I hope that dude gets his teeth kicked in. Slamming any kids head is beyond evil. Sub-human trash.

I tried running it with lutris but that didn't work, I got an error saying I had a non compatible GPU (getting nms release day vibes lol)

In the end I added starfield.exe as a non steam game in steam, and forced proton under compatibility properties and it worked

It just isn't though. The major currency, bitcoin, was made avalible in 2008, there weren't any scams going on back then. It was meant to be as simple as a decentralised currency that the people had full control over. I think that's a great thing. It wasn't until scammers and grifters saw a new market that could be exploited because it required a good understanding of how it works to be used properly. Scammers dumbed it down and huge centralised exchanges came in opening the door to scams. However it's definitely not a currency yet, I'll agree, it's more of an asset. It's such a shame that a technology that could've helped put people in full control of their money has been diluted into such a shit show. Whenever I hear about a new project touting "crypto based" or Blockchain i wince like I'm sure you do, because NOW it's become a scam, it wasn't originally.

Thank you for sharing this. this looks incredibly useful and although I hope I never have to use it having it installed puts my mind slightly at ease, yknow, just in case.

Lmao, why are you so agressive? It's a packaging format not bloody politics. I never complained about anything, I stated that one package format was broken and the flatpak wasn't. The mere existence of flatpaks does not and will never threaten the traditional packaging method, or it's QA. Flatpaks merely provide smaller developers an easy way to get their application published, as well as end users a stress free way to install said apps. And yes, they can range from good to dogshit, that comes with the territory of leaving it entirely up to the publishers, but I think Linux users are capable of identifying which flatpaks are dogshit and which aren't. Also what do you mean my home dir is probably exposed? Like it isn't exposed when I install a regular package? Remember the steam bug that just completely wiped your install because they made an assumption with a single variable? Buggy software will always exist, at least with flatpak you can limit an apps access to your system

It's kinda one size fits all solution. It allows Devs to build their package one way and have it on pretty much every distro, which is a major sticking point for Linux apps. I don't see why you would use a flatpaks if your distro has the software already though. I use flatpaks alot less now that I've moved to endeavour from fedora. The AUR is a godsend.

Also flatpak doesn't add to dependency hell, the dependencies it installs are also flatpaks and are completely separate from the system. Recently the arch package of steam simply stopped launching proton games for some reason, I thought I messed something up on my system so I rolled to an old btrfs snapshot and it still didn't work. However the flatpak version of steam just works.

Simply put, no. The signal protocol as well as the app is open source. Although I imagine signal would not be on the Australian app store for lack of compliance, which is why you can download the app directly from their website. WhatsApp actually uses the signal protocol, but they close sourced it so there's no way to tell if FB put a backdoor into it

That looks awesome! what model and prompt did you use?

Even with bing chat, it's still dumb as a rock lmao

Nope, and it's awesome. I2P works similarly to tor except instead of being discouraged, there's a torrent client built in. Only down side is as it's an entirely P2P network with alot of hops (more than tor) it's quite slow.

I found an article talking about it but the way it's worded sounds like only the accounts aurora use for anonymous login as well as disposable accounts used solely for aurora are being banned. Ironically because of the blackout, most of the sources it gives aren't accessible so I can't see anyones personal accounts lol.

Sweet, here's the instance agnostic link for those that don't wanna go searching.
