Nobody should say it imo and I mean nobody, some words can just be left in the past.

Fuck no. It’s all disgusting.

I just want rainbow transparent tech back. Let me feel like I am still in the early 2000s.

All data is routed through somewhere you don’t have control over at some point. If everything is encrypted then you are fine. You could setup a vps and proxy through that instead of Cloudflare, but you are just relying on the vps provider to protect any data/not snoop then rather than Cloudflare.

The only real way to be completely private is to just avoid connecting to the internet at all, but that’s not really feasible. Just get to a point where you are comfortable, you’ve already done more than most to protect yourself (as much as you can without it getting silly anyway). Good job!

They would have been fine if they just gave them budget and left them to it, but it was never about producing good games.

Linux is not getting exclusive builds anytime soon, in our lifetime I’d wager. So Windows builds would still exist anyway, so it would make no difference having native Linux builds, it would only be a bonus. Besides, if Linux somehow eclipses Windows to a point developers don’t support Windows anymore, then I’m sure there would be compatibility layers or whatever built to run old Linux games on newer hardware too.

The laws to ban “AI”, you mean?

Abandon nvidia. Buy amd/intel gpus.

Fantastic ahaha

Absolutely. You are right, the initial uptake is more important right now. Most of the Linux market share on Steam is the Steam Deck right now.

Where’s the source for that? Every statistic I can find puts Linux at about 4% (never above 5 in history) and specifically for Steam, it’s at 2.69%.

Yeah, but I mean when making a decision to natively support Linux, it becomes more likely to skip it as “proton can just handle it”.

So it’s likely we won’t see more native development until Linux desktop adoption is much much higher.

I’d like native builds really, but this kinda discourages that. Then again though, with tiny market share Linux has, it’s understandable devs don’t support it natively. It’s also good to not have to manually enable Proton everytime too.

Oh and I suppose this helps with adoption, one less hurdle for someone to jump through to just play games from their library.

A very nice, simple webpage too.

Of course not… people should still do regular backups.

No consumer decided it would be better without it, there’s literally no reason to defend it’s removal. It doesn’t exist because the phone companies wanted to sell their wireless earbuds, that’s it. Anything else they tell you is bullshit.

Why are you trying to justify not having it? You can still use your wireless buds if you want if the port exists, you can still use your USB-C earphones or adapter if you’d like. It can exist in harmony along with other features, like it did for decades before capitalism called for more profits.

We were doing perfectly fine 10 years ago and manufacturing has only gotten more advanced, the only real reason the 3.5mm port was removed is because Apple wanted to sell people their AirPods. That’s literally it. The rest of the manufacturers soon followed suit when they realised how many people were buying AirPods.

Or just put the port in the phone.

“just”, I think not giving money to Apple or Google anything is a perfectly good reason alone to want expandable storage.

Phone manufacturers charge a massive premium for more storage on a phone, storage which is then lost if the phone dies. A microSD card can be moved around and they cost little.

Not everyone has a home server, in fact a very very small percentage do and being able to store their photos and what-not on a microSD card is very valuable. The freedom to add more storage is a good thing to have. Most people can understand an SD card, but not how to setup an entire home server with syncing etc, let alone exposing that to the web to access it anywhere. It also costs money to run, a microSD card doesn’t.

The only reason we don’t have expandable storage or a 3.5mm port anymore is: money. They want to sell you that cloud service, upcharge you for more internal storage and make you buy their bluetooth earbuds.
