Heroic Games won't launch from Steam

Jump

  • I don't have an answer for you. I'm just curious why you're launching Heroic through Steam

    • What're some apps you can't go without on F-droid?

    Jump

  • It's on F-Droid if you load their repo. Also it's open source but I understand some people don't like their license.

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • You're right. Not sure why I wrote it that way

    • Seeking Feedback on My Remaining Proprietary Apps and Other Questions

    Jump
    1. I have a GL.iNet Flint 2. It's very easy to use. It makes it easy to install VPNs, Wireguard or OpenVPN as well as Tailscale support. It has an Adguard feature built in or you can use a custom DNS service. The one thing I dislike is the inability to setup VLANs (if I'm mistaken I would love to be informed how to set one up).
    2. I use GMaps WV to look up stuff on Google Maps if it's not on OSM, then I'll route with Organic Maps with Sherpa Onnx TTS.
    3. I have heard Uber works well in the browser
    4. Use a Wyze Video Doorbell 1 flashed with the Thingo firmware
    5. Material Files is probably the closest you'll get
    6. Immich, Aves, or Ente photos
    7. Lawnchair launcher. Hypatia is discontinued now
    8. Don't worry about the licensing with Futo if you're still using closed source apps, you'll just hinder yourself. Look up FUTO on YouTube or Louis Rossmann to understand why they made the licensing that way.
    9. Soon WhatsApp will have interoperability with Signal, use Signal.
    10. OpenTracks. Strava has had many many privacy issues. Privacy issues that can turn into security issues in person.
    11. If I require the use of a non privacy respecting app I'll put it on it's own profile.

    I will finish by saying you should evaluate what's actually necessary vs a convenience. You'll find that you can do without some features that you may use once in a blue moon or can be done less conveniently with a cable, etc.

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • I was hoping this one might have been around 15-20k but was totally wrong. Hopefully someday they'll be cheap enough for the everyday household

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • Hopefully the normal consumer will have cheap access like that to metal printers in 10years or less

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • Haha that's wild. Hopefully that means this printer will be obtainable by the normal person in about 10years

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • $150,000 thousand. Still expensive none the less

    • LMD: A New, Less Wasteful Metal 3D Printing Technique

    Jump

  • Super cool but $150,000k USD...

    • Open source RTS 0 A.D. Alpha 27 released bringing a new Vulkan renderer, new maps, AMD FSR and lots more

    Jump

  • Never played it as I'm terrible at games like AoE and Anno but I'll give it a shot

    • Privacy-respecting options for Android tablets?

    Jump

  • The Google Pixel Tab with GrapheneOS. I got the most recently produced tablet that supports Lineage and it's very slow.

    • Let's discuss: Like a Dragon / Yakuza

    Jump

  • I started playing it for the first time last year and didn't know really anything about it. I immediately noticed that how people talked didn't seem respectful and it all seemed over the top comical. I learned that it was an English localization issue. I found the mod Yakuza Restored which makes it in Japanese but fixes the English subtitles to be accurate and the game was very enjoyable to play from that point on. I haven't beaten it yet but I like how the main character is principle driven, it makes the story quite enjoyable.

    • What maps app do you use

    Jump

  • Organic Maps with Sherpa-Onnx text to speech directions. It sounds just as realistic as Google maps

    • Hardening Mint

    Jump

  • That's exactly right

    • Hardening Mint

    Jump

  • Don't forget UBlock Origin and being smart on the web and install programs through the software center

    • Proton CEO Andy Yen Interview

    Jump

  • You are correct about that, thank you for clarifying

    • Proton CEO Andy Yen Interview

    Jump

  • This is the importance of it being open source. If they started shifting away from that then it would raise eyebrows

    • Proton CEO Andy Yen Interview

    Jump

  • @anonymous comment still stands. Your previous comment doesn't indicate how he is incorrect, if that is what you're suggesting.

    • Proton CEO Andy Yen Interview

    Jump

  • Nothing in that article suggests Proton doesn't care about privacy. Every country has laws that must be abided by. Their verbage on not logging IPs was misleading but not inaccurate as they weren't until ordered to by law. At that point the law was able to find the person because of lack of opsec on the perp's part.

    Besides that, to my knowledge all of Proton is open source and encrypted. It has been audited and proven to be secure.

    Quit letting politics ruin our collective privacy by suggesting to people that Proton is now an evil company. They support Trump because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great for privacy and we shouldn't be infighting about that.
