I did not say otherwise.

I think everyone should be held to the same standard. We can yell at Firefox a bit less. We should yell at Brave a lot more.

I don’t know what you’re on about. There is no keylogger and I don’t have any issues with the engine unless it’s some weird ass “chrome experiments” style website which I couldn’t care less about.

Most browsers don’t allow you to easily toggle on and off certain privacy features on a per-site basis

I don’t know what “certain features” are. LibreWolf lets me easily enable WebGL on per-site basis and uBlock could always do that anyway. I don’t need to touch anything else.

Origin is free on Linux.

Yes, and you can also toggle everything off via config. That does not matter, it’s still a scummy move that should be ridiculed. How, exactly, is a dashboard that toggles some settings on or off is worth 60 dollars? It’s not “paying for convenience” it’s a tax on tech incompetency.

No, talking about semicolons and tabs and spaces for the umpteenth time is not how we build real skills, and you shouldn’t waste your time “thinking” about it. You should run a linter that will format it for you and you should choose formatting rules that everyone working on the codebase in the future would be mostly OK with. Splitting hairs about when to insert a semicolon ain’t it.

Yet people keep recommending products by this scummy company and pile on Firefox for slightest missteps.

This is quite literally not how it works. That’s why reviewbombing is a term that exists. Not to mention that both games have won multiple awards and are generally universally acclaimed.

The first one is 83% positive on Steam, second one 92% positive. Who’s “most people” here?

someone will probably make a replacer mod eventually

oh ffs. this is rage/engagement farming to get internet clout from the reactionary anti-ai hivemind. I’m not a fan of it either, but can yall handle a bit of nuance?

the project is almost 30 years old. it might be older than the topic starter. it’s the original maintainer at the helm. he probably has more experience maintaining this tool you all depend on (for free) than most of the complainers have in total. stop posting some fucking mastodon screenshot and pretending this is the first regression and/or issue rsync had in 30 years https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/rsync.

contribute instead of whining. no, forking the old version, changing the readme and making a post on socials to abandon it later doesn’t count.

If you don’t trust the guy who “literally invented rsync in 1996” to do right by his project which he has been doing quite all right with for the past 28 years, then I don’t know how to help you. I’d like to put forward an insane idea that he might know what he’s doing and is not vibecoding with a blindfold on and a beer in his hand.

yes

You literally can keep everything local, encrypted and air-gapped, without it ever seeing outside world.

OK, but I cannot trust the gov to not make it illegal for the average person to use real encryption (even on one’s own hardware)

A law like that would be unenforceable. Nobody knows what’s running in your closed save for police raiding your house (at which time they would also gain access to your physical photos)

Games will work fine on Debian as-is, but if you want latest-greatest-optimizesest the get either Nobara (stable, based on Fedora) or CachyOS (rolling, based on Arch) Or if you enjoy pain - Bazzite (immutable)

yes

same. i rarely refund tiny games like that, but I just did not vibe with it all, even though I wanted to

from the same genre only Pistol Whip comes to mind. the rest are not better IMO

wdym “borderline”

Seems like a worse version of https://www.parseword.com/

The layout is broken on my phone, the keyboard doesn’t even fit the screen
