This is comical.

Nobody should say it imo and I mean nobody, some words can just be left in the past.

Fuck no. It’s all disgusting.

I just want rainbow transparent tech back. Let me feel like I am still in the early 2000s again.

All data is routed through somewhere you don’t have control over at some point. If everything is encrypted then you are fine. You could setup a vps and proxy through that instead of Cloudflare, but you are just relying on the vps provider to protect any data then rather than Cloudflare.

The only real way to be completely private is to just avoid connecting to the internet at all, but that’s not really feasible. Just get to a point where you are comfortable, you’ve already done more than most to protect yourself (as much as you can without it getting silly anyway). Good job!

There’s plenty of ways to add more functionality with user scripts, also lots of front ends to pick from.

Yea if you have a potato pc then vlc is probably the better choice, mpv is built to perform on newer hardware. Although, I have never tested as I don’t have a low/old spec PC laying around anymore.

Its worth it to try, it’s much faster than vlc and highly configurable.

Who is using vlc when mpv exists?

Linux is not getting exclusive builds anytime soon, in our lifetime I’d wager. So Windows builds would still exist anyway, so it would make no difference having native Linux builds, it would only be a bonus. Besides, if Linux somehow eclipses Windows to a point developers don’t support Windows anymore, then I’m sure there would be compatibility layers or whatever built to run old Linux games on newer hardware too.

The laws to ban “AI”, you mean?

Abandon nvidia. Buy amd/intel gpus.

Fantastic ahaha

Absolutely. You are right, the initial uptake is more important right now. Most of the Linux market share on Steam is the Steam Deck right now.

Where’s the source for that? Every statistic I can find puts Linux at about 4% (never above 5 in history) and specifically for Steam, it’s at 2.69%.

Yeah, but I mean when making a decision to natively support Linux, it becomes more likely to skip it as “proton can just handle it”.

So it’s likely we won’t see more native development until Linux desktop adoption is much much higher.

I’d like native builds really, but this kinda discourages that. Then again though, with tiny market share Linux has, it’s understandable devs don’t support it natively. It’s also good to not have to manually enable Proton everytime too.

Oh and I suppose this helps with adoption, one less hurdle for someone to jump through to just play games from their library.

A very nice, simple webpage too.

Of course not… people should still do regular backups.

Nobody decided it was better, there’s literally no reason to defend it’s removal. It doesn’t exist because the phone companies wanted to sell their wireless earbuds, that’s it. Anything else they tell you is bullshit.

Why are you trying to justify not having it? You can still use your wireless buds if you want if the port exists, you can still use your USB-C earphones or adapter if you’d like. It can exist in harmony along with other features, like it did for decades before capitalism called for more profits.
