To the surprise of no one, it’s just a matter of time until local accounts in personal windows editions are removed entirely.

Especially as a new linux convert I would say wait a bit before switching to an immutable distro. They have their advantages but the concept probably feels pretty alien for most windows users, where you can install whatever and it just works. I’ve been a long time Nobara user and it’s pretty good, especially considering it’s basically just one guy maintaining it. But it does break on updates from time to time. My personal recommendation after getting used to linux would be opensuse tumbleweed. It’s constantly updated but never breaks. You generally don’t need a gaming centric distro, especially if you’re rocking an AMD card.
Where did you get the game from? Most platforms like steam don’t actually sell games. You pay to rent the game for life, which is different. Those platforms can change the terms of service for your rental whenever they like. If you prefer to own your games you need to visit actual shops, like GOG.
They’ve been around a bit now. Everyone seems to be pretty satisfied. Desktop app could use some improvements, which is already on their roadmap
Money transfer platforms are even worse than chat apps in terms of how acceptance dictates usefulness. You might convince a couple of friends to use xmpp instead of whatsapp. But its near impossible to get major outlets to integrate new payment methods. Especially if that platform advocates privacy and therefore doesn’t offer a return on invest based on user data. I don’t think we’re gonna see true alternatives without government regulation, and even then…
fighting over the little money that most younger gamers have to spend
That’s where the money is tho. Presents, pocket money, paychecks that don’t need to go to rent and utilities. Everything I had I put into games when I was a kid. Sure I do have more money now, but I also have exponentially more bills to pay. My dad is retired and is pirating left and right cuz he can’t afford gaming. Also, kids don’t inform themselves before buying. They’re much more prone to ads, social pressure, etc… Adults don’t care if a game is 5 years old, which incidentally can be bought for a fraction of the initial price.
Exactly this. He’s a corpocrat, which is a big no-no in the french public eye. Also, he has more of an assimilation instead of integration style in regards to immigration politics, so he’s right leaning as well. Doesn’t help that the left doesn’t have any candidates that anyone can take seriously.
Strictly speaking, if being trackable is an issue for you, you shouldn’t run around with bluetooth enabled in the first place. And incidentally, no BT means no find my device either.
I second disroot. Been happy with their service.
Almost as if only a very small percentage of the population is profiting from those price hikes.
I’ve worked my ass of these past 5 years to advance my career, earning about 30% more, just to have the same buying power I had when I started. It’s ridiculous and utterly demoralizing.
r/atheism is leaking… This conflict has as much to do with religion as the apartheid in south africa had. This is just pure unadulterated racism, period. The best way to heal that imo, is literally fuck each other until there are only brown people left in the world.
Let’s see what europes e2ee ban will bring. Proton is one of the “high risk” services mentioned in the bills debate. Might not be too long before you have to host your own mail server if you want privacy in europe.
Read the article. France is the one trying to find a solution. Germany is to blame.
Privacy matters most in the individual case, with people who know you.
That statement is subjective at best. My friends and coworkers knowing where I live certainly isn’t my concern. In today’s day and age privacy enthusiasts are definitely more scared of corpos and governments.
isn’t worth it yet.
You’re thinking too small. Just in the context of the e2ee ban planned in europe, think what you could do. The new law is set to scan all your messages before/after sending for specific keywords. Imagine you get automatically flagged and now an AI is scanning all your pictures for locations and contacts and what not. Just the thought that might be technically possible is scary as hell.
Germany is so incredibly scared to be associated with antisemitism since WW2, they’re willing to obfuscate and support the genocide of an entire nation. This is beyond despicable.
You’re misunderstanding the post. It’s not about whether or not someone could guess your location from a picture. It’s about the automation thereof. As soon as that is possible it becomes another viable vector to compromise your privacy.
Torrenting/seeding works great with Mullvad, which doesn’t have port forwarding
I never understood how movie-web got so popular when services like FMovies exist.
3 reasons for me:
XMPP implementations have been around so much longer than signal, to me signal would be “just another messaging app”
XMPP doesn’t require my phone number. Signal might give you the option to use usernames with your contacts, but still requires a valid number for registration last I checked.
I can self host an XMPP server instead of trusting/depending on someone else.
There are a lot of issues with your post imo.
First, cash is going away, soon. Sweden has done it years ago. Europe is now playing catch up.
Second, a universal digital currency will remove all system heterogeneity. Yes money is already digitalised, but across several proprietary environments. I can and have set up several accounts across several banks so my spending cannot be fully tracked by a single corporate entity. This will be moot once everyone has to use the same harmonized system.
Third, one of the sponsors of the universal European currency has been caught talking about time limited digital currency. As in, spend your money or it just disintegrates after a set amount of time. Which really destroyed a lot of trust in the endeavour
