There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.
Imagine a completely different OS running software made for your OS better than your actual OS could. This is Microsoft Windows

Does anyone else think it is ironic to buy a phone from one of the most unprivate companies in order to have a private experience?

The BIOS is part of your operating system and pee is stored in the balls.
The BIOS is an operating system, albeit a super low level one. What is wrong here? It would only be software gore if it said that it was part of the windows operating system, since the BIOS is a system operating system.

Discord says piracy subpoena would violate users’ First Amendment rights
Reply in thread
While this is true, Discord has a massive user base, so it’s somewhat a privacy win for the common person

Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourced
Open source will always be the best option, especially with a government supporting it! Imagine what government funding could do to accelerate improvements to Linux

First game emulator to be approved in the AppStore - iGBA
Interesting for sure, but it looks like an ad-ridden clone of GBA4iOS, so I may just stick with sideloaded Ignited for now. In my opinion though, this is a big step, as others are probably soon to follow with possibly better ones.

A message to new users
I feel right at home in the fediverse, it gives me a much more secure feeling than Reddit. Thank you devs for your hard work at creating a suitable alternative.

Hey is Sharing Luigi’s Manifesto on Social Media Actually "Glorifying Violence"? Because Reddit Said So 😭
Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos

Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan
Reply in thread
The Tea app is agnostic. While its purpose and main use case was made for the safety of women in the dating scene, it was inevitably used to spread exaggerated or misleading information about otherwise innocent men. Imagine being a privacy-conscious individual, and breaking up with a toxic woman. She could go on to spread lies about you and even upload pictures of you to the reverse image search/ai. So even if you were doing everything right from a privacy standpoint, you’d still end up in someone’s private database, subjected to ai training, shared with the government, or who knows what. While I do see the purpose of apps like these, they can effectively take away someone’s privacy/dignity without them even knowing about it. Now imagine being a 4channer, someone probably even more privacy-conscious than lemmings, and possibly experiencing mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or autism; of course they’re drawn to hacking an app that would destroy their privacy. They are not sane individuals, so this event really was inevitable.

4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act
Is it even possible for Ofcom to legally fine 4chan for these issues? How does a company in the UK fine a US company?

As another once said, “Elon Musk is a stupid man’s genius,” and after all of his tantrums, I see it as true.

Mask bans are growing in popularity. Critics call the trend a 'dog whistle' to quell protest.
Anyone else think that this is a little bizarre? What about cancer patients? Don’t they need masks in public?

Score one for atheism!
As long as they aren’t doing horrible things in the name of religion, then I have the controversial opinion that religion isn’t all bad. Not everyone is an intellectual, therefore some religions can be considered a way to promote and preserve morals. While it’s unknown how his mother used religion, the neckband portrayed in the comic had no regard for his mother’s feelings or beliefs, showcasing the bad side of atheism. In the same way, religion could have similar effects. In the end there needs to be balance, a yin and a yang.

Microsoft Defender Flags Tor Browser as a Trojan and Removes It from the System
