Note that dropping support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 came as part of a butterfly effect of the Chromium project - which Steam depends on - dropping support.

That’s not what I’m doubting here. I was raising awareness to the fact that a computer physically cannot be truly random. I know that pseudorandomness is enough as we cannot perceive a difference easily.
CSPRNG literally stands for “cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator”. All randomness in computers is pseudorandom. Not TRULY random
Radioactive sources for randomness aren’t really just put into your average household PC or phone either for obvious reasons.
We shouldn’t judge people for past decisons when new info comes out, especially when that new info makes them change. It will take some time for people to move and find a viable alternative.
I do not intend this to be an attack of any kind, please be more considerate of the fact that changes can’t be made instantly when you have an audience to move.
Well, computers physically cannot be random, they rely on logic
Note that for this attack to work, you have to be on Android 11 or below (or possibly an earlier patch) as by default accessibility services aren’t allowed to draw-over or interact with elements in the settings app unless you explicitly override it in developer options.
This extends to some other areas, like for when biometric/system lock APIs are used.
I’m really sad that they’ve confirmed they aren’t interested in open source for Obsidian either :(
funnily enough whenever I point out that Privacy ≠ Secrecy in conversations like this I always get the surprised pikachu face and they (indirectly) immediately admit defeat
Widevine DRM works in both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox. HDR Support is nearly done. Yes, we can have different DPI/Scaling per monitor thanks to Wayland.
Go get some up-to-date information.
They didn’t imply that little people were using Nvidia GPUs, he is referring to the fact that you do like…2 extra clicks or so to install Nvidia’s drivers? You don’t even need to open a web browser!
Their “privacy checkup” is pretty much equal to “can you give us your phone number so we can more closely link it to your identity please? 👉👈”
Meaningful interactions, connections and privacy shall be prioritized.
Not because it’s good, but because it’s Google marketing it as a privacy “enhancement”
It is not, it is simply another way to frame privacy violation from Google as some sort of good thing, and I believe as more techy people it is somewhat our duty to inform others about this.
Independent communities shall thrive.
Especially if you’re not gonna play stuff that the anticheat locks you out from, the experience is great. As other commenters have said, ProtonDB.com has resources for how well games on steam run under Proton / On Linux.
Although, I would recommend Nobara Linux over Chimera OS due to a lack of experience with Proton and other gaming-related tools (as in, Chimera developers’ lack of experience). Nobara Linux comes from the same developer as Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll). Proton is the tool that Valve developed to run Windows games pretty much seemlessly, and Proton-GE adds extra features and patches on-top of it that can help support more games or get the slightest extra bit of performance out of Proton. Nobara Linux extends this concept to the entire OS, with a stable Fedora base that gets a major update every ~6 months.
Nobara also consitently outperforms other Linux Distributions and even Windows regularly.
(This doesn’t mean that you don’t get updates for 6 months, just that major releases, e.g from 39 to 40 happen every ~6 months)
