I guess people just trying to do things with what they have. I had a friend who plays LoL on a Mac. She also used Steam on it but there were very few games.
True though point being here Steam is a PC platform so it doesn’t have ARM games, it has ports of them. So yes, unless you use some kind of emulator, ARM Macs won’t run Steam games let alone Steam.
I did not say this is about Macs having few games, it’s about the microprocessor architecture, hence x86, ARM etc. ARM is still not powerful enough to handle bigger games, unless the devs specifically design their game for ARM, it won’t run. This is not about game engines can compile for every operating system, it’s about the architecture the game runs on. Also, game engines don’t magically compile your game designed for Windows to other OSes, you still need to use native libraries, which technically makes it a port.
There used to be many AAA games for Macs, like Call of Duty and GTA. They don’t port their games anymore because Apple don’t care about gaming and don’t use powerful GPUs on Macs. Also, if Apple will only produce ARM Macs from now on, of course they won’t get any of the games because ARM is completely different architecture and devs won’t bother with it because they need to hire people specialized on ARM.
ARM will probably become more powerful in the future but it’s not something so soon. I’m talking about maybe 10 years? Anyway, there is also RISC-V and game companies are more interested in this than ARM.
Every image and video result in Brave Search is now served by Brave. Users no longer need to choose between Bing and Google for image and video search....
It’s not just about Chrome though. With this they can force websites to use this API by intimidating them with not giving adsense money. And that website will deny your connection because you don’t use Chrome.
Hopefully EU will step in since this is basically abuse of dominance.
For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.
I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.
With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they’re doing, and...
Only for Chromium based browsers so something like ~80% of worldwide usage. Starting with Google products however also the websites that want to use Google’s codebase, a lot of them. Unless they change it against this development.
I am not comfortable that signal depends proprietary google library. However, I find that Molly lags significantly behind signal (around 1 to 2 weeks, so maybe not as significant as I thought), but I am just concerned that if there is a security fix in signal, molly will not be able to react as fast....
How do you backup SimpleX? Considering you changed your phone or factory reseted, can a normal person continue to contact their previous list? They don’t have a problem with Signal since it uses the phone number. Can I convince my family / friends on SimpleX, as I barely managed it on Signal? Because SimpleX looks much nicer and I’d love to use it.
I see, thanks for the reply. I guess this is still not so viable for tech-illiterate people, unless the devs find an optional and more streamlined process for this. I barely made people use Signal, they couldn’t managed Matrix for example.
I agree. Though I think 1v1 on Matrix is fine if encrypted prior, but I mostly use Matrix as tech news/forum. Federated services are not good for privacy anyway, they are not meant to be.
Currently I tell people to install Signal if they want to message me, I guess it would be a couple people for SimpleX. Most of my Signal list came when WhatsApp ToS made it to the news, some of them uninstalled Signal after a while but I’m okay with it. Well, I’m happy with Molly-FOSS for now. I would love to use SimpleX but it’s something.
That’s a wanted feature I guess but I doubt if they will implement it.
Did you check FluffyChat? Not sure about all the anti-features though.
Well, I installed it some time ago but haven’t really used it. Thanks for the offer but no need to expose your privacy here, even with incognito mode. I must try it with someone I know first anyway.
I guess that’s a common misconception with the federated services. Yes you can own your data if you join the federation with your own server, but once you write something on a community, it’s federated and on other servers from that moment. This is the best way to keep forums intact as long as possible, so years later someone can check those and find whatever they searched for. Reddit was great as a forum however after the recent incidents people deleted their posts and unless someone recorded that page on web archive before you won’t find anything when someone redirects you there. What people should know here, federated services are meant to be anonymous, not private.
Again, no need to expose anything here, and well, I’m not much of a talker anyway. :)
It’s fine to talk here, as long as it isn’t something personal.

I think that’s a phase and it will pass. The sorrow is fresh. I’d recommend find yourself some interesting communities and browse the subscribed tab instead of all.
I currently use Manjaro as my daily driver, but it is bloatware to be honest. I want to switch to more minimalist distro so i ended up thinking on Void. So any advice? How is package manager? Community? Softwares? Documentation?
