Love ya, Steve.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're suggesting. Are you saying encryption keys should themselves be encrypted?

FYI this story isn't about plaintext passwords, it's about plaintext encryption keys to chat history.

I kind of agree that this may be a little overblown. Exploiting this requires device and filesystem access so if you can get the keys you can already get a lot more stuff.

The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he's so full of himself. Conan's was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it's Conan

After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there

They've admitted they have a problem with getting new players so everything they do needs to somehow draw in new players. Getting their current playerbase to create and buy/sell isn't enough of a reason to create such tools especially if they don't think they can match the experience of the other platforms, hence the technological competition. They need to be able to provide excellent tools and an excellent way to host and share creations to draw in creatives who could become new players.

There's little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You'd be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can't compete, then it's not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.

Users who don't want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they're available to avoid the long build times.

Are you sure? This sounds like the exact opposite

I like the new EVA, but I don't like the idea of completely dropping the old. As the main movement pose it just doesn't make sense ergonomically, needing your face turned basically 90deg from its natural position. It also makes you look like you're moving through any regular old fluid instead of space. I would hope they add a toggle using something like the prone key

The desktop app should have maximum encoding compatibility so you direct play. It's not guaranteed with browsers e.g. I believe Firefox doesn't and will never support HEVC.

My gripe with the desktop app is lack of ability to easily refresh like with a browser. The UI bugs out sometimes and I end up having to close and reopen the app.
