Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they're cloning.

Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, "you know I'll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone"

Don't play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.

I use a proxy so I always have a a little flame bht still torrent at 10mb down, but I'm not all that worried about it.

Ehhhh I disagree that package managers handle cleanup correctly, I've certainly had tons of dotfiles left in ~/ mucking things up when reinstalling apps, even those that have been purged by package managers.

The package manager, much like the windows installer/uninstaller, relies on the developer to be responsible in declaring how the package is meant to be managed. If users have manual steps at installation, they will have manual steps at uninstallation as well.

Android emulators exist on both windows and Linux allowing the android variant to run on desktop. With most modern machines this is a viable alternative to running natively, with some overhead of course.

Since you seem to understand it then:

How do two clients communicsting over a proprietary network negotiate an end to end encrypted chat channel without sharing keys in an easily decrypted manner?

It seems to me that some kind of handshake needs to occur where the clients need to agree on a cypher, so how does this happen securely?

I'm not worried about encryption being broken, it just seems like if you're handing the keys over the mail, it's pretty easy to xray the package and copy the key, is the same not true over digital communication?

Not by default, but yea it is encrypted, I use almost exclusively encrypted chats through TG, even my voice and video calls are encrypted through TG.

E2e encryption is security theater though, a chance for companies to tell states "We'D lOvE tO hAnD oVeR tHaT dAtA bUt ItS eNcYpTeD".

In reality, it doesn't matter, if someone wants to snoop on your convos you can't stop them.

You're more hopeful than you've been given any reason to be to assume this will be over in 4 years.

Your complacency is their enforcement mechanism.

It absolutely supports GPU encoding, it is compatible with nvenc if you don't have the flatpak variant, but the Flatpak variant can't touch your gpu

It can if you get libdvdcss and place it in the correct directory, not sure if it can do Bluray though, that's what I use makemkv for

This is an XY solution but...

Telegram and similar services offer both calling and texting and can be carried across devices. It's linked to the same phone number, all folks would have to know is "between these hours call telegram"

I'll keep an eye out on Craigslist and ask some of my small business contacts where they got their.

Looked into this recently, where do I get commercial signage that isn't 6x the price for the same size screen?
