Nie do końca, ale ma plus że jest zdecentralizowany, więc los całego protokołu nie zależy od jednej organizacji. Signal jest zajebisty pod względem prywatności, ale jak i inne organizacje, potrzebuje skądś brać hajs na utrzymywanie serwerów i takiego typu rzeczy. Prędzej czy później zacznie to wpływać na jakość usług dostarczanych przez Signal. Są już przesłanki: signal.org/blog/signal-is-expensive/
Nie korzystam za dużo, ale z tego co wiem Matrix trochę bardziej jest rozbudowany w stronę otwartych grup. Ma pojęcie przestrzeni (“Spaces”) gdzie można tworzyć różne kanały. Byłoby to spoko opcją dla róźnych działań gdzie jest dużo wątków (np. kolektyw zajmujący się obroną lasów może mieć jeden kanał dla planowania blokad, drugi dla postępowań prawnych, trzeci dla tworzenia materiali na social media itd.) tak że każda osoba dodana do przestrzeni (mogą być prywatne) będzie miała dostęp do wszystkich kanałów od razu.
tak i tak :)
Są jeszcze inne alternatywy:
Jest protokół XMPP który też jest dosyć rozbudowany, ale mniej przyjazny do osób nietechnicznych. xmpp.org/getting-started/
Również zdecentralizowaną alternatywą jest Delta Chat; dosyć prosty w użyciu, jest to program oparty na protokolu SMTP, czyli jak zwykły email. delta.chat/en/
Ahh… Pearl. Home of every kind of future landfill fodder disguised as tech (and even some legitimate products), dubious feature lists and even more dubious included bonuses for almost 30 years. At least the cover girls aren’t dressed like discount Playmates anymore.
I like how on this page they aren’t specifying the “car racing game” and “full version of well known flight simulator” packed in with the “Multi-Gamestation^Plus”. I think I can hear the creaking of this thing’s cheap, hard plastic through space and time. It seems like the VR headset and 3D glasses weren’t shipping enough units, given that this is at least the second time they discounted them:
how tf there only 2 comments in this thread? Y’all this is SILENT HILL TWO and it’s scoring WELL I guess my reason is horror games aren’t really my cup of tea. but this is a BIG DEAL!
Edit: here’s a key passage from the Eurogamer review that is hype:
The original game was both combat-light and a little short, and Bloober has addressed both these issues head-on. For the latter, the remake has opened up a slew of new landmarks for us to explore, so I devoted a lot of time picking through the streets of Silent Hill, revelling in the new-found freedom of being able to visit shops and buildings that had hitherto been out of bounds for us. This, coupled with longer levels and more places to visit, more than doubles the original eight-ish hour run-time.
As for combat? Well, be careful what you wish for, I guess. Silent Hill 2 was outrageously easy, even on its hardest difficulty, and Bloober’s edition is not. The good news is Remake doesn’t exactly make combat central to the experience (at least, not on standard difficulty). But it sure does make it harder to adopt the typical survival horror strat of run-away-run-away-run-away. Because of its claustrophobic tight spaces and nooks and crannies, it’s incredibly difficult to retreat from a fight, and there is essentially no meaningful way to stealth around the place, either. On top of that, most boss battles - they are all here, as well as a surprise or two - will deplete your ammo reserves with ruthless efficiency. It’s also often tough to finish off foes without taking damage yourself as a result, burning through your ever-dwindling medical supplies. (Yes, Lying Figures spewing toxic vomit in your death throes - I’m looking at you.)
They took a legendary game and made it better. Props to Bloober team, guess they still got it.
Das war knapp ein Jahr bevor ich mich ernsthaft angefangen habe, mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen, aber um dir ein paar Anhaltspunkte zu geben: 10 DM im Jahre 1997 entsprechen 8,39 € heute. Die Preise für die Joysticks, Gamepads und Lenkräder entsprechen grob den Preisen, an die ich mich erinnere (wobei ich selbst als Kind nie ein Gamepad für 15 DM gekauft hätte - das konnte nichts taugen). Gerade Lenkräder waren trotz niedriger Qualität (Force-Feedback war selten und die Verarbeitungsqualität dürftig) generell sehr teuer zu der Zeit. Die Spiele sind fast alle zwei Jahre alt (Pearl war und ist eine Resterampe) und entsprechend etwas reduziert im Vergleich zum Neupreis. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, fing die Software-Pyramide erst im Jahr darauf an, den Preis von älteren PC-Spielen deutlich nach unten zu treiben, entsprechend können das durchaus normale Preise sein.
Das VR-Headset war zu dem Zeitpunkt ebenfalls zwei Jahre auf dem Markt, ziemlich lausig (263x230 pro Auge waren selbst 1995 nicht der Brüller), die Firma dahinter bankrott und das Gerät entsprechend stark reduziert, aber immer noch kostspielig. Es gab freilich keine Alternative für Heimnutzer. Ich konnte keine Preise von anderen Händlern aus dem Jahr finden, entsprechend kann ich dir nicht sagen, ob das ein gutes Angebot war. Der Rabatt ist aber echt.
Außerdem war anders als heute die teure Hardware sehr schnell veraltet: Der schnellste Prozessor im Jahre 1997 lief mit 500MHz, aber nur zwei Jahre später wurde die Gigahertz-Grenze durchbrochen - und Software, gerade Spiele, neigte viel eher als heute dazu, relativ neue Hardware vorauszusetzen. Schönes Beispiel: Dieser High-end PC von 1997 für 6666 DM hat einen 500 MHz Prozessor, 64 MB RAM und eine 4 GB Festplatte. Wir haben 2001 unseren ersten PC gekauft, für ca. 1800 DM: 1,3 GHz, 128 MB RAM, eine richtige (wenn auch lausige) Grafikkarte in Form einer Geforce 2MX und 10x so viel Festplattenspeicher.
Was ich damit sagen will: OK-Preise für Technik im Jahre 1997 waren immer noch viel Moos.
Ciekawa apka. Oczywiście zależy od tego co rozumiesz przez szyfrowane i bezpieczne, ale generalnie raczej nie. Używają tylko SSL do szyfrowania transmisji więc nie podsłucha tego dowolna osoba w tej samej sieci, ale jakaś 3literówka już potencjalnie da radę. Soft nie jest open source, więc trzeba wierzyć, że mówią prawdę o tym co robi. Mają jakieś opcje AI więc co najmniej wtedy kiedy z nich się korzysta dane idą do udostępniających te usługi firm.
Inaczej mówiąc; jak bym potrzebował na firmowe wydarzenie, to pewnie bym używał, na aktywistyczne trzeba by się zastanowić jaki jest model bezpieczeństwa. To powiedziawszy i tak zakładam, że większa część spotkań aktywistycznych jest zinfiltrowana i łatwiej uzyskać im dźwięk z mikrofonu na swojej wtyce niż od dostawcy jakiejś niszowej aplikacji.
the point of goat simulator was that it was a three-week goof project the Sanctum devs had fun with to celebrate good sales before they got to work on the sequel.
Valheim and Satisfactory are masterclass. GOAT simulator is good for 6 year olds. Raft was kind of dull be entertaining with multiplayer. V Rising I didn’t really care for, but haven’t played since it was first available on Steam
While I disagree with how long they’re been in early access especially when other games are in early access and doing it better… The updates were still pretty impressive. The new biomes were pretty interesting.
They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
I bought it the very day it came out for no real reason and fell in love with it. Put about 500 hours in it before any updates happened. Played a little since then but those higher tier biomes are pretty brutal. Gonna wait until it’s 1.0 before jumping in again. Best $20 ever
Palworld is a lot of fun. Much different than a lot of survivals since I was never into Pokémon. Enshrouded I played on release for a little bit. Gonna sound weird but I the building turned me off a bit and the combat i felt a little awkward. I know a lot of people love it so it’s like a me thing.
Icarus is really cool. I refunded it initially because I felt it was janky but they have released an update every single week since launch. Picked it up again at the start of summer and I have like 300+ hours in it. It’s so good.
I was really bad. So bad that I only played archery and even got archery class over level 30. My brother always tops the leaderboards and he came over one day and showed me how to play. Basically, make sure you’re in third person and we use either the battle axe or executioners axe. I’m now regularly at the top of the boards.
If you ever want to join up with us let me know. We do the 40 man mixed
It’s been a while but I remember I was annoyed with something to do with having to find blood. I know that’s really stupid considering it’s a vampire game. Also the top down view i have a hard time with these days since I played so much Diablo 1+2 back in the day
I actually looked into this, part of the explanation is that in the 80s, Sweden entered a public/private partnership to subsidize the purchase of home computers, which otherwise would have been prohibitively expensive. This helped create a relatively wide local consumer base for software entertainment as well as have a jump start on computer literacy and software development.
This is the real explanation. Couple that with a push in the late 90s/early 2000s to roll out high-speed unmetered internet in the form of ADSL and later fiber.
Finland also has a disproportionate amount of highly successful games compared to the population. I guess one theory is that good social safety nets make it more feasible for people to take a risk starting an indie game studio that might not yield any money for years instead of working for a big corporation for a guaranteed paycheck.
Quebec also has a disproportionate amount of successful games for similar circumstances. Video game salaries are pretty well subsidized (although it was originally only meant to encourage Ubisoft to open a studio then other companies joined or got created so they kept it). The current government is threatening that though. That’s on top of socialized healthcare, low electricity cost, and the Canadian Media Fund but those all apply to the rest of Canada as well.
Quick list on top of my head: Indies: Outlast, Dead by Daylight, The Messenger, Spiritfarer, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Fez… AAA: Deus Ex, R6 Siege, For Honor, some of the better Assassin’s Creed and Farcry, Batman Arkham Origins
My first ever international business trip (in the late 90s) was to Skovde, and that was for software development reasons. So the town has a long history for it.
It doesn’t change anything, though. TF2 isn’t nearly as bad as Overwatch 2 or Halo Infinite. Idk, all Valve’s free games have MTX (microtransactions), but they’re not like… annoying, infuriating, etc.
It’s still early access… Valve literally invented the hats economy, you’re insane if you think they aren’t going to add microtransactions to the game 🙄
Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?
Yeah, it’s still invite-only afaik, but there’s no limit on the number of people you can invite, so I found someone in a public discord server who accepted all friend requests and sent out bulk invites. (For anyone else still looking.) I’ll send you a PM with my friend code and get you an invite.
I’m struggling to enjoy it. Some matches can be enjoyable but more often than not I find it a dull slog.
Theres nothing more boring than being stuck in a game for another 20 minutes when it’s well and truly clear you’ve been getting your arses kicked the previous 20.

To be fair, you don’t have to do anything. You can hang back if you think the match is a loss or just farm lane and let them win once you think it’s over. This is also how League and Dota seem to work outside competitive, people will just give up if they smell a loss coming.
Dota does too but its fairly hidden and requires unanimous agreement. That said, Dota is far less snowbally, so unlike League or Deadlock, it rarely makes sense to forfet very early.
Dota only does in private matches, not matchmaking games.
I would also say it’s easier to snowball in Dota than Deadlock. You can take way wider and more restrictive control of the map since it’s smaller and everyone is less mobile.
