What law? My bank will (and has) reversed charges.

Lots of American defaultism in this thread. I only want to state that outside of the US things can be different with regards to banking.

For example, taking up debt is discouraged, while in the US it is encouraged to get a good “credit score”.

You’re in America, right? This isn’t necessarily true everywhere.

I didn’t even know they had a client. I do everything via their website.

Yes, but that’s not what i mean, i mean other non steam software. Software developers will follow wherever users will go. And they will bring their mechanisms to protect their proprietary software.

It didn’t feel right when I wrote it, but English isn’t my first language. Thanks!

I don’t agree with number 2. Ubuntu had always been the ““default”” when Linux was the target. They must be scrambling at Canonical right now.

This could lead to some sort of controlling mechanism that will check if your OS is actually SteamOS, otherwise some kind of DRM would prevent you from playing online for example. I’m wary.

Also people are forgetting that gaming isn’t the only thing people use their computers for. They are convenience devices. They want to game on the PC they also use for other things. They will not switch for gaming only. Companies who sell software will see this and start piling on their controlling mechanisms, tracking, … More proprietary things will come, I mean games already are, and they are not in the spirit of Linux.

I’m bad at expressing my thoughts, but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.

Like IBM and Red Hat!

They applaud it even.

It’s called “Wellbeing” and will be available in the Settings app.

GNOME has a screen recorder built in, but I use OBS because it’s a swiss army knife of (screen) recording.

WinDirStat, Notepad++, Greenshot and Filelocator pro lite (aka agent ransack) are my default programs to install on windows machines.

Criminal matrix needed you to buy access for thousands of dollars, cool matrix is free and open to anyone. Technology isn’t even the same.

Haskell packages every other day…

Odd, maybe it’s time to try again? I use CanvasBlocker, very apt name 😄

Just to be clear, I use Firefox.

You could also whitelist websites probably, so it works unless you explicitly tell it not to.

Yeah, but which…

I installed such a plugin after reading about fingerprinting many years ago and have not ran into any problems yet. What issues have you encountered?

Surely the communication of the device could be monitored and analyzed?

Oh my god, is that an unadulterated picture?
