What? Authoritarians need their cattle for their system to work? Who’d have thunk?

They are welcome to do both. Immediately stop selling and after a X number of days allow refunds at the publishers expense.
To be fair, that was likely some first level support reacting to you trying something that is not supposed to work, as in not supported (playing on Linux).
How the strategy pans out after those talks we will see.
Well, it is freshly made.
That’s a pretty sound. Very nice work!
It is. I really like the direction of the steam deck. A PC that’s very open, but still is able to hide most complexity from users that don’t care for that.
They already are. Just shut off from unauthorized (read:your) grubby hands.
Yeah, was thinking about joining the room to see what is written. Not what was asked.
But your username and server will be seen and could potentially be noticed by someone you don’t want.
I disagree. There is nothing stopping that as it is. What this really does is remove one more level of control from the end user on their device.
That is exactly what I meant with that. Less control for you means more control for the banks/app creators.
I myself also want to let go of the likes of Google. It’s a pretty bumpy ride, but better than a future where the Tech Bros are in control.
Let’s hope we don’t have to.
Very good. I don’t like using apps for every little shitty website like discord or WebEx either.
Just know that this is a step forward in the direction of making it technically possible to force people to usw the app. Ask yourself if you trust them to not try and profit from this.
You do you
I don’t.
I’ve seen people pay with something like that, but mostly it’s like an electronic checkbook. But yeah, browser is sufficient.
Oh! With “get around it” I meant cash, not outdated software.
I don’t know what you mean by that. Do you mean you rather use google pay?
Okay, Rust does look pretty cool and I am trying to learn it, but this makes me hesitant.
Also, did they rewrite it themselves or are they making Gemini do it and just didn’t encounter bugs yet?
So no banking apps for you? I agree that this is shit, but pretending we are not hit by this is not helping.
Also, I don’t really use banking apps anyway because they already pull similar shit and I can get around it. For now.
Less repression from China I presume. Heh.
Well, we’re doing both so it’s okay.

It IS really hard to understand what someone is going through if you’ve never been in that position yourself, and even then it’s hard.
On the other hand: You never know when to attribute a behavior from someone to malice. And it’s also very easy to stop working on oneself when not pressured in doing so, especially for addicts.
So yeah, a bit of banter is necessary.
