Dyskolos

Amen. I do love LEDs since their dawn and have a big-ass collection. But on every single stupid computer thing? I don’t wanna pay extra just because my mouse can have stupid rgb-lights. Or my damn RAM. It adds absolutely nothing, costs more and has another part that will go broke.

I hate the rgb-craze…

One my Xbox controller’s light is so bright it could power our solar-panels. I had to put multiple Band-Aids on it 🫤

That’s why I try to make dumb things smart, not replace the dumb with smart. Like, make the switch smart, not the bulb.

Do you not?

I really really dig the fuckaround/findout. It paints the try/catch with a more dreadful undertone and reeks of mystery.

I actually always deemed that a quality aspect. If those shitbags use tgram it has a reason. Sadly it’s not really great for the app itself. So he had to do something about it. IMHO the best compromise he could do other than just staying “the bad guy”.

Despite being us-american and from Zuckerberg, it’s an incredibly horrible app. I would not touch this shit with a 10m-pole. It might be e2e, but can I verify this in the source? Oh right.

I meant the restrictiveness towards governments. The pesos and Nazis fucked that up, tgram had to do something or have their ill repute grow even more.

That too. Sadly the restrictiveness was badly abused. Noone really wonders but…that’s why we can’t have nice things.

You don’t say? A cloud-service I can access from all devices plus API and bots is not e2e-encrypted with zero knowledge? I’m shocked. That’s what “secret chat” is for. Literally.

They chose this way as the regular Joe and Jane don’t care for privacy but for comfort. You can never ever have both. Nowhere.

I love tgram for it being so open. And e2e when I need it. I don’t need privacy for when my smarthome sends me notifications about a light I left on or something 😁

How about a cheaper and easier solution? Get a fingerprint sensor, use this one to unlock the database each time you use it. Fast, comfortable, secure. Got mine directly beside the keyboard.

Better than the previous parts? Or at least as good? I totally ignored it so far. Not because of the “woke”-hate but just because the big ones rarely do anything worthwhile anymore and my expectations usually reach ocean-levels currently.

Sure, but it’s still just trusting others. Ok,maybe it’s just my paranoia speaking…

Ok this has some right for existence… Yet,just being oss isn’t always the point alone. Without checking the code myself I still just have to trust.

Wouldn’t trust a gov app in europe either. But then again i don’t trust any app and have them firewalled at least .

True. Those cloud-services allow for mods. But still too laggy, too expensive, too much hassle. And in the end you own nothing again. Like car leasing 😑

But gf now is much cheaper, but therefore has those downsides. But yes. Just a pc somewhere else

It’s an okay-ish solution for people who don’t wanna invest in a pricey pc or that just wanna game from their potato thinclient. No mods kills it for me personally.

If the partner is enjoying games, and especially the same games, it’s awesome. My wife isn’t as fanatic as i am, but has her own share of game-love. Couldn’t imagine a partner that wouldn’t at least get it either.

That makes sense. As someone who never saw the appeal in watching sports, this is probably the same league. But somehow it’s like watching porn when one isn’t in the mood for actual sex 😁

Never watched a stream, never really understood the motivation. But i also don’t consume social media (besides lemmy) or such and am generally anti-social, so that might be that. I would be infuriated if those people wouldn’t do what I would do. Also the chat is… Annoying.

Might wanna contemplate about nvidias geforce now 😁
