I’m not playing. My computer runs Ubuntu and I can’t get decent performance with Lutris.

I think Lemmy is at an all-time low for patience towards non-conformist opinions due to recent events being… upsetting. Give it some time and folks will be more willing to consider other ideas i think

Godsend, thank you

Switching to Ubuntu from Windows is the most controversial thing I’ve ever done. I don’t even talk about it very much, but some of my friends preemptively make passive aggressive comments about it if the subject of OSs come up and jump on any opportunity they find to make a case for Linux being less convenient than Windows. I haven’t felt this way since I tried vegetarianism.

All that’s to say I’m pretty wary of “helping others see the light.” There’s more than apathy out there and some people feel threatened by the idea of someone else taking steps to rid themselves of their dependence on Microsoft and the like.

I just wish the top posts on the meme pages were more than just an anti-capitalist caption and a vaguely related image.

Would you clue me in on what kind of extensions you use and why they’re better that the discord app?

Love checking the modlogs on posts like these to see OP calling someone deserving of being lynched lmao

Is the Android app out yet?

Unsurprising behavior from a community where the coolest person is the one who can put on the biggest tin foil hat. I appreciate the privacy community here but I think the concept itself leads to users decrying anything as insecure just because it makes them feel more knowledgeable.

My non-expert but I just read a book about clouds guess:

Those cirrus clouds are typically made of ice crystals. A plane disturbed them, leaving a contrail of water. Water refracts light differently than ice, seen more clearly at dusk.

It’s weird to me how obsessed some people are with proving to the world that their social media platform of choice is superior. The Fediverse works, we have content, and anyone who decides to seek out a platform that offers what the Fediverse offers can join. Tell your friends about your experience if they might be interested but if they don’t stick with it you don’t have to be all salty about it.

I didn’t get on TikTok because I didn’t like the content, not because of the format. If folks make good videos on Loops then I’m down.

Imagine downvoting on All

Thanks, wish I’d found this earlier.

Did some searching. You’re referencing a podcast in which known propagandist and liar Tucker Carlson claims that an anonymous source of his implies the NSA broke into his Signal messages. Wish you’d qualified that in the post because that’s important context.

Don’t you think it’s way more likely that the guy blew his cover some other way? Googling hotels near the Kremlin or something? You know, because he’s a dumbass?

Is there any reason to believe the message and sender can be read from the data sent to the push service? From my understanding, that should still be encrypted.

Thanks for the list! Sharing this with lazy friends.

Ok, I think I misinterpreted yout comment to mean VPNs are not necessary. Thanks for the clarification.

Would you elaborate on this? Encrypting your traffic and not accessing sites from your actual IP address sounds pretty vital to privacy for me.
