This looks fantastic. Thanks for the link!

Really looking forward to this wave; the tracks look amazing! Koopa Cape especially

Oh dear...

First that name. Oh my word. Just no.

Second, pretty much directly encouraging piracy. Just... That's also a hard no.

Sorry, while the technological concept is interesting for games that don't have a restrictive license, between a lack of forethought regarding the name and the outright condonment of piracy, I'm gonna have to stay away. If these issues are readdressed in the future, it my be worth re-examining

Nah, that was just the cherry on top for me. GOG also refuses to support Linux with their client, delisted a Taiwanese game due to Chinese government pressure, have hedged REALLY close to DRM content like with Hitman...

The cyberpunk 2077 was just another case if acting in bad faith. CD projekt red acts in bad faith. Till they change that, I am sticking with steam

Thank you for the informative reply! I am curious; why does the framework laptop fall short of a dream laptop? Can you elaborate?

Aw darn it. I was just about to switch to them too... Unless they get bought by an idealist buyer, they are just gonna get gobbled up by the big 3...

It seems meta wants "off the record" meetings with instance admins, such as Fosstodon https://fosstodon.org/@kev/110592625692688836

In that case, assuming I read you correctly, I have to disagree. Privacy and security companies cannot rely on advertising or telemetry to be profitable; doing so is counter and paradoxical to their standing as a security/privacy company.

Bitwarden seems to be doing just fine. 1Password should be taking cues from them, not advertising revenue

Being honest, its really hard for me to buy a pop_os laptop when the framework laptop exists. Being able to have that level of customizability and self repair options are just too good to pass up.

Suggestion: perhaps pop_os could collab with framework to make a pop_os laptop that is far more customizable and repairable than what is currently available

Nah. Its just a tried and true step of enshitification. Fingers crossed that bitwarden is already profitable so we still have a good cloud password manager...

Genuinely cannot tell if you are sarcastic or not.

I'm not sure its a good idea to recommend in privacy guides if it is a security issue or it breaks things...

Halo, BOTW, eventually TOTK.

Gotta enjoy my life before university starts again...

Well, he has often had high paying jobs outside YouTube. He started his YouTube channel as an incidental thing. He's not really super reliant on it due to his abilities and resume. I am hopeful he won't jump the shark

That's not how it works, actually. Its more sophisticated. The point is to provide easy access to options for a user that doesn't want to root through the guts of a system

And no, it is more robust than that. This tool doesn't lead to breakage. IT admins use this tool.

And finally, your last suggestions are beyond the ability of the average user

Honestly, we don't deserve some of these good developer folks. We are super lucky to have them.

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/2347/

Honestly, I love it for what it is. It nails almost everything I want. Yeah it can get a little hot. Yeah the battery should be improved at some point. But I am 100% happy with what I got.

Only thing I don't like is certain devs screaming their eyes out about refusing to support Linux, implementing DRM, and that Linux users are 'cheaters' (we are not).

Its a new market. Embrace it or be left behind, because I am starting to avoid games that don't play nicely with Proton

Maybe some tasty rice. I want to get an instantpot; never had one before but I have heard they are amazing

You can get an executable if you prefer. And the code is on github so you can implement what you like

I do recognize your point about weblinks. But, you can trace what this weblink is going to do, since the code is open source. Nothing has to surprise you

Trust me you don't know the half of it. As far as windows goes, it will be bleed your eyeballs off for how good it is.

Plus, and this is a big thing, you can restore your settings if you nuke something you didn't want. This tool won't bork the system

Oh yeah it is open source too, of course
