Lol I don’t know what you want man, i didn’t realize this was one of those “digging my heels in because I don’t know how to be wrong” threads. I’ll let you do your thing, peace.

Who is “we”? I’m responding to your top level comment. You just asked the creator of an exclusively client-side app whether they support encryption. Not only is it reasonable for me to assume you mean client side encryption, it’s unreasonable for you to ask for server side encryption, because there is no server. It’s a BYOBackend situation.

Now if you’re asking for client-side encryption, something like Keepass where the file itself is encrypted, you have to use some form of auth to decrypt it on use, and you can store this file using whatever backend you want, that’s perfectly reasonable. I would still consider that encrypted at rest, but at least you could maybe separate encrypted reads from writes and limit the attack surface in the event of a breach.

Yeah, the combat is the least interesting part of the Control universe IMO. It was a shame they went the bullet sponge route with Firebreak. I felt they could have gone the friend-slop route and made a Repo-like set in the oldest house. The weirdness is the fun part, and I think the shooter aspect feels obligatory. AW2 was a better balance I thought. Felt like the game was 1/3 interesting cutscenes and story development, 1/3 exploration, 1/3 combat.

I feel like the genres of Warhammer 40K games are all over the place. Last year they put out a racing game.

I felt this way about Eastward and Pyre. Both were beautiful games, amazing art, well written characters, excellent soundtracks, but the actual gameplay didn’t grab me.

All phones are already disk encrypted these days. If you want disk encryption on your PC, you should enable it. Otherwise, it’s the responsibility of whatever backend you choose to handle encryption over the network.

YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.

He truly was

Yes, definitely, but that’s a separate topic.

“I understand being upset, and I understand voicing your opinion,” said Kaplan. “But if a game comes out and you don’t want to play it, and you never played it–shut the f*** up!”

This was directed at twitter lol.

Agreed, but it does make sense from an evolutionary/anthropological perspective. The thing to keep in mind is: it’s perfectly rational for a person to act irrationally if it improves their survivability.

If your king declares that the country is now Catholic, and anyone who believes otherwise will be executed, then the people who survive are gonna be devout Catholics.

Rational Irrationality is real.

Looks like the Vatican is gonna need a regime change.

It’s not a “take”, that’s just how it is.

I also dislike ad-based funding of everything, that’s why I’m on the fediverse. Also don’t like a “take”-based internet, but don’t tell anyone…

You can say any word on yt, it’s just that some get deprioritized by the algorithm, which hurts ad revenue, so people choose to self-censor. That’s different from them taking something down so it can’t be viewed at all.

I don’t think anyone would read it to mean that. Also, he interviews just as many people on the left, but mostly people who are…just completely out there.

Shhh, Andrew works very hard to convince that side that they can trust him to do an interview. After the Shirley stuff, he needs something like this to be able to get back behind enemy lines.

How about we just give it a bit, eh?

The “Most Transparent President in History” everyone.

This is the first time they’ve done it in the face of an impending blue wave, though. I was actually considering just a few days ago that, given the polls, republicans removing trump might be their only chance (besides a full-on military coup) at retaining any shred of power through midterms. What’s left of the republican party will fall flat on its face without trump (as cults typically do), but they also can’t afford to keep him around because he’s so supremely unpopular.

They’ve really backed themselves into a corner. Now the question is: how overtly fascist are they willing to go? Is the impeachment just a hedge to try and survive midterms? Guess we’ll see…

I would be happy with one guideline: taxpayers should see and feel the impact of their tax dollars.

It feels like that’s currently not a priority at all. The govt can just hand the money to some middleman who pockets 90% for a job worth 10%, and no one checks on it. DOGE was the pinnacle of this practice; honestly felt like Elon and Trump said “hey, you know what would be funny?”

Posted on April fools. Is the joke that it’s such old news?
