Having hacked Telegram servers on occasion is not the same as being in charge of Telegram. These are just different things.

The guy seems to be quite fishy to say the least.
Macron? Yes.


In fact, Ukraine has decided to severely restrict Telegram use
“in government agencies, military formations, and critical infrastructure facilities”
Duh. Of course unencrypted government secrets do not belong on 3rd party services. Guess what: Russia doesn’t do that either.
especially because of Russian intelligence having access to data
“Telegram is actively used by the enemy for cyberattacks, spreading phishing and malware” … “Telecommunications companies are constantly subject to cyber attacks by russian hackers.”
Telegram must not be used by certain sectors because it can be attacked. That’s different from the wrong claim that FSB controls Telegram. If that was the case all of Telegram would be forbidden for all of Ukraine and that’s not the case.


Had to check and I was migrated as well. Honestly, I didn’t even notice it because the bottom icon bar is standard in many Android apps since many years (even Google+ had it). The collapsible sidebar is a relic of ancient times. I don’t think making the icon car pill shaped is necessarily the same as liquid glass. The iPad I have to use for work has a much more obnoxious UI.

“Trust me bro”


It does not have to actively siphon the conversations to a state actor
I’m not claiming that Telegram is perfection, I’m disputing the wild claim that Telegram is a FSB tool just because the founder is Russian.


The clients for both systems are developed entirely separately.


The founder had to flee Russia for his anti Putin stance.
Telegram wouldn’t be used by Ukrainians and Ukrainian government officials if it was a FSB tool. The Ukrainian government knows better than random forum posters.


YTDLnis is a downloader for videos posted on all kinds of social media (started as YouTube Downloader, hence the name). It’s available on F-Droid. See https://ytdlnis.org/ for details.


But it will come back at the next big update.
Not if the update is called Bazzite.


Ubuntu is the windows of linux
Way less successful, though.


By that logic 90% of the world would use preowned iPhones. People use Android because they like Android more than iOS.


Android powers the vast majority of the world’s phones and yet Google is still aping Apple.
HACK THE PLANET!


I mean, no phone controller has the same layout as the steam controller.
100% exactly the same layout is impossible, when there has to be room for the phone cradle in the middle. If you want to clip the phone above the Steam Controller, just get one of those plastic holders where you can attach the regular Steam Controller at the bottom side.
If Valve could implement the software to support steaminput when streaming games to a phone from your PC or a cloud PC, that’d be kinda cool.
Steam Link already exists and Steam Input runs on the PC.
a controller with feature parity with the Steam Controller would be an innovation.
The phone’s touch screen already provides the touch pad functionality when using one of the controllers pictured above.


Maybe too far outside their wheelhouse still but can you imagine a Steam Phone?
Valve allows redistribution of the Steam client. Other than resources, there is little that would stop companies like Jolla to put the Steam client on their phones.


Would be cheaper than regular Steam Controller
Why would Valve make the same Steam Controller again but with a phone cradle in the middle and somehow make this cheaper? It would need to house the same hardware components as the regular Steam Controller AND possibly add an active cooler.
That’s even less realistic than Valve managers reading posts on Lemmy.


Why could a phone controller not have innovations such as those?
OP didn’t ask for additional innovations, OP asked for “the same functionality as the Steam Controller” which the slot-in things + the phone’s touch screen already provide.

Does it need to be free software or just work on Linux? In recent years several web-based video editors became popular such as CapCut and Microsoft Clipchamp. They come with the usual disclaimers of being by companies that don’t have your best interest at heart.
Personally, I try to power through Kdenlive and look up tutorials for the little stuff I do.
Edit: https://opencut.app/ but may require running it inside a local Docker container yourself for most stability.
