To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you're using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels... off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a "where have you clicked" report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There's just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

Can someone match the remaining runes to their meme template?

I got:

Edit: got 'em! From left to right:

1. Virgin vs. Chad

2. Death Knocking on Doors

3. Distracted Boyfriend

4. Loss

5. Me Explaining to my Mom

6. Woman Yelling at a Cat

7. Daily Struggle/Two Buttons

8. Is this a pigeon?

9. Drake like/don't like

There's a push towards WebAssembly. Officially it's not supported yet, but most browsers can handle it. I don't know how mature the project is though.

But yeah, essentially everything on the web is JS.

Your Mileage May Vary

It has an Oompa-Loompa vibe to it

"The Trump administration touted him"

Who's "him" ? I thought it was Trump

Can someone explain to me what is the link between Mastodon and Lemmy? From the Wikipedia chart, it looks like ActivityPub links them together in some fashion; I just don't get how.

I've discovered Lemmy, which I like a lot, so I wouldn't return to reddit either.

Although I do miss the large communities, but oh well, hopefully more people will jump ship towards the fediverse.

That's.. it? Why?

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I'd happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it's really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.

Congrats on exercising even though you didn't feel like it!

Imo that's a very good way to get used to doing it, and in turn a way to get in shape (or whatever your goal is). Keep on keeping on!

How did you find this post ?

Thank you!

The cops shot at the cops' car

That's it, thanks!

I think it'll come with time. As Lemmy (the software) and its userbase matures, the situation will be better for smaller communities.

From what I understand, Cloudflare can block some DDoS attacks, but not all of them.

The attacks on Lemmy have to do with poorly optimized SQL requests; these are requests that shouldn't take long to execute, but do due to some oversight. By spamming these requests, the attackers can bring Lemmy on it's knees.

Actually, wouldn't this attack better be categorized as a DoS attack ? What's so distributed about it ?

Hell yeah 😎

Your link (or at least what I've read from it) doesn't cover why it would be bad to make the ocean saltier; it only talks about the rise of the salty ocean water.

I used to have the same issue. Turns out, it was fixed by a firmware update on my motherboard.

Okay, so it's not really implemented yet. Can't wait until federation is more profoundly implemented then!

Thanks

I have one of those, it won't work with my Linux though :/

Thanks, updated my list!

Hmmm I don't really know. You can try with this tutorial I found.

The way I did it, is I checked my motherboard's website, and saw they posted a recent firmware update.

I feel like short list should come before long list

I hear that instances can disable downvoting in Lemmy's configuration. Maybe this is some solution to this issue.

No, I think he's right. Canada's suffering doesn't mean his problems aren't valid, and he has the right to express them.

But of course, we shouldn't forget that Canada has to deal with the wildfires.

people not understanding your thought process

First, knowing that you have a mind that may take shortcuts that others aren't used to taking is helpful. Whenever you explain something to someone else, it is useful to explicit the reason you take these shortcuts.

For instance, if while talking about subject A, your mind makes a link to subject B and them to C, you have to talk about B before talking about C, even if to you B is evident and there's no point in talking about it.

people not understanding your way of life

People don't need to understand my way of life. It's my life, I do what I want. I can explain to them why I chose to do the things I do, but ultimately I'm going to do it whether they understand or not – unless they convince me that it's a bad way to live.

I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard's firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

I believe in the States it's considered a federal crime to throw someone else's mail away. It's probably a crime in other countries too.

The closest that comes to mind are QSFP cables.

Really? For me it's just the android logo

I tested high on the IQ scale. I'm single, unemployed and have trouble making friends.

I know I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but those are symptoms of gifted people.

You should look into giftedness. I've recently read a book on it (in french), and it's helped me lots in understanding my condition, my differences with others as well as the challenges I face in the corporate world.

I'd be happy to talk about it if you wish!

Okay, thank you for your input.

I've heard that Beat Saber no longer works on Linux, have you tried it recently ?

In any case, I might try to run Windows on a VM with GPU passthrough.
