But it's not, they're not doing actual piracy there, they're talking about it, and that's very much not illegal

Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is "429 Too Many Requests", after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it's handling

But that's what the marketers are selling, "this will replace a lot of workers!" and it just cannot

This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it's current sorry decayed state and at any time you'll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can't.

Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games

And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive

At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there's a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i'll stay away from Android 14 for now.

I hope this breaks the games on Deck so that people notice

In EU at least they're required by law to have working unsubscribe links that actually unsubscribe you, otherwise they risk getting huge fines, i understand that in California things are not too far from this but no idea about the details

It's exactly that same kind of person

For the needs of "degoogled but fully functional Android OS" these days at the end of 2023, the options are LineageOS for most phones, GrapheneOS on a Pixel, and that's it? Or are there more projects at this point?

jherazob , 6 months ago

Correct!

Tangential partial offtopic aside: Unless i'm misunderstanding, you're setting this up behind your home router and allowing it on your various devices using a VPN. Am i right? Any details, or even better, guides, on how to replicate this setup? I guess the DNS records on Leng are to be able to call services inside your home LAN by name instead of IPs, which is a nice quality of life upgrade.

Troy Hunt, the Have I Been Pwned person, has a very informative analysis of the breach that was not a breach, turns out nothing actually "leaked" from Linkedin, it's a mix of scrapped and generated stuff

Here's a laundry list from one of the Beehaw people, and apparently the devs don't have any of this as a priority

Dude had an anonymous birdsite account with about a dozen followers, all they did was retweet stuff critical of the government, and somehow the government identified him and sentenced him to death over this. How did they find this info? Twitter outright gave it to them, therefore they became accomplices in a death.

Seems to be VERY tech related.

VERY understandable, requiring a GPU would limit it's application and spread, i hope a good GPU-less solution is found eventually

Last i saw, the physical media version of their recent shows came with a box and a code to get it online, not actual discs, so they're effectively getting out of the business of letting you own your media

I believe there's people already working on that, but no idea how they're doing these days

jherazob , 10 months ago

No, no, the seeds of the site's downfall have been planted by the administration, you gotta remember these sites depend on a tiny amount of power posters, not to mention the moderator contingent, which they pissed off. Not all migrated away, but enough did to hurt the quality of the site, and any that remain will remember. They HAVE lost a lot and haven't noticed yet. Sites that big will not fall in a day, it will be alive a decade from now, like Livejournal or Slashdot are still alive.

jherazob , 10 months ago

Significantly

jherazob , 11 months ago

You're expecting something like the Digg to Reddit mass emigration. That likely will never happen again, the conditions for that are gone. What's happening is what i predicted for years, people are moving away from the site but not going to a single "replacement" place as there's just nothing like it, but to many. Be it the Fediverse, Discord, Facebook and related properties, various chats, even forums and freaking IRC.

And it's also clear it's not going to be a single massive exodus, but a slow decay over a long time. The site will still be alive ten years from now, like Livejournal and other relics of the past are still technically alive, but will slowly fade from relevance.

And one important thing: Sites like that depend on a few users, the so-called 90-9-1 rule explains it well, only a tiny, tiny percentage of users of the site produce the content it needs to survive, and they're precisely the ones the administration pissed off. And not only that, but it depends on the moderators, without them the site would devolve to a sewer in no time, and they too have been shafted by the administration. A good portion of them have left the site for good, and the hit will be perceived in time, as they cannot be replaced easily.

Everything that made the site good is dying or dead, let it die, or just survive as a zombie. It will become a cesspool of reposts, recycled content and garbage, and any user that creates good content that still remains there will eventually leave at seeing what the site will turn into.

Now seriously, people forget that Lemmy is alpha software, and Kbin is even younger

jherazob , 11 months ago

I insist, we need a nomadic identities thing on Fedi, you create your user in one instance and now you can log in on any federated server on any of the ActivityPub services, maybe that Zot protocol thing or something on those lines

jherazob , 11 months ago

It's still increased attack surface, also you don't need to be notorious for bad actors to want to steal your info or identity

jherazob , 11 months ago

The real question is how many power users and moderators left, the first are the ones that produce the most content, the second are the ones that prevent the place turning into a shithole. If an important fraction of those left, it WILL impact the site.

jherazob , 11 months ago

They've already been talking to the admins of those instances, they did it because there weren't better options like in Mastodon, remember that Lemmy is still Alpha software
