FYI: Waze is an Israeli service that was also bought by Google long ago.

7·2 months agoIndeed your Steam account is not transferable so when you die your games die with you.
The reason Steam gets away with it (for now) though is they’re unusually chill about everything. Give someone your account? They don’t care. Pirate their games? Don’t care. Make a Steam app mod that literally automated the piracy process and uses Steam’s own servers to get the game files? Cool. Pirates are also using Steam’s servers to play pirated games online (through spacewars, easily detectable)? More power to you. And in the midst of all this they introduce the family feature where people can share their games with others in the family.But I am no Steam shill and the license has the final say. So always BUY your games (
from marketplaces like GOG) when possible.

I tried linking my institution’s outlook to kmail. Multiple times. Never worked. Betterbird took the email and immediately autogenerated a working configuration.


Flatpak is missing even rudimentary sandbox features. Apps that don’t have an easy sandbox escape are rare. And this is all useless when it’s the app developer who decides the app permissions because most users won’t tinker with every Flatpak they install.
Flatpaks are NOT any more secure than system packages, and their “sandboxing” should not be trusted to accomplish anything.
