In a monarchy you can criticize the Prime Minister or any other minister in government, but it’s treason to speak out against the King.
What?
The king can go fuck himself.

Because DirectX is more than a graphics API.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX
A fair amount of what used to make DirectX an everything API has been deprecated, but if you are already using Windows stuff for networking and audio, then you may as well use the graphics APIs too.
I do think Proton gets a little too much credit.
Why? Valve has been sponsoring all these projects for a really long time. While wine existed before that, it wouldn’t be anywhere near the shape thats its currently in because gaming was not its main focus. There have been loads of gaming bugs and sharp edges that have been around wine for a long time until Valve put in the money and devs to fix them.
Also if anyone else wrote it, there would be so much savaging of weasel words.
They brag that they don’t retain this data, so when governments request historical data they don’t have it.
They don’t say that they don’t provide it for anyone else to retain, so if they are given the to and from to process the message, and provide this to the CIA to retain then all of this security would be useless but would also fulfill all of the claims here.
No.
We have been exploring techniques to further reduce the amount of information that is accessible to the service, and the latest beta release includes changes designed to move Signal incrementally closer to the goal of hiding another piece of metadata: who is messaging whom.
They haven’t hidden it yet. It’s a goal.
They are referring to message metadata.
Even if they don’t show the content of messages, if they can show that phone number A is sending messages and getting replies to number B then that’s all the government needs.
For the purpose of operating our Services, you agree to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy, as well as the transfer of your encrypted information and metadata to the United States and other countries where we have or use facilities, service providers or partners.
They store metadata, which is distinct from encrypted data.
Are you saying sealed sender is a lie?
https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/
When you send a traditional piece of physical mail, the outside of the package typically includes the address of both the sender and the recipient. The same basic components are present in a Signal message. The service can’t “see into” the encrypted package contents, but it uses the information written on the outside of the package to facilitate asynchronous message delivery between users.
They have a list of encrypted messages, who it’s from and who it’s to, based upon the sealed sender description. If you are using phone numbers then you are not anonymous, and a TLA agency can search known bad numbers even if Signal does not try to build that graph.
The reviews said that it was a better card than the other brand.
Just imagine how bad those must have been!
They don’t know they’ve been ripped off.
Just because our government are a bunch of raging arseholes, doesn’t make everyone else here the same.
No one agrees with their policies, unfortunately all parties keep stepping on our necks so it ends up happening through a lack of choice.
Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.
It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.
Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.
https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck
Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.
It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.
Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.
It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.
I can, but you seem to be confused as to what a Steam Deck is.
if that’s not possible, either work with other nations that the US government wants to work with
Oh, about that…
You do know it is one click to the desktop, right?
It just starts the machine in big picture mode but is doesn’t require you to crash steam to access the rest of the OS. It’s just starting with a controller friendly interface because the primary purpose is gaming but they don’t hide Linux from you.
You can use general purpose one to only run one app 99% of the time, but it’s a general purpose personal computer you’re using.
So they are running Linux? Because you don’t need to hack/root/magic keypress to access other applications.
That sounds like the majority of users. I’m trying to think of how many times I needed to “use Linux”.
I interact with Firefox, IntelliJ, and a few other applications and IntelliJ hides all of the CLI so I don’t have to know git, and I don’t have to know where my files are.
My mother wouldn’t know how to install a driver in Windows, or even how to navigate to a file in Explorer. Does that mean she isn’t a Windows user?
I think you are being overly pessimistic about what counts as a user.
I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…
Where are your files?
They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.
What is happening at full screen
So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.
I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.
I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.
Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.
They don’t run Windows they run Explorer.
Linux is a kernel. They run Linux.
Or do you mean “they don’t run KDE/Gnome/LXDE”?
You pay monthly? I seem to only be able to pay quarterly, with a 1 week turn around required after they issue the bill.
Last quarter I paid Southern £97 for 44m³ of water and Thames £92 to remove 44m³ of waste.
This is a house of 4, 2 adults and two teens.
[Edit] Apparently 250l a day. That feels like a lot, but I don’t have any leaking toilets or anything like that.
Only on the condition that you help guillotine the rulling class.
We didn’t do it properly the first time and look at the state of us.
Disliking paedos eating at Pizza Express doesn’t mean that I don’t have legitimate problems with leeches on society.
As for the quote, you are quite wrong. We criticise the king all the time, and refer to his brother as a nonce.
You don’t mean king, you mean despots can’t handle criticism.
Fuck the king.
