It is not even semi-private. It is a completely public medium and absolutely nothing posted on it, including direct messages, can be seen as even remotely secure. Worse, anything you post on Mastodon is, once sent, for all intents and purposes completely irrevocable.
This guy is either actively trying to spread fear and doubt about decentralized services, or is somehow only now understanding what the internet is and how it works. Did I step into some kind of time vortex a while back and end up in a world where people ever believed that anything on the internet was private or revocable?
URL is very much an out of date term, as far as general use goes. People think in terms of "links", and if they understand a little more they'll likely respond to you talking about an "address". Most of an entire generation only really interacts with these concepts through the streamlined methods of a phone or tablet interface, which have gone out of their way to hide scary concepts like the actual file system.
People want different things out of the fediverse, and I've noticed some people aren't terribly interested in recognizing that. Lemmygrad and Beehaw are very interesting case studies in people using this technology to create a space that serves their needs and wants rather than the lowest common denominator.
As I understand, it's not common, but when it does happen it's really because vulkan is just that much better than the original directx implementation, even with DXVK working to translate all the system calls.
I played RDR first, but still very late - after RDR2 had come and gone as a phenomenon. It's dated, mostly in how empty the world feels. It's a little disturbing in a liminal way, and yet nostalgic because I can remember other games from that era having similar limitations.
Always refreshing to see somebody who owns one of these cars and hasn't immediately forgotten all expectations of build quality from an automotive manufacturer. I've seen intelligent and analytical people just turn their brains off at the suggestion that these cars aren't perfect, when the procedure for getting one repaired reads like it's from Apple.
Mixplorer - aka MiX, the only file explorer I've ever needed. It's intuitive enough for basic file browsing, but it can do heavy lifting tasks. I exclusively move files on and off my phone by starting an FTP server.
Pulsar - One of the only apps I've ever paid for, it's a music player that does everything I want and nothing I don't. I'm one of those nuts who still maintains a personal library of thousands of songs rather than using spotify or whatever.
MS Swiftkey Keyboard - I went looking for this when Swype was finally discontinued. Gesture typing wasn't common yet and I still find google's stock keyboard absolutely insufferable. Swiftkey lets me adjust the size and layout of the keyboard with far less restriction.
I'm certainly no expert but I understand submarines have an inner and outer hull. The inner hull has to withstand the pressure of the deep but the outer hull does not. The inner hull would be crushed into bits but the outer hull and any equipment in-between would likely be ripped into large chunks as such a violent event occurs inside of it.
