You cannot let or forbid a 16yo to use stuff. You can only decide whether they will do it in the open or in hiding. Personally I’d rather have them talk to me about it than hide it from me.

The only thing we know without a proof is that they might be doing it. We don’t have a proof they do it but we also don’t have any proof they are incapable of doing so. A reasonable course of action would be to take precautions against it while not condemning them either, until they are either proven actually guilty or actively unwilling to up their security, which would also strongly imply the former.

Until it’s proven the data is E2E encrypted, it’s a fair assumption it can be read by a 3rd party, either now or in the future. E2EE is the only proof that matters, everything else is just a corporate “trust me bro”.

Making quality tools due to long-standing processes is definitely a different breed of tradition than oppressing minorities because they don’t fit someone’s “traditional” worldview.

To better illustrate my first post: The Victorinox craft isn’t high quality because it’s a tradition. It became a tradition because it’s high quality. If we subtract it being a tradition, we still have a reason to keep making it this way. The same cannot be said about oppressing people, unless one literally views human suffering as value added.

I think there is some confusion between tradition and well-tested processes. I’d hardly consider creating quality products a tradition.

If you’re asking about a personal opinion: any policy purely based on tradition is worthless. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people. Just like any peer pressure, it’s highly unlikely to produce anything but grief. If something is based purely on tradition without any other reason to exist, it’s unlikely to be an optimal policy.

Back to the initial question. I don’t think we can get infinitely progressive but we can keep subtracting the cruft of tradition until there is no necromantic peer pressure left at all. Mind that if something happens to be a tradition but still has a good reason to exist, it should be evaluated like any other idea in terms of being good or bad. I mean removing just one of the reasons to keep this idea. If it is left with zero reasons, it’s out. Otherwise it’s fair game.

Are screenshots even still considered evidence? They should be absolutely trivial to manipulate.

If you’re okay with paying for it, Kagi is great and respects the user privacy.

Can you summarize their reaction to BG3? You got me intrigued.

I swear, soon the terms “fediverse” and “federated” will get muddled up like when people have been saying “open source” when they mean “free (as in free beer)”.

I wouldn’t get a case for the sake of protection but I’m more than happy with my Dbrand Kill Switch case due to its added usability. The kickstand is a must for me when placing a powered on Steam Deck on soft items such as pillows not to block the air vents. Being able to put the cover on and leave Steam Deck standing upright saves unreal amount of space on my desk compared to how it was before. If you’d rather go with something slimmer, there is also Deckmate.

So first you claim it’s all lies and didn’t happen, only to follow with “This was only one incident, and hopefully it won’t be repeated elsewhere”? Which one is it then?

Well, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don’t need to be treated with hostility.

Oh, that’s amazing to hear! I prefer the design of RetroDECK over Emudeck a lot, so I’m more than happy to migrate back then.

From my experience Retrodeck tends to lose the config files a lot during updates. So far I’m yet to experience that with Emudeck.

EDIT: Apparently it was a bug and it’s been fixed almost a year ago, see the dev reply below. Don’t let my comment discourage you from choosing RetroDECK!

Either FR or PFP. “FR” just feels like another filler word. PFP… I’m too used to calling them “avatars”, it just feels wrong and superfluous. I’m probably aging myself here.

A computer preinstalled with Linux is definitely more likely to confuse than you imagine

I can only see it being the case if there is an implicit assumption these people are already familiar with Windows. If we remove that assumption, I can see it going either way, but it’s not even remotely “definitely more likely to confuse”.

I tried playing Icewind Dale on my phone after enjoying Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 on my PC. Don’t bother. The touch UI just cannot keep up in any remotely tactical situation, at least not for my tactics-heavy wizard playstyle with milking every turn as much as I could.

The answer is “currently no”, and that might change. Just like with jaywalking.

Originally jaywalking also wasn’t a ticketable offense. Do you know the origin of this term? That’s the parent poster’s point.
