It was rumoured to be stolen for a long time, but the original developer of SS13 (Exadv1) said in an interview that no theft took place, and he'd voluntarily given the code to fellow programmers[1].

No, there's a "Think 25" rule where if the person looks above 25 you don't have to check.

I run these games via GeForce NOW. There's no way I'm installing kernel-level proprietary monitoring software.

It's a peer-to-peer video client, with part of it's data being directly shared (similarly to torrents) and part via a blockchain. This makes it highly resistant to censorship and thus is where many people are moving their channels to.

Any reason why you think groups shouldn't be able to have private chats?

Exploiting psychology on a mass scale like this means that the only solution will be government regulation.

With PeerTube there's Sepia Search [1] which allows searching for videos across all instances. All federated networks basically need open-source, centralised search engines like Sepia Search to enable users to search across all federated instances.

Well put. As we've also seen from numerous leaks and incidents over the years, big business and government often works hand-in-hand, with revolving door policies and barely legal indirect bribes happening regularly.

That the government is now seeking to curtail the First Amendment by exerting pressure on these companies should be alarming to anyone.

Every bank app is different. I'd advise getting a cheap phone which supports LineageOS (ROM with the widest device support) and see if it works there first. You can also try LineageOS with microG builds to see if it only needs basic verification with Play Services in order to work.

A cryptographic hardware key does not allow tracking you in the same way that Google Play Services does 24/7. GrapheneOS doesn't connect to Google servers unless you opt for it to.

Doesn't this mean it would lose Thunderbolt support?

They've already stated their goal is to enable P2P Matrix in the midterm.

A question to those dismissing the author: would you help a family member sign up to some random app that tracked their keystrokes, sent them highly targeted ads, sold their personal data to 3rd parties, interrupted their work by forcing them to reboot their devices and constantly violated their privacy?

No? Then why is it okay to encourage it when it's Microsoft? This is how deeply ingrained brand loyalty is, to the point that like Stockholm's syndrome people will think up any excuse to enable their oppressor.

How is it in your benefit in any way to keep cheerleading the corporate behemoth, rather than plucky newcomer who only has your freedom and best interests in mind?

Numerous Android phones can run mainline Linux and many more can run a Android-based ROM. What's wrong with buying a phone with commercial Android then getting flashed with something different?

You're moving goalposts. First you claimed that this wasn't censorship, now you're saying okay it is but it's fine for them to do so here. Censorship is unacceptable in private messages, there's already reporting functionality.

AppImages are a common format for commercial apps which avoid package managers. The fact that package managers exist doesn't produce any "big cost" for using these instead, except that they're larger because all the libraries they use are bundled with the executable.

Even the Steam Deck is just a Arch Linux device, so you can install any games store like Epic or Origin or GOG on there if you want.

Unlike the Google Play Store which gets special access to APIs that other app stores cannot use.

Been using it for about a decade too. Syntax highlighting, quick capture and mobile reminders are still on my wishlist, but so far it's still better than all other competitors for me.

The Afghanistan army gave up rather than fight the Taliban, despite having far superior firepower and manpower.

Is there an equivalent setting or app for Android?

Full disk encryption is insufficient even, iOS and Android have since moved to file-based encryption for increased security.

The idea is that with widespread adoption of crypto, there is less need of a fiat onramp since people can get paid + buy things in crypto and not need to swap to fiat.

If vaccinated and unvaccinated are hospitalised are hospitalised with infections at similar rates (like is happening in the UK) then it'd prove that current vaccines are indeed ineffective long-term, as they already fail to stop the delta variant.

> Also it doesn't look good to repeat a racist fox news soundbite that's already been debunked about how the blacks are invading our cities and spreading covid [1].

This is a strawman argument. The OP proposed that on average whites are more vaccinated than blacks, which your citation supports. So vaccine marketing should target the biggest vaccine skeptics, otherwise the racially inequal outcomes will only grow.

It seems the newer variants like delta are more contagious yet vastly less lethal, so if it continues this trend then yes, we're past the optimal time period for vaccinations.

Rooting and installing a custom ROM are two independent things, you don't need one to have the other.

Rooted devices can use the official Play Store yes, though most people use Aurora Store to access the Play Store because they tend to remove Google Play Services from their phones as well.
