Technically it is self-driving but just in the sense that it doesn’t need any external power sources like horses to pull it.

Larian Studios who made Baldur’s Gate 3 could technichally be called an Indie dev despite the big budget and employee count. The company is privately owned by its founder and the games are self published.

It wasn’t metadata it was an entirely optional recovery email address that he used for his apple account.

I will go and shoot the next dog I see. You won’t judge me for that, right?

At the danger of sounding like a tankie, have you looked at politics subs on reddit ir even just the average headline when China does anything at all? I’ve regularly seen people advocating for nuclear strikes against chinese metropolises because “If the Chinese were against their government they would have already rebelled, so they are complicit in everything their leaders do” and the articles that go like “China Has Found A Cure To Cancer; But At what cost?” (slightly exaggerated but probably something we would see if a cure to cancer really was invented in China)

German coders usually have lower salaries for the same jobs than US American coders. Workers rights are generally better here though.

That is actually not legal in Germany. It is forbidden to drive without a reason although this almost never actually gets controlled by anyone.

Sometimes I wish that I could downvote content from my instance.

You can get Aurora store from fdroid which lets you download apps without having a google account.

Religion of peace and humane values…

Wasn’t it a derogatory term for asian car tuners at first before being used for the linux stuff?

You mean to say that you didn’t already know what Sweet Baby Inc. really weird name by the way is before some chuds declared them to be the biggest bad influence to human culture?

They may not be bigots themselves but they happily give their money to a person well known for being bigoted that also actively tries to make the world a worse place for trans people. It is like buying a burzum album; you don’t have to be a nazi to do it but the nazi still profits.

More in the vein of orphan crushing machine, but less about capitalism and more about bigotry.

I am a grumpy young sod who hates change!

For Linux you can use Heroic if you want a launcher. Otherwise you can just download the installers on their website.

The whole gamergate thing lends some credence to the words of the author I would think. A lot of the big gaming influencers are toxic, racist and misogynistic. Remember when people freaked out about some unflattering screenshots of female characters in a lot of games? Like Aloy in Horizon: Forbidden West, MJ in the new Spiderman game or even Abby in The Last of Us 2. There are surprisingly many people that don’t like any western games because they “push their woke agenda” or some such bullshit.

It is the same in many online games, although that has gotten a bit better over the years, where you get berated, insulted and catcalled if you dare to have a feminine voice.

Then you are luckier than me.

You never met one of those capital G Gamers who have never seen a woman that’s not their mom? The ones that get mad if there are black/gay/trans people in their videogames because of “muh escapism”?

My phone can install APKs out of the box. XAPKs need a separate installer though, but that is a one time problem. Many APKs even get recognised by the playstore which made it easier to update it.

My device either isn’t verified or in some way geolocked for some apps so I had to get APKs of them to use those apps and I never had a problem with that.
