No thanks. 👍

It pretty much always has been a SteamOS alternative. Personally, I’ve had no huge issues with Bazzite.

Seedvault worked fine for me when I moved phones last year.

Yeah, Ubuntu is really corpo these days, tons of bloat too. I avoid it like the plague.

We don’t know if it’s actually her in the image. While the likeness is similar, it’s not 1:1 and the injuries make it even harder to tell.

Police, sure, but it probably needs to come from instance admins who will have all of the information on the bots sending the image.

Ugh, sounds like this will affect money market funds then.

Absolutely, and I’m not trying to say they don’t own their infra or have the ability to cut off the Molly users. Luckily, if that were to happen, you could use the automated backups to restore back into Signal, since they’re functionally the same.

Regardless, both apps have reproducible builds. It’s the infra that isn’t reproducible.

They’ve been allowing Molly to continue to function for multiple years. Notably, from Molly’s readme:

Molly connects to Signal’s servers, so you can chat with your Signal contacts seamlessly.

I looked over the terms of service linked there and don’t see anything specifically calling out third party clients. Is that elsewhere in another terms page somewhere or is it just not being specifically mentioned?

Point 2 is mostly not true, in that Molly exists and you can do reproducible builds with either implementation.

This incel is still here, huh? None of the safe spaces we mentioned when you asked good enough for you?

hmm, I wonder why you can’t post there… /s

I’m not sure how much they dig, but Alexa recently changed to do everything via cloud, including all recordings and voice processing. It’s definitely at least always listening and phoning home.

This coming from the incel who constantly posts misogynist questions and comments? Definitely not serious. Want proof? Look at their post history and/or modlog. They exist to post misogynistic rage bait.

Eh, Nintendo copyright striking switch emulators right before this release makes me wonder if Switch 2 games can be emulated in the same fashion. If so, then that leaves mainly online multiplayer games that can’t be played, and online switch games are not a great experience.

Once again, this is why I didn’t generalize and said that the PNW is well aware of that fact, and red states have their heads in the sand. I’m not sure how many times I need to say that to make it clear to you that I answered the question appropriately. I specified how Americans are feeling to back my statement of them being aware or not. Do you think the PNW, in general, gets their news from right wing news sources?

It’s definitely not legal, especially if your school is funded by the public. That “free internet and power” is paid by someone, and if it’s the public, it’s kind of a dick move.

They can’t see what’s in your ssh or VPN tunnels necessarily, but they can usually see where the packets are originating from and going to. So if you’re say, accessing it from home directly to the server via VPN or SSH, if you’re not doing so using a full VPN service like Mull, they’ll be able to see the origin IP of your SSH or VPN handshakes, and thus your home IP.

Surely US investors won’t harvest data and/or enshittify the product!

Should have just fired the CEO instead, would’ve saved millions and the company in one go.

Just last week, they were posting job listings for DevOps engineers. Glad the CEO’s bullshit stopped me from even considering it.

Steamdeck is better in every way anyway.

I don’t think I’m the confused one here, to be honest with you, as shown by the other answers and upvotes in this thread. You do not have to specify non-US news to know that we’re a rogue state - plenty of US media reports on it all the same. The question is clearly asking if Americans are aware that they’re now a rogue state, and I answered appropriately.

It seems like maybe you don’t want that to be the case, but my answer still stands: Yes, many Americans, especially in the PNW, are very aware of that fact. Americans in red states [the ones who watch Fox news especially] have their heads in the sand. You do not need to consume any media at all to be aware of that fact, it helps, but you don’t require it to acknowledge it.

I fully understand and acknowledge that we’re seen as a rogue state externally, and am painfully aware, as is much of the PNW. It’s the red states that think “we’re the best country in the world, and in fact, the only one that matters”, which is exactly what my first comment was describing. People in blue states are rightfully embarrassed and are trying to distance themselves from the federal government for precisely this reason.
