• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing to laugh about. The maniacally evil thing about recall is, that it doesn’t matter what you do to keep your devices clean. If you interact with someone who doesn’t keep his devices clean, which is 100% of us, you’re on recall

  I don’t know anything about HMD so I can’t add to that. However I’d like to correct you regarding the headphone jack. The people that like it so much are generally privacy enthusiasts. Leaving your Bluetooth on makes you easily trackable. Using USB-C headphones helps in that regard but expediates wear and tear on the port by a lot and often makes the phone unusable a lot quicker. Audio jacks generally have very low wear and tear. Hope that helps you understand we’re not crazed evangilists hanging on to the past for the sake of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your point but you mentioned the services that are literally the hardest to find alternatives for. Need to use photoshop professionally, good luck getting around adobe. Sys admin only allows microsoft because he doesn’t want to manage a bazillion different setups, get used to windows buddy.

  If your main motivation is never going through that kind of digital loss, please please please do yourself a favor and do not rely solely on a local solution. If there’s a fire in your apartment, the best nextcloud setup isn’t going to do shit for you. Look up the 3-2-1 rule if you want to be safe.

  I’m interested in the setting and the slower, more organic progression. But I’ve read so many of putting reviews. Like gear that breaks down after a couple uses. Limited saves because it’s linked to some ressource. It all sounds more tedious than realistic. And as an adult with responsabilities I just don’t have the time for tedium anymore. I get enough of that at work.

  I use filen.io as a web drive. Can recommend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tutanota, as specified in my initial reply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I’m a big fan of voting with my wallet. Switch to tutanota for mails, search with duckduckgo, use f-droid as an app store… No one needs google, it’s just somewhat inconvenient to get used to alternatives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just finished Outcast 2 a new beginning and it was an amazing 25 hours. The main story is a super janky patchwork mess that barely makes sense. But the open word stuff, the side quest and the weapon upgrade system make more then up for it. It’s a gorgeous looking, well optimized gem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just started the thaumaturge and it’s freaking awesome. Looking forward to Stalker 2 later this year after they patched it a bit more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For years that game was Warframe for me. Just turn of my brain and run missions I know inside and out while watching twitch from the corner of eye on a second monitor. At some point I wanted to have more time to play other games so I stopped and didn’t find a new cozy game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sand Land. The style is great. Story is pretty cool and well delivered. Gameplay is meh. Feels like a watered down Mad Max.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.
