  • Adult game developer’s PayPal funds held for over a month despite being legitimately sold on Steam [80k GBP]

    Jump

  • As far as I know both of them are also payment processor, not only currencies.

    Why would I use a third-party to store or process my Bitcoin payment? That's the whole point you're not forced to use a trusted third-party to store or pay. I don't, never did.

    As a swiss citizen I can tell you that there is way enough regulation covering that currency, in fact it is regulated as foreign currency (currency of cyberspace hehe). I don't know how it is outside but also looks heavily regulated in EU and probably is in America.

    I know, I'm not that stupid :D It was for the meme cuz this is the internet.

    The main issue is that regular payment processors don't do what they are suppose to do (process payment and nothing else), they freeze account for no reasons (GrapheneOS, flipper-zero, etc...) censor payment because they don't like an industry (closed an entire plateform (UTip) because of one adult content creator), industries that already are regulated by law. Holding users funds longer than needed, or censoring for political opinion etc.

    In this regard Bitcoin is neutral : You have the money, it's a valid transaction. You pay enough fees your transaction will be confirmed sooner. Who you are, how you get this money and why you are sending it is none of the payment processor business.

  • As much as I love my SteamDeck I wouldn't use it for work or study even that I know I could. I have a dedicated laptop for that.

  • As there is (prove me if I'm wrong) no current way to dump and decrypt Switch2 games this is a highly probable hoax. I wouldn't consider this to be true and be extermely careful.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • I would suggest you to choose a lightweight DE, in simpler word everything but GNOME. On my machine GNOME was eating ressources resulting in less FPS around roughly 10%-20% performance loss. But from a distro to another one I haven't seen major gap in my benchmarks. Desktop Envrionement had much more impact

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • Nobara but considering other option such as Bazzite and GLFOS.

  • Hey @rabble, would you and your team at Nos.social be willing to help us get a range of Nostr apps packaged for ?

    Jump

  • Nostr and Fediverse are not incompatible, one exemple is what soapbox are doing.

  • These are minimalist dumphone-like launchers

  • Advice on "locking down" my Pixel 5a and turning it into a tool?

    Jump

  • Install GrapheneOS (consider this device as insecure as Google dropped support) and some minimalist launcher such as Olauncher, Unlauncher or mLauncher through Droid-ify (or another F-Droid client of your choice) or directly from source. You can also install digital wellbeing apps such as Mindful, DigiPaws, GreaseMilkyWay or Regain (that last one is proprietary and is available on PlayStore (or AuroraStore)) to help you have better control over app such as YouTube.

    For YouTube you can also install some FOSS client such as NewPipe, Tubular or PipePipe etc...

  • Linux is just a kernel, it is the base of the kernel in Android and the kernel that runs the web (even on Microsoft servers they use it in a significant share alongside Windows).

    We have seen in France some criminalization of installing alternative OS to judge people bringing "installing Linux" as evidence but this is ridiculus. IN the same time some cities are switching from Microsoft to FOSS and thus Linux.

    I don't understand why you should be scared of switching beside loosing some compatibility with some software and changing your workflow and habits slightly.

  • Intel B580 Gamers

  • Never had the opportunity to try an Intel GPU but from what I've looked they are good affordable low-end GPU for the value. However I don't know how the Linux support is. Also the AMD RX 9600 XT is a mid-range so not the same competition. I would say that if you can afford it you should upgrade to this one.

  • [ANSWERED] Should i use KeePass* instead of Proton Pass, for privacy?

    Jump

  • It really depend on your threat model, Proton Pass is fine. Of course a self-hosted or local solution will be more privacy friendly but at the cost of being responsable for security and good backups (3,2 1 rule).

    There is no black or white regarding privacy. You want to ask yourself what you want to protect from and is the investment worth being sovereign ?

  • How are RDNA 1 and 2 (AMD RX 5000 & 6000 series) cards on Linux nowadays? EDIT: Apparently they're quite good :)

    Jump

  • Never had any issue with my old RX 5700 XT beside hot temperature and so noise, I have mitigated it with changing thermal paste and undervolting it. 0 issue with my RX 6600, so for my RX 7800 XT either

  • By default PRISM doesn't allow you to add offline account without login a MS account that own the Java Edition. But you can edit a file in order to bypass this restriction. The Ely fork of PRISM doesn't have that restriction.
