I pirate everything. If they gain my respect, I then buy it. For example I bought a copy of Witcher 3 I never actually played (because I pirated it).

It’s Signal Foundation’s hostility to open and non-Google platforms that is very disturbing.

Better than USA-based.

All of that is more reliable then an entity based in the US.

I just downloaded a copy in case this also gets taken town.

orange pi looks very promising

It’s more the attitude that bothers me. Signal’s refusal to support alternative appstores and clients is very disturbing. It gives the impression that Signal is a honeypot.

I’m not using Signal as long as Signal Foundation is based in the US. Also Signal is not on FDroid, so I can’t use it anyway.

Probably not, but Telegram is very easy to use.

You know Telegram is secure when every government in the world is trying to ban it.

sad!

he’s future proofing his archive. I have a bunch of 420p tv shows from 15 years ago that looks horrible now.

I use ubuntu because my provider has that by default. It’s not my favourite distro these days, but gets the job done.

I had a similar question: https://lemmy.ml/post/12919434

Docker makes sense if you are deploying thousands of machines in the cloud. I don’t think it makes as much sense if you have your own hardware.

Some services do have 1-line installers with docker, so those might be useful. But they usually have 1-line non-docker installers too.

I don’t have a Deck, but my experience with Linux gaming on the laptop changed dramatically around 2020-2021 when dxvk started to mature. Since then I haven’t ran into a game that does not work in Linux.

dxvk has come a long way.

At this point it’s safe to assume all games work, except those that explicitly ban Linux users via shady anti-cheat software.

promising, thx!
