FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn’t.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 1 month ago:
no I don’t believe a damn word of what apple’s gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it’s showing data that hasn’t been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the “recently deleted” depending on how long ago it was deleted.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 1 month ago:
no when I say “overwritten” I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 1 month ago:
yeah cuz for normal, day-to-day use that’s exponentially slower the more you’re deleting
You can do that when you wipe something.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 1 month ago:
I mean, to be completely fair, that’s how data storage works.
We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)
This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

it sucks but can you blame them?
For picking discord I very much can blame them, I figure it won’t be long until that goes down the drain too.
- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 1 month ago:
Just so you know, the actual source code for this project mentions both Jamulator and another project that did this for the N64.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask just got an unofficial PC port 1 month ago:
Nintendo has not taken action on the massively popular SM64 Decompilation and PC ports (and ironically switch ports) in the past what…3 years?
- Comment on 1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog 1 month ago:
(the sync can actually be self-hosted and is OSS, the DRM is third-party and proprietary)
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask just got an unofficial PC port 1 month ago:
They probably mean the Super Mario 64 Decompilation Project.
The goal was to turn the finished ROM back into unable code, that would do 1:1 the same thing. They finished a couple of years back.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask just got an unofficial PC port 1 month ago:
Indeed, these decom projects do not include any of Nintendo’s assets.
The code compiles 1:1 back into a unable ROM but isn’t made just using a source code leak. It is reverse-engineered just like the SM64 decomp
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
“Inside the EU” in the sense of “its headquartered in the EU” or in the sense of “available in the EU”?
either way, I’ve heard lots of people here vouch for Tidal.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
I think what you’re experiencing online is a mix of loud minorities^1^ and online disinhibition^2^, not an accurate representation of vegans.
1: When there exists a minority in XYZ Group that is “louder” than the majority, causing people to associate XYZ group with the minority. 2: The phenomena of people acting out more violently, frequently, or pushy online when compared to being in-person, primarily due to anonymity
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
In spirit
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans. Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan
On this note, I’d like to point to the Loud Minority problem; You have XYZ group, and within XYZ group there exists a minority that comes across as very “loud”. You can barely miss them, and because they state they’re a part of XYZ group, you start associating that group with the loud minority.
Happens with Vegans a lot, and usually people which have already associated a group with a minority within said group which annoys them do not want to learn that they are wrong, or will just refuse to accept they are wrong.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 1 month ago:
They are technically not wrong when they say that the whole experience isn’t made up of just an App
They are intentionally dodging the ACTUAL question.
Anyways here is a leak of their “LAM”, which is just playwright for the most part. web.archive.org/web/20240424133441if_/…/vYHXbUwP?…
With that, we have both components, yay?

I know enough people that hate Material Design 3, or even just the Monet component, so I’ll leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.
- Comment on New piefed feature , anyone can subscribe to any post or comment (piefed is a reddit and lemmy alternative) 1 month ago:
well, not if you want a UI that’s designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔
- Comment on Which is the best Lemmy app for mobile? 1 month ago:
FWIW, Voyager has a Material-Design inspired alternative look that can be enabled in the settings.
- Comment on Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game 1 month ago:
Hypixel is fucking massive and finances this purely of off cosmetics for the most part, with Hypixel having developed their own custom server-side anticheat solution
Oh, they also don’t use neural networks for this.
- Comment on How RCS on iPhone Will Make Texting Better for Everyone 1 month ago:
iMessage can also run over e-mail.
And RCS was designed by the GSMA which is effectively a bunch if telecommunications companies.
- Comment on How RCS on iPhone Will Make Texting Better for Everyone 1 month ago:
Well for one, iMessage runs over the internet and Apple isn’t a telecom company (Verizon, etc)
Either way, the TL;DR is that either there must be a backdoor or something else to allow law enforcement to access communications that run over telecom companies. This doesn’t apply when a user does it, but definitely when telecom companies design a messaging protocol.
