  I’d guess it’s because encryption adds overhead and slows things down. It’s also overkill for most people’s needs, since the chance to get their PC stolen isn’t worth the performance impact

  Roblox was broken on Deck and linux by the addition of a new anti-cheat

  Afaik, it wasn’t broken. The Roblox devs put in extra work to block Linux users from playing because according to them “the majority of cheaters are on Linux”. Who knows if that’s true

  Does this mean pre Turing will stop getting updates?

  I’m sure this won’t be abused like everything browsers allow websites to do

  Finally, been wanting to play this since forever. Would never buy myself a console though as I hate arbitrary locks

  Not true. You can always use steamcmd/the steam console to download any old version

  There’s even tools to help with that

  I’d recommend reinstalling all your packagos like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How one unexpected game (Nier Automata) changed the Steam Deck forever⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gameplay itself isn’t anything special but it’s fun enough to keep you engaged, but the story is the real reason to play this game.

  I have to disagree, I loved the combat and exploration in this game. Story was good, but the music and combat is what keeps me going back

  uBlock can also block Javascript just like NoScript

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yum!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?

  According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

  Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again

  Yeah, that’s why Tor Browser has such strong privacy. You blend into the rrowd because everyone’s resistance is the same :)

  There’s so many more tricks to identify you, check out browserleaks.com

  It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yum!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  uBlock Origin and JShelter disagree.

  Additionally one could improve that further by using a VPN

  If you wanna be extreme you could also just use the Tor Browser
