One thing is that I email and receive emails from almost no one that uses an encrypted service on their end so I have nearly zero expectations when it comes to email. Regardless, as long as it's encrypted so they have been demonstrated in court to not being able to provide the content of my emails and you can pay with some crypto, then I consider it good enough. Other thing is that regardless of what country you live in, a service outside of the country you live in. Preferably even countries that have the least if not just about no significant information sharing treaties. Maybe hostile to the country I live in is best. I have no concerns about law enforcement in other countries. My concern is the authority that I live under practically every day of the year regardless of their behavior in the present

Other types of services I have higher expectations for privacy like cloud storage and VPNs

I'd absolutely use crypto if it was more available in anything I'd want to pay for. So far it's mostly just VPNs and donations

At the size of transactions they'd be doing, it'd probably be worth it to set a high fee so that it gets picked up and processed faster. Should still be peanuts compared to the value of cargo these tankers are carrying

Friend one day added me to his family plan because they had one space open. I'm still in the habit of always going to youtube in ways I can ad-block but am always pleasantly surprised when I go in the normal youtube app and I have no ads. I'll pay for the service though

Their ko-fi has been exploding in the last couple of months. They've made a bunch of really nice quality of life improvements in the past couple releases. I'd expect it to end up matching the user friendliness of GameHub by the end of the year. Depending on where the main devs live, they may be able to dedicate a good amount of time to the project

I'm hoping by the time googles Android goes to shit, GrapheneOS is readily available on more phones or PostmarketOS. Same with Linux with KDE Plasma Bigscreen running on a minipc rather than using an android TV box

Like others, desktop I'm using Firefox with ublock origin. Android phone, Firefox with ublock origin. Android TV, SmartTube. Ad blockers have always outpaced Google in my experience though I use youtube maybe like twice a week and I don't randomly browse reccomendations. Just there for specific stuff

For the most part no. Exceptions being like if some high budget game came out built with Godot, that'd be something I'd consider as a showcase for open source game engines. Same with other lesser known ones like Bevy or O3DE. Once any becomes fairly common, the novelty for me wears off like 2D games made in Godot. It was the same for me and Blender Open Movies ~15 years ago

This is one of those things that after a few years, is going to become a heavyweight feature that every other storefront should have been working to have but for some reason haven't started yet like Steam Input or WINE/Proton/Linux integration. I imagine in the near future retro-handhelds mostly abandoning Android for Linux and basing their specs and marketing around some analytics done on Steam games and the crowd-sourced game performance data. PS4 is in its 13th year. Blink and next thing you know you'll be seeing cheap mini handhelds advertising playing vintage PS4 era video games on your bought from AliExpress PSP sized retro gaming handheld. It'll be advertised like 98% of games released before 2020 have been found to run well on hardware as powerful as this gaming device (*according to Steam user data)

A couple more years of FEX development and I'm betting we'll be close to as compatible as year one Steam Deck
