It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.

If you really care maybe try something like Tails.

They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.

I don’t know, sounds like their problem.

Picking up smoking is a conscious decision.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

Well, “not to be confused”, but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.

For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English

Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can’t say about real world, since I don’t live in the USA.

I don’t think so. Maybe they’ll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?

In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).

It’s supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.

There’s already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it’s fine, but in real world as a user you won’t really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that’s still using a more powerful chipset.

Which is sad for a new device…

They’re supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.

I don’t have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.

I’d say on my setup it’s comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.

And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I’m sure newer cards have improved.

Amd transcode isn’t very good and isn’t very compatible with Linux

It’s compatible just fine. But the quality… well, it’s not the worst, but definitely not the best quality.

The purpose of the law is that consent is supposed to be given freely - holding privacy ransom is not that.

Besides, Meta is identified as a gatekeeper under DMA, so EU might be even more strict with them.

Anyway, I’m not a lawyer, so don’t quote me on any of this. :)

Except that’s specifically the approach FB made that’s illegal in the EU.

Privacy is not something to be put behind a paywall, and it’s not a real choice.

Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.

Outrage narrative? Are you talking about me, or you?

Are you actually a Proton user, or you just here to shitpost? Because there are features that were promised years ago and then forgotten about, because they aren’t trendy enough.

Is a paying customer not allowed to complain that they waste their time on chasing the next popular thing, instead of, I dunno, delivering important features promised years ago?

I think making it an opt-out is sensible

Why? I’m not in the business of making ad companies’ jobs easier.
