If you’re gonna use Opera anyway, why not just use Brave and disable the crypto stuff? The native adblocker on Brave is on par with uBlock Origin and performs even better. Opera is probably the worst direction you can go from where you are right now…
Yes, I’m aware, that’s what I was talking about too. As much as I love Vivaldi and want to trust them, i don’t think i can trust them as easily as Brave
That’s essentially the same as not being open source considering the only part that’s open source is the engine code, which is mostly just chromium
Oh thanks! Dearrow looks interesting
Vivaldi is closed source. Brave isn’t. Even with all its very real problems, Brave is the best option aside from Firefox, especially once you turn off all the weird stuff
Yeah
You used a comma once. You could have used it again …
Proton’s labels implementation sucks though. I can’t filter by two labels for example, like “Credit Card” & “Statements”. Kinda makes labels the same as folders… I don’t really see a point in it
They’ve been around for 10 already. They will be around longer too, given that they’re profitable, which they’ve continued to be. They also aren’t under any legal pressure because they’ve complied with government requests, just with limited data because that’s all the data they store. Their client software, which is where the encryption happens, is all audited and open sourced. Any reason to distrust them would really be baseless right now. At the very least, they are definitely better than Google when it comes to trust…
So far, Proton has been doing a better job than Google ever did for me. Especially considering that they don’t even read my mail content, that is genuinely impressive to me
Brave Search is pretty nice
There was so much focus on those people hating the character for being a strong woman
Not to mention that any genuine criticism was attributed to being “sexist”…
It just needs to be "owning* in the way physical media without DRM works. That is data too after all. The ability to sell your copy of the data or have your friend borrow.
Yes, DRM-free is the closest thing, never argued otherwise. I’m also not arguing the services offered by GOG are part of “ownership”. The lack of an ability to download a game at any point is just a part of the fact that GOG too is simply licensing in the end. But yes, GOG is still the closest thing to “owning” games. Which is why it sucks that so many titles on GOG have DRM despite the claims btw…
I’m really only arguing one thing: piracy is better than GOG right now in every single way. You don’t have to worry about hidden DRM. You don’t have to worry about account creation bullshit. You don’t have to worry about anything else. You just download, hit play and it works every single time. If I send the copy to a friend, it will still work.
Piracy has always been closer to “owning” than GOG, so GOG should at least have some other tangible benefits over piracy. But right now, they don’t.
At that point, why not buy the game on any platform of your choosing and just pirate it when it stops being accessible on the platform you bought it on? I understand wanting to support GOG, I “own” a lot of games on GOG as well. But it’s not really “owning” even on GOG if at some point, I could lose the ability to download the game.
Any game that isn’t available as a pirated game isn’t going to be on GOG anyway… The problem here is that GOG needs to be better than piracy in any tangible way and right now, that’s not the case. It would be the case for me if GOG Galaxy was available on Linux but it’s not, as one example.
That’s just Lemmy being a smaller community. I’ve seen plenty of toxicity on here as well. In a way proportional to the size of the community. And especially more on some specific instances.
I do think it’s different, but i don’t think it’s as different as a lot of people here seem to want to believe
You’re on what is essentially federated reddit…
Technically, we’re one update away from Kobo taking our device away too. I do love my KOReader on my Clara 2E though
This is a single player game that wants me to log in. I won’t buy something like that, irrespective of what company it’s from.
I miss Unity :(
Yes, it was bad in quite a few ways, but it also felt like a truly thoughtful desktop experience. Global Menu, HUD, merged maximized headers, etc
