Too late now that this got media awareness, if you believe a GoFundMe is going to raise more than some right-wing media outlet I have a bridge to sell

And that’s fine, but first people like you (and me to some extent) are in the vast minority and that’s also not an issue of bloatware per se.

Even pixel or Fairphone is fairly free of bloatware compared to Samsung and shitty Chinese brands as long as you are not privacy paranoid about Google services.

And without survival instinct or adrenaline to distract during decisions, great!

Doesn’t really matter to a regular user, in that case it’s"Firefox doesn’t work"

I don’t really understand who you are getting at here. Everyone I know uses this combined with regular ad blockers. Anyway, once they figure out how to properly inject ads into the stream blocking is going to get really hard.

“Spitzenverdiener” nach Steuersatz sind weitaus mehr als 1%, genau das ist das Problem. Insbesondere Inflationsbedingt rutschen immer mehr in den höchsten Steuersatz, anstatt mal bei vermögenden Geld zu holen werden hier normale arbeitstägige geschröpft. Jetzt gibt es Entlastungen oder wie ich es nennen würde Angleichungen und der unterdurchschnittlich Verdienende ärgert sich, dass “die da oben” jetzt auch noch weniger zahlen müssen. Leider arbeiten die meisten Spitzenverdiener genauso wie alle anderen Vollzeit und stehen an der Supermarktkasse neben ihm.

Same on ddg

Maybe they should add a system where you can vote on some representatives who decide about the spending in some kind of council

And I don’t think you understand OPs point. Of course you should be paranoid as a person like that, but most users aren’t targets. If you, as a regular user, get this paranoid about using computers, maybe you should evaluate your priorities.

Because it’s easy and free, GitHub has great static page hosting

Yeah, it started on day 1 though. Release day always sucks and the devs have been more than transparent

You and me, I was confused about the round areas until I scrolled down

The gameplay is amazing, endgame has a few options and very rewarding gear acquisition mechanics. Currently the steam reviews are getting bombed because of server issues since release, which are getting better everyday. The foundational mechanics are great, class/mastery have room for additions and the faction system allows for different endgame focus areas.

I would highly recommend the game to anyone feeling overwhelmed by PoE or bored by Diablo.

It’s a bit of a meme because german politics is so heavily lobbied by our car industry.

I use backblaze as a target with duplicacy, pretty cheap and allows free downloads of up to 3x your data per month. I use about 500gb there.

3-2-1 means 3 copies total on 2 different media with 1 copy off-site. An easy way to implement would be make a local copy outside of your NAS/RAID(different NAS or external HDD) and create a copy of that somewhere in the cloud or hosting(backblaze for example)

You should probably not look at your whole storage when thinking about Backup, but create different logical pools. For example I have 3 pools: media files, personal files&photos, app config files for my docker.

I don’t backup the media files because I can reacquire them, I have a very strict backup policy for my personal files and a more relaxed policy for my config files.

I use duplicacy to manage a local copy and a cloud copy and do restore tests sometimes. Duplicacy can also manage retention of its snapshots so I can keep years old versions of my personal files but only a few weeks worth of config

Well you could start by regulating the major US companies since those are the root of the issue described here. The internet as an abstract space is perfectly fine because there are enough independent providers for the required services to use or host on the internet. It’s the few that abuse.

You didn’t offend me, but you also didn’t really clarify what you actually want/need which made me think you just wanted to complain 🤷‍♂️ steam works and it’s way better than all of the alternatives. While you might find solutions for just managing games, nothing offers the level of “just works” as steam input and proton in Steam.
