Honestly there isn’t really a difference between it being a digital license and a subscription. The service for both can go down and there would be no way to play them officially. There is Emulation but the average person wouldn’t really seek it out. It would mainly be the enthusiast that seeks out emulation.

The sub is bundled with the online play servers and you get a few extra perks for it. Nintendo is a business and server maintenance and costs aren’t free, now if they made it to where you need to pay a separate sub for the classic games then I would be upset and agree with you.

That is the benefits of having physical media, which is why I fully support physical releases. I don’t like game key cards for the same reasons why I don’t like digital. But if they bring classic games back with a subscription, it’s still a net benefit for those who use NSO since most game libraries are available.

Honestly it’s difficult to find these old consoles and games. A sub for them wouldn’t be too bad since most people don’t really play them that much. It’s more for the normies that don’t know much about Emulation honestly.

Plus the sub is reasonably priced compared to the prices of Pay-station and MicroSlops Xbox core. I introduced some folks into the world of Emulation due to the sub funnily enough.

I honestly don’t try to use the internet as much anymore for entertainment. I use Lemmy for news though since links are available often. I play games on my Switch or card games with others for entertainment.

I didn’t notice any loss on my internet. (Idk if it’s carrier specific) I am trying to build a mesh network for communications if the mobile networks go down. I.E meshtastic, meshcore, bitchat. So that’s honestly my plan, I download all my music for things like these.

I do wish you luck on getting your drivers license, I appreciate mine. I also do recommend looking into E-Bikes for the time being if you’re able to get one and ride it in your area.

Yep Cancun Cruz loves to act like foreskin and disappears when things get hard.

Well I’m glad you were able to get some good swaps. I’m not a scammer haha, I’m just trying to build new P2P relationships in the Monero space. I appreciate you replying to me, I will check out the exchange you recommended.

Honestly I love this idea and I might make one similar with other cryptocurrencies. That’s sweet of you for doing this for your kiddo.

Hey if you’re still needing some XMR, I can see if I can sell you some for some Litecoin. I want to build my Litecoin position, but I don’t have the mining equipment for it yet. Also Retoswap, and Bisq, and Eigenwallet are really good options. (Eigen wallet doesn’t support Litecoin sadly)

Howdy! If you still need help with anything.  Monero, I can try my best to help. I’ve been in the space for a while, so I know a few things. But I do not know everything ha. ha, so lmk if you still need any help.

If you are Bitcoin only I recommend building a SeedSigner from scratch and using Nunchuk as the interface for the wallet. They’re both open source and have been thoroughly vetted. Don’t keep your entire stack on Tails on a Hot wallet as there could be a point to where you can accidentally catch something on said instance of Tails and have your funds taken. (Highly improbable, but the risk is still there)

As for the Ledger recover stuff, I personally have vetted it and checked a couple of things to see if it’s truly something to worry about. So from how it works is that it creates shards that require approval from your hardware wallet that only is in effect if you build said sharding and export. Then it will send your shards through E2EE methods to said partners of which they can’t reconstruct your key without needing the core to unlock your wallet. Of which you must approve through ledger recover on either their app or custodial service. They cannot remotely break your keys into shards without permission since it requires the secure element to activate and have your manually approve it for it go through. With all that said it is wise to use multiple hardware wallet vendors to minimize risk when you’re storing your keys. You could always go for air gapped solutions if you want to use hardware wallets without the keys being stored on them.

Thank you so much! I’ll be playing on the Switch so wish me luck on my journey. I’ll keep all your advice in mind friend!

I’m wanting to play Outward, any tips for a survival newbie?

That is understandable, talking to the operators and getting spec info from them is a way to verify. I know it’s tedious, but it’s worth it.

Ahh well you could always join someone else’s server and communicate through them honestly.

What was the company’s name? I would like to dig deeper into Threema so I can communicate with folks that use it about these changes.

XMPP is a good alternative and a good client to use would be monocles. Let me see if I can find my link archive to XMPP info and I’ll share it with you.

Yeah, it’s hard to believe companies now. That’s why I’m building a XMPP server/service to help people move off of centralized services.

Yeah, I say run GrapheneOS for the best security on android on a pixel. The next best if you want an older device is to run DeGoogled LineageOS, I use a Pixel 4a 5G and it runs superb and it’s easier to repair. It also doesn’t have the extra BS most phones have now these days. Although I do use a few more apps, defaults should suffice. (Except for messaging use Molly a android fork of Signal or XMPP)

Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind and I’ll learn more to teach others about it!

I definitely will look into FieFed, do you have any resources you can point me to? I want to learn as much as I can to help teach people about the Fediverse and help build a wider web of folks going on and sharing.

It wasn’t due to only one instance, but more so the way federation works. They got tired of seeing a few political posts when trying to explore what the federated feed has and I ended up doing some work to help them curate a personal feed and set up for things they enjoy the most.

I’ve helped them curate what they want to see. But since there are so many copies of communities that have varying levels of activity that’s what also put them off of using it as a core platform.
