Is the app store in question against distributing proprietary apps, or it just merely happens to distribute mostly FOSS apps?

A good example of this is Sober on FlatHub, a Roblox-compatible client for Linux that is closed-source.

At least with the GOG preservation program there’s an incentive to keep the game working over time, and another reason to donate to it when buying.

Personally I like Passkeys, and I enroll them in both my KeePassXC vault and on my two hardware keys (a primary Yubikey which I carry with me and a spare one at home).

It doesn’t absolve one from neglecting proper security best practices (don’t login on a system you don’t trust, logout / clear cookies when done, etc), but a Passkey on a hardware key is much more difficult to phish or extract if you’re using someone else’s computer.

Until they only allow specific AAGUIDs to enroll passkeys that don’t include the one used by KeePassXC (fdb141b2-5d84-443e-8a35-4698c205a502) or KeePassDX (eaecdef2-1c31-5634-8639-f1cbd9c00a08) because they don’t consider them secure enough.

It’s not that it’s the worst, it’s just that they turn it on to 11.

Anti-tampering can also be part of the anti-cheat security posture.

You’d have a better experience with using LUKS encryption on your live bootable environment.

I guess that could be done through the TPM 2.0 Endorsement Key (EK), which I believe is stored in the CPU fTPM (and not the motherboard) when dealing with AMD

And Matrix isn’t the only option out there

I guess you could use a desktop and a virtual webcam if you switch the user-agent.

Yeah that part is bullshit…

Tell them it your own custom domain in Google Workspace.

Me near the sun:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t see really anything of concerns that stands out

I wouldn’t mind if they also mirrored their videos on Nebula.

Targeted ads are once again not just a nuisance, but a security risk.

You get access to the largest game distribution platform in the world, but you end up being a single game in a sea of competitors. You gotta distinguish yourself from the lot, on top of being lucky that your stars are aligned.

They will do all they can get away with to make them only playable on a Windows machine.

The software itself won’t, as the “portable” binaries are made for Windows. The vault file itself can be opened without a problem if you use the KeePassXC binaries for the OS you’re using.

It’s mostly incoherent. Something that clearly break the rules will often stay up.
