The fediverse is not dying out, don’t be dramatic.

Hubi ,

You also have to realize that in more than a decade, there was never a reddit alternative that has EVER hit this level of activity.

That is a very important point that doesn’t get mentioned enough. Lemmy is the largest and most active reddit alternative around. All the other sites that tried to capitalize on the API disaster have laughable numbers of users and most posts rarely have more than 10 votes or interactions.

Hubi ,

There go my hopes and dreams of the whole situation ending up being a good thing for open source and the competition in the AI space.

Hubi ,

I mostly use the desktop interface, so I’ll see if there are any reports in the upper right corner.

Hubi ,

I also just finished Alan Wake 2. The first game is in my top 3 favorite games of all time, so I was super excited for the sequel. The overall presentation is definitely A++ and so are the graphics. However, there were a couple of really obvious and annoying bugs that should never have made it past QA.

While I really liked the new characters, the overall storyline has become (even by Remedy standards) extremely convoluted and the ending wasn’t very satisfying. I also found the constant references to Finland a bit too much on the nose and they kinda took me out of the game a couple of times.

Of course the game makes it up in other aspects, such as the new gameplay that was clearly inspired by Resident Evil, which I also really like. Alan’s mind place was also fun and I found the ability change the scenes by rewriting them very creative. Saga’s mind place started out great as well, but it started to feel like a chore as the game went on.

Despite the nit-picking, it is pretty good game overall and I’m excited for their future projects in this universe.

Help request: Updates wrecked performance

Need a bit of help here. I recently updated the nvidia drivers on my machine from 535.113 to 535.129 and my performance tanked. I can’t run anything except for peglin at 14fps. I’ve tried a clean install of nvidia drivers but that doesn’t seem to help. I’m well versed in Unix, but not really with gaming on Linux. No...

Hubi ,

Have you tried downgrading your drivers to the previous version?

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

Hubi ,

Nah, I watch a lot of videos about cars and most sponsors are legitimate businesses and some that I’ve bought from before.

VPNs and apps on the other hand…

Hubi ,

I didn’t even know it existed tbh

Hubi ,

I can believe it. Kinda reminds me of the time someone broke into my buddy’s VW Golf by actually picking the lock on the trunk, climbing over (and breaking) the rear shelf and stealing some (but not all) chocolate candies he had in his center console. He even ate the candies in the car, there were wrappers all over the place.

Still baffles me to this day.

Hubi ,

Feel free to stop by anytime

Hubi ,

This is way too real, there actually was money in the glove box but the candy thief didn’t take any of it

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...

Hubi ,

Word of advice: do not do this to any device that you actually depend on. Linux enthusiasm is all fine and fun, but this will kill most practical functionality of your device. I’d say try it out on a old phone you might have laying around but not on your daily driver.

Hubi ,

Epic sold Bandcamp a few weeks ago and the new owners instantly laid off a large part of the staff. It’s fair to say that Bandcamps future is uncertain.

Favourite FOSS Torrenting Client for Linux that has a VPN killswitch?

I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?...

Hubi ,

Adding to the qbittorrent recommendations: qb has Socks5 support and and supports binding traffic to a specific interface. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Hubi ,

I mean… That essentially does the same thing but it’s much more complicated than just clicking a button in the qb GUI…

Hubi ,

Fair enough.

Hubi ,

The state is Saxony and Saxon Switzerland is a national park within Saxony. It’s a mountainous region that continues across the Czech border, where it is called Bohemian Switzerland.

I guess the logic behind the name is not much deeper than “it looks like Switzerland”.

Hubi ,

Calling it now, Radon will become the new Comic Sans.

You can get an electric Benz way under 100k, probably half that. 100k is S-class pricing and it has always been this high.

Hubi ,

Can’t say I had this on my Bingo card for 2023…

Hubi ,

It’s not much of a secret, he has said so himself.

Hubi ,

This is surprisingly close to how my Great-Grandfather avoided getting drafted into the first World War. He stayed home for a week and only drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes non-stop. When he showed up to the draft office looking like a zombie they turned him away pretty much instantly. He was a pretty healthy dude aside from that.

What are your thoughts on a user-driven, officially unofficial radio station for Lemmy?

For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it. So I thought I’d see what Lemmy thinks about the concept, before I go all in and start investing in licensing fees, better...

Hubi ,

Cheers to whoever suggested Insomnia (Monster Mix) by Faithless - great taste! I was about to suggest it myself!

Active is like two days max in my experience.

After that it became “Quintili Vare, legiones redde” real quick.

I hate how much the AI term gets thrown around. This just looks like regular Photoshop.

I think I’m sensing a pattern

This app is great, I’ve used it for a few months. I used to hate dealing with appimages, now I don’t even think about them.

Hubi ,

Sounds like Photon might be the one you’re looking for: phtn.app

Hubi ,

I guess the sandpaper room would be pretty far down on the list.

Hubi ,

Reddit is also no longer what reddit was.

Hubi ,

It’s such a shame that it’s an Epic exclusive…

I hope this will end up being available to regular consumers one day and not just as an expensive enterprise solution.

‘This isn’t our problem, Gena’ Video shows Yekaterinburg police sat in car and laughed while watching fight that ended in Gabonese student’s death (meduza.io)

In August 2023, 32-year-old Francois Ndjaseli, a graduate student from Gabon who was studying at Yekaterinburg’s Ural Federal University, was fatally stabbed outside of a Burger King in the city. Danil Fomin, a local 23-year-old, was charged with the murder and arrested shortly after. According to eyewitnesses, in the minutes...

Hubi ,

By the time the police arrived at the scene of the crime, Francois Ndjaseli had been stabbed. After conducting an internal investigation, the Russian Interior Ministry fired both Gennady Izergin and Ivan Oleinikov. The officers have also been charged with abuse of authority and are facing up to 10 years in prison.

Surprisingly solid response for Russia, really didn’t expect that.

Can Reddit Mods know if some accounts come from the same IP?

Hi, when I was a reddit faker (I haven’t relapsed, I’ve stayed out of reddit and never posted another fake story, im cured) I wondered if someone the mods would figure out the tens of accounts that came from my computer and noticed I was the writer of many fake stories....

Hubi ,

If you were banned from a community and re-join with a new account, the new one will be flagged for ban-evasion and it’s up to the mods to allow the posts or not. Admins can definitely see your IP and can ban you site-wide, but subreddit moderators cannot.

Hubi ,

Yeah, but that only counts for site-wide bans, not subreddit bans.

Hubi ,

It’s also roughly 5.5 % of the total Soviet military losses during WW2. Pretty insane to think about all these lives being wasted to steal a stretch of land.
