- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 1 day ago:
No you didn’t, you asked for an alternative response, which I provided: education instead of prohibition.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 2 days ago:
Sorry but the proposed ways to approach the situation is akin to putting everyone in jail just to be sure, because a handful of people are criminals. I’m a parent myself, so I’m well aware of the dangers and difficulties. Guess what? Those dangers don’t vanish when you hit 18. You’ll just be even less prepared to identify fake ragebait content. Everyone needs to be educated on the matter so that parents can do a better parenting job.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 week ago:
- I was commenting on the availability of ID apps, not on the participation in social media and other services
- Internet access and privacy are human rights. If those are taken from anyone, for example by mandating becoming a big tech customer to access ID apps, it becomes at least a social issue, if not a legal one.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 week ago:
The only official ID apps I’ve ever seen only run exclusively on android and ios. Meaning you can’t partake in any digital governmental services without being a google or apple customer. Which seems at least flawed, if not down right illegal.

Smart. Can’t install Linux if you can’t log out of Windows.
- Comment on US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack 5 weeks ago:
How can you say this with a straight face? All fascist parties have record numbers, workers rights are being targeted across the board, digital privacy is a thing of the past. We’re like barely half a step behind. The oligarchy doesn’t care about states or continents. The EU is on the menu just as much as the US

Yeah, it sounds good until…
Nope

If someone else is in the mood for Skyrim but has done everything in it, try out Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon. It plays like a smaller Oblivion. It really scratched the itch for more Elder Scrolls for me.

What’s the sketchy part tho?

If I remember correctly Evoland 1 and 2 should come pretty close.

I don’t feel comfortable using a mouse I mainly play on PC
You sir, are definitely one in a million

That’s the funny part: MS got MS to do advertising for Linux

For anyone interested in owning their vacuum robot check out Valetudo
- Comment on Yunohost, CasaOS, or Cosmos? 2 months ago:
Cosmos has a comparison chart if it helps: github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server?tab=readme-ov-fi…
Other than that you’ll have to test out what fits your needs best. I use YunoHost and am happy with it, but I don’t expose my services

Is this like a really bad troll?

Good suggestion

I’m playing right now. When Verso tries to recruit Monoco to go to old Lumière, Monoco is like “No thanks, after last time I made a promise to never follow you again”, to which Verso responds “There’ll be lots of fights…”, and Monoco is “I’ll follow you anywhere!”. The delivery is a lot better obviously.

Witcher 3, which I played like 3 months ago. There was this one goofy quest where you had to save a mage by getting a magic book with a weird name that you could abbreviate to GOG. You needed a spell from it to disable the mage’s tower defence and regulatory management system (something along those lines), or DRM for short.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 3 months ago:
Got into Expedition 33 this week. Just got to the point where the huge stuffed puppet learned to swim. Gotta say, I don’t get the hype.
I think they tried to souls-likify a JRPG. But it just feels like combat is one QTE challenge after the other. No other mechanic really matters, at least on normal mode. Also it feels like the main story, which seems fresh and intriguing, barely gets glanced over, while interpersonal relationships get a korean drama level exposition.
I’ll tag along for a little while longer because the voice acting is stellar. The rest is meh IMHO
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 months ago:
Having this info because of legitimate needs to provide a service and a third party processing it with AI without explicit consent for their benefit is a huge difference.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 months ago:
Of course I am referring to info my teammates would know too. Are you inferring that it’s fine that big corporations are profiling you based on what you’re chatting with your friends about?
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 3 months ago:
To all the people in this thread hyping Linux. Please remember that those screenshots capture you as well if you play with windows users. If this becomes a staple and you refuse to be AI fodder, then multiplayer is pretty much dead to you.
- Comment on Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots 3 months ago:
In theory this is awesome. Humans aren’t built for menial tasks. All repetitive monotonous tasks should be automated. However, this doesn’t fit our current economic system. Obviously all automation needs to be taxed, so that we don’t have to live this paradox where each technological advancement is a risk to our livelihood.

AVGN did an episode on that game. He liked the cover too.
- Comment on Getting old and would like a better way to track health the self hosted way 3 months ago:
I use Track & Graph from F-Droid for a similar purpose. I noticed pretty quickly that the data I want to track just isn’t generic enough to find a tailored app for it. So I setup several reminders through the app to enter the various measurements at set points in time each day and get a nice graph to dislay it.

Now more than ever peolple will have to choose between privacy and comfort. And not to be a dick, but now more than ever, people choosing comfort are fucking over people who choose privacy.
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 4 months ago:
Call me a conspiracy nut job , but I honestly think we live in a new age where it’s the other way around. Megacorps are creating a situation where governments are set up to fail and then swoop in to save the day “alien earth” style, so everyone can be forced into lifetime indentured service.
- Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” 4 months ago:
While I full heartily agree with you, I’m pessimistic you will ever reach enough people with these alternatives. Even on privacy forums you hear people fervently defending how banking apps are mandatory. Those will never run on anything that isn’t locked down. The eID proposal for the EU is also dependent on Android and iOS.
- Comment on Ideas 4 months ago:
At the least you would know it’s happening and that you’ve been compromised. A hoster might also be inclined to be a lot more accommodating than you are. And mass imformation requests do happen. You wouldn’t even be targeted if you host locally. The privacy advantages are numerous
