Gabe Newell believes piracy is a result of inferior service or access. I believe the original poster is stating that piracy has become the answer here because it’s the only place to find this media.

I think this is the answer. Thanks for your recommendation. I’ll test this out soon. It seems to check all the boxes and I found this website providing good reasons to use it.

The reasons I prefer Jitsi Meet to Zoom include the following:

1. no subscriptions are required to use all the features of Jitsi Meet;
2. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require you to sign up;
3. unlike Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not require the installation of an application — it runs in Google Chrome or Firefox;
4. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not impose a time limit on the length of the meeting;
5. unlike the free version of Zoom, Jitsi Meet does not have a limit on the number of meeting attendees;
6. Jitsi Meet provides end-to-end encryption for one-to-one video calls*;
7. I find the performance of Jitsi Meet better than Zoom, which seems to be corroborated in basic benchmarking by Jitsi Meet’s developers (‘WebRTC vs. Zoom – A Simple Congestion Test‘);
8. I find image quality better in Jitsi Meet;
9. I find Jitsi Meet on a desktop/laptop more intuitive and easier to use than Zoom;
10. if I share audio in Zoom for Linux, the audio is very distorted**;
11. I find the UI of the Jitsi Meet app for Android easy to use (the app can be installed via Google Play);
12. Jitsi Meet is open-source, so anyone can inspect the source code;
13. if I wanted to, I could download the Jitsi software to my own server and set up a Jitsi Meet server to handle meetings instead of using the Cloud server provided by 8×8, Inc. (the company that develops the Jitsi Meetings software).

Thanks. I looked into it. Doesn’t appear that video or screen sharing are available yet, though is a work in progress. I’ll check back on this later when these features are added.

Thank you for your contributions! Your work makes it easy to stay informed.

Fair enough. I tried HeliBoard because it was recommended and stuck with it. I don’t use voice to text, but got swipe texting to work on HeliBoard

What are your thoughts on HeliBoard compared to FUTO?

Try Molly instead which is a hardened fork of Signal. Molly uses the same servers and is transparent to the operator.

You can install Molly through F-Droid or Accrescent.

The bottom line was in total, no vulnerabilities were found.

I recently learned this as well. Thanks, Fediverse!

I read in a previous post that Trump’s plan leaked:

The plan requires Ukraine to give up land in Russia’s Kursk region and also to accept Russia’s land grab. European soldiers would also occupy and monitor a demilitarized zone.

Ukraine would also have to agree not to seek membership in NATO

If true, Russia is getting what it wants.

The hardest part is when you have to curate by yourself. To me RSS feels like a lot of work upfront. Is there a tool to help discover items to add to your feed aligned with your interest?

What are everyone’s thoughts on Molly, advertised as a hardened fork of Signal?

I read Molly is forked from Signal. Can I message Signal users from Molly, or do all parties need Molly?

But does this account for our days getting longer?

Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend’s list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.

Update: Invites using the Steam friend list was simple and worked well.

Same, but I can understand that Valve doesn’t want to give false impressions that a game runs perfectly when there are imperfections as mentioned. Valve has high community trust.

But yeah, I usually just read the incompatibility issues and usually decide it’s not a big deal and play anyway.

Good products are worth sharing to help shape future products. Grass roots only works if the product is worth using. Vote with your wallet to help shape future products. While the previously poster can be viewed as an “ad”, the post is same as a next door neighbor bringing it up. Mullvad doesn’t do affiliate marketing or pay influencers.

I used to use Mullvad but now I use a different service, but especially like to support open source products.

My go to solution.
