Also adding to other people, they "poached" games from other platforms.

eg they wanted Rocket League, which I have on Steam and am happy to continue using there, to be completely removed from my account and available through the epic launcher some 3(?) years after I first bought it. Eventually they backpedaled, only due to community backlash, people that owned it on steam can still play it there.

If you're serious about not knowing about all this stuff take a look at https://steamcommunity.com/groups/EpicGamesSucks/discussions/0/1796278072844560561/ Obviously Steam biased, but a very good index

I agreee with you on the side of the concept, but the way it is organised and the potential values seem to make no intuitive sense (if they make any)

This sounds interesting. Do you have sources for these studies and models?

I need to put up some windows in the Hague, you seem to know your shit, care to pm me your company or contractor?

Maybe a bit niche, but if you're in the Scala ecosystem and seen what happened with Akka -> Apache Pekko. Version one of Pekko was a 1-1 rename of Akka

I would not market an industry well know for burnouts as "low stress" though.

Man I was going to agree with you until you brought up that you can be healthy eating McDonalds as long as you can control the portions. Eating hyper processed food WILL lead to worse health outcomes, just filter out industry sponsored studies and look at the results.

I've been using gocryptfs now for a few years and it works fine as you describe.

You initiate the encrypted folder, set up automatic backups for it. Then whenever you want to access it you mount it into another folder.

There is a distinction here between the permanently encrypted folder that you can upload backup whatever, and your temporary mount, unencrypted folder.

If you're alright with the rare conflicts to fix yourself something like syncthing works well for this setup even across computers.

What's your experience with running /e/OS/ with banking apps and things like that? I've been considering a degoogled Android phone like Fairphone

This type of libraries are exactly what makes neovim thrive as a daily driver, it's so easy to customise and manage your own workflows

Iam curious what exactly you're doing. Are you setting up encrypted machines and sending PGP emails to each other?

As someone that has also spent an unnecessary amount of time doing things like setting up developer envs, ricing and encryption on the steam deck I appreciate this post 👍

Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don't think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs

Just fyi if you want to block ads on your phone you can go to your WIFI settings and set DNS to the AdGuard website or some similar service. Google is your friend for step by step guides

Do you have any interest in relocating outside India? You seem to have a good domain of English and softskills on top of some Linux. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the personal projects you mention

This is the way

You're welcome. You should also try without the app by setting it to something like dns.adguard-dns.com if the app is only a trial!

I am curious, can you please offer your rebuttal on how a vegan diet can be as healthy as a balanced low processed food omnivore diet.

There's a whole range of editors depending on how much of an IDE hobbyist you want to be. VSCode is right smack down the middle from don't care at all to care too much.

For my opinion on the high end of quality from "I don't care I just want it to work" to "I make my own optimized tooling":

• All of the Jetbrains editors, nearly language specific, sane out of the box defaults, industry standard.
• VSCode, multilingual, good defaults, good plugin ecosystem, configurable when you need it to.
• NeoVim, multilingual, basic defaults, install your own plugins, completely customize your IDE, code features (language servers, highlighting, completions). Really good plugin ecosystem

Also the see the Godot documentation for some more ideas https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/configuring_an_ide/index.html

Do you have a source for this article? I've found that this has happened on my company and I am curious about the phenomenon
