Isn’t this just the tech version of cuckooing?

Illegally using someone’s property to make profit from dodgy business.

Oh yeah, I see now. I misread that.

She went to war with unions and the working class. Destroyed workers rights, used the police to antagonise and dismantle strikes, left towns and cities in economic decline. She screwed a LOT of people. Many hate her here.

I didn’t realise Valve had gone into vaccinations, but Mumps, Measles and Rubella are nasty fuckers.

Was there even tests?

Doesn’t tick all the boxes as it is on Lemmy, but feel free to join us at !degoogle@lemmy.ml

I cannot see this working. Unless it can ask if you have enough anaesthetic and stop when you do not, otherwise, it’ll be an expensive torture device.

Well it’s open source android, if the code is bad, it’s jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.

The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.

I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.

If Russia use them and NATO respond with nukes or anything that will cause major problems, they’ll send their nukes to the West (Europe, US), and the West will send them back. These will be done under orders if they do not hear anything, and very little action will be quick enough to prevent it.

Mutually assured destruction. The question would be who would survive? NZ? South America? Africa? Asia?

I’m fucked personally as I’m in the UK.

I would rather we didn’t masturbate over nuclear weapons because what happened to Japan would be nothing compared to the loss of life on a global scale. It is a good option for nobody.

100%. Would also like to find out more.

Maybe, but DRM free content isn’t exactly shareholder value…

It’s better shepherded than Epic. They probably don’t fill the space because Steam do it better, but you invest more if the return is higher.

The case I’m referring to is in the future if Steam badly enshittified.

Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won’t care. If none do, someone will want to.

It feels like an embrace, extend, extinguish type thing. Taking OS maps data, adding to it for their own purposes, maybe adapting data formats, then taking it away from people. It’s a who’s who of companies that aren’t great for privacy.

Looks very similar to KDE connect which is pretty sweet also: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

Btw. I’ve added you as a mod. :)

I appreciate some of this could be controversial or opinionated so I will try and keep that to a minimum. I will link to discussion threads for each topic so people can dig into the are a bit more and why different things are recommended. This list will be regularly updated.

I want to keep this thread clean, so I’m wondering if it would be better to discuss this in a separate thread.
