True, but I have no issue preventing commercial use. I view that as just as good if not better than traditional open source.

My understanding is they’re sending a request to your device that then decrypts and uploads messages, not storing the keys outside your device.

Nah, Google funds them so they can point at them and say they aren’t a monopoly, directing what they do would ruin that.
Mozilla’s perfectly capable of making dumb decisions on their own, they do that plenty

- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 3 months ago:
Difficulty settings are, first and foremost, accessibility settings.
I have to disagree with this. Difficulty settings are at best a bandaid solution to accessibility. The vast vast majority of difficulty settings change the overall gameplay experience, games are far too complex for ‘just make it easier’ to be an appropriate approach to accessibility.
Just reducing enemy health, simplifying enemy ai, etc. can only make a game more accessible as a side effect, it doesn’t address the actual accessibility issues people might have.
I also don’t think games should have hard modes. They should have exactly 1 difficulty the developers balance around.
There absolutely should be accessibility options that have the side effect of making the game easier but making the game easier is the wrong approach to make it accessible.
My suggestion would be stuff like tuning response windows to the results of a reaction time test, aim assist options, visual cues for sound effects, etc. Those make the game easier but do it by addressing a single specific issue, or combination of issues, someone’s dealing with instead of just slapping on a one size fits all solution.

I’m fine with that, dishonored 2 did a really good job of this with its custom difficulty option. I’d argue that games should just have 1 difficulty, developers can balance around that. Let people mess with any of the easy values difficulty modes usually change

Honestly, I wouldn’t wait for valve, they do things on their own time.
Bazzite is basically the exact same thing. There’s a few technical differences but they don’t really matter for a normal user

Yes, source available is distinct from open source. Source available just means you can see the code. Open source allows you to modify and redistribute the code.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
Yeah, you can. SteamOS is basically just a customized arch Linux. It’s what runs on the steam deck, which you can install no astral games on. They integrate really well into the console experience as well.

- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 4 months ago:
Yes, and male birth control doesn’t solve these problems because the only way to be 100% sure is to be on birth control yourself, especially important with huge chunks of the US banning abortions
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 4 months ago:
Earlier trials saw the same thing a few percent tapping out for the same reasons.
A fee percent is quite different from what you said earlier. Basically any trial has a few percent drop out.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 4 months ago:
I’d suggest actually reading the article you’re providing as a source:
Comparing the discontinued men’s study to what we know — or don’t know — about how hormonal contraception affect women isn’t really feasible, experts said.
There’s still research underway to develop a hormonal option, Colvard noted. And many researchers said this trial provides potentially helpful insight.
Also encouraging: the fact that so many men said they would take the drug if it were available. Historically, the burden of controlling pregnancy has fallen on women, Breuner said. But now, the findings here show that may be shifting — and could in fact spur more interest on the part of drug developers.

I doubt you could, power and the pcoe connection would cause problems. The empty shells aren’t really empty, all the cooling for the systems in the GPU module, so the empty shell is necessary for cooling the cpu if you don’t have a GPU. It’s also smaller

Probably because drawing characters with large breasts is often done in a way that’s weirdly sexualized and feels off for the situation. Stuff like clothes being way more form fitting than they should be.

- Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government. 8 months ago:
Oh I’m by no means a conservative, I’m just trying to be descriptive. Conservatives are largely fully on board with ICE rounding up random brown people. They don’t value the 2nd amendment as a means of resisting government tyrany because they aren’t doing it, they’re on the side of the tyrants.
This is precisely the type of tyrany the 2nd amendment should prevent, but because guns have largely become a conservative issue, we’re stuck in the worst possible position of having both a lot of guns and tyranny.
