GOG has the benefit of being completely DRM-free and not requiring their application to download, install, or run games. (They have a storefront app, but you can also buy games and download stand-alone installers with a web browser.)

Steam has the benefit of contributing a lot to gaming on Linux, to the point where ditching Windows is now very much viable in most cases. (Games with certain specific anti-cheat systems are the main exception.)

I'm happy to spend money with either of them, for different reasons.

I wonder if Conduwuit would be worth a try. I don't know anything about the maintainer or what led to the fork, but I see it already has active contributors.

Which server software are you running? Any recent experience with Conduit or Dendrite?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

It looks pretty cool, but I don't buy Denuvo games. I wonder if they'll publish a version without it.

The clients and servers are laggy

Which ones, exactly? The largest public server was laggy about two or three years ago, but hasn't been recently in my experience, and in any case, you can pick a different server or run your own. I have never seen a laggy client.

federation is shit etc .

Again, that doesn't match my experience, and what you've written is too vague to have any useful meaning.

no hope in arguing .

Apparently not. Good day.

Matrix is shit atm mate

No, it is not.

bashes XMPP for no real reason .

No, it does not.

Briar and SimpleX is the gold standard for now

No, they are not. They might fit a certain niche (or could once they mature) but neither is a good general-purpose messenger, because their goals and designs inherently limit usability.

No messaging platform fits every use case, but Matrix is great for general-purpose private messaging that anyone, anywhere can easily use, without Google services, without a phone number, and without being vulnerable to shutdown if a single country's laws turn unfavorable. It has other advantages as well. It's not flawless, but is constantly improving, and is already very useful to many people.

If you have a specific criticism that you can actually support with facts, you could bring it up for discussion. Slinging vague attacks that look a lot like something one might see in a poorly-informed reddit post doesn't help anyone.

Whatever the real motivations might be, this is deeply irresponsible. I hope it turns out to violate the state constitution or some similarly strong law, and gets rejected.

There is also Matrix, which has advantages over both of them.

Which algorithm are you referring to exactly?

In general, people are wise to use ciphers and protocols that have been examined by the global cryptography community and have held up to that scrutiny.

To know what features people are using, how fast it’s running, know what hardware and where it’s being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues?

None of those things are what's being discussed here, or what GP asked about. As stated in the article, this is about categorizing people's searches.

Neat. Where does the name come from? What does it mean?

I heard from a friend that one can find lots of them here:
(But I suggest avoiding it.)
