Dark Arc

flatpak for something as low level as a VPN is just not a great use case. I say that as a huge proponent of flatpak.

s/you/one/ I don’t think it’s really about YOU in particular, just “you” the author or “one that is saying things like this.”

Another example, “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime” isn’t about “you” it’s about the concept of “an individual (that might be the reader).” This phrasing seems to be more agreeable with some people and possibly there’s different tolerances geographically.

I’ve tried to use “one” in place of “you” to remove this ambiguity but it’s at times uncomfortable to type lol

Might want to check your sent mail to see what all is in there … Maybe your account got hacked and used to send spam (?)

I’m surprised, I was pretty sure anything with Battleye flat out rejected virtualization.

I thought Destiny used Battleye but I must be mistaken on one of these points.

There’s nothing to suggest they haven’t been able to spare the resources or hire more component people.

Hiring more people to work on new products is often a better route than hiring more people to work on the same product as well because there are fewer toes being stepped on.

A company can do multiple things at once.

It’s basically just pihole AFAIK but for the VPN.

AFAIK, Windows firewall is perfectly fine, usable in commercial spaces, etc. You’re probably going to be getting into more “hobbyist” firewalls even if you do find one … and a firewall isn’t something you particularly want that with. You want something that’s well designed and well maintained.

(I say this as a guy that has run Linux on basically everything for … over a decade)

If you’re going to use Windows … just use Windows firewall. There’s no real reason that I can think of anyways to replace that one component with something FOSS.

I don’t think there’s a way currently, but I’d definitely like one.

The only thing you can really do is create new communities and wait for them to grow.

My hot take: hostile reads are in pore taste. It’s unique to the internet, and we need less of that.

Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about this. Chances are you’ll replace your phone way sooner than any of this will come back to bite you. If it was bad enough to be a real problem, there would be much bigger sources talking about it.

I mean, I think the point is to know whether it’s the loudest users or the majority of users.

I do think there’s a serious problem of removing the human element though. Ticking off 20% of your users might not be a big problem … unless those 20% of your users are your biggest advocates. That’s where I think Mozilla at times loses the forest for the trees.

I don’t particularly care…

It sucks for people that live in countries that Sony doesn’t sell to … but also Sony just doesn’t sell to those countries.

Ultimately they made people use an account, something that’s long been extremely standard behavior.

I think people are overreacting, particularly those that are in a situation where it’s just “create a free account with your throw away email address.”

I think we’re probably a lot further than that.

I wouldn’t … mostly because it discourages you from remembering/memorizing your password, and that’s not something you want to do.

FWIW: I think the local password manager only folks are a bit overly paranoid (and most folks I’ve met of the mindset end up using syncthing or something like that anyways which is basically just Proton Pass with extra steps … so I wouldn’t worry much about that side of it).

Presumably they can overwrite the file (and the file is synced to their hard drive via one of the clients, Proton will back-sync the edits made on their computer to your drive).

Cool! It Takes Two is a great game; hopefully this lets more people enjoy it!

I hope so
