AFAIK a Steam Deck is a full Linux PC, so you can do anything on it that you can do on a Linux PC, including that. Whether this will be especially convenient is a different question.

happens occasionally, but not only “lately”, I have been using it for many years and it does (rarely, but occasionally) cause performance drops, yes

Idk but if you’re just looking for the repo I think this is it: https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file

Cookies don’t, but cookies are part of an IP packet which does. So yes, your scenario is possible if the website you visited first stored which IP addresses that cookie has previously been used with.

Harder here than on centralized platforms because everything you posted here has been copied to other servers which might ignore your requests to delete things.

What data?

It’s possible there’s something in the firmware or BIOS that transmits some things to Apple; I do not know for sure, but maybe someone else will show up here who knows details about this. Even if that is so, Apple gets significantly less data because anything built into macOS won’t be running.

that may in part be out of consideration to others, most others don’t want to see that… so maybe a bad example…

A long time ago I did some things with https://revealjs.com/ but not sure how viable that is.

It’s not an exam, it’s a discussion among professionals in the field.

IRC still exists. Forums are somewhat hard to host nowadays because lots of governments have passed laws imposing more and more regulation, liability and duties of care on operators of web platforms. We would need to start movements to repeal those laws first, I’m certainly in favor of that! But I think the future of forums is nonetheless ActivityPub; it is a lot better to be able to read about all topics that interest me on one website rather than having to click through many different ones.

Flash games: why do you want those back? Flash is a proprietary platform and it’s a good thing we can now do the things we used to do with it directly in the browser with HTML5 and JS. You can still play Flash games with Ruffle, there are still websites out there that host them.

Video sites that aren’t YouTube: nowadays videos can be much more easily hosted elsewhere than YouTube than was the case in the 2000s. Many social media platforms allow direct upload of videos and any website operator can easily directly embed a video without needing either YouTube or something based on Flash Player. So I’m not sure what you’re nostalgic for when it comes to this topic.

because the UK gave up most of that power in the second half of the 20th century, now the UK is a relatively small country (by area and population) that is increasingly isolating itself from the world (Brexit) rather than attempting to influence global politics a lot more than other countries of comparable size, population, and wealth

But the US is slowly losing influence too. In 1990 its side had won the Cold War, but since then other things have happened: 9/11, Iraq War, George W. Bush, the war on terror, Donald Trump; many geopolitical events of the present can be explained (in part) by the fact that the US is losing influence over the world.

ok fair point :D

read it again, I quoted a typo by OP, there’s not actually a letter “n” in the word “community”

I’m pretty sure “conmunity” does indeed not mean anything and never has.

yes it will for those who (like me) are sorting by “new comments”

True in general, but there’s no reason why voting should be one of those things.

For my country there is a price comparison website at geizhals.at which is where I usually start. They also seem to be a thing for Germany, the UK, and Poland. Maybe there are similar services for other countries too?

yes, this is how we did it, only we lived in an apartment where there were only so many possible hiding places, so it was never an enormous challenge in later years :D

QWERTZ because I’ve been living my whole life in Austria and this was always the default. Every time something is set to QWERTY (and my keyboard is still physically QWERTZ), I have no idea where most of the special characters are and have to mash the keyboard in order to find them. I know @ is shift-2 and / is to the left of the right shift key, but most of the others, uh…

Celebrities (especially politicians) younger than me existing.
