This is a static target for game devs, like the Steam Deck. There is an incentive (from Valve) to make proper presets for the SM specifically.

A random Chinese miniPC doesn’t have that. An enthusiast can install Bazzite on it and knows how to optimise the settings for max FPS.

Joe regular can’t or doesn’t want to.

We shouldn’t need a jailbreak.

If Apple has to allow 3rd party stores, why not Sony?

Not just a website, how can a company prove that a “non-American” isn’t using an API?

Yes.

Unless someone phyiscally breaks into my house and steals my server. Which would require a very targeted attack which again is WAAY out of scope in my (and everyone else’s) threat model

It’s not about being nice. It’s about me knowing where my data is.

Of course it is. But if I do it locally it’s just me, not some megacorps wage slaves looking at the data.

Mostly my nerd brain would like to go “what is this plant” or “overlay all planes overhead to my screen” 😀

But I want a camera and a microphone.

I just want to use my own hardware to analyse whatever they’re recording.

Why can’t a company do smart glasses with self-hostable or fully local processing?

I’d love a pair but fuck streaming everything I see to a random dude in Nigeria

I have a 32” Lenovo 4k and it’s been working perfectly. One cable to my laptop and done

No surprise that they’re blocking temp mail accounts. It’s an easy way to get rid of bots and bad actors.

Some privacy conscious people get blocked too but, whatchagonnado.

Right wing people are really bad at second and third order effects. All they care about is the immediate.

Nah, they got burned once by adding too much capacity and are cautious now

Signal has bit me already. Every single *Claw supports Signal bots, which pretend to be actual people.

Telegram has explicit first party bot support, a bot is always a bot and identified as such

People criticising Telegram have no idea how big some of the channels there are. They’re stupid big. Like full ass Discord server but with one channel big.

That needs automated moderation tools - bots as well as built in tools to manage lager groups.

Signal doesn’t do that at all. It’s a good replacement for group texts, not communities.

And for me personally: missing first party bot support makes it a complete non-starter.

The engine has one moving part and doesn’t need re-lubrication every year. Makes shit a lot simpler.

How bad is the American power grid?

You guys seriously need to let the wires cool down?

Meanwhile here every house built in the last half century gets 3x230V three phase service with 3x25A main fuses at minimum and can go up to 50A. And that’s just normal residential stuff.

Signal still doesn’t support bots and is shit for bigger groups

Good for 1-10 friends and 1on1 chats tho

It makes a BILLION DOLLARS a year of PROFIT. Not revenue. Profit. Why?

Yea, Jellyfin might be good tech but the fans are insufferable
