As someone who didn’t even get to land a first job at programming yet, any advice? lol

Not just that, sometimes they are also data stealers and virus makers!

Will consider that too lol

I will consider that lol

Ohhhh thank you

I’m more a novice that hasn’t programmed in a while. Did a 2 year course above higschool but below uni, and worked as intern for two months, but apart from that haven’t really programmed as I don’t know what to do if not given a goal.

You know, this shit makes me wanna learn Rust, it has been long since I really programmed anything.

(Lack of any idea to program more than anything tbh)

What?

Honestly, when I wrote it I was thinking “Sony doesn’t have to compete against relatively easy piracy like Steam and GOG do”. I don’t even remember what my actual point was, but I think it was precisely against Sony as in “there is no easy alternative if Sony goes rogue, your PS OS belongs to them, so they have not such incentive to make things good, therefore the risk is higher” or something like that lol.

Aren’t they usually “pirate and you will you lose any right to ask for help with your console, anywhere, ever again”?

Well, consoles are a pretty closed enviroment. There is no piracy as there is on PC, if still some.

No, I know GOG provides plenty of DRM-free games, what I meant is, I remember something about Steam having a system to make games DRM-free in case they went under or something. Maybe it was something different or even misinformation, though.

Didn’t they have a system that makes all games DRM free if something like that happenned or somwthing like that?

Also depends on your definition of privacy. Some people confuse privacy (not seeing what you do) with anonimity (not knowing who you are).

Public blockchains (like BTC) have zero privacy, as everyone sees the transactions and balances, meanwhile private ones (like XMR) supposedly avoid anyone but two people in a transaction to know that transaction happened, or even to know each other’s balance.

In both cases, I would say you are as anonymous as your way to turn the coin from/into fiat is (P2P, KYC or non-KYC platforms, etc.).

Like with AI, I like crypto as a concept, but the practice… (specially the resources both consume for what little benefit they end up having)

Nah, infighting always works best.

If you are gonna deliberately disregard OP’s specific request just to give your own answer, you’d better save time saying nothing.

“You are wrong little guy”

Imagine asking for apples and someone telling you that you are wronf and giving pears saying they are better…

Shit, there goes another alternative to my VISA card T-T

Too late to fix the shitass OS, I’m already on Linux Mint lol

I still find it kinda funny that it’s called “cp”

And while at that, I recomend regular Mint (which is based on Ubuntu).

There is Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), but I have found it harder to use (while I can manage, I’m not that experienced with Linux to bother to troubleshoot and solve it [at least at the time], but I think it was dependency, incompatibility, or driver issues).

Plus, the main Mint version is still the Ubuntu based one, LMDE is kinda a side project and usually isn’t as up-to-date, as far as I know.
