- Comment on Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts? 1 week ago:
Aren’t people here conflating intrusive thoughts vs the call of the void? I remember someone explaining it to me a bit like this:
Intrusive thoughts are often violent and more “you need to kill yourself right now, jump in front of that train!” Or “push that person down the stairs now, do it!!!”
Where call of the void is much more passive as in “what if/I could I jumped in front of a train right now” or “if I pushed that person down the stairs right now, they would probably get very hurt” and extends to things like “I could just drop my phone in a sewer grate”
My understanding is that everyone™ gets the second but a lot less people get the first. I also get the second but not the first. I could be wrong because it was a random person that explained it to me.

Here is an entire list of years and years of independent audits
Here, go look yourself to verify that the frontend isn’t sending your encryption key back to the server.
www.adobe.com/trust/security.html
Please tell me where I can find the source code of Adobe’s creative cloud and their audits to verify that they aren’t sending my private keys back.
You are comparing an audited, open source program with closed down proprietary system that says “trust me bro, we work with ‘security partners’, no we won’t release the audits”.
Interesting comparison. It’s like comparing a local farming co-op to the agro-industrial complex of Monsanto/beyer and saying “you could say the same about either! Monsanto is at least innovating in the seed space, no no no, ignore how they use it!!”

Spoken like a real Adobe rep lol.
It’s called a backdoor for a reason. Also since adobe software nowadays has almost full access to your machine, what is to stop adobe from simply uploading and storing your private key on their servers and using it when they like? They run their DRM client with a ton of rights to your computer on boot.
WhatsApp can do exactly the same thing and read every message you write and still claim it is “end to end encrypted” for example because key creation is through a process in their proprietary software.

External MBAs taking over running businesses will either result in this or making a billion dollar company through the heavy exploitation of their workers and the consumers. I think the vast majority are the former though.

- Comment on My Honest Opinion 3 weeks ago:
And being adobe, they will put a nice little backdoor in it for them to change the credentials so that they can take artists’ work and use it, train their AI with it, and sell it like they have been doing for years.
- Comment on Is there any way our of the US political spiral? 4 weeks ago:
When has there been a revolution without a revolt in all of history?
When has there been a 180° change without a revolution in all of history?
In much of the world, Unions were forged in blood of many revolts.
Nation separation and independence was exclusively revolution.
Even the civil rights (which most people have been whitewashed into thinking was peaceful) had the black panthers. They have been completely villified, but the civil rights movement would not have succeeded without their violence.

There is a new Dutch renovation show that has a girl with exactly that build. She had to call another contestent info the bathroom because she couldn’t get her leggings pulled up over her ass. It’s definitely causes real problems but if it’s not a fake butt is another question.

Yeah I played it halfway and it didn’t grip me like New Vegas did. The story just seemed pretty convoluted and meandering.

- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I have tried openSUSE Kalpa for a few months and that would literally only boot 50-60% of the time due to not being able to mount volumes for some random reason, also RPM-ostree is better than the suse tool for it (from a layman’s perspective) and saving 10 or so system snapshots doesn’t make sense for my usecase because I would only notice something wrong from a bad update immediately or 4 months down the road lol.
Steam being natively installed is a big one too because flatpak steam is simply riddled with bugs and problems. I couldn’t even launch any game at all until I found a command buried not in opensuse’s documentation but another. I think I ran into 4-5 major issues before they were all found out via the web. Definitely not an experience most people would want.
Otherwise it is about the same.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I’ll be honest. It was a hell of a time getting things working correctly due to the lack of documentation, but now I have everything except scanning and document signing working. (Rocket league runs fine, just with half the fps I should be getting) I literally don’t have to touch anything anymore, it will just keep itself updated and working completely hands-off. That is what I want out of a system now that tweaking and debugging is a distraction from my other hobbies rather than a hobby itself.
The biggest feature that I like is Linux without having any manual update intervention at all. It all just runs and updates itself and works.
If something goes wrong in my software, I can uninstall and reinstall the flatpak delete remaining files, and reinstall with 3 clicks instead of having to search for where the hell this specific program decided to stash its files and configs and cache on my system like I had to with a traditional system.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I can attest to this. I daily drive bazzite exclusively now.
Rocket league specifically only uses 40% of the GPU and 25% CPU and refuses to use any more at all. It is only a bazzite problem. Other distros are completely fine and other bazzite users have reported the same thing, regardless of settings, launch options, etc…
It is hell when trying to do embedded firmware development. Pretty much everything has to be done through distrobox related to it because JLink needs to be accessible by NRF connect which has to be accessible by VSCode, etc… vscode and oss versions simply don’t work if you have to install more than the very basic UI extensions.
Plus then you have udev rules that you have to manually place in the read only file system (recommended by a Bazzite maintainer on their discord) which they explicitly tell you never to do in the docs. There is absolutely nothing regarding JLink (the most widely used industry flashing tool for ARM) in any universalblue docs, even the bluefin and aurora versions “for developers”.
Also, there is absolutely no known way to handle eID credentials, crypto keys, etc in order to digitally sign documents. Also key management and access simply does not work at all in flatpak.
Network scanning simply doesn’t work at all (yes, saned is set up). It is simply completely nonfunctional.
Outside of those cases though, it works fine. Themes work, font installation works as expected, KiCAD, freeCAD work, browsers, media players, etc… All work fine. Distrobox, while start menu applications via distrobox sometimes simply don’t start, they often work fine. However, I haven’t had to worry about updating my system in 4 months because updates are in the background and completely seamless and not a single thing breaks during updates which by itself is the reason I switched from arch.
(Arch never became unbootable or seriously broken, but I would have update problems and have to search for forum solutions to make a full update work every month or two)

I don’t think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn’t get any money.
The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level

Buddhism as it originally was, was more of a philosophy and way of life.
However, as will all organized religion, Buddhism has morphed in Tibet (free Tibet), India, and other places into mysticism with gods, recurring semi-saviors through “reincarnation”, and classist systems and hierarchies. Sad, really. Humans mess everything up for personal gain and control.

- Comment on Riot Games is cracking down on players’ off-platform conduct 2 months ago:
Lol league was extremely toxic in 2010 when streaming wasn’t a thing. I got sucked in and became toxic in 2011-2012 before I quit altogether. Best decision I ever made regarding video games.
It is the player base, not the streamers, that ruin the game.
But maybe this will help a little bit.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 2 months ago:
I am a bit younger so chicken & waffels and a few other CS:S servers were that for me. Also Day of Defeat Source was underrated.
Also, the minigame servers… The mini games people came up with!
1 person shooting cubes at platforms whole others had to stay up, The prison, Piratewars, Multigames (the original fall guys), Prop wars, The one where there were like different power ups behind walls and then have different abilities.
But also battlefront 2 was like that for me. SMD clan with its almost mythical figurehead. Glitching servers, shooting the shit with other people trying to find new glitches. Those were the days.
While matchmaking is good for some games like Rocket League, it has really broken a ton of communities. I think that’s why there aren’t really "clans’ anymore, because people aren’t together enough to organize.

- Comment on What type of game do you want to see? 3 months ago:
I want a new, modern Battle for Middle Earth 2 with better balance, modern graphics, and maybe different modes like quick vs longer form games. Definitely some reform like making it more difficult to build walls, but the walls stand up better to infantry and you really need siege engines.
The game was not balanced competitively (men so OP) but holy damn the battles felt epic and building your own forts and castles to defend was amazing.
- Comment on PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games 4 months ago:
Their entire list is odd choices except for the top 10 (even persona 5 is iffy as top 10 of all time)
They favor shooters and then place a game that had lost most of its audience in under a year as the best shooter other than doom 1 of all time.
I love helldivers, but it is a very niche game in comparison to so many others, even those on the list.
Not to mention KOTOR and DA:O as 94 and 95. Also prey is an extremely weird choice…

I just had a big fall on my electric bike this spring.
There was a brick sticking out of the brick bike path and I flipped over the handlebars into the street. It was the one day I forgot to grab my helmet leaving for work.
My hands got a bit cut up and my shoulder was slightly bruised, but I was completely fine! I only got a yellow belt in judo years ago so falling and basic things are all I learned, but that probably saved my ass from getting a hurt elbow, wrist, or hitting my head.
