• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  Some people have to use pills their entire lives. I take some for my disability. They make me more patient and less excited/stressed. They also reduce episodes in which I might harm myself or do things I regret. I am not my disease. I am me, and the medicine is like using crutches for my mind.

  I can not solve my issues by talking to a therapist, so medicine is a requirement.

  I find it kinda idiotic not to accept medicine that will make things better for you. It’s irrational. I don’t blame you for feeling it this way, I am not sure if this is a gendered issue, but as a man I took it quite hard when I had to start taking meds, it was as if I had a weakness and was less than my peers. “Men are supposed to be stoic and tough” (I have since changed perspective)

  Take your meds, no-one will give you a medal or appriciate it if you don’t. You are also not weaker if you take them. It just makes life easier, like a good bed or a good home. Is having a good home a weakness? “What? You can’t survive on the street? You pussy!” /s

  See the irrational way of thinking? Any comfortable choice can be called some form of weakness. So then the queation becomes: Why choose to have difficulty when nobody gains from it?

  Basically using a cryptowallet as a canary. Cool idea

  I am not sure if this is true, maybe I am misunderstanding something. I use GrapheneOS and can use all banking services in Norway just fine. GrapheneOS does have a translation layer or something like that for Google Play Services, is that what you are thinking of?

  Can you elaborate a bit on the google and apple servers for authentication? My impression was that this system uses its own platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone in Norway has one, well like 99,99% or something. It is a requirement for banking.

  It is used for all banking services in Norway. When you get your own bank account at 13 or something you also get BankID.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are correct, but i’d like to expand a bit on how it could be solved.

  It requires that all major social networks use BankID for all traffic from Norway.

  Bypassing it would require a VPN, which is a simple hurdle.

  But the major win here is that parents will enforce this. Parents can point to this law and say that they have to be old enough. As long as enough parents enforce this law and the VPN requirement is there, then it will probably be effective enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying you might be right, but this could be solved with a simple API that returns yes/no for the age check, without providing additional information.

  I have the game installed now 😀 I like that all steps go towards a goal of some sort.

  Found a tiny typo with the name for one of the hairstyles. If you search through your codebase for “adn bun” you will find it. Its probably supposed to say “and bun” 😊

  By the way, I got such a good impression that I became a BMAC contributor, looking forward to testing it!

  The game looks great! I really like that you don’t rely on GPS, because of privacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am no Microsoft fanboy, but I get the impression people are a bit overly skeptical here.

  I think this is fairly obvious. They have no further use for it, they can either let it rot or they can do the tiniest bit of effort and get some positive PR. It might also just be as simple as an initiative from some employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those games were great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems a bit tedious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t tried cloud sync yet. Relatively new to Heroic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer GOG, due to being being DRM free.

  On Linux I just use Heroic Games Launcher to install the GOG games and launch them. Its just as easy as proton on Steam

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If ypu haven’t triedbir, you should try Heroic Games Launcher. Makes it just as easy to launch GoG games on Linux as Steam games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune: Awakening – Exclusive Gameplay Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks good! I am a bit worried about it being an MMO, but Funcom has a lot of experience with making them. So might be good?

  I’m especially looking forward to the interactions with sand worms and the thumper mechanics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the scenario in which your computer is forgotten or stolen, it would offer some comfort knowing that the data on the computer is not accessible.

  We have a “policy” in our household that everything that has personal data should be encrypted. That is just for cases in which we lose the device or it gets stolen. That makes it a purely financial loss, and not as invasive / uncomfortable.

  But on the other hand my household are not average users. So it might not work well for other people.
