I don’t have experience with it, but as I know that is a GUI helper for Wine.

A steam emulator is different. It is often just a single file, a program library that holds program code.
On windows it is a DLL file, on Linux it does not have an extension but it’s the same concept. The game loads it because it actually searches for the official version of this file, but both Linux and Windows implement the search for it so that a library file (with the expected name) besides the executable is preferred instead of whatever is installed systemwide.

Lutris on the other hand is a GUI tool to manage your “wineprefixes”, which is maybe better called wine environments. If you are familiar with python, it’s more like python’s virtual environments.
And besides basic tasks, it has a lot of additional tools to make using Wine easier.
Afaik there are also other such utilities, I don’t yet have experience with any of them.

Ater purchasing and downloading a game from Steam, the Steam client is not actually needed for it to be playable. Of course it will try to start up Steam, and if isn’t installed then it will complain, but if use use a “steam emulator” that can be worked around.
This is useful if you don’t want Steam to track how much and when do you play, when is it that you are online, what achievements you got and such. This is afaik also the only way to say no to forced automatic game updates.

One such emulator is Mr Goldberg’s steam emu.
It has a bunch of configuration options, per-game settings, optionally portable settings, windows+linux support, and I think it’s even open source.

Using the Goldberg emu is not piracy, neither DRM circumvention. The Steam API is not a DRM, most Steam games just make the Steam client a hard dependency, not bothering with making it work without it.
When the game is protected by DRM (this should always be marked on its store page), the steam emu won’t be enough, but you would also need to patch it’s DRM protection. Sometimes that’s easier, sometimes harder.

Steam emus may or may not work with multiplayer games.
The Goldberg emu has a replacement Steam’s own multiplayer network communication system, which works through the local network or a selfhosted wireguard-like VPN, but with big centrally hosted multiplayer games you’ll run into licensing validation problems or such.

You are allowed to modify a car however you like

I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. Like, even if we are not taking about adding a badly welded 4 wheel attachment without the use of a trailer hook, the car will have to go through technical inspection every few years.
If the inspectirs deem that a non-functional such system is a problem, you’ll not be driving your car anywhere.

This is just the usual “nothing to hide” handwaving argument.

This data is not used by some theoretical policeman to laugh at how bad you drive, it is part of commercial datamining present in virtually all devices and services you use.

GPS and such? Great that I have a smartphone that I trust more, and have more control over, than this big blackbox with no access whatsoever.

I think they actually tried to use the transfer function, from how they worded it

Android is also linux based. Is chrome os more like Linux than that?

Yeah, that’s true for most of them, they all are basically useless. It’s only worth to use private crypto, like Monero, that is designed actually with privacy in mind.

but I don’t know if it makes sense if my bank knows I’m using it anyway so they can sell that info to advertisers, gov, etc.

Yeah it’s not ideal, but it’s still much better because these services won’t give access to your data if they can avoid it, and then data that is encrypted is not useful when given out

As far as I know that’s the only thing AOSP means in the context of Android. Weird that they assume everyone in their audience already knows it.

I think you have sorted by “users”, and are looking at the “active” column.
If you sort by active, it’s fine.

Hacker news? That makes me suspicious that maybe there’s a different problem

That would be very, very interesting to see.

And what ISP will give you a connection with terabits in upload speed?
Probably you’re thinking about placing the machine in a data center, I’m not familiar with that.

However with that price I wouldn’t say that “it’s nothing”. Even just the hardware, where I live it’s the price of a house, and people barely afford it even with a loan.
It’s probably not much to well running companies, but here we are speaking about individuals and relatively smaller groups, ran by donations and not for profit.

And the main bottleneck there is, is it really the RAM? How? Are they not touching storage and keeping everything in a ramdisk?

20 mbps may be child’s play, not often for download only, not upload, and then don’t forget that just a hundred viewers will generate 2 gbps of traffic. And hundred viewers are nothing.

Sure, most videos are not 4k. The bandwidth usage still goes up pretty quick.

I think PeerTube’s idea that viewers of the same video can serve each other is an interesting concept. Problem is, afaik most are not using dekstop computers anymore, and most of the time people are living off batteries and their traffic limited cellular data subscription, where this is probably a very costly operation for the user.

How much are you into programming and tinkering?
You may be able to make an xposed module to convince the dji app that you use an “investor approved” operating system.

First you would need to reverse engineer the dgi app a little, to find out where in the code it checks for your system, like when does it use safetynet. If it prints an error message or logs something to logcat when it refuses to work, then it could be easier to find the place starting from that point and the stringcs appearance in the code and usages.

Fortunately, even it not too easy, android apps are among the easiest to reverse engineer. The 2 major tools that will help you are jadx (the decompiler) and Android Studio (the official android dev program for helping in navigating the code, most important features are finding usages of a function or string resource, and “refactoring” so mass renaming functions when you understood what does a key function do)

Maybe it’s not for safety reasons, but they just don’t trust you with attending school. This is even worse.

You don’t.

Isn’t production JavaScript usually minified/obfuscated to make it hard to read?

Somewhat, but often it’s still readable. Or maybe I just don’t look at it often enough to notice the worse cases…

Also wasm is actually bytecode, which I believe has a 1:1 conversion into a text-based format called wat.

That’s good to be aware of, thanks!

Yeah, me too, but lately Nitter almost never works :/

Honestly I’m better off this way, personally. At least javascript is text, and very often readable after pretty printing and debuggabke as a user, I’m not comfortable with loading basically opaque binaries for websites.
