’s quite good value, especially the 2-year plan, if you actually use all the stuff they offer. I got my family there, but they are still not to eager to integrate all there is into their routines.

It’s not exactly the same tho. At least in Firefox there were/are still quite a few differences. Notably experimental privacy features and anti-fingerprinting measures are enabled in private windows

I want to add that you can not only use USB keys as second factors, but also as a password replacement on Linux and Windows. It is extremely convenient to press a button instead of typing a 16 character pw.

Can think about Steam tax whatever you want, but they provide a hell of a lot more than just a half-assed store and some exposure for your games like Epic does. Don’t get me wrong, I do gratefully take the free games and I do appreciate the competition, what I want to say is that Steam doesn’t just pocket that money. They provide forums; frameworks for stuff like modding and achievements; a much better client useful beyond games they sell; subsidized hardware and support for Linux as an alternative to Windows. All of this also benefits game developers one way or another and costs money to develop and maintain. (Software) engineers are anything but cheap.

That looks more like an atom tho. Should’ve spotted this after a year or two in development

I hope there’s a collector’s edition for the Switch or something. World of Goo was genuinely amazing for simple puzzle game. They just delivered super hard on art, music and storytelling

Send a bomb threat from all major mail-providers any% speedrun anyone?

Seriously, as if no one ever send a threat from a throwaway Gmail account. The bullshit governments come up with to dismantle privacy…

That’s just the resolution of back then, your eyes will adjust :P

A quick question: Does this happen without gamescope as well?

I have a Pixel and they have quite a bit of stuff where you need to opt in. Actually, surprisingly much stuff where they very explicitly state it’s kept completely on-device, so I assume this is one of those. As other people pointed out, the GDPR fines would be waiting just around the corner.

I think I actually got the advanced suggestions already, but not the stuff regarding tone and context

I have a wallet that’s supposedly shielded and it turned out to be useless. Then I got a jammer card as a marketing gimmick. It doesn’t just shield, it creates interferences. The stronger the EM field the better, to some degree. It actually works flawlessly. At least with my smartphone I can’t read any NFC chip near that card.

Afaik there are none, but I don’t really get why I should use these services anyway. Pulling out my phone is only marginally faster than just using a card directly. They do improve security, kinda like a real life PayPal they prevent others from getting your card on file, but it’s not worth the cost in privacy imo. That’s part of the reason I use a credit card in the first place: Credit companies act as a proxy between you and your bank account and they offer some fraud protection.

Jokes on you, I don’t

I don’t agree with everything but that last point of yours. Requiring your phone number only means your are not anonymous. There is no need to be anonymous to communicate privately. In fact, it can be counterproductive, since your are much more vulnerable to social engineering.

This is almost definitely not going through the ECJ. If they pass this directive I’m gonna take my chances.

Thanks to the Matrix protocol there is no chance of getting rid of E2EE communication anyway. There is no feasible way to stop decentralized communication like that, no without killing the internet.

articlesgallery8543 is my favorite publication! Way better than those idiots from newsexposition752b 🙄

They had their ups and downs.

There was that thing where some domains where whitelisted from blocking, don’t know whether it was cookies or something else. Not great, but easily explained by not wanting to break stuff for unexpecting users, maybe bad communication. Shouldn’t happen when you go privacy first, but that was resolved quickly after being discovered at least.

There was the time when they injected affiliate links when visiting some sites, to generate some revenue of course. They overdid it and replaced affiliate links of other people I think, but again they changed it after the community complained. I don’t know whether that’s optional now or completely gone. In any case, no harm was done to the users in this instance.

One thing you can definitely hold against them to this day is their CEO. He supported anti-queer legislature in the past and was dismissed as Firefox CEO (CTO? Something very high up at least) for that reason. He did apologize for it and afaik didn’t continue supporting that kinda stuff, but you never know.

Imo the browser as it is right now is pretty good and unique in what it has to offer. The biggest issue really is a lack of trust by the community.

That guy created and then sold a social network. He’s being criticized as being in privacy-tech only for the money, although besides the aforementioned fact there seems to be little evidence for this claim.

What is true however is that DDG had some privacy whoopsies in the past, whereas they always claimed those were accidents or not abused (by them). Again, benefit of doubt, but their trackrecord is not clean.

I don’t see a better alternative for search tho.

There is also Mercury, which claims to combine quite a lot of the nice stuff from different FF forks. I personally stick to the original, but it might be worth checking out.

And DDG while you’re at it. At least if you wanna be concerned about CEOs.

They are very transparent with their financials. Pretty much everything they don’t need for upkeep and salaries does directly to legitimate environmental projects.

I mean, if they’re gonna realease a handheld with a 3 nm SOC, they’re probably already testing samples or are about to do so. A year ahead of release doesn’t sound too unrealistic

Not sure they’re gonna do that. From their perspective, a bigger refresh coupled with a price hike would make much more sense. Maybe adding hall effect joysticks, new SOC, USB4 for external GPUs and the like, besides a new screen.

Wasn’t the FP4 launched in the US recently?

Ingl, I don’t see the difference between phone cameras anymore. I mean, I do when I look very closely, but if I want a really proper photo, I use a standalone camera. (Or ask people who own lenses twice as expensive as my phone on their own.)

I think you can also configure Lutris to launch games via Steam 🤔 But I might misremember this…

With a deep sigh, I appreciate this as opening up Linux to more future users.

I mean, played LoL, like, a lot. Different game, different damage, similar outcome.

I mean, MS can literally track you between Windows installs, as long as you’re on the same hardware. No surprises here.

They are supposed to be available in the US and by proxy probably NA as a whole tho

Tor. What you are looking for is Tor.

Would be great if we could make it faster tho.

Simply put, it will download and set up Windows applications for you. Moreover it makes tweaking Wine/Proton settings much easier by utilizing their features to create configs for individual programs. There’s no magic there, it’s “just” a tool that makes the process easier, you could do all of this yourself.

If for example you want to install the EA App, Lutris will have some community provided install script that downloads the binary (.exe) and does the initial setup (create folder + default config).

You will need a “runner” to run the app. You need to install this first. Since it’s a Windows app, Proton is the safest bet. Lutris has a menu where you can enable runners, tweak the default config and download different versions of that runner. Under Wine, you’ll find not only that, but also Proton versions (because it’s based on Wine). These are patched to work with Lutris I believe. Just pick the latest proton version without the “-lol” suffix (they are patched for League of Legends and may not work with other stuff) and download it. In the future you can download later versions here and also see what apps you have running on what version. If you remove a version, all apps running on it will run on the default version in the future (which is usually the latest one you have installed).

Then you can search for the EA App on Lutris and try to install it. If it doesn’t work, maybe try a different Proton version. You will see that the app takes on the default configuration for Proton (plus some other stuff you probably shouldn’t change). If you tweak that, it will be tweaked only the this specific app, which allows for custom configs per app. You can change the Proton version used for this app from the default to any other you have installed. If you don’t do this, it will just use the default version. If you do this but then unistall the selected version, so an invalid version is set, it will also default to the default version.

Really sounds a lot more complicated than it is

You’re not, because it runs just fine on Lutris as well.

Also, for little money gain unlimited mail aliases (and the desktop UI is also nice :) )

If you want just Pass you can get the premium plan with unlimited mail aliases for permanently 1€ (and I guess $?) a month

I can’t wait for some government data to leak because it was not E2E encrypted lmao

Jitsi works fine on FF for me

It is, because you don’t switch the channel, you decide to skip the commercials that are meant to finance it.

I think they are immoral beyond any doubt, but many websites are acting immoral as well, which justifies their use. I happily disable them for sites with an ethical approach to advertising and data collection.
