  • Fuck, I went through that with VRchat...

  • Probably because it picks a lane and stays in it, although I wouldn't trust it on even a burner phone.

  • With a Meta service it's better to presume the worst than to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    ...Although I also have crashing issues with Voyager on GrapheneOS, so it could just genuinely be programming errors.

  • Ah, that makes a lot more sense why people were dependent on the software, but if anything, that proves that using essential software that can have the terms changed by "new management" is a bad idea. Your crucial hosting software should FOSS with no strings attached.

  • Fair, although you couldn't pay me to use the Epic Games Store or make an amazon account lol

  • Sounds like all you gotta do is wait then, since your hyper-niche scenario will become a lot less niche once that happens.

  • Steam sales:

    Humble bundle deals:

    GOG giveaways:

    itch.io's existence:

    FOSS games:

    Modded total conversions of existing games:

    Browser/F2P games:

    I mean libraries are awesome, but let's not say pirating is the only option to get content on PC for cheap/free.

  • Why you should consider self-hosting instead of relying on a "free" provider reason 2759:

  • Enjoying solving the puzzle enjoyers vs "Let's go gambling" vibe coders.

  • I could always use more excuses to de-google! XD

  • Host or purchase from a reputable email provider and make your mail your own :)

  • You already can have that :) Ironfox (Firefox Librewolf-style android fork) is the easiest option (uBlock origin integrated), but you can also use the normal firefox browser with full extension support.

  • Yeah that seems about right.

  • Microsoft is notoriously bureaucratic - there's probably a lot of PR, middle managers, support staff and bean counters at each studio.

  • Uk loses the case, both Kiwi and 4chan go into debt from legal fees? (They're definitely not making bank)

  • The unfortunate fact is if a user who views what you post is using a windows machine, the likelihood of the information on their screen being captured by Microsoft is overwhelmingly high.

    I guess you may have to approach the issue how you would the public-facing internet at large: if you cannot verify who and how people are viewing your material, do not post any material that can be accessed by windows. If you must, post it through a trusted circle of users who also understand the issue.

  • Working hand in hand with the Israeli government in mass surveillance and (likely) AI-generated targeting data.

  • They're rent-seeking, more than they already are. The data must flow for training, actively burned bridges be damned.

  • Export to a .pdf, automatically opens by default in user browser via local storage as a reader, bypasses MS

    This is still problematic shit though, on the same level as enabling Recall by default and encrypting W11 storage devices by default.
