Interesting, thanks for the links I’ll take a look

Yeah was thinking about that (edited to add immediate) – games are certainly background loading nowadays but the stuff needed is intended to be in ram by the time it’s needed, afaik.

For sure I’m just saying i’d guess that’s because at play time you’re loading everything into ram. For bulk loading I would encryption perf follows the general use case.

(Tldr encryption shouldn’t matter for games)

That’s quite a take given the source of most current end to end encrypted messaging algorithms.

But also, whooosh

You didn’t explain the implications of what radio free Asia is, I did. I don’t know what words I’m putting in your mouth.

That’s fine, but why?

You have granular control over universal windows apps (ie windows 8+ apps) and one global lock over all desktop apps (non uwp), and one global lock over everything. It’s pretty solid considering how little control Microsoft has and it’s wonderful fetish for compatibility.

Tldr basically same as Linux, except app distribution in Linux was bad enough for so long that more stuff is in the new restricted format while windows still has tons of things which will never go away and aren’t in the sandbox. I think not finding a way to sandbox all desktop apps was a mistake.

Define properly shut down. Do your thieves usually ask first?

If it has to go to disk for immediate loading of assets while playing a video game you’re losing more than 1-5 fps

Signal is an objectively better experience than xmpp, and has about identical security (same with matrix). Irc isn’t secure afaik. Telegram isn’t secure afaik.

A better wish would be that people in 2024 would stop being fuckign weird about their cell number. Some people don’t want to give it out despite white pages being the standard for years (and how the Terminator knows who to kill). Other people refuse to use a messaging app where they can’t use their phone to sign up. Some people want to sign up with their number but not give it out.

Moxie would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t still working there…

Matrix or xmpp, bonus points with a personal server

Thanks to interest of late, the conversations and gajim apps have come a long way in recent years, and matrix has made good strides too with element-x

So tldr, since you didn’t finish your thought, is that they got a grant like 3+ layers down, from the US government.

I have some news for you, or perhaps I can offer you a bridge.

I’ve never seen anyone say they’re dissatisfied. I’ve seen claims that lifetime plans are a bad business model and I’ve seen one of the owners say they are careful to limit them. Their apps suck but I use them as an off site archive for my most precious data and while I wouldn’t let them be my only backup they have yet to cause me issues in several years.
