Signal is private, what you should differentiate is being anonymous or not. Using your usual phone number is NOT Anonymous but is PRIVATE, as in the content of your messages being only available to you and the person you're talking to
The way you get a phone number depends on you too, so you can be very much be Anonymous even if signal requires a phone number.
If for some reason you want to record a call, make sure to check what the laws around that are in your country, in mine for example you have to tell the other person you're recording, but I believe you don't have to if you're talking to a company you are paying for some service for example
Fascist don't invade spaces, more so, the thing I'm seeing commonly are angry people calling normal people "fascists", so then can kick them out of projects or groups because "screw them, they're fascists! so we fuck them over until they are no longer involved or present!, because we are good and they are bad"
Again, fuck TRUE fascists, but I'm still waiting for arguments on what makes NixOS a Fascist Project
What that user pointed out is, that it has "ties to a fascist company". But in my opinion;
A government can have ties to a communist leader or organization, and still not be a communist government.
A project can have ties to an anarchist and that still won't make the project be anarchist.
But if a project has ties to a fascist company the project itself turns fascist?
Pd. I asked for more info because if ties to a company make you fascist, at least the user who commented that should have very good arguments to dictate if NixOS is fascist based on what they know.
That's like saying, "A community in lemmy has lots of users that come from X anarchist instance, so that Community must now be anarchist!"
Is it LCD or OLED? I've heard a couple of times people keep the steam deck screen off while docked to prevent burn-in on OLEDs, but idk if that is a real concern with the steamdeck?
Wow the raspberry thing is cool, and after seeing a streamer get scammed 30k worth of crypto for downloading a steam game, separating gaming from banking and such seems smart
I wanted a gaming device to play anywhere; at home, car, etc. Laptop was too big and I would have to bring a controller with me to play the way I like.
The steam deck was the better option in that case, and I just feel in "love" with it. I like that I can be gaming, want to watch a movie, I have another dock on the living room, so I just bring it over and in 30 seconds I'm on the couch watching whatever, or I can go back to gaming on the go. Also I enjoy being in the bed as I can't stand being on a chair for more than 3hours or so.
Steam deck is less bulky, the ecosystem is better, the community is better, and has linux by default, good repairability and compatibility with extra pieces in the market. It fitted my interests.
I agree, a laptop can do what I described, but you would also have to consider the ergonomics of playing daily with a keyboard, mouse and dedicated monitor vs the laptop keyboard and monitor + extra mouse, are way different. So if I want this desktop experience, for both laptop and steam deck I would need all peripherals, and for all other user cases steam deck seems like the better option.
As a all in one device, laptop is the best option always (besides gaming on the go like car or similar), but I was mainly talking about gaming on the go + home setup with it, I think the steam deck is the best all rounder at a good price, but sure, laptops are great too, if you're lucky with all specs, durability, battery life, seller support, etc, at this price point, anyway, different things, both great :)
