Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

That’s a weird take on this. Which person who loves travelling then proceeds to do absolutely nothing at the destination? I mean, maybe you met people like that, but I have never in my life talked to anyone like that.

OK, certainly this season now follows all previous seasons and Picard. After half the season the writing drifts off from good start into eh whatever.

Nice surprise I found was “Captain” Rhys! Damn he looked fly as hell in that chair!

But the episode itself, what’s going on with that library. So it changes location every 50 years but also is in the badlands for a century already. It seems to have relations to all kinds of species, but also is kind of secret. They have strict rules against misbehaving. But when a big bad ship with heavy weaponry comes along, they are helpless. Ah and almost forgot, they require you have that metal slip to even get there, but the Breen are welcome without it if they are nice. So much promise with it and so poorly written.

Don’t get me started on Moll and her takeover of Breen society, like what. Most xenophobic race ever and its that easy to turn the average Breen? Not believable.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

She later said Telstra had contacted her and offered a free Fetch box, which she acknowledged was a “reasonable resolution”.

And we have learned exactly nothing here. See you in 2 years when Fetch closes down and you are not getting anything back because you actually did not “buy” those movies on Fetch but on the previous platform.

I am always amazed how these github pages often have 0 information what the software is actually doing.

For this one too you need to follow a link on the mainpage to get to a different site that tells you its for backups. I might have missed the word backup on the github page though… Ah no, it is mentioned a few times but the context makes it hard to get that’s the purpose of the software.

r/sysadmin and the size of this community

So I have been a part of this community for a while and it seems pretty quiet. I know Lemmy is not as big as Reddit so this community will always be much smaller but I kind of miss the activity on r/sysadmin. Infinity for Reddit still works for view only so I have been scrolling though posts on Reddit as some of the stories and...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Fully agree. I see this sentiment so often, “we gotta tell people from reddit how great it is here!” This might work with something like a meme community, but once it becomes a bit less mainstream you need people to make that decision themselves. It will look needy and annoying to try and “educate” them about how supposedly great it is here.

Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Flat fee is good. If its subscription I am hoping for forks.

Edit: also, I don’t care what they say they plan to do. In the end actions matter. They can say now its just a small flat fee but 6 months in they can change their mind and make the crappiest micro transaction model they can think of.

Well, if those were “legitimate” ads the OS would have ways of shutting those down.

That aside, anyone thinking that’s the last time they’ll try that shit is oblivous. It will come back, because why not. Only solution is to finally stop using Windows if you can, or at least dual boot.

Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.

Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.

Exactly the same crap as a year ago with Reddit. Just like back then users need to go somewhere else and learn from the experience.

Before people are like eh eh anti-vaxx blabla or ha ha we knew this had side-effects, since this is still a for profit company, this part is quite important:

AstraZeneca said the vaccine was being removed from markets for commercial reasons. It said the vaccine was no longer being manufactured or supplied, having been superseded by updated vaccines that tackle new variants.

This is it. Also given the low quality of the movies production wise you can even rip them at suboptimal settings. I am sure Mom won’t care if she watches her Christian propaganda at 4k or 720p with some visual artifacts.

Honestly, 88 1TB drives would make me envious too.

It will be. We are just not sure yet how because it precisely doesn’t work like reddit or Facebook. But I am sure there are ways to manipulate here too, it may just be more elaborate.

They provided the backup e-mail address

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

Just in case anyone thinks they decrypted mails and handed them over, nope. I hadn’t thought about that “settings” are not encrypted. Guess if you want to stay anonymous you shouldn’t add your private mail address in there as a backup.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But if you use their service for free, you do not have to provide any identifying info. As far as I am aware there is no check what you enter is legit and there is no requirement to supply a backup address. So the whole solution for a user to stay anonymous as much as they can with Protonmail is simply to not enter any identifying info.

Now? Like a few years back already. For me this started to get ridiculous when Paramount pulled all their Star Trek content from everywhere, putting it all in Paramount+, their own platform. I think by now this is partially reversed again.

Edit, holy shit, just started reading this “article”. Did someone not teach their AI model proper grammar and language in general? Hurts to read, fuck that.
