The French government doesn't consider WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram secure enough, replaced by Olvid (Google translate link in post text) (www.lepoint.fr)

Another article, much better and presents in more detail that Olvid was audited on an older version and chosen because it was French and they applied for it (French) numerama.com/…/1575168-pourquoi-les-ministres-von…...

I feel like for internal government communications you might not want it to be open source.

Doesnt mean everyone else should want to use it.

I was just about to post Warframe as well - though on PS5 rather than PC.

Is definitely scratching an itch!

Rokk ,

I’m all for having both. I personally prefer ‘AAA’ games over indie games but I think there’s just different flavours for different folks.

That said, SC is a mega scam at this point and I can’t believe people are still continuing to fund it to this level.

I feel like when I dipped my toes into the lore the Tau seemed the closest to good guys that I could find but I don’t know it well

Why is matrix better than discord?

I think any Tory leader would’ve been forced to do the same as Cameron did in that political climate. I know he made the actual decision to have a referendum which was arguably the worst decision in the recent history of our country, but I think with the impact UKIP was having at the time, it was relatively inevitable.

Similar to how the SNP making such huge gain is what forced a Scottish independence referendum.

Edit: I also dread to think about the ‘what if?’ would be like if we didn’t have Covid to kind of push Bojo out.

It’s not so much laziness as the reason you’ve given - everyone else is on WhatsApp. Why would I move to a new messaging app when I literally can’t message the people I want to message on it cause they don’t have it.

Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes....

Rokk ,

I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

I can also buy and sell console games 2nd hand though which isn’t possible on PC anymore.

That said, PC piracy probably wins overall if you’re looking the absolute cheapest option. But that’s kind of a different set of arguments.

Rokk ,

I gamed on PC for many years and basically only moved to a console when I had kids a few a years back.

Both have benefits. For me, I like the not being distracted by other stuff on the console. Like if I sit down to game, on PC I’d often just end up on YouTube, twitch, check reddit, emails, whatever. I like that my console I just use for gaming.

I still play on my PC from time to time and there’s obviously games that are only on PC, but my preference is console for the current phase of life and that’s fine for me.

Rokk ,

No arms though.

As someone that used to love OnePlus, what’s the more recent equivalent?

I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ (www.theverge.com)

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”...

Rokk ,

For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

Rokk ,

Debit cards in the UK generally don’t let you go overdrawn.

Like if I try to buy something and don’t have enough in my account I just get told ‘you can’t buy this’ and have to go transfer some more money to my account.

I pay a £5 monthly fee, but that gets me travel insurance, breakdown cover, mobile phone cover and a bunch of other benefits that I haven’t had to use yet.

I could opt out of that £5 fee and not pay anything at all for my banking. I find all the fees you end up with in the US a little bit insane.

Rokk ,

I go on reddit for the TeachingUK sub and for the rugbyunion sub.

If those communities existed here in any meaningful way then I’d be done with reddit properly at this point.

Rokk ,

I don’t think the solution to that problem though is having multiple, smaller, unconnected grids.

I think it’s to just have a more resilient grid system that doesn’t have any areas that are a single point of a failure

Rokk ,

Cause if you don’t buy the $70 disc drive, then you save $50. That’s the logic…

Long as you’re happy to be limited to digital purchases and not be able to buy 2nd hand games.

I guess the disc drive is also good if you decide a year or two later ‘hmmm, maybe I should’ve got the disc version actually’.

Rokk ,

I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.

Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.

Rokk ,

I’ve a friend with one that I want to try sometime!
