Many games are fun, especially with friends, even if they are crappy on a deeper look (micro transactions etc.). Most mobile games are fun at first–the trick is stopping when they aren’t anymore.
With games blocking Linux users, we can’t even enjoy the beginning. And many more won’t even try to use it.
Yeah it’s sad to see more games fixing their bad net code with client side anti cheat. Remember, GTA Online is a game where a lobby is transparently hosted on someones PC, which allows them to cheat however they want.
If Rockstar used proper dedicated servers, this wouldn’t be an issue. Just like with Fall Guys and many other games.
A few weeks ago I thought about getting back into GTA Online, now I can’t.
No, this runtime only works if the developer enables it on their side.
Really very similar to Lemmy, where the identity of each group is tied to a particular server, e.g. lemmy has !anime@ani.social but Matrix has #anime:matrix.org
So what happens if matrix.org goes away or decides the server admin wants to be hostile to #anime?
A matrix room can have multiple identities/adresses set by the room admin. E.g. the admin of !anime:matrix.org could add another adress for the same room on !anime:myanime.instance. Because the room is replicated on all other participating servers, this would let the room continue to exist on the network (besides all matrix.org users not being able to access it).
Matrix does have a single “room id” per room, which looks like it gives the original creating home server more rights, which it does not. E.g. !ehXvUhWNASUkSLvAGP:matrix.org
Any server admin does not have any more rights over a room than another server admin. They can ban the room for their local users, but this does not stop federation as a whole.

It also appears that anything beyond text has to be hotlinked […]
Matrix allows for media to be hotlinked, but it can also be replicated across servers.
I.e. if I send an image in a room and look at the source (available on many web clients), the image url looks like the following "url": "mxc://matrix.org/qGgUKuZuHcRsWAhSfqKnmtiX". The actual image (and preview) then gets fetched by your server from my server [4], and then gets send to your client.
It’s important to note that a server isn’t required to download all media. If a user does not read a room, it might not download the media from another server, until the user actually wants to view it (or rather that part of the room history). Or a server admin might clean up the media store to free up space.

They do basic checking for known malware.
It’s one year cooldown after joining a family share. I.e. if you leave half a year after joining, you have to wait another half a year to join another family share.
Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.
You’re right. I’ve read somewhere that Apple plans to work with GSMA to add encryption to the official RCS standard, so this major issue hopefully gets fixed at some point.
Yeah, I’m not sure whether Bitwarden always had support for exporting the vault on mobile, but it’s an awesome feature.
RCS isn’t E2E, and it doesn’t minimize metadata.
Moxie Marlinspike has been strongly against federation in Signal because of how it makes avoiding metadata almost impossible.
I’d say there’s basically zero chances Signal will add RCS.
I’d argue XMPP is less ideal than Matrix because groups are located on a single server, which makes them easier to take down than Matrix’ replicated state.
Running any P2P/decentralized protocol over I2P seems to be the best for privacy and censorship-resistance. I2P already works great for torrents, except for it’s speed and lack of users/seeders.
@zabadho@ani.social
The problem always comes down to usability and barrier to entry. Telegram is popular because it’s great to use, and doesn’t moderate much. More private services rarely (never?) reach the level of usability most people expect, often simply because of it’s architecture.
They are evaluating different ways to continue to support ad blocking. E.g. “unbraving” Brave Browser, or just implementing their adblock-rust.
They most likely won’t support MV2, since it would get increasingly difficult with each update to Chromium.

Creating a wayland compositor based in wlroots is much more work than an X11 window manager. And then there’s quite a bit of work to keep up with new Wayland protocols.
But I personally don’t think there’s a need for more compositors, since the existing compositors do support all kinds of tiling.
E.g. river has custom layout providers, which allows for creating completely custom tiling behaviour. There’s even a hyprland plugin which implements river-layout-v3.
Since most of the fediverse is run by volunteers, blocking ads isn’t much of a concern.
Though I do agree with the sentiment and I love Firefox + uBlock Origin on my phone.
I got the first part about Chrome as a joke, but after I read the edit I wasn’t sure anymore.
But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.
Why do you think that? I’m happy with Firefox. It let’s me customize the tabs bar through userConfig.css to exclusively use tree style tabs and supports uBlock. That’s all I really need from a browser, but, sadly, all other browser only support basic vertical tabs.
A lot of edge lovers here
I guess many here don’t particularly like Chrome, just like they don’t like Edge.
I.e. using a browser that spies on you to download another browser that spies on you doesn’t seem like a great deal to me.
Both being based on Chromium there isn’t even any performance difference between them. Insert “they are the same picture”-meme.
Transcoding and transcoded downloads does not seem to be merged yet, altough there’s a working PR.
The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.
I’ve been using COSMIC Epoch pre-alpha for the past two months, and it definitly is on a good path. There’s still many bugs, but COSMIC has gotten much better, and more featureful (e.g. I’m finally able to use my keyboard layout of choice and rebind all keys accordingly). The only major missing feature is VRR/adaptive sync, because I really don’t like playing CS2 with vsync.
Sadly they switched from dynamic tiling (river, awesome) to manual tiling (sway/i3-style), but together with the window-movement-animations it’s awesome. Finally there’s a desktop with a compositor made with tiling in mind, and not as an afterthought.
Also I find it great how many distros already have COSMIC packages in their community repos.
Well, it seems my reading skill deteriorated to a surprising extent. You’ve even mentioned handbrake in your post…
I’m honestly fine with DRM, as long as it’s removed within my definition of reasonable time. I’d say a year vor two.
Once the DRM is removed it allows for archiving and preserving the piece of media — as well as pirating copies.
