  • Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE

  • It was a long time ago, but I thought I heard Steam would remove their DRM and the games would not require authentication.

    Though I doubt you would be able to redownload anything if their servers shut down though.

  • Gabe Newell believes piracy is a result of inferior service or access. I believe the original poster is stating that piracy has become the answer here because it's the only place to find this media.

  • There is an effort to reterm away from the dehumanizing and victim blaming "Pig Butchering" to "Romance Baiting".

    Is Friendica viable as a RSS Reader?

  • I think this is the answer. Thanks for your recommendation. I'll test this out soon. It seems to check all the boxes and I found this website providing good reasons to use it.

    The reasons I prefer Jitsi Meet to Zoom include the following:

    1. no subscriptions are required to use all the features of Jitsi Meet;
    2. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require you to sign up;
    3. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require the installation of an application — it runs in Google Chrome or Firefox;
    4. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not impose a time limit on the length of the meeting;
    5. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not have a limit on the number of meeting attendees;
    6. Jitsi Meet provides end-to-end encryption for one-to-one video calls;
    7. I find the performance of Jitsi Meet better than Zoom, which seems to be corroborated in basic benchmarking by Jitsi Meet’s developers (‘WebRTC vs. Zoom – A Simple Congestion Test‘);
    8. I find image quality better in Jitsi Meet;
    9. I find Jitsi Meet on a desktop/laptop more intuitive and easier to use than Zoom;
    10. if I share audio in Zoom for Linux, the audio is very distorted;
    11. I find the UI of the Jitsi Meet app for Android easy to use (the app can be installed via Google Play);
    12. Jitsi Meet is open-source, so anyone can inspect the source code;
    13. if I wanted to, I could download the Jitsi software to my own server and set up a Jitsi Meet server to handle meetings instead of using the Cloud server provided by 8×8, Inc. (the company that develops the Jitsi Meetings software).

  • Thanks. I looked into it. Doesn't appear that video or screen sharing are available yet, though is a work in progress. I'll check back on this later when these features are added.

  • Try Molly instead which is a hardened fork of Signal. Molly uses the same servers and is transparent to the operator.

    You can install Molly through F-Droid or Accrescent.

  • Russia says U.S. relations are on brink of collapse, refuses to confirm Trump call claim

    Jump

  • I read in a previous post that Trump's plan leaked:

    The plan requires Ukraine to give up land in Russia’s Kursk region and also to accept Russia’s land grab. European soldiers would also occupy and monitor a demilitarized zone.

    Ukraine would also have to agree not to seek membership in NATO

    If true, Russia is getting what it wants.
