  Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.

  Honestly it’s insane. Esp the I still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

  No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.

  I held off on buying this. Does it feel good / worth buying now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So… You can cheat then.

  Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

  How is it not actually an allow list vs a deny list. They should be clearing apps that can be installed and not the other way around.

  Yeah idk why people are caught up on this. Encryption is good and absolutely fundamentally important to society. And yes, shitty people can use it too, it doesn’t make it bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨V Rising's first big post 1.0 update brings a bevy of additions, combat reworks, and Steam Deck support later this month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading the reviews, I can’t believe the devs don’t make saves forwards compatible or have a migration process.

  Would pick this up but that part is just insane. Unable to migrate your castle to another version of the game with new features…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry. Newborn is a trump card, but even without it you literally are a volunteer.

  Anyone complaining about you volunteering your time esp with a newborn, is not a parent…but ignoring that you’re doing this for free. Thanks for your time, effort, and just happy it’s back up :).

  Social media that can go down for a day or two is way better than a shit hole of advertising and manipulation that is Facebook, reddit, and all the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

  This isn’t a liberal take.

  But I def agree with your second paragraph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really haven’t seen any details. Most comments I’ve read indicate they think you already have to have access to the device and that this is just undocumented opcode calls. I.e. not a remote Bluetooth stack issue or remotely exploitable.

  Given an opcode, as noted in the article (vague on details) and yes, I did read it. This doesn’t give me much cause for alarm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gloves are off and you won’t / can’t talk about what you believe about china in a meaningful way. All the rest is deflection and blame on me. I in fact was and have been open to entertaining more than one viewpoint, you have merely twisted what I’ve said to make it seem like I’m the one who won’t actually have a conversation here.

  That’s why I asked questions which you refuse to answer.

  The conversation here speaks for itself. If you want to blame me for refusing to engage, by all means, do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol when actually asked about the stuff china is doing though you have repeatedly just hand waved it as I won’t go into that. You say stuff to establish yourself as an expert and yet have done nothing but just called me a brain rot liberal. You in fact have 0 concept of my background or upbringing and have just assumed because I have sat on my mobile phone and haven’t taken the time to go point by point explaining what I meant that I am some inferior person with no intellect of ability to think critically about my world view or escape the brainwashing I have been subjected to.

  Please, enlighten me on all the truly had stuff china did, talk about it. Up to this point all you have actually done is speak positively about Tienammen square and hand waved “bad stuff” for china without saying it. Do it. Im worth all this other “time” you spent, but I’m not worth taking the time on actually saying anything bad about china? Still sounds like you aren’t who you say you are.

  Yep. It’s a bribe opportunity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah China, the perfect nation. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In fact, not what I said at all. I said, I agree with your statement that the western media does similar things, but I called out that the ccp doesn’t allow dissent in the media. And you did not actually present evidence that they were worse, just that they did bad things. You basically just ignored what I actually wrote and attacked me for pointing out your whataboutism.

  It is possible to consider one thing as bad while also thinking another is also bad.

  You are likely a CCP bot and I’m conversing with a computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More on with your whataboutism.

  Again I wasn’t saying there isn’t a similar usage of propaganda in western media but also there at least has existed the right and existence of other media which dissents from the state propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To varying degrees, yes. The key is the extent which that is true. china is an exceptionally bad actor here, and has been for a long time. So don’t throw around “everyone has always doing this” to dilute the extent or make it seem less pronounced and “everyone does this to this degree” you’re just engaging in basically whataboutism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China exploits Taiwanese commentators to fuel its propaganda, undermine the island country's stability⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the exploit is referring to taking what is said out of context and using very key clips to drive a narrative.

  It seems that there may come a point where screenless and disconnected cars become more and more valuable. That and jailbreaking cars is going to become a requirement.
