Been using matrix as my primary communication method (including bridges to other networks for things like Slack and WhatsApp) for over 3 years now, doesn't feel slow?
I don't think they will, as gamers have been normalized to root kits shipping with games. It is a shame, but - where the majority of the audience is completely indifferent - unless the anticheat is doing something overtly problematic like causing a drop in frame rates (e.g. Denuvo) it won't be removed.
But, as an alternative, you can play the game on Linux via Proton - it works, and absolutely doesn't have root privileges. (note: I'm playing on the Steam Deck, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work on normal Proton)
What about people who want to play multiplayer games? Like, when I play Counterstrike in a ranked fashion I sort of expect the service part... Same for games like Overwatch, Valorant, Dota, League, etc.
I feel like you're missing a clarification of "No one wants Always Online or GaaS in single player or coop titles"?
I'm a Remarkable 2 user, but if the writing feel is anywhere as decent as the remarkable's, I would consider buying one of these (assuming I'm making a first time purchase and don't already have an eink writing tablet).
Most of those features are super unnecessary (but I love the idea of having them), but damn if that color screen doesn't get me feeling super excited.
Yep, I was specifically talking about C#'s implementation.
I worked with some large C# code bases, and you could always see the point in time in which an individual developer would finally get comfortable with var - it's when the code would start getting unreadable. 🤣
Nope, was added to dot Net after the fact. Normally you declare each type by hand, e.g.
ArrayList<int> myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();
vs
var myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();
The second example is why the keyword was added, but now imagine you have a function call returning an unknown type, and then things will start to get super funky.
E.g.
var myCoolBook = BuildBookData(input);
...one step forward and then the same step back 😂 (disclaimer: I do actually like C#, though)
Even if you pay for their subscription, when you get to a new computer you need to manually authenticate with each service. But, it remembers which accounts you have, so it's faster than manually setting up each account from scratch. Basically "we know you have Gmail, xmail, ymail - tap each account to reauthenticate"
It's a good way to have (part of) the convenience of a cloud service, while combining it with the security of local only clients.
Edit: all of this is optional, you can choose not to let their cloud service know of any of your accounts.
I've been paying for mailspring for a few years now, and I love it. It has touch and gesture support, is open source, and is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Its paid plan includes some nice features like email tracking - which you can't really get from just a simple client and (needs a server to track who has opened an email and when) - and id lookup, for things like quickly seeing the LinkedIn profile of a sender not in your contacts list.
Definitely my favorite desktop client by a wide margin, and one I would recommend wholeheartedly.
Edit: Just to be clear, it's available for free as well.
