The ACLU is a freaking joke, not sure why you’d trust them. They’re literally making up excuses to try to prevent this from passing. Makes you wonder about their reasoning.

I genuinely wish nothing but the worst for Denuvo. Scum of the earth. DRM sucks, I do my best to avoid games with Denuvo.

Let’s hope it passes this time. The “controversy” seems to be the typical, forced nonsense. It’d be nothing but a win for children’s privacy and mental health.

What I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter where the information is. If it’s absolutely crucial information, archive it, but if it disappears from Reddit or wherever, it’s not like someone else will be incapable of asking again, here or elsewhere.

At this point, I actively encourage people to boycott this thing. Steam Deck is better anyways.

A good first step. FOSS projects have GOT to stop using Discord as their primary engagement and documentation method.

Eh, if the information already exists on the web somewhere, why reiterate it? Seems excessive to insist on asking on the Fediverse unless that information can’t be found on a search engine or through AI.

I agree entirely. An argument could be made about native Linux releases being too much but most games run with Proton if the devs don’t intentionally cripple it through kernel anticheat or other arbitrary limitations.

Privacy is not necessarily anonymity. Signal uses a phone number to prevent spam and DDOS attacks on their network. Session doesn’t do this and got wrecked by DDOS attacks to the point where most of the major groups are pretty much dead.

Use Signal to talk to people you know. That’s what it’s for. You don’t use it for anonymous chats.

That could be what they’re waiting for.

However, I do not believe SteamOS is going to be the silver bullet people think it is. I’m somewhat of a fanboy of Valve but SteamOS is really only good for a console-like PC experience.

People who want to ditch Windows need to look at Linux as a whole, not just SteamOS.
