The problem is nintendo taking down something legal, emulators. Not the content creators sharing it.

Thousands of people (or millions) wouldn't have been able to play certain games if emulation youtubers didn't exist. The alternative is to leave 99% of newbies out and keep it a closed cool guy club in some obscure forum hidden across the web.

I'll make sure it is updated, no worries

This is going into the wiki and you know it

Not a personal preference

In the new instance rule, the only exception allowed has been xcancel

It's outside of our control

Mostly the same as any linux distro. The biggest issue usually are users, since linux gamers usually are tech enthusiasts and understand what they are doing to a degree, but the steam deck is the 1st of its kind to make so many non tech enthusiasts have to dig into linux (because of it comming preinstalled instead of windows)

So that's that. Also steamdeck has specific issues but at the same time is easier to troubleshoot since it is the same system

To add to this, all kinds of fitness trackers are still trackers, and they will sell your data.

I don't have much knowledge of privacy-respecting alternatives, but this post on the GrapheneOS forum covers that for those interested.

Eventually, I'm sure we'll cover hardware privacy more extensively in this community, as it deserves its own guide.

We do have to be strict about this, as this rule comes from the instance and we must comply with that.

Still, avoiding traditional social media in general is a thing I support, so for me this rule is great. And I believe it also aligns with the view of a community who cares about privacy, as X/Twitter does like users data a lot.

Just researched into it, and while I dislike the situation, is not something I see bad enough to delete proton from this post

I'm quite happy with proton and while I don't think they are the silver bullet of privacy, they're still about the best "private suite" of apps you can get with little to no effort

I'll check and correct my post when I get home

Thanks!

I somehow tripped writing this, I also use aegis woops, but I did use authy In the past

My browser recommendation was based on how easy it is to just download librewolf compared to messing with user agent

I'm outdated in that proton situation, I'll look into that

I vote positive on the wiki, we can discuss it in DMs

Good feature. I use signal daily, so this is a nice little improvement!
