Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

Look it up on PCGamingWiki,
they usually list all configuration + compatibility changes that need to be tweaked:

Pro or anti consumer features? x')

Bliss for mental health indeed,
been doing this for a while now,
zero regrets.

My "nExT gEn" update experience:

  1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
  2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
  3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
  4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
  5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

I like the electric part.

What I don't like is that it's a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.

Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.

Relic Castle,
is the site name that got DMCAd by Nintendont.

Saves you from opening the article.

True open source projects like LibreWolf, Ungoogled Chromium > Sketchy world of Brave

Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?

One thing is certain,
due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
I won't be buying into their next console,
they won't get a single dime from me anymore.

Figure out which politicians are behind this.
And throw them out,
since they are trying to take away your rights (to privacy).

They are looking to apply mass surveillance upon you guys wrapped into a "For the kids safety" package as usual..

Nintendont,
the lawsuit company that makes games on the side, strikes again...

We're well beyond the point by now of me ever buying anything from them again.
I won't support such behavior of any company.

2 words for you:
Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc..

*Nintendont

The lawsuit company which makes games on the side strikes again.

Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.
https://suyu.dev/

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.

I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

Java > Bedrock

F*ck M$ for even making Bedrock...
It's an inferior version of Minecraft and it fractures the modding community.

Android TV is not free though.

No, instead they raped his rights with some ToS..

May the best product win (being AdBlockers ofc, lol)

They might have been doing it for longer then I've been aware of.

But this is a (small) list of things that caught my attention and made me despise them:

  • Garry's Mod takedowns
  • Yuzu + Citra takedowns
  • Relic Castle takedown
  • Palworld Mod takedowns
  • BOTW Mod takedowns
  • PointCrow DMCAs
  • Gary Bowser's life ruined

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:

  • Proprietary pieces in their code
  • Telemetry (spyware)
  • Snap packages by default

SimpleLogin,
to generate email aliases for permanent personal accounts and forward the mails to an undisclosed private main mail adres:
https://simplelogin.io/

Temp-Mail,
to generate email adresses for temporary throw-away use cases:
https://temp-mail.org/

Sign-up still requires a phone number.. -.-"

Checkout Matrix/Element or Session,
there you can actually enjoy privacy by signing-up without a phone number/email:

Edit: Due to Session's company residing in Australia,
which appareantly has bad privacy laws,
i don't feel comfortable with recommending it anymore

Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?

1 more...
  • Communication: Matrix
  • Browsing: I2P
  • Communities: ActivityPub / Mastodon
  • Software Forge: Fogejo + ForgeFed
  • OS: Linux
  • Money: Monero

Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:

  • Decentralized / Federated
  • Sensorship resistant
  • Privacy respecting
  • Open source

2 issues I have with this:

  1. Google is one of the biggest spy-ware companies out there
  2. Due to 1. I would not be suprised if they participate in Harvest now, decrpyt later
    (regarding users who think they will be safe under a VPN)

I'd consider taking another ISP,
you know, just one who is not known for using you as a product and shoving spyware into every nook and cranny they can find..

High resolution neofetch image? ๐Ÿ‘€
If that's not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how ๐Ÿ˜„

Only show interest in open source software,
let the anti consumer surveillance tech companies drown.

For SearX,
checkout these random SearX redirectors:

Both increase your privacy + prevent rate limits.

It's not dead,
the (over)hyped period is just over.

I for one do plan on picking it up again in the near future, they added quite a bit of new content (pals, tower boss, island, oil rig, arena, raids, ...) since I last played it.

Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!

By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.

I guarantee you,
If you use it, you'll be their free training monkey.

And once they used you for free,
and the product improved enough,
they'll subscription charge you forever to make use of it.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool

vomits in mouth a little

I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month, quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it's an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

Amazing, basically native speeds,
currently playing Horizon Forbidden West with maxed out graphics and DRS disabled at a steady 60-80 FPS.

Previously I also played Horizon Zero Dawn in it, also maxed out graphics, steady locked 100 FPS,

So kind of Google, always putting out new fun challenges to encourage people to get their hands dirty with hacking their crap :)

Hope my and other instances will de-federate from Threads/Meta.

We don't need that spyware giant in the fediverse..

WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).

JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.

WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don't have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.

They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.

This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.

WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.

Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.

No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don't grasp all of the above yet.

You can't blame people for the (sometimes) limited brainset they receive.

If it's unclear to the majority, then it's Lemmy which should aim to simplify the process of joining/explaining it to the general population.

Federated software is awesome, but sadly the recruiting process is still too difficult for many.

If it's unclear which app to download / which instance to join, then that's where a lot of registrations are being missed out on.

Never ever would I consider playing a game with kernel level access.
