Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

I explicitly declined to agree to the privacy policy of the company that sold it to me.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.

I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.

P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.

Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I’ve been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.

That’s how aether works kind of.

It’s P2P/decentralised rather than federated.

Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.

Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.

I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.

AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Help someone out of the loop!

I have only been following Monero stuff loosely for a few years. i remever some controversy where there was at least 2 forks of Hevano claiming to be the original.

What was the controversy and resolution there?

I need to find a way to tell Wayland to launch the ereader part of calibre flipped 90° so that I can use my SteamDeck as a tablet for book reading.

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.

Hmmm, I’m hoping the HDR flag fixes HDR in Kingdom Hearts 3 on the OLED SteamDeck.

I’ll test tonight.

Nexus Mods is working on an AppImage version of their mod manager that works perfectly in my testing.

Currently it only supports Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk i think.

I’m excited for it to have parity with Windows Vortex.

There’s a decky plugin that let’s you toggle an OLED black screen with a two button shortcut.

Highly recommend.

It provides security to the network and gives them more power over the price.

The release order does the best job of revealing information in an entertaining way. You can safely just watch cut scenes for the non numbers games (1.5, 2.5 and 3 are mainline most important)

For me playing through is a big nostalgia trip. The writing isn’t great and the gameplay in Chain of Memories is extremely annoying for the first few hours but I am happy to be able to go hang with all of the Disney characters I did when I was a kid and I finally get to play KH3!!!

King Hearts Final Mix (the entire collection)
It Takes Two
V Rising

Bazzite over Nobara everyday.

ARM as host??? There is hope yet for a PineBook Qubes image!

Rosen Bridge as a self custodial solution via Ergo would work nicely for BTC and XMR.

These work perfectly on any chromium browser like Brave fyi.

Is it as good as Grim Dawn?

I would use Bazzite 100%. It’s an atomic fedora spin that aims to replicate SteamOS. It has a KDE Nvida variant, and comes preinstalled with all of the gaming software and optimizations you need out of the box. All that is required to update it is a restart.

Just switch to X11 from Wayland after first boot and you’re as good as gold. (If Wayland works fine with your card it may be a better option because I think it plays more nicely with BigPicture mode if you need that)
