To directly quote Linus:

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

Posting messages that make progressive people apathetic about the state of the electoral system right before an election, is literally equivalent to actively campaigning for the less progressive option. It is straight up an anti-democratic tactic frequently used by Republicans to lower democratic voter turnout.

Dude I am European, and definitely not Republican,

Russia is not part of Europe, so if you're actually from Europe, learn to stay in your lane and not try to influence a foreign election, if you are Russian, go fuck yourself and stop trying to influence a foreign election.

Shut the fuck up with this Republican trash.

I've never been in, nor contemplated the possible existence of, a situation where picking the less bad option was infinitely better than picking the most bad option.

Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up.

I'd like to think it's a user benefit, but I mean, historically.... it wont't be. (Yes they claim it's encrypted, but I don't trust Meta one bit to still not have some way to use this data for their benefit.)

Eh, I would actually believe this is purely user driven. Their solution doesn't sound like it will work differently in Europe vs the rest of the world, and if their claims about it being encrypted and only user accessible are true, there is fundamentally no benefit to them from a data harvesting stand point.

They also face a lot of competition in the messaging space, moreso than any of their other apps, which will generally incentivize them to be more user focused.

The only low-code platform I actually respect.

They explicitly call out that lonely solo play is still a focus.

No, I never even heard of that, I just built a cool base and then wanted to be able to show it to my friends

Below Zero scratched a bit of the Subnautica itch, but it didn't reach the same highs. Hopefully Subnautica 2 can somehow recapture some of the magic of the first one.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The developers are careful to point out that if you're one of "those who prefer the eerily beautiful solitude of solo play, Subnautica 2 will still provide that familiar experience, and prove equally as challenging."

His whole premise is undermined by him not doing any research on the topic before deciding to write a blog post. Proton passkeys for instance, are cross platform, and the ability to transfer passkeys between devices is one of the features being worked on by the other providers.
