You ever see that TV show person of interest? This is how that starts.

Just gonna throw in a recommendation for Nobara as a distro. Based on Fedora, maintained by Glorious egroll who makes great versions of proton. Distro is tuned for gaming but is great for regular use too. Used it for over a year and set my GF up with it as her first Linux desktop.

“It’s not personal, but several spineless ass lickers want to impress a 4 time indicted, civilly liable rapist wannabe dictator, so we are holding the fate of your people to ransom”.

Of course this is possible. Is it practical? Nope. There is already so much data harvested by the likes you Google and Facebook that they can tell what you like, what videos or articles you read, what you share, in some cases who you talk to. Importing a shit ton of audio data is pointless, they already know what you like.

I still think Starlink can be a great service for rural areas, but it seems they need to improve their capabilities first. Which in a way makes a chicken-egg scenario. If they expand servers to handle all those people, they should be eligible for a grant, but they don’t wanna do it until they get the grant.

I prefer it TBH. things are easier to reach and suit a phone better than what was essentially the desktop app squeezed onto a phone.

Is something like Heroic launcher required now to play the Epic version of Rocket League? I have it on Steam and get 144FPS at 1440p, mixed settings between performance and quality.

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

Imagine thinking Jon Stewart of all people wouldn’t talk about certain political situations. Apple TV + looks like it won’t last long if all their content is pandering to Winnie.

It’s more that you talk like nobody else is against genocide. Nobody here wants genocide. Your “solution” is just a nothing burger. The reality is every government is pretty fucked up, some more than others. There’s no way to change the whole world order, so you try make it as less shit for as many people as possible, not just throw your hands up and say “I’m done with voting”.

Go back to Reddit if you want pats on the back for not voting or voting for someone that wants to strip human rights.

I have never heard anyone say “Grandpa Google”. I have heard more people say “Bing it” than someone that didn’t use “Google” to mean search.

Gonna try this. Know anything similar for mobile (iOS) or Apple TV?

This seems kinda scummy. If someone breaks TOS then ban the one account. I’ve seen for years now people bringing up jellyfin, knew it was coming when I saw this headline. I never tried it because I have iOS devices and an Apple TV, but now I see there are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on iOS/tvos. I may try it out, move if it satisfies my needs.

Putting in my recommendation for Signal, use it to message, call and video call between android and iOS.

Been using proton for torrenting and other use, it’s been great. Connect to Switzerland from USA with good speed and security. I use them for email so I got a good package deal.

Reminds me of the welcome video for Mac OS X Snow leopard

I don’t have real answers, but my theory is the servers busy, sometimes things mess up and you have to try again.

Disclaimer: pretty new to Lemmy a federation (older than this account though).

From what I gather, defederation is supposed to be a function of this whole system, but intended to cut off whole instances that refuse to moderate or are active cesspools. In saying that, I don’t understand Beehaw cutting off two of the other biggest instances. I know they have a weird mentality over there of no downvotes and saw some odd conversations condemning someone’s political views while admitting to not know the person at all (dafuq?).

It seems to me it would make more sense to block a single community rather than the whole instance.

Maybe they want a walled garden, but as new people come in and want as much content as possible to show that this is a better venue than Reddit, to me they give off the wrong message.

Am I mistaken somehow? Anyone able to enlighten me?

The only thing that had me back on Reddit was searching for something on DDG and getting 99% Reddit results. I see why they are un-deleting people’s comments and posts when they close their accounts. Hopefully other forums take those spots.
