Yeah, that’s the one I meant.
I did assume it was Bible skinned shovelware.
But being made by classic era Konami and getting a Steam re-release had me confused.
That’s good to hear. I guess I’ll keep an eye out for it on my next retro game deep shopping trip.
I dunno, since if recently got a Steam re-release, it seems like someone must still be buying Noah’s Adventure, even today.
That’s a good idea. I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you.
I had a hard time choosing a link. Searching GitHub for “F-Droid” reveals a long convoluted back-and-forth about meeting F-Droid’s requirements for reproducible builds. Signal is not, as of earlier today, listed on F-Droid.
F-Droid’s reproducibility rules are meant to cut out the kind of shenanigans that would be necessary to hide a back door in the binaries.
Again, this isn’t proof. But it’s beyond fishy for an open source security tool.
Edit: And Signal’s official statements on the topic are always reasonable - but kind of bullshit.
Reasonable in that I alwould absolutely accept that answer, if it were the first time that Signal rejected a contribution to add it to F-Droid.
Bullshit in that it’s been a long time, lots of folks have volunteered to help, and Signal still isn’t available on F-Droid.
Could be, but my nephew played thousands of hours of CoD.
This is my admission that I don’t think I’m a good enough parent to counteract thousands of hours spent with a MIC funded game.
I actually trust my kids would probably do better anyway, but they know I would be disappointed if they bought their own copies of CoD, and they seem to respect that.
I don’t want my kids participating in the daily network effect of CoD, either. I don’t want them encouraging their friends to try CoD by having and regularly playing a copy.
That said, if I ever catch my kids playing CoD at a random LAN party - without me - they probably realize they’ll get a lecture - that they had better invite me next time. (I’m pretty sure I can out-parent the MIC for hour or two a month.)
So like what games do you ban?
My kids are only allowed to play the Steam re-release of Noah’s Ark for NES..
Nah. I’m just fucking with you.
My kids are specificially not allowed to play the Call of Duty series, and anything with game art that I could mistake for it. (Some modern warfare style games accept funding from the US military, and I can’t be arsed to keep track of which ones.)
For some idea where I draw the line, I do play Halo with my older kids.
I don’t have such a source, but the Cybersecurity community throw accusations around easily, and are loathe to ever bless any software as completely innocent - which is a good thing.
When the accusations stop, the issue has either been addressed (typical outcome), or the product owner was written off by the Cybersecurity community as a lost cause (rare, but it happens).
Signal is weird about actually allowing others to reproduce the APK builds.
Specifically, they are the kind of weird about it that one would expect if the Signal client app had an NSA back-door injected at build time.
This doesn’t prove anything. It just stands next to anything and waggles it’s eyebrows meaningfully.
Those look like military industrial complex budget numbers.
I try not to let my kids play games that normalize war, ever since my nephew enlisted out of a sense of duty - after playing a lot of CoD.
Enlisting basically ruined his life. His choice to enlist interrupted his successful small business venture and left him with PTSD.
Dang. Nice. Having a Palm PDA with Simon’s Puzzles in 2024 2025 is epic. I would take that thing to parties…and, at the kind of parties I attend, it would make me royalty.
What I’m hearing is that Sonic and Mario are going to sometimes render with a full set of five fingers (since AI often randomly adds extra fingers)…
And it feels incredibly clunky to use with gdm when signing in, where no extension can help it…
That’s true. Windows also did this badly, on the same tablet, so I didn’t notice.
If KDE does better, I might switch. I think I would use my tablet un-docked more often if logging in wasn’t so clunky.
I was expecting gnuImp.
I run Gnome on Debian on a tablet, and I find it wonderful.
Of course, my only points of comparison, so far, are iOS, Android and Windows tablets. Gnome is (per my own arbitrary last use of each) quite a bit nicer than any of those, at least.
