Which is better: Junk Store or Heroic?

o7 to the developers, but I can’t help but think the Venn Diagram of people who would pay for this is incredibly small.

Hopefully not a dumb question: If Vulkan runs on anything, assuming their game isn’t a Windows (Xbox?) exclusive, why don’t more people program their games to use Vulkan instead?

What does proton do?

I only vaguely understand it as “thing that makes game playable on other thing.”

(And also I have six versions installed on my steam deck whydoIneedsixofthese?)

Necromancy gone wrong

NPC: My poor husband and child. They were murdered by a group of orcs. Will you help me get revenge?

Britt (the Necromancer): Accept.

Later, at the orc camp.

NPC: My child! My family!

Britt (the Necromancer): Yea, I thought I’d bring them along for the revenge mission.

If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.

Click on “Games” in the top menu bar, then click “Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.”

• It’s DRM-free.
• It’s (one of?) the only platforms that cares about preserving old games.

Signal

Signal supports a manual backup and restore option. Basically, messages are not backed up to any cloud storage, and Signal cannot access them.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp can optionally back up the contents of chats to either a Google Account on Android, or iCloud on iPhone, and you have a choice to back up with or without end-to-end encryption.

iMessage

[iMessage] backups… are not end-to-end encrypted by default. This is a loophole we’ve routinely demanded Apple close.

The good news is that with the release of the Advanced Data Protection feature, you can optionally turn on end-to-end encryption for almost everything stored in iCloud, including those backups (unless you’re in the U.K.).

Google Messages

You can optionally back up Google Messages to a Google Account, and as long as you have a passcode or lock screen password, the backup of the text of those conversations is end-to-end encrypted.

If they actually made that work… respect.

To who?

It looks you’re coming at this in bad faith, so I’ll ignore you.

For anyone else reading, the CIA version basically revises “brutal dictator” to “brutal ‘captain of a team’.”

OP’s saying that neoliberals and the CIA were/are contradicting each other, not that Stalin was a good guy.
