Not necessarily. That man has proven he cares about his legacy. I’d severely doubt he hasn’t come up with provisions to try to prevent that from happening.

Valve is simply the last major company in this industry that I still like. Imagine that! A company makes bank off of treating customers and employees right! What a novel concept!

First, Apple with Liquid Glass. Now this. We are so back.

But PROTON is the honeypot, right???

UAD or Canta. Two really good options for phones you can’t run a custom ROM on.

We still have a long way to go but we’ve already come so far!

Its pretty nice to have a space where we just chat about games, I have to admit that!

I’m just speaking common sense here, dude. It’s common sense, and if you do any ounce of research, you’ll see the exact same thing that I’m saying.

Coming up with a solid and strong master password is one thing. But trying to come up with some variations of a master password that you use across all your different sites is inevitably going to result in predictability and predictability is poor security.

Again, common sense info that you’ll find if you do any ounce of research, but it’s obvious that you have neither done your research nor do you want to do your research. You just want to sound like you’re smarter than everybody.

Group playlist? I’ve never used that feature, but I know you can add things to playlists on the web version, and you can make those playlists public as far as I know.

Not new, but they’re great if you enjoy profile customization, more emoticons/stickers, or Steam Deck stuff (keyboard themes and startup movies).

A lot of people are unfamiliar with a LOT of features that Steam offers. It’s a very robust PC gaming social network (complete with a “status” sort of activity feed), player-run groups with Discord-like group chats and themed review curators, full market of trading cards and gems that can be sold for a few cents of credit or traded to make badges, a leveling system that unlocks more features and profiile customization options…

That’s just scratching the surface. I love using those features on a daily basis and encourage my Steam friends to do the same. I’ve managed to build a small circle of friends where we post our activity, share content for games, chat about upcoming titles, etc. I wish more people used those features!

Considering the fact that virtually every expert in cybersecurity and cryptography agrees that you need a password manager, it definitely is true. Your issue is that you think you know better than everybody else… Let’s just hope your arrogance doesn’t cost you your accounts because then you’ll be getting a whole lot of “I told you so” from most folks.

Good luck making passwords that are both memorable AND resistant to even basic brute force attacks. Only way that happens is through completely random generation via a password manager.

The only limitation I’ve seen is the inability to download for offline listening. Other than that, especially on Brave, I get fully ad-free listening without any issues aside from a couple seconds of pause in between where the ad breaks used to be.

Just use it as a PWA from a Chromium browser. I run Spotify as a PWA in Brave and get free, ad-free music. It’s the ideal way, IMO. Then again, I only use Spotify for discovery. I buy my CDs and Bandcamp albums, I will always prefer ownership over streaming.

Don’t bother using Tor Browser or Librewolf as your main. They’re fine as side browsers for dedicated use cases but as daily drivers, they’re the direct opposite of fine.

Can’t speak on Floorp or Zen but I do enjoy Waterfox for what it is. Not as strong on its privacy protections as LibreWolf is but way more usable.

It’s not just a matter of memory. While our brains might be able to come up with one or two strong passwords/phrases on their own, there’s too much room for predictability and when that happens, you’d be no better off than if you used the same password for everything.

Decent chart but I’d argue that Proton is objectively the best of the cloud options. Aside from one or two features present in Bitwarden and other competitors, Proton Pass has an equally robust feature set, a great privacy policy, a solid reputation as being a company with great encryption implementations, and the aliases make it 100x more useful than it already is.

Bitwarden couldn’t get me to switch from Keepass XC. Proton Pass got me on board within a week of its launch.

For calendar, I just use Proton Calendar. For notes, it depends on what sort of notes. Quick ones for reminders, jotting down a thought, etc. I use PocketPlan, which is an AIO notes app, todo list, birthday reminder and shopping list app that’s absolutely fantastic.

No, because I don’t know enough coding to do so. I am learning, though, and I do tend to research software before I install it, even from trusted repos.

I’m not saying I support this legislation but I’m really sick of the “parents should be parenting” excuse. Parents can be doing a great job with their kids and those kids will still see porn because of the way platforms push things (not to mention the ease of access of porn, which just needs to be outright banned).

The only solution, barring well-written legislation, is to not allow your kid to have a smartphone until they’re late teenagers, and ensure their access to computers is restricted to a public room, with appropriate monitoring.

That’s my plan whenever I have kids. However, something tells me a lot of people on Lemmy will take issue with that approach.
