The linked page clearly states this about the Facebook presence:

“The Debian page is non-official. It is maintained by Raphaël Hertzog.”

Debian user here, happy to be running such a low-maintenance OS. Thanks for making me laugh out loud.

I like IRC, too, but I have to admit some of its mechanisms are annoying and not very good. (Nickserv for identity management, for example.)

I don’t think IRC is as good as Matrix for decentralisation, either. If an IRC host network goes down or is taken over, it’s very disruptive to the communities using it, as we saw with the freenode fiasco.

Ever since playing and liking Tomb Raider (2013), I have noticed it being compared to Uncharted, which made me curious about the latter. However, the clips I’ve seen made Uncharted’s characters seem focused on being macho men, rather than being humans exploring dangerous environments. Is it like that throughout, or did I just randomly find video clips that happened to highlight a single minor aspect of the games?

Practically all game publishers do. Sadly, it’s the industry standard.

(By the way, you linked Steam’s subscriber agreement, which concerns Steam’s service and client software, not the games bought on Steam. Maybe you meant to link a Valve game license?)

In any case, it doesn’t matter here, because the complaint was about Steam, not Valve.

It’s not an English word. Its use here is most likely a misspelling of “shady”, which means disreputable, questionable, or possibly up to no good.

It’s not Steam’s decision to make. The statement you’re referring to is just Steam highlighting a decision made by the game publishers. Even if Steam didn’t highlight it, it would still exist, as you would see if you read the games’ license terms before paying.

Ubisoft is a game publisher. They actually make the decision that you don’t own the games you pay for.

Was Elivis considered particularly versatile?

The Reddit that was once an unmatched source of useful information has been dead for some time. Any good that might still be created there is now drowned in a flood of bots, spam, astroturfing, advertising, manipulation, and ignorance with enormous ego.

IMHO, routing that sewage into our communities here would be a mistake.

As I recall, Delta Chat is a front end for opportunistic PGP over email, so I guess this must be a spec for sharing web apps over that channel. Yes?

How does it compare to Matrix widgets?

In English, to dump is (usually) to unload or discard, so its use here is a bit strange. I thought I understood what was meant anyway, but I wasn’t sure.

“Dump”? Is that a literal translation of the Danish word for failure?

I think my question was clear enough. The comment didn’t mention banks, I’ve never had a bank that did that, and we generally don’t try to hide our identities from our banks anyway. My best guess was that they misunderstood how public/private keys work, but since that was only a guess, I asked.

I don’t see a claim of it being more private than a username. Perhaps the person you’re arguing with views them as equally private, or is thinking of services that require some form of contact info. I can’t speak for them.

LOL what? No they’re not. How does an email protect your privacy over just a username?

They said per-account email addresses, presumably meaning that when giving out an email address, you would use a different one for each service. That way, they couldn’t be used to link you across services, and you could easily delete one (and know who to blame) if it was abused.
