Eh, there’s a completely independent reimplementation of the server, so I’d be surprised if the same doesn’t happen for the apps if there’s a real issue that comes up

People learn about different things at different times. If we care about promoting privacy we should be accomodating and not hostile about that.

In addition to everythong everyone has said, one major thing that people often don’t think about privacy is how it relates to enshittification.

Modern software services try to optimize everything to make as much money as possible. Everything is a/b tested, and whatever increases some arbitrary metric is what gets released.

They do this by tracking a ton of metrics about how you interact with everything. I know where I work we collect data about every time you click on anything, how long you hover over buttons, etc.

The only other (not absolutely tiny) one I’m aware of is brave, but it has its own issues

If you self host bitwarden/vaultwarden, each client stores an encrypted copy of the database, so even if your server was completely destroyed, you’d still have access to all the accounts you’re saving in it.

Yep, it does!

You could try flashing the recovery image and re-imaging your deck. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3

I’d contact valve support if that doesn’t work, they’ve always been great whenever I’ve interacted with them.

Nobody hears about them shutting down oil factories, attention getting stuff is why those are talked about.

They never do any actual harm either, like Stonehenge was cornstarch, it’ll all be gone the next time it rains. They paint the glass in front of paintings, not the paintings themselves.

They’re probably on windows

Yeah, cause people are just hooking stuff up to chatbots and expecting it to do everyrhing instead of actually building tools for the job they need

…They said waydroid

The main gain would be losing any tracking youtube does on how you interact with their app. They could only track based off what videos your ip address watches.

Isn’t ubuntu pro free up to 5 devices

Do you remember what that extension is?

For android, I use https://revanced.app/

For desktop, I use https://freetubeapp.io/

open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege,

Is saying the role open source plays in Linux security is minor compared to the role other aspects play, not that the attacks are minor.

I like how you just ignored the comment you replied to which acknowledged linux makes up most servers and instead just argued against a guy you made up.

Oh yeah, definitely but those tend to be different attacks than would target random consumer computers.

Being open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege, package management vs just installing random exes, different distros using different packaging systems.

Not really, windows is most targeted because it’s most used. If Linux had comparable market share it would be attacked way more.
