Wait, what? Really?

I’m so confused. The article says the news comes from the original Saints Row design director, but then the image is from the failed reboot.

Okay, how about we rephrase “Nothing to hide” and change it to “Everything to show”. Doesn’t sound good, does it?

As an aside. this stupid, tired argument is old enough to be of drinking age. Let. It. Die.

Ah, fair enough.

I thought Vaultwarden was a server for Bitwarden? I didn’t know it could interact with KeePassXC.

Can someone clarify: according to Murena’s website, they use /e/OS, which is what they call “degoogled” Android. I would assume degoogled means no Play Store. If that’s the case, what’s going to happen next year, when Google starts blocking installing .apks by unverified developers? Which, I’m assuming, is a good chunk of developers who have apps on F-Droid.

Watched it earlier this week, can confirm. Here’s the link.

Another one of his responses to the same topic: "Code your own engine and show us how it’s done, please”

This is their seventh Borderlands game made in Unreal engine. This isn’t some fledgling indie studio that’s still finding its footing around a game engine. They have 1300 employees, they had 6 years to make this and they have 2K Games’ backing. They have no excuse to release a game in this state, but sure. Let’s blame the customers.

Oh, and I just noticed: the game uses Denuvo, because of course it does.

I’m going off of a article by TechRadar, but essentially: yes. This isn’t about breaking encryption as I initially thought, though that seems to have been the goal when the same law was proposed (and rightfully rejected) in 2022. Rather, the new revision is about making encryption utterly pointless through the virtue of scanning all messages on your device, as you suggested. At least that’s my read on the situation.

Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.

Uh-huh. And how do you search for something specific without decrypting everything first? This is fucking embarrassing.

Wow, same banner and everything. The BBC article has more material, too. Thanks for spotting this.

If their glasses make you “super intelligent” when you put them on, then maybe they should put on their own product and finish school? That was my line of thinking, until I got to this part of the article:

Ardayfio called the glasses “the first real step towards vibe thinking.”

…and then I realized I have no idea what the hell they’re talking about and stopped reading.

As a fan of story-driven games, I absolutely am NOT advocating for complete removal of stories in videogames. What I was trying to say is that if Bioware knows that their audience has an attention deficit and is developing the game around this fact, you’re going to get a crap story. And judging by the reviews for Veilguard, that seems to be the case.

If Bioware is dead set on developing games for a crowd that watches twenty-seven thing simultaneously, why develop the story at all?

“What you need to know about your audience here is that they will watch the show, perhaps on their mobile phone, or on a second or third screen while doing something else and talking to their friends, so you need to both show and tell, you need to say much more than you would normally say.”

This is so baffling to me. So you’ve discovered your audience has a limited attention span. I can see that. But for the love of all that is holy, if you know this, why even make a game with a story in the first place? The thing with videogames is that stories can be minimalistic as all hell, or even optional. Just let the gameplay speak for itself and have the story be “defeat the bad guy on the mountain” or something.

How about parents supervise their own kids them-fuckin’-selves?

There was nothing wrong with Google Talk and they just killed it.

As a former nVidia user, I cannot stress enough how much better gaming is on Linux once you’ve switched to AMD. My experience with gaming on Linux with nVidia was stressful, annoying and frustrating. And most of the problems stemmed from their shitty Linux drivers. Heck, from December 2024 until recently even their WINDOWS drivers were ass.

I am not touching anything nVidia until the open-source drivers are up to par with AMD’s and it looks like that’s going to take a long, long time indeed, if ever.

Would GNU Taler be useful in this situation?

Austria, what the fuck? They’re even calling it a “Bundestrojaner” and nobody’s batting an eye?

It really does. On the other hand, you can spin this as Ubi CEO is literally, just a little illiterate.
