Has Signal ever considered implementing any sort of peer to peer message propagation?

What are the chances this will outperform ARM based computers in the next 15 years? Will we get Macbook airs with this in the fourties?

Why are these apps on bluetooth? I'm surprised no one has come up with a way to transmit data over local ad hoc wifi networks, it must surely be more simple if you could make some sort of transient hot spot

The EU is accelerating into a bureaucratic Rube Goldberg machine that does nothing except say the word Democracy out loud and tax their citizens

No just directly in Steam. You can just add a non steam game to your library and select the .exe file you want, and steam will create a c drive environment for each non steam game you add.

In some cases you might have to change which exe file it runs, if you initially run a setup.exe which creates the real exe file you'd want to launch inside the c drive environment folder

I've found that running non steam apps on steam with the proton experimental compatibility usually just works, it has become my go to solution

the majority of the population will happily put on the noose and they will join in on pressuring you to do it too. Don't kid yourself. However, a successful resistance movement only requires like 3% of the population or something

one of my favorite books, great combination of philosophy and adventure. I especially like what reminds me of the vibe I would get from other sci fi and video games from America in the 90s. I also enjoyed his short story in the same universe "A Casino Odyssey in Cyberspace"
