The thing that always bothers me about people saying consoles are a good deal as the hardware is cheap compared to a PC is just that it gets more expensive really quickly with software. Particularly if you get a digital only console it only takes a few games until you’re at the price of a PC. I just can’t justify buying a locked down system anymore.
There is potentially a world in which you want to see ads because ads themselves do technically provide a service. You do want to know about things you care about and would want to buy… you just don’t want it obnoxiously shoved into your face all of the time in psychologically manipulative ways.
I guess it would contribute to the confusion too. Works on my computer.
I saw a warning once a while ago on Firefox… and completely forgot this was a thing until I saw this post right now. I’ve had absolutely no issues. I guess I’m lucky…?
Sounds like the film studios are discussing crime 🔎.
I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call a company with 1000 employees “small”. It’s not the behemoth that something like Google is, but like… that’s a good chunk of people.
That’s fair, but IRC also tends to leak information about users to everybody. They’re maybe bad in slightly different ways, but frankly if you care about privacy that much you probably shouldn’t use either, at least not with additional protections.
How has fame changed you?
Or maybe… How is discord any worse of a privacy nightmare than IRC? I love me some IRC, but it ain’t exactly a bastion of secrecy.
Maybe not on here, to be fair, lol.
Death Stranding is one of my favourite games, but it’s definitely not for everybody… I’d recommend giving it another go at some point, but don’t expect it to change too dramatically.
I fucking loved Hollow Knight but I put it down right before finishing it and… god… I’d have to start all over again T_T
I was never very good at nethack, but the 3.6 nerfs felt very mean lol.
XCOM games all kind of have a problem where you can really screw yourself long term with a bad mission or by researching sub optimally. It’s kiiiiind of awesome because it raises the stakes of the game… But I don’t want to restart and play another 40 hours or whatever T_T.
Wow. Where do you leave off? It’s not a super long game so I’m a little surprised… But there’s definitely parts you might lose interest in.
Yeah, that’s my main concern. I believe the Immich developers have said they have no desire to implement it, though… Which is fair enough, it doesn’t work for my desired use case though.
I want all data to be encrypted before it even reaches the server. Yes, I don’t want to trust even my own server for my image backups :), particularly since I would want to use something like Immich to provide photo backups for friends and family and I don’t even want to technically have access to their unencrypted photos unless they explicitly share them. I kind of want the attack surface for my photos to be as small as practical too. It’s almost certainly worse to have them available on my device unencrypted than a dedicated server, but it’s worse to have them unencrypted on both (and I want photos available on device so, thems the breaks).
I get that a lot of people won’t care about this and that they’d rather be able to run the image recognition features of Immich on the server and stuff, but I don’t think it’s entirely unreasonable to want encryption for this. If nothing else I’d love to be able to back up photos for friends and family and legitimately be able to tell them that it’s encrypted and I can’t see any of it. It’d be even sweeter if they could do image recognition on device and sync that metadata (encrypted) to the server as well.
I’m kind of disappointed by the lack of encryption. It sounds great, but I don’t want to trust the server.
There’s surprisingly few standalone email clients for normal people on desktop platforms as far as I know.
