The "choose the default app" modal has special code that makes it say "HEY BTW EDGE EXISTS CLICK HERE" If the modal is for choosing your default browser. It is absolutely about control.
I think enjoy particular music without being an asshat about all other music.
I can name you a few of my favorite artists (digitalism, Savant, bossfight, Metric) but just because I like their music and electro in general doesn't mean I physically can't listen to other genres.
I honestly can't believe the author would go so far as to suggest using pi-hole when mv3 becomes forced (ubo will likely continue to work, but Google will be able to collect filter stats, so still best to avoid). Not only is a pi-hole a project, that only works when you're at home (or you're learning more about networking, and it will likely never work right on mobile data), that costs money to set up, DNS blockers are what Google wants you to use, because they serve their ads through the same domains as their content, and if pi-hole ever becomes popular everyone else will too.
The obvious alternative that is much better in all aspects, respects your privacy, and and is literally free, works everywhere and is not vulnerable to same-domain hosting: firefox. Literally just use firefox. Install ubo, even on mobile, and you're done. Any qualms you might have about switching to firefox are either false (firefox is now faster than chrome in lighthouse tests) or Google brainwashing you into thinking your workflows are completely static when you could easily adapt to not having the exact extension you so desperately "need" to work. You don't need it, because you worked fine before the extension, and honestly I'd be surprised if you can't find a ff extension that does the same semantic thing for you.
Suggesting to continue using chrome but with a worse adblocker is nonsense and the author has drank the kool-aid.
On that note, anyone feel like YouTube comments have recently turned "too nice"? Like if you go to any yt let's play, usually the first 10 top comments won't be talking about the video contents, just "I love that we're getting regular videos 🤗!" Endlessly. It feels so weird to me compared to the actual discourse that could happen there, and obviously yt comments are infamous for being a cesspool so that's even more of a jarring change
Seeing your other comments on this post, I urge you to think twice about embarking on whatever it is you're about to attempt, because it is clear you have no idea what's in store for you. I really don't mean it as a demeaning thing, what you're describing is hard.
I suggest looking into a postgres tutorial first and foremost, it will teach you the basics of DBMS and how to use SQL, and when you understand that and what the database does for the applications you're used to, revisit this project. Being a database administrator is a literal full time job in the enterprise world, and for good reason, and you don't sound like you know enough about it to go in guns blazing.
Because they are just the one game. Since mw1 cod is just a live service game with yearly $60 payments to make you think it isn't just the same game. Also includes cold war.
You are correct that people aren't playing "old games" though. Fortnite and league could easily make up 30%, add GTAV and bob's your uncle.
It does make sense, to prevent automated tools from pulling it's code. But I do wish they kept it around, maybe I my viewable if you're logged in or something like that, but it seems they don't have the tools to do this.
I know that it isn't just one module. What is the handshake achieving exactly? Because it's not additional security from an attacker trying to replace the keyless entry module with a hacked one, and if it is doing that then this is a terrible security design and the actual solution is not to get to keep using this 'security' threat model.
Again, if you're so deep in the car that this matters, this is not the part that's going to stop you, unless the car is so poorly built that the keyless entry module is readily available without taking apart the entire car. This is a non-problem.
Because steam is fundamentally a package manager and you wouldn't install a package manager from flatpak either.
You can find your solution for making steam work on an immutable distro if you want, but the fact of the matter is that using steam on flatpak is not recommended because it is famously broken.
If the security was so bad that removing part pairing would crash this, then it wasn't secure to begin with. Same argument as apple pairing the fingerprint sensor, the emsensor is only doing the reading, not the authentication.
This is especially important for smite, because smite 1 is still incompatible on Linux due to them not enabling EAC
