Some real digital history record keeping there! This stuff is so cool and is something we never considered with all those random memory cards we gave away and sold.

I’m so jealous.

Shameless ,

I mean, its possible.

But then again, people have now known the beauty of steam. If this does happen as you say it could, it does open up the possibility for someone to make a Steam_v2.

I have faith that there are enough people who are passionate about Linux that it’s possible for Windows to lose some of its dominance in the future. Maybe the enshittification of steam is needed to make that a possibility.

Shameless ,

I’m trying to learn rust and so far this has definitely made it so much more accessible.

Not to mention their super useful “rustlings” training which has these nice little challenges to get you used to language and syntax

Shameless ,

It could be a number of things that people have mentioned in here.

Just allow yourself to do what you actually want to do. If you feel like you actually want to watch movies or TV shows then you need to consciously stop picking up your phone.

At the same time, if you only want to watch a movie or TV show because its what you “think” is expected of a “normal” person, stop. Just let yourself lay on the couch/bed and scroll.

We place too many expectations on ourselves these days to be doing certain things, instead of just doing the things we actually want.

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

Shameless ,

I’m also not a fan of MS spyware.

But in defence of the MS authenticator, the 2FA prompts it sends are very convenient, how they pop up and ask for the number displayed on screen, its definitely more secure than just the one time code.

Plus it also shows what phone the user is using when they install and configure the authenticator app, this is also very useful if you suddenly see the user accessing their mail or one drive from another mobile device.

I mean it is… They could literally have a cure that they can sell to millions of people around the world, as well as millions more who will contract diabetes in the future.

I don’t understand this conspiracy and companies don’t want cures. I can understand scepticism around pharmaceutical companies for all the awful shit they’ve done, but it doesn’t mean that scientists and researchers will never be able to produce cures.

Publishers are a cancer. Knowledge is meant to be shared, freely. (mander.xyz)

The university should be the place demonstrating socioecological change, serving as a site of experimentation and praxis (see Dunlap et al., 2023). This, however, could not be further from the truth. Beside advancing technologies of digital, political and military control (Chatterjee & Maira, 2014), not to mention genetic...

Shameless ,

Given the times I’ve seen news articles and screenshots of poorly vetted published journals. Surely a free open source publisher managed by the academic community can’t be much worse? I also don’t know shit about the requirements to actually publish so this is probably a naive take

Shameless ,

I remember learning about this in the early 00’s but then the textbooks were saying about this newer memory technology which the world has moved to known as DDR! Makes me feel so old now 👵

Shameless ,

How are acts such as this not treated the same as though one person had decided to do this to 5 people? What’s the point of a CEO or Director if not to step in at times like this and do the right thing? And if they don’t, they face the consequences.

I understand its all legal BS that negates the responsibility, but it just doesn’t seem logical regardless of how its framed.

Shameless ,

You wanna talk Chinese spyware, why are they not outright banning Temu? That’s a much better documented case of actually being spyware.

In terms of Tiktok being spyware, they are tracking users in much the same ways that every other big social media company is. Should other nations be worried about Facebook sharing that data with the US govt to produce psyops campaigns against foreign nations?

I’m against any country blocking access to things in the name of “national security” and providing little to no evidence on it. Its been done too many times to trojan horse in other malicious activities that governments want to do.

Shameless ,

Everything old is new again!

Shameless ,

I hope their government does, however I do not support the inevitable impact this will have on their civilians.

Shameless ,

I can already see the headlines, “Iran targets hospitals, monsters!!!”

Takes rage baiting to a whole new extreme 🙃

Shameless ,

I strongly disagree with humans being self absorbed assholes. Capitalism promotes humans being self absorbed greedy assholes.

There are plenty of excellent examples of humans being selfless and working together in spite of a corrupt self-absorbed system.

The world is going to shit right no and a lot of stuff feels hopeless and like we have nothing to look forward to, but if we give up on our fellow humans then who can we work with to pull the world out of all this shit?

Shameless ,

That last sentence 🤮

How can I upload books (to libgen, et al) without a trace back to me?

I know Calibre can remove DRM, but it seems that Calibre does not remove things like watermarks, references to the buyer by name, etc. Now maybe I can try to find those manually, but that is an error prone process. Plus, what if they embed a unique digital signature that ties back to me? I understand that this is a very uncommon...

Shameless ,

I’m an idiot so excuse me if this is just way too simple. If you’re able to remove DRM and get the file, is it not just possible to copy the content out of the file and make a brand new file?

I know I’m probably over simplifying things but I know if I’m paranoid about stuff like exif data in an image, if I’m in a pinch I’ll just screenshot the original image instead.

Shameless ,

Can someone explain to me why I want the video proxied vs the video coming directly from YT via a front end? I’ve used YouTube Vanced in the past and it was awesome when it worked

Shameless ,

Is streamio similar to Kodi? I used to use that back in the day and it was good, then suddenly it got super popular and a bunch of the plugins were taken down/blocked by ISP’s and I moved back to torrenting
