It’s just a domain name, it has nothing to do with sites being safe. Just as any other site, they may be malicious, may be not, depends on who runs the site.

Well, it’s easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.

Arch with extra steps, AKA CachyOS.

I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.

paru -Syu, you don’t want to forget your AUR packages, right?

Pay with Monero, set up a VPN, buy a phone specifically for the service. I doubt you can get any more anonymous than that. Cellular networks are by default monitored by governments, there is nothing a provider can do about it. But encrypting the traffic and getting a new phone should make that type of monitoring relatively useless. And if you never give your identity to the provider, they simply can’t know who you are.

Why not use a proper downloader for that sort of stuff like yt-dlp? You can get it running on Android via Termux.

You misspelled “StarCraft 1” so bad.

Maybe because it alters your maximized resolution, which makes you easier to identify? But that sounds like a bit of a stretch to me.

While Apple’s products indeed are a bit less than compatible with privacy, it does not mean the owner of such products can’t care about it. Maybe they just recenty got into it, or have to use their products for some Apple-only feature that is essential for them.

You can play HotS without Battle.net, you’ll just have to input your credentials manually whenever you start the game. Alternatively, contrary to Steam, you can just kill Battle.net after it has updated and launched the game.

I’ve used VLC for an incredibly long time, until I found about mpv about two weeks ago. It’s both a lot lighter and packs a lot more utility. I can finally frame step backwards and see millisecond timestamps! The only downside is that you have to do a bit of tinkering with all the configs and plugins, but it’s so worth it.

Not to invalidate the point made, but…

While Japanese indeed uses question marks, you can get screwed if you think that every sentence without a question mark at the end is not a question. For example, this is a grammatically correct question:

rand() generates a number from 0 to a constant defined in stdlib, which usually corresponds to the architechture of your compiler. So, for 32 bit systems (assuming all the software in the line is 32 bit, too) it will be 2^31-1 = 2 147 483 647, as 1 bit in integers is reserved for negative numbers and 1 number is 0.

Though, by design it is guaranteed to be at least 32767, which is a value for 16 bit integers.

Apple products are usually easy to use and hellishly restrictive, preventing the dum-dum user from breaking it. Phones that run under Android allow for much more customization and utility, to the point you can “soft lock” your OS.

Apple is less functional, easy to use, hard to break (software-wise, at least). Android is more functional, though requires skills to get to the functionality and not break anything.

Meaning those with the skills use Android. Thus, skill issue.

Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.

Skill issue.

If by “regular” you mean Keepass 2.0, then there is a plugin for TOTP.
