  • In addition to everythong everyone has said, one major thing that people often don’t think about privacy is how it relates to enshittification.

    Modern software services try to optimize everything to make as much money as possible. Everything is a/b tested, and whatever increases some arbitrary metric is what gets released.

    They do this by tracking a ton of metrics about how you interact with everything. I know where I work we collect data about every time you click on anything, how long you hover over buttons, etc.













  • I assume you’re talking about Diablo 4 (please actually type out the game, it makes it easier for people to help and makes it easier for people with issues to find solutions)

    Is there a crash log?

    Looking at https://www.protondb.com/app/2344520, there’s a couple things suggested:

    Using proton ge instead of normal proton

    Install via lutris instead of steam.

    Use PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command% as the launch options. This tricks the game into thinking you have an amd gpu and disables nvdia specific optimizations that could maybe cause issues.

    %command% -adapter 1 might switch to the gpu if you’re on a laptop with integrated and dedicated graphics.

    Oh yeah, definitely but those tend to be different attacks than would target random consumer computers.

    Being open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege, package management vs just installing random exes, different distros using different packaging systems.
