Inb4 wikipedia is lost to the same narrative control as MSM

Has Signal ever considered implementing any sort of peer to peer message propagation?

What are the chances this will outperform ARM based computers in the next 15 years? Will we get Macbook airs with this in the fourties?

Why are these apps on bluetooth? I'm surprised no one has come up with a way to transmit data over local ad hoc wifi networks, it must surely be more simple if you could make some sort of transient hot spot

down with the EU

The EU is accelerating into a bureaucratic Rube Goldberg machine that does nothing except say the word Democracy out loud and tax their citizens

This insane push for surveillance and privacy infringements could be the catalyst needed for the next state exit from the EU

The only thing I still can't run is League of Legends. I hope someone can figure that out somehow

No just directly in Steam. You can just add a non steam game to your library and select the .exe file you want, and steam will create a c drive environment for each non steam game you add.

In some cases you might have to change which exe file it runs, if you initially run a setup.exe which creates the real exe file you'd want to launch inside the c drive environment folder

Seeing as GrapheneOS appear to be recommended on the newest Pixel models, I wonder if it shouldn't be too difficult to get Arch Linux running on them with the AUR plasma-mobile?

I've found that running non steam apps on steam with the proton experimental compatibility usually just works, it has become my go to solution

Which one?

the majority of the population will happily put on the noose and they will join in on pressuring you to do it too. Don't kid yourself. However, a successful resistance movement only requires like 3% of the population or something

one of my favorite books, great combination of philosophy and adventure. I especially like what reminds me of the vibe I would get from other sci fi and video games from America in the 90s. I also enjoyed his short story in the same universe "A Casino Odyssey in Cyberspace"

I wish everyone would switch to LibreOffice so I can stop having to explain why their documents are formatted weirdly after I edit them

Kim Jong 1337 hacker strikes again

this is what church is for

so what you're saying is that LLMs are like middle aged men, just throwing things out there seeing if they'll stick?

The plot thickens...

I love the steam client on linux these days, especially the compatibility for non-steam games is so great and Ive been using it to play WoW Classic while I have covid

It's antiquated because you would be romanticizing over an organization that has lost its integrity long ago

It sounds like you are deeply passionate about the art of software in general. I am the same way (and also had an MMORPG addiction lol). Now it turns out people really appreciate and will pay great sums for me performing my hobby for them, which is fantastic for me. For many other people I have met though, they get into software because they hear it's a good career move and provide job opportunities. For these people, I totally get that you can just walk away from software

unless you really need a very new version of a piece of software, the safest bet will always be the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. You could perhaps just upgrade your laptop OS with the software package GUI?

Fun fact: You don't really need to install any of the "flavors" of Ubuntu to get the various desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.), you can just install them as a package! (`apt install kde-full`). You can switch between them when logging in.

this has been my experience so far, being 3 years into it

This will be great until we select away our natural ability to reproduce, and then the power goes out and nobody can reproduce anymore and humanity goes extinct in one generation

I'd say one of the best features for private messaging is having disappearing messages. Then you lower your chances of leaking the messages to someone gaining illegitimate access right now, instead of leaking the database at any time in the future

Last I checked Signal has reproducible builds at least on Android, so it should be possible to verify it doesn't have back doors.

counter culture these days is returning to conservative traditions and monotheistic and other long lasting religions

What people do for a living takes up about half of their waking life (and they probably dream about it too), so it will tell you so much about the person. Personally I love my job and what I do, so I really want to talk about matters at least related to it because my life does revolve around it indeed. So establishing some common ground with the other person can really help to start the conversation.

But of course the conversation doesn't have to specifically be about either job through progression.
