I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to “no right to online anonymity” is “online anonymity is illegal”, and it’s pretty obvious we’re headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.
Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.
The characters are great. It’s not BG3 obviously, but there’s enough depth there. Like I said, it’s on the level of a goofy action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you’ll be entertained nonetheless.
It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don’t feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn’t feel very meaty. It’s still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.
I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It’s gorgeous looking but the shooting didn’t have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn’t feel the need to 100% it.
Couldn’t participate in these threads for a while, because it would have been the same game over and over again. But now I’m finally free! I beat Baldurs Gate 3 with a 150+ hours resist dark urge run.
I started Immortals of Aveum as a palate cleanser. Pretty decent FPS with a cool story and lots of secrets.
Nobara is great distro that includes nvidia fixes and has a KDE spin
I tried switching from Fennec to Mull a couple years ago, but every third site broke with it. So I reinstalled Fennec.
I think tmdb should have you covered
Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases
It’s probably gone. But maybe you could have some luck looking for it in your BIOS like others suggested.
I haven’t used windows in quite a while, but while I did, on laptops sold with windows there was a recovery partition on them you could reinstall windows from. If you removed that partition you had no legal way of reinstalling, because no key was made available to you at any point.
I think you severely underestimate how our devices are networked nowadays. It’s not about the device directly next to you. It’s about what is beeing agreggated in the back end. Google and Apple have an extensive BT and Wifi map that can locate specific devices very accurately at all times. Which of course is enriched with other device data from installed apps, like where you shop, what you shop, maybe even vitals from your smartwatch etc. to create a scarily accurate persona attached to your name. That’s on a whole other level than what you can do with a license plate.
That being sad I respect your choice as well. Being privacy conscientious is a bit of work.
It’s not the music, it’s location data. BT broadcasts a unique ID to your device. Every device with BT will receive that ID to check if it knows you. That’s inherent to the protocol and works as designed. Apps will be able to learn yours and other peoples location that way. That’s basically how Apples Airtag network operates.
I know, it’s defo more comfortable. Like I said, I just can’t deal with the privacy issues related to BT. If there were earbuds supporting some kind of privacy friendly wireless protocol, I’d use them.
Read the comments. Plenty of good reasons to want a jack.
Redmi Note 7. It’s pretty old. Luckily the batteries are still ok.
Still a requirement for me. I listen to music and podcasts while I run, and I run a lot. But I don’t want to deal with the privacy issues of leaving my BT on when I leave home. And USB dongles physical connections just aren’t as reliable with a lot of motion.

I’m curious to see how the combat mechanics will be accepted. Reads like Mass Effect in a high fantasy setting. Could be cool, but at the same time, Dragon Age fans will come to expect something more strategic.
