Thankfully this was discovered before hitting stable distros but I'm hoping it increases scrutiny across the board. We dodged a bullet on this one.

I use a real sounding name like [email protected]

The more real it appears the harder it is to distinguish garbage data. Also a personal VPN with aguard home running. If I end up choosing a real existing email, well I'm just helping muddy the profile of someone else.

No shopping apps ever, loyalty cards in a fake name with email aliases to a central junk mailbox.

To hell with the lot of them and their business model.

They can profile the device and get hardware info depending on make and software etc but the gold is their app which sucks up everything including your phone number and what you visit on their network. I wouldn't dream of connecting without a vpn unless it was an emergency situation.

That being said data is always preferable when you have the option.

This is the way. Fuck them.

Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.

Their pricing is ridiculous.

Provides a better service and doesn't just jack up the price. Steam sales are some of the best discounts around. Embraced Linux and worked to build upon its open foundations to deliver a great handheld which is open . Great customer service in general. Obviously there will always be people pissed off but going by sales and the general vibe I think it largely favors a positive position.

I think steam is a private company so there are no shareholders to crack the whip. They seem to be good to their staff too and give back to the Linux community.

I know I used to develop for it. My point was directed at the funding . The web needs a strong alternative to chrome now more than ever. Neutering projects like servo does not help. Also most non technical people don't even know of Mozilla and anyone that does probably associates it with Firefox.

Anyway I'm downvoted for having a valid opinion. Whatever
