I highly recommend looking into Matrix Ansible Deploy, has an amazing documentation and actually works robustly. It will make the whole process of hosting it way easier, I only needed to change like 5 config values, give Ansible the SSH key for my server, and then basically run "just setup-all" from a Ansible docker.

Damn, it has been years since I last played Guitar Hero. We even had a full blown rack with stage lights above our TV in my parent's house.

This holds true for any kind of secure communication you want to do.

Manually handling keys and encryption with GPG is the core of good opsec, and also a reason why 99% of "crime prevention" backdoors are probably not going to do much. But people are lazy, been a while since I saw a drug dealer hand out public GPG keys, ever since Telegram and the like got popular.

Haha, "backlash". Yeah, sure.

People don't give a shit, they will forget that it's happening once news articles move to a different flavor of the week topics.

And the people that get into a choice of "prove with a photo/Id you are old enough or you can't watch this video" will just begrudgingly comply and never think about it again.

I bought a Legion Go last week, and so far I'm really happy with it. The first thing I did was delete Windows and install Bazzite, and from that moment everything was smooth. The larger size is nice, and so far I had no issues running games pretty comfortably.

I mean, Apple is one of the companies that volunteered to the current optional version of ChatControl. They are already sending your messages and photos to EU to scan for "illegal" content.

it's also important to keep in mind that the cybersecurity field has adbanced tremendously, with cloidfare, EDRs, and in general it is now way harder to do anything anonymously without getting caught, quickly. This also males the field of hacking way more difficult to get in, which combined with reduced attention span of younger generations probably means there's not that many bored teens willing to put the time in, and as an adult you have way much more to loose, so for hose who had the skills it would be a lot greater risk.

So, they say that "We have provided enough resources and money so that there should be enough to provide shelters for all of the homeless".

Shelters are saying they didn't get enough resources. That means either someone fucked up the calculation, did a bad job in estomating how much is needed, or they tunneled the money from the program. People responsible for distributing and planning the funds for the program should be the ones criminalized, not the homeless for whom apparently isn't enough space.

Exactly. To me, this explanation sounds like they'll just magically estimate the numbers without really being able to prove it. And that sucks.

However, we can be sure that developers will have their own analytics, that are probably way more accurate and they know exactly how many people have played or installed their game. And I'm betting that this number will be a lot smaller than the Unity "estimation", and people will get even more angry.

Their CEO is the guy who was leading Electronic Arts when it was voted the worst company of the year, implemented first lootboxes and who was openly suggesting to charge people real money per reload.

Outer Wilds is definitely in my top 3 games of all time. I'm currently waiting for a few years to forget as much of the game as I can, so I can replay it with the DLC and in VR.

Meta is not letting people out of it's walled garden. Meta will use our free world as a safari, selling tickets to their users so they can watch and interact with us, monetizing our content, while still being guided (since they can decide what content they see, and how do they see it) and watched by Meta (because they know every move of their users at any other instance) at every step they take outside of it's walls - because they are still from their instance. It will use those safari rides as an excuse to collect as much data about what we do here, unknowing to the people they sent here. In addition to that, you will get 3 billion of people who will just leave trash everywhere they go on our vast open plains, and Meta will eventually just use that as an example of how we can't handle cleaning our space, and use it as a reason why people should go live within their walls - because the walls will still be there, and every step you take within them, even if you're only visiting from outside, will be heavily monitored.
