As others have said, it’s all about your threat model.

For me, I keep mic and camera off at all times until I need it. Its a slight nuisance, but I’m nearly sure that it covers all the bases.

I could go hardcore and physically disable the mic in my phone, then only use earbuds for my mic. That’s a bit much for me, and maybe my situation is a bit much for you.

I don’t know specifically, but you can look at blocking Steam’s telemetry.

I think you’re looking for an IR blocking solution like this: https://github.com/nickbild/freedom_shield

use Netiquette

Wow, I haven’t heard that in long time.

This is my understanding as well. History of the platform skews it left.

But I also don’t think in terms of left and right (though its hard to get away from the terms so widely used). For instance, most people tend to describe the difference in terms of money and profit (capitalism). I look at control and freedom. I don’t want governments controlling what we see, hear, and say. I want us all to control our own lives. Lemmy/Fedi is completely supportive of that concept.

Also Snowden calls Signal the best messenger on the grounds on him using it daily and still being alive so that’s also a pretty good sign.

The real litmus test right here.

I’m an old fart that grew up on these games too. They were what I lived for. Kings Quest 1 blew me away. Then 2 had me hooked. 3 was another level and felt so big.

I collected their catalogs and dreamed f what would come next. There was a box art for KQ4 they showed in the catalog that didn’t make it to the actual box. It was amazing and I wished I had that.

I also played Space, Police, and Heros Quest, but Kings Quest was my jam.

They are very much in sync. Even though each game and story is independent, characters have history and the games are part of that.

Enjoy! It’s a great series

That’s fair. I just figured when they introduced the characters and world building and I didn’t find most of it interesting, then the following would be similar.

If the best description of something can only be broken down to “reddit liked it” then either the person doesn’t know how to describe anything, or that’s an accurate description in itself.

I watched the first episode and found it not interesting. Certain things were good and others bad, but I just didn’t care and was waiting for it to end.

Apparently I’m in the minority as fans seem to flock to defend it. To each their own.
