Chiaki and Moonlight are both great solutions if your Wifi signal is strong and your host device has a wired connection in my experience. Do people with good internet up speeds set it up to stream from WAN? This would be equivalent to that IMO.

Interesting, I had a lot of other things going on at the time so didn't follow the issue as close as I would now. At least we're finally getting FTTN transitioning to FTTP at the moment, 10 years too late.

Here I am WFH just fine on a 25/8 Mbps 4G cellular internet connection though. I do wish I had better connection but unfortunately not possible in my situation.

I don't recall labor not wanting to finish it? My recollection was that it was the libs not wanting to go through with it and that's how we got fibre to the node after they were elected.

I get that running fibre all the way to every premises in rural areas like Alice Springs would have been ridiculous though.

Yeah, not really sure what favour the Tate's have with Trump. He's a transactional piece of shit.

I just started the game last night. Holy shit that opening prologue was incredible, and the music did so much for the atmosphere of loss/melancholy.

The memes are better in the prequels

Also, it reviewed well but with some annoying caveats.

Ah yeah that's a predicament. Do you know what distro you are going to be using? If you haven't decided, Fedora with GNOME as the DE is a good bet. Otherwise Zorin or Ubuntu, again with GNOME. Apparently that DE is better for devices with touchscreens.

You can dual-boot if you don't want to go all in? Not sure about laptop dual boot but that's what I do on my desktop.

I've had a family member complain about "another chatting app on their phone", but if you convince them that they can only really contact you there (because YOU are deleting everything else off your phone), they'll do it and see that it's absolutely fine.

Alex Garland is a pretty good director. Ex Machina is one of my favourite films and Annihilation was a demonstration that he isn't so tied down by the source media, but does capture the spiritual essence of a book adaptation, at least.

He's a pretty proven writer and director and has written for video games before (DMC 2013). Elden Ring as a universe has a lot of interesting angles you could approach a story from. I think as an action souls game adaptation , it will be hard to avoid trying to please the two groups of people: one that wants a compelling narrative and another that just wants to see a big boss fight on screen.

Re Linux: Do you want to be tech support for these people when they accidentally brick their system or they have a file compatibility issue when using Libre Office and collaborating with someone using Word? Linux is easy for people like us that are interested in tech as a hobby.

Normal people sit in the paradigm of just wanting their tech to be as user friendly and railroaded as possible.

I'm sure those people have hobbies, and preferences about those hobbies, that might benefit you if you knew. How would you want them to convince you that, say, changing the oil on your car is actually really quick and easy if you know what to do?

I don't mean to be obtuse, this is the reality of trying to onboard people that aren't fussed about privacy. They've generally got their own thing going on and don't want to dive down a new rabbit hole.

Edit: For some actual advice: start with your partner and close friends/family.

Of the friends which you are talking to about it, target the ones which are more likely to already have an existing predisposition to caring about privacy.

Just get them to use Signal for now. Say that you're deleting WhatsApp or messenger or whatever it is that you use to communicate with them generally and ask them just to install this new one that is more privacy-respecting.

If you can get people off of Facebook Messenger or whatsapp as the default messaging app, that is a huge win. People tend to share their most personal secrets in what they assume to be private forums. Most people don't post that much stuff to Facebook's wall anyway anymore.

If the person that you're speaking to might distrust the government more than Mega-corporations, focus on the fact that the government can access those corporations' data pretty easily. If the person that you're trying to convince personally finds musk or Zuckerberg gross, then lean into that.

Don't even bother talking to Sarah from accounting at work about privacy.

We desperately need this in Australia.

Yeah I could see that I suppose, be great to keep it as far from Reddit as possible. It's worked okay so far for me, nice to personalise users a bit, Zero22xx "emoji tagger" 😁

I like to slow down slightly if I'm being tailgated at the speed limit. Maybe go 5km/h slower.

Without clicking, I know exactly what one this is lol

That's a good idea to use emoji. I tag with a short few words describing the thing they commented that gave me a chuckle or frown.

So GTA4 is now more of a throwback than Vice city was on release? Oh god..

For sure, people who play guitar (and my other big hobbyi trail riding) typically won't be this privacy focussed, so I need to go back to Reddit if I want discussion on that outside of real life. There's other website forums for those at least.

Didn't you hear? Ciri is older and therefore ugly now. The worst offence that a designer could make for a female character.

Interesting, weird that there seems to be a fair bit of friction there. I like the idea of it on the switch 2, joystick in left hand and mouse in the right seems to me a great ergonomic solution for comfortable movement plus aiming control.
