Mind elaborating a bit more?

Out of all the advertising they could do, at least this is somewhat unobtrusive. If they had this instead of preroll ads, I’d actually be okay with it.

Some way of globally capturing hotkeys, for things like starting stream, media hotkeys, etc. Only passing key events to the foreground window is shortsighted, but we need a secure way of doing this.

No because I switch tabs constantly.

Legitimately best OS theme ever.

I mean, at least I CAN fix this stuff in Linux. Plenty of instances like this in Windows where I’d just be stuck. I really need the FreeCAD team to get their shit together before I can truly swap over.

VPS typically have shared IPs. You’re paying extra for a dedicated IPv4.

It’s because many privacy enthusiasts are or have also been in network infrastructure, and realize the measures that must be taken on a hostile network which literally defines the internet.

I told you what to do. Rent a VPS, and set your own VPN up. Nothing is stopping you from doing this the right way.

I do this, legitimately – but with a very specific application: Firefox. On Windows, I can get firefox top border to a VERY small amount. But for some reason, in the past – every Linux distro I found, when Firefox is maximized, I still get an additional window decoration on the top, above the browser tabs. My Firefox bar on Windows only takes up 64 pixels of height.

AI isn’t the threat to the web that this article makes it. The threat that we currently face is another round of COPPA and forced personal identification for accessing the internet under the guise of ‘protecting the children’.

Twitch shadowbans public VPNs due to abuse/bots. The most common method for people to get around bans is to use a VPN – now assume millions of viewers, and you’ve got an easy recipe for needing to stop that activity.

You’re not punished for being privacy conscious; you’re being punished for being roughly in the same realm as harassers, etc.

If you don’t want to be banned, rent a VPS and set up your own private VPN for only you. The problem is that using Nord, Windscribe, etc etc is that you’re sharing that VPN tunnel with hundreds, maybe thousands of people at a time.

This is mostly Bluetooth LE so that you can use their new device finder network if your phone gets lost. Thieves often turn off the phone as the first step, so this may help a lot of people recover their devices.

3 rules for backups:

1. Keep 3 copies of your data.
2. Keep 2 of those copies on different types of media
3. Keep 1 of those copies off-site.

I keep a backup on an array of RAIDZ disks. I keep a second copy on a very large hard disk; one that is powered down 99% of the time.

And I keep another at the in-laws house that I can upload to remotely.

Except the mortgage payment ends after 30 years, and what you pay into the house is yours afterwards. Sure, the insurance and other taxes continue - but once the house is paid off, it’s done. I paid my mortgage off in 5 years by dumping every last dime I had into it and living off of nothing but scraps.

The stock market is rigged too – I’ve seen multiple instances where hedgies are using algorithms to do their stock trading, only to get something wrong, and we end up… REVERSING THE TRADES FOR THEM!!!

Algo-traders, should be permanently locked into their trades. Make a mistake – oh…fucking…well.

Landlords aren’t profiting off of scarcity. They’re profiting off of having the means to do something that renters won’t: Buy a house with a 30yr mortgage, and leverage that money for something useful.

You too can buy a house. But everyone who shits on landlords, always spits out excuses why buying a house isn’t “feasible” or would “lock them down too much”, etc etc.

If you can buy 30k worth of tractor equipment, you can run it and make the money back you spent on it. That’s all landlords are doing - they’re buying when you won’t (not can’t…won’t) and then selling it back to you in trade for your “economic freedom” to move every 1-2 years and bitch about it.

Then we have the whole “fuckcars” movement, who wants everyone crammed into a shared-wall sardine can and nobody to own a house of their own ever; for the sake of population density so they can bike everywhere.

Lemmy is filled with a lot of extremists. Nuanced thinking is in short supply here.

Take a look at the game Nightingale. You can use cards to combine “Forest, Desert, and Swamp” - with other attributes like “Blood Moon”, “Fae Wilds”, “Industrial” (makes the map foggy, gets boosts to crafting), “Quarry”, etc.; unless of course your scope is only mars.

That’s what I’m asking you.

With cheaters now using DMA to read memory locations on secondary computers, what’s your suggested solution? A great many people can go “this bad, don’t do this”…

Great. Fine. Don’t do this – then suggest something we do instead.
