Ventoy is awesome, +1

No no, they have proprietary methods of aggregating install data so they will know.

Thanks. I’ll take a few and leave a few: …,

Depending on how long the backlash can stick around, I would expect to see it go down with a large exodus. In particular, if Microsoft gets upset about the impact it could have to gamepass. Unity does seem to be backtracking, but it really feels like they overextended on purpose to make the actual result feel less shitty

Yeah, I did read it. Doesn’t mean he didn’t know that there would be backlash

You think they just suddenly came up with this model? No shit they have to jump through hoops. That doesn’t stop them from doing it in advance of something like this

So he sells a bunch of shares right before the announcement that is likely going to tank their stock price

If we could only use some sort of… identifier to know when a game has been installed… like some kind of… serial number or key that is unique per copy…

The original announcement stated it was retroactive

Just be rich and pay the extra yearly fee so you don’t gotta pay as much per install. Duh

TikTok isn’t great, but it’s hardly the “worst spyware”.

Here is a comparison of actual spyware threats and different apps.

Here is the report itself regarding TEMU and how it actually IS spyware.

Have never had a popup ad like this. Maybe because I have all of that stuff turned off?

Seems like an oddly specific reason to run Linux on your personal machines tho.

There are tons of other issues that are far more relevant and affect more users than simple windows store popup ads that most people don’t seem to get.

Outside of a crash when placing large objects in the outpost once, I haven’t had any real issues. In the first combat mission I had an enemy sticking through the ceiling and spotting me, but that’s really it

No, it’s fairly unbroken

Oh thanks

andOTP is a good option for Android. It does offer backup capabilities which could be used for syncing. Bitwarden is also good

Yes, windows is heavier. Yes, it will use more power and resources. It’s not intended to conserve resources and run on every system known to humankind. We all know this. How it is a surprise to anyone is beyond me

I really like ORMs when they are well designed. With a bad API though, it hurts me to use them over a general query string.

I built a small driver for ArangoDB that just uses AQL behind the scenes because it’s so much easier to manage.

This has been argued over for a long time now. They routinely fight against orders from foreign governments (foreign to Switzerland). When one case comes along and the Swiss government actually says they need the information, and the courts say Proton has to abide, they finally do. This somehow negates every other time the government has come knocking and been told to fuck off? They tried, the courts said they had to do it, so they did. If they didn’t, the service would be gone now.

Now do one with a GI Joe PSA
