Many distros ship flatpak app store with default filter set to Verified Publisher only.

Also, if your distro doesn't do this, you can do it yourself. You can modify, for instance, KDE Discover's flathub repo to use the verified subset.

Cool, thanks for confirming! Definitely an inspiring (and well-made) documentary.

I don't know if you're referring to this short documentary (12 minutes), but if anyone hasn't seen it, it's a worthwhile watch: The Miracle of Pakistani Tekken

They used a different data source for this one and mentioned why they preferred this one over the one from the day before.

The 5% story was published yesterday. This new article from today says that they trust the government site figures more than StatCounter which was cited on yesterday's story.

Made by the Blender Studio!

I don't have first-hand knowledge of this, but I've heard many people say that the issue with multiplayer games is specifically the ones that use kernel anti-cheat, and even more specifically the ones who haven't enable the anti-cheat feature to work for Linux. So this will generally mean popular, competitive AAA multiplayer titles. Your average indie multiplayer game should not have this issue.

Which is relevant, because it means zombo.com was launched near the peak of the dot com bubble (burst in 2000). Makes complete sense.

I'm inclined to think that your IP provides powerful cross-reference potential. Imagine someone either buys the data off of all data brokers out there or a law enforcement agency obtains similar kind of data through warrants, etc. They can cross-reference IPs and time-stamps and determine, that you, Joe Blow, age 35, who works at X, volunteers at Y, and lives at 123 main street, browse for some kind of very embarrassing porn every night. It's a drastic example to illustrate the idea, but I don't think it's far-fetched.

This could be taken further by imagining a wider net: say, a large portion of people who have donated to this political candidate or who work for this company browse for that same embarrassing porn every night.

I'm thinking birds-eye view of potential privacy violations here.

This seems like the wisest option for the long term. I just recently decided that any games that are available on both and don't make use of Steam-exclusive features I will buy from GOG instead. Up until that point I had been buying games on Steam by default when they had sales, but GOG has equivalent sales at the same time. Unless the game takes advantage of some Steam-exclusive feature, there seems to be no good reason to buy it from Steam instead of from GOG.

Cool to see a Linux smartphone, but holy moly, what a terrible name!

• Completely flat chiclet keyboards on laptops. It drives me absolutely insane because I can barely tell if my fingers are aligned with the keys. Thanks, Apple!
• Hidden controls on desktop software or desktop websites (ex: hidden exit, forward, and back controls on picture galleries)
• Hiding or collapsing scrollbars on desktop software

In general, it seems like there's a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?
