I don’t try and push my weird opinions on my wife lmao. She knows how I feel and understands and does what she wants and that’s okay. My advice is to communicate and respect each other even if you don’t agree and don’t be a controlling dork.

As always I am reminded that governments are run by the tech illiterate.

I wouldn’t give them a cent or negotiate at all either, and the public aren’t going to give a shit about how they’re being tracked.

There are legitimate reasons for not wanting to use Fdroid and their builds are apparently reproducible, not sure what you mean about not being fully FOSS either. https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/

How exactly is Signal anti-FOSS? This might have been a problem before (the article is from 2021) but I checked the Github link in the article and the server was updated 18 hours ago with frequent updates this year alone. I also find the source of funding argument to be pretty flimsy. Though I do agree with the conclusion that federated alternatives are better for privacy. For my personal threat model Signal is fine for me.

No hate though, it’s an interesting read, I’d like to see more discussions like this.

I think it’s a major loss considering the SEO garbage results you get nowadays. But the fault is on Reddit for doing this to themself, don’t forget.

I also really enjoy DCSS and have got the orb out a few times. I hope a true general and traditional-only Roguelike community will pop up soon.

I hope the apathetic masses enjoy their bot infested ‘promoted content’ riddled garbage then. NSFW and any customization will be next on the chopping block until the site is fully neutered for advertisers. But yeah, enjoy bending over for future shareholder greed on all your favourite platforms.

AAA gaming is mostly dead for me outside a few studios that make creative and fun games. I’m so tired of FOTM that are designed to appeal to Twitch streamers. The industry kind of reminds me of superhero movies which will always be able to turn a profit by selling to children. I’d take 60FPS and a low budget fun game over 4K and advanced lighting any day, but I’m not the target audience anymore.

It sure would be nice if development communities would stop locking their content behind Discord.

Thanks for this, I also added this to make the sidebar slimmer and more to the right. .d-md-block { max-width: 400px; padding: 0rem 3rem 2rem 3rem; margin: 0px 0px 0px auto; }
