Because DirectX is more than a graphics API.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX
A fair amount of what used to make DirectX an everything API has been deprecated, but if you are already using Windows stuff for networking and audio, then you may as well use the graphics APIs too.
I do think Proton gets a little too much credit.
Why? Valve has been sponsoring all these projects for a really long time. While wine existed before that, it wouldn’t be anywhere near the shape thats its currently in because gaming was not its main focus. There have been loads of gaming bugs and sharp edges that have been around wine for a long time until Valve put in the money and devs to fix them.
And nzb360
Also if anyone else wrote it, there would be so much savaging of weasel words.
They brag that they don’t retain this data, so when governments request historical data they don’t have it.
They don’t say that they don’t provide it for anyone else to retain, so if they are given the to and from to process the message, and provide this to the CIA to retain then all of this security would be useless but would also fulfill all of the claims here.
No.
We have been exploring techniques to further reduce the amount of information that is accessible to the service, and the latest beta release includes changes designed to move Signal incrementally closer to the goal of hiding another piece of metadata: who is messaging whom.
They haven’t hidden it yet. It’s a goal.
Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?
They are referring to message metadata.
Even if they don’t show the content of messages, if they can show that phone number A is sending messages and getting replies to number B then that’s all the government needs.
For the purpose of operating our Services, you agree to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy, as well as the transfer of your encrypted information and metadata to the United States and other countries where we have or use facilities, service providers or partners.
They store metadata, which is distinct from encrypted data.
Are you saying sealed sender is a lie?
https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/
When you send a traditional piece of physical mail, the outside of the package typically includes the address of both the sender and the recipient. The same basic components are present in a Signal message. The service can’t “see into” the encrypted package contents, but it uses the information written on the outside of the package to facilitate asynchronous message delivery between users.
They have a list of encrypted messages, who it’s from and who it’s to, based upon the sealed sender description. If you are using phone numbers then you are not anonymous, and a TLA agency can search known bad numbers even if Signal does not try to build that graph.
Completely agree, I was trying to avoid the “well actually” response.
I’ve had a number of items get held by FedEx (or whoever) because of import duties over the years and I’ve had to pay the delivery company to get it released.
This is a well worn path, and kudos to this one to warn you that new tarrifs are in place, the customer would be subject to them, and giving them an option to decline it.
Import duties are not always part of the agreement.
They didn’t change the rules, there is now a charge by the government on it getting delivered, not by the company.
Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They’ll break down in transit!
That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They’ll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.
Thats fine if it works for you.
My comment on all of this was purely that Bitwarden password was a single point of failure. Now we can shift that single point of failure somewhere else!
I’m not sure what the solution is.
Find a new single point of failure?
I would kill for an all in one, “single pane of glass” way to browse
We used to have one, and it was great.
RIP Boxee.
Are you claiming that people condemning invasion of Ukraine are bad then?
Because “the entire west” does not condemn true socialism, or communism.
Vocal mouthpieces do.
The UK general election in 2019 had 40% of seats go to Corbyn, vs 42% going to the Tories. There is work to be done, but the reported numbers don’t get the profile of reality.
Not sure what you are talking about.
No one condemns Jews for being Jews, people condemn trapping people in walled camps, denying them food and aid and then blanket bombing them. Regardless of the perpetrator.
The Nazis are the ones supporting it.
They don’t, but by providing a “classic tier” they get to kill anyone’s argument against it by saying “just don’t get it”, until they then discontinue the “classic tier” due to a “lack of demand”, and force Office users to have AI and pay for it too.
I do this. However I also hit the limit of disposable cards.
Turns out to not be as many as I would have thought.
It works on Intel.
Are you sure about your statement?
Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.
99% of bands didn’t make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.
