I think it's important to mention that this isn't an issue EVs have but an issue Teslas in particular have. They seem to have a really bad build quality from what I hear.

It started getting popular years ago and that's when me an my friends switched to it too (back when I didn't know shit about privacy). You gotta keep in mind the alternatives back then were Skype, which was meant for 1 to 1 calls, had shit audio quality and issues all the time and TeamSpeak, which was complicated because you needed a server (we were kids, we only knew what a server was from Minecraft) and had a text chat that was only a small part of the bottom of the window that was full of connected and disconnected messages, so I actually didn't even know you could write in that. TeamSpeak's interface also isn't exactly good-looking or very intuitive. Then came Discord, you could create a server for you and your friends for free, you saw who of your friends was online and playing what, you could see when someone was in a voice channel and could just join, you had multiple text chats where you could easily send a link or memes while playing and you could easily share your screen with the others. It was a major improvement over the other two. I know that it sucks from a privacy standpoint but there's good reasons why people started using it.

Yes, it's called Funkwhale

I hope GTK and GNOME (or is GTK part of GNOME?) adopt this, I didn't even know just how bad the inefficiency with todays cursors is. Having a single svg for each cursor and rendering it server-side makes so much more sense.

Did someone already open an issue for this?

Or just force all subscriptions to allow you to cancel with one click

A VPN is enough for torrenting, as long as the VPN provider isn't logging. I personally use AirVPN because they have port-forwarding but I've used Mullvad before. I also live in Germany and I've never gotten in trouble.

The guide you linked seems a little outdated, Jackett has been replaced by Prowlarr, which is there to have a central location to manage your trackers. If you plan to use Jellyfin, you should also use Jellyseer instead if Overseer. The *arr services are the ones that actually search for the files to download by using the trackers you set up in Prowlarr. You don't need all the *arr services, I only have Sonarr and Radarr, which are for shows and movies respectively. I also have Bazarr for subtitles. AdguardHome is only for ad-blocking, might be useful to you but isn't needed. Idk why that's even in the guide. Flaresolverr is something I've never heard about and I don't use it, so I can't tell you anything about that. Heimdall is something I don't need because I use YunoHost, which has a dashboard already but it might be useful to you.

I'm not even willing to use it for free 💀

So they literally have to pay people to use bing?

AV1 is a good example of a non-proprietary protocol replacing proprietary protocols (h.264, h.265, ...)

I was thinking of Augmented Reality and was very confused

I've heard OpenStreetMap isn't that good in the US because there's just not enough volunteers there. In germany, however, it's more up to date than Google Maps from my experience, aside from stores and the like. Routes on Organic Maps are the same as on Google Maps here.

Where they really need to improve performance is on mobile. On my old phone, I never really noticed how bad it was aside from the high energy usage reported by Android for Firefox. I recently got a new phone tho, which has a 120hz screen and yesterday I tried Cromite, a Chromium fork for Android, which improves privacy and adds adblock. I tested it against Firefox (Mull to be precise), which is what I use as my default browser, and I noticed that scrolling pages was way smoother on Cromite. First I thought that maybe Firefox is just running on 60hz but scrolling through settings and the like was perfectly smooth, just webpages felt laggy. This means that Firefox is simply very slow at rendering pages on mobile, to the point that it can't keep up with my screens refresh rate at all.

Firefox on desktop is great and I really wanna use it on mobile too but I'm honestly contemplating just switching to Cromite. The only feature I'm missing in Cromite, that I can get for Firefox with the extension Libredirect, is redirecting to privacy respecting and lightweight frontends / proxies, like Reddit to Libreddit but it might be possible to add a userscript to Cromite with that functionality.

It's not illegal to know. OpenAI decides what ChatGPT is allowed to tell you, it's not the government.

This is about the people who have to check if this stuff is violating the rules, not users who happened to see it

Installing an adblocker like uBlock Origin improves performance but aside from that I don't think there's a lot you can do

If every app on your phone was constantly running and asking the server for new messages, it would drain a lot of battery. That's why phones instead use a single app that asks a notification server if any new notifications are there. The way it works is if you e.g. get a WhatsApp message, the WhatsApp server tells the notification server that you have a new message, then when the notification app asks that server for new messages, the server will tell it that there's a new WhatsApp notification. Then the notification app wakes up WhatsApp and tells it there's a new notification, then WhatsApp checks for new messages and shows you the notification.

Most apps use Apple's system (whatever it's called) on iOS or Google's Firebase on Android for that. There are also apps that let you use the open standard UnifiedPush, which let's you use any notification app or server you want.

Police officer emptied his entire mag on the car the suspect was sitting in after an acorn fell on its roof because he thought the suspect was shooting at him. I think his partner did the same. The suspect wasn't hit tho.

This thread really makes me appreciate how good I have it...

Tbh this is kinda making me want to spin up a Lemmy instance to try out this tool haha

I'm pretty sure that was the joke

You should look into Krita. Not a replacement for Photoshop but I find it more intuitive than GIMP, at least.

Someone else commented that this dude often posts stuff like this and it's not satire...

What about that could possibly be illegal?

It contains mostly open source code. The proprietary binary MS distributes adds very little proprietary stuff to it. You can use the open source version Code - OSS just fine or use VSCodium which is based on that

I use Kvæsitso. I like that it's more search focused and has a clean homescreen with just the clock and a search bar. You can scroll up to see widgets arranged vertically or scroll up to show the app drawer. It also looks nice because it supports the new Android design (Material v3) and dynamic colors. It also supports dynamically colored app icons like lawnicons and has an option to color all other icons as well.

I can't get over 0.00 most of the time because no one's leeching 😭

Idk how I'm even supposed to get a good ratio

You can get intro skipping for Jellyfin too with a plugin. It even works with Findroid, which is a native Android app for Jellyfin. I've been using it for a while now (maybe a month or so) and it's always worked perfectly.

Btw you can also download the wireguard config for your vpn and import in the system settings. Then you won't have to open the mullvad app and can just toggle it on or off from the control center.

The issue is that programs can't directly use your gpu when using a virtual machine

But this will definitely ban all VPNs

They won't even let you watch stuff like anime with subtitles if it's not dubbed in your language. Like why?

Maybe they still have the content that got removed because of that, you might be able to train an AI just on that. That way they don't need to manually check it, it's already been done after all.

I like the way GTK is doing it. You have a thin scrollbar that is overlayed over the content and has no background (so just the knob) but when you get near it with the mouse, the background appears and it becomes double as thick. That way you're not wasting any space but you don't have this issue of it being hard to use either.

It would also stop most regular users from signing up. This kind of stuff being free has just become the norm.

The whole point of Lemmy being open source and federated is to prevent just that

It was probably more embarrassing for the guy who had cum in his macbook

Just want to add that the reason Bedrock can't work on Linux is because you can only get it through the Microsoft Store and, as far as I know, there is no way, and there will probably never be a way, to get games from there on Linux

Every software has security vulnerabilities. The important thing is just that they get fixed quickly when they're found and it seems like that was the case here.

I really don't get why people care so much about the political opinions of the devs, you're just using the software they're making and not hanging out with them or something
