I mean, statistically, you are, so am I, I’m very right to assume that unless stated otherwise.

Furthermore, almost no women at least in my personal experience have ever reported having travel experiences like yours, so I was doubly right to assume that you are a man.

And yet further, you also do not deny it therefore I’m going to assume I was correct and dismiss your experiences as not applying to me.

I will assume more because I assume that I assumed correctly and you just don’t like being called out, even though a reasonable person would probably just say that others’ experiences may vary.

I was also just being polite in saying “euro” instead of just saying “white” btw.

Blocked.

PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can’t be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.

That answers my question as to why KryptKey wasn’t just encrypting using PGP.

Still, I’d very much like an app similar to KryptKey that uses PGP encryption, or an app I can copy-paste plaintext into and get PGP ciphertext out of like Kleopatra, do you know of any?

Or maybe we are just different kinds of people and thus get treated differently. Maybe if I was a cishet euro dude I wouldn’t worry about it either.

A question about kryptKey - why Signal protocol instead of just letting me import a PGP key and paste plain text in and use PGP for encryption and get ciphertext oit, like Kleopatra or GPG? I use that for DNMs and it’s swell.

You can meet people online, I would be very wary as a tourist, most folks will only talk back if they get value from it, like assault, robbery or your blood🦇

No modern housing due to NIMBYs here in the UK. A smaller community means renting a tiny attic, basement or god forbid house sharing a room in a partitioned victorian mcmansion for £1k a month or more.

Damn, TIL. Downloading now.

You’re in luck, the deck runs those fairly well in my xp.

Eh it’s not really the same thing, there’s plenty of these sorts of things like rationalwiki and prolewiki and whatnot. I meant the Wikipedia itself

I don’t have the storage capacity required personally

I imagine we will be saying goodbye to many such things soon, in the extreme maybe yhe entire idea of a global internet and many open projects like Wikipedia, I can’t see how they can coexist with our world now without being shut down or subverted into evil, might as well go out on their own terms.

I do hope a copy exists somewhere, perhaps waiting for a brighter day. Maybe that’s naive, but maybe truth and knowledge will become a desirable thing again one day.

My life is on a bunch of HDDs dug out of failed laptops with SMART errors some of which have already failed in the past, they are duct taped together and shoved inside a drive cage they don’t fit in.

All these game will work swimmingly. Those marked playable will usually work perfectly fine out of the box, but maybe have an ugly launcher or something you need to use the touchscreen for. Those marked unplayable will have bugs but in my experience work fine too. There’s a more detailed less conservative compatibility db online too.

In terms of power it’s about between a PS4 and PS4 Pro, with a faster CPU, more RAM, slower GPU, but with a really fast NVMe SSD so games like CP2077 are very playable but not at the highest settings.

Gotta remember the Deck has a 7.4" 800p screen, so its not comparable to the horse power needed for a PC at 4K or something.

Most consoles end up around the same render res once you’ve accounted for checkerboarding, dynamic res and DLSS/FSR nonsense.

The deck also does shader pre-compilation and caching for games on steam so it often performs much better compared to a Windows PC with the same hardware for example.

Anything ray tracing is out of the question though as it uses AMD, not Nvidia.

I don’t play AAA games (nor know what new ones are there) - if you have a game in mind I could try it and report back?

The only game I tried that it really struggled with was NFS Unbound.

I was also able to do PS3 emulation on it, including Skate 3 and Motorstorm.

You can pirate on the deck. It’s like two extra steps but you can.

If you’re not a Linux weirdo there are subreddits and people have made it easy, though you do have to use desktop mode to download games afaik.

If you’re already a big linux weirdo, just ssh in and look at htop while playing any steam game in deck mode and figure out how the magic works yourself, trust me it’s a lot of fun and the thing is really nice to explore because it’s not locked down at all.

My best friend is still on 15Mb/s in central London 💀

I just moved to a new place with full fiber optic and it’s the first place I lived in where that’s a thing.

Steam deck. OLED. Linux. Not locked down to hell. Nuff said.

Lmao

It is still a shock to me that some genius aliased curl to Invoke-WebRequest and that curl.exe is what you actually want.

Mixing the two philosophies of coreutils and unix bins and whatever is happening in PowerShell seems even more unholy to me than the phrase “object oriented result”, but different strokes.

I gave up on PowerShell on Windows as a plausible alternative to Bash on Linux the minute I realized there’s no real equivalent tocat, there’s type or if you hate yourself - Get-Content which is aliased as cat but doesn’t really work the same way.

If I can’t even very basically list a file irregardless of what’s in it, it’s just dead out of the gate.

On Linux, I once sent myself an MP3 from my server to my laptop with cat song.mp3 | base64 -w0 > /dev/tcp/10.10.10.2/9999 because I cba to send ssh keys.

I’ll give modern windows a few points - the new terminal emulator application is sweet, and having ssh makes it easy to login to remotely.

PowerShell is a strange programming language that makes me wish I was just writing C#.

Bash is a shell language. At its heart it’s a CLI, emphasis on the I, it’s the primary way of interacting with a computer, not a way to write programs. Even awk is arguably better suited.

That’s why it neither needs to be verbose nor readable for complete beginners, you memorize it the same way you memorize where buttons are on a keyboard or what items you can expect in a right click context menu on Windows.

Most bash scripts people write are far too complex for it and could stand a rewrite in perl or python or heck, what I think actually works amazing as a “scripting language” - C.
