Those “many” then have no idea what open source means.

exactly at the time governments are looking toward full control

Isn’t it all the time?

Probably Windows.

Pretty sure everyone understand it’s not about the age.

• You hear that mr Anderson? The sound of inevitability.

I hear here a lot that the AI bubble will burst. And I wish this was true. But is there any indication for it? Crypto and GPU bubbles didn’t burst. I worry that it’s just another Lemmy circlejerk.

HL3 problem is that they want it to be as groundbreaking as the previous titles. The problem with elder scrolls 6 is that even if it is released it’s probably going to be bad.

I won’t argue your point that PCs cost too much nowadays but gotta say you got some really amazing house prices.

Isn’t it true for the developers as well? If the game development lasts 5 years, you have quite a different team and ideas by the end compared to when you started.

Can you give an example? It seems their power and influence were not enough against Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Russia. They even lose their grasp on Africa. China and India don’t look like they care a tiny bit of that mythical power. So we have plenty of examples where their power does not stretch far enough, can you give an example that shows how powerful and influential the West is?

By most of the world you probably mean what is called the West that’s actually only 14% of the world.

What does your toilet need internet for?

As all the sane people do.

You can play Bloodborne via an emulator.

“attitude” which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your “attitude” is < 0.0 you can’t downvote.

The math here is hilarious.

Again, that’s not some theoretical topic. They can block most VPNs, they do so in China, Russia, Iran. And there are no riots on the streets, their corporate overlords don’t do anything against it. One of the reasons is that they do allow ipsec for corporate clients. Are you a corporate client? Do you use ipsec for vpn? Are there riots on the streets for this censorship instance?

It’s not some theoretical topic, it’s the reality for China, Russia, Iran. They do block commonly used VPN protocols, so people now use VPN with obfuscations. Some work, some doesn’t, some stop working as time goes. So when people say “Ha-ha, I’ll just use VPN”, it will help you for some time but the trend is they will make it a problem for you, better start preparing before it happened.

What vpn obfuscations do you use? Because you know they’ll block vpn next.

Remember subreddits going dark and people leaving reddit. Hahaha how did that work out ?

We are on lemmy now, so I don’t get your point here.

None of this has anything to do with Signal itself, which is as secure as it gets.

Didn’t I say that at the start of my questions? What’s your point?

server would catch and reject it if it’s fingerprints don’t match the previously known good copy, or a public version

If I understand you correctly, you mean that Signal app checks itself and sends the result to the server that can then deny access to it? Is that what Signal does and what makes it difficult to spoof this fingerprint?

I don’t think you answered any of my questions though since they weren’t about Signal.

Now you’re just coming up with weird things to justify the paranoia

I’m just asking questions about security I don’t know answers to, I’m not stating that’s how things are.
