Clickbaity headline, but good article.

Walker suggested that American companies could collaborate with European firms to implement measures ensuring data protection.

Simultaneously, those same companies are actively lobbying the EU to dismantle those protections.

Clearly that’s why it’s called DoorDash. /s

Melania first then.

While their intentions are good, this will unfortunately probably lead to them losing their last two domain names.

There should be an option to turn it all off for those who don’t want to be spied on though.

Also, features like remote start could be implemented to function over a local network rather than needing to connect to the internet at all.

With streaming companies owning the content, buying DVDs is just another way of financially supporting the same companies for worse quality.

Even when one piracy platform is taken down, there are new ones launched in their place. Nothing guarantees that DVDs will continue to be produced in perpetuity, just as digital copies of video games are progressively becoming less and less prevalent.

Not interested if it’s on .ml.

Valve is definitely the best and the most innovative, particularly in contrast to Epic’s attempt to bribe their way to success and intentionally ignoring Linux, but even the best have their faults.

It always tastes better with half a can less of water than it recommends doing.

Because after pasteurized orange juice is deaerated and kept in storage tanks for up to a year before being bottled and shipped, it becomes tasteless and needs to be reflavored with ‘flavor packs’.

Compared to most concentrate orange juice, the frozen Minute Maid one wasn’t nearly as sour. The Great Value one tastes terrible, but maybe there’s another alternative… 🤔

Potential evidence being destroyed just by giving the Internet access to it.

I think it’s brainless too, but if people do use it, better for the public good that they use open source platforms that are harder to manipulate versus platforms with commercial, proprietary algorithms.

Wine can be set up in a similar way, but Valve’s default setup is designed to for use with Steam first and foremost.

A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open. A more open approach would have been to write independent driver software for the touchpads.

Valve’s far and away better than Nintendo, but has still designed the Steam Deck to be heavily reliant upon Steam to function. The Steam Deck is priced in a way that anticipates increased consumer usage of Steam, but in isolation of Steam, it would be more usable as a Linux PC if it were more software-agnostic.

Valve’s better than Epic Games, but they still have every incentive to keep users in their ecosystem with DRM. To that end, the Steam Deck’s Proton compatibility layer and touchpad driver are integrated into Steam, rather than functioning independently of it.

Using the Steam Deck is possible without buying any games on Steam, but making Steam the core part of the distribution inherently encourages its usage.

Edit: I like the Steam Deck, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out the aspects of the platform designed to encourage the use of Steam.

Any remnant of Copilot left anywhere on the operating system is still a loss for the user and their privacy. Microsoft still wants user data, so they’re not going to be getting rid of Copilot any time soon.
