  Right now in Rimworld I am sending child soldiers to bring more ammo to the mortars that are busy pounding away at some primitive tribesmen that are angry at me for dumping a few tons of toxic waste on their home or something.

  Those that survive the mortar bombardment will be lobotomised and enslaved. If they have enough limbs remaining to be useful to me I will probably use a few of them as slaves and the rest will be sold to the empire. Any that the empire don’t want will be harvested for organs and dumped in a corpse pit.

  I didn’t ask if the tribesmen consented to any of this.

  And the Linux foundation will just sit by letting it happen? Or Valve for that matter, they appear to have anticipated this risk over a decade ago.

  It was only £15 though, all apps I installed on it beyond the default ones are through f-droid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully both companies lose a load in legal fees and we get better stuff

  I just don’t buy android anymore. It sucks. Apple you always sucked too. Annoyingly society kinda requires me to have a phone so I will just get what ever someone else is throwing away or is very cheap second hand.

  Reject their devices is the only real choice you can make. Don’t give them money.

  But if it doesn’t run Linux I am not going to buy it

  Here is your reminder that Labour supported it.

  The Uk said the OSA is to protect children. But people lie.

  The UK government can shove it up their fucking arse.f

  I just don’t really value email accounts much. I have several and only rarely check them.

  And then they make it illegal to protect the terrorists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, more than I expected actually. None in my town but one in a nearby town and the nearest city.

  Is there a limit to how far can you communicate through multiple nodes? Also is there anything special for setting up a repeater compared to just communicating on the network?

  Though i don’t know anyone else that would be likely to use something like this sadly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  SMS style communication?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not used either of these things. I use my Linux desktop to buy stuff, phone UX is not very good when trying to search products and reviews.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see why they need to force it on the rest of us though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it going to get to a point we are better off self hosting and having offline copies that we share instead?

  There is a lot more to it than just age verification for porn too. I do wonder what this will look like after several months and if they will push it or if the law just gets ignored in the end.

  Big companies can follow the vast regulations while small ones are pushed out.

  Maybe it’s too tinfoil hat but I worry they will push for a whitelisted internet at some point.

  Quite a few have suggested the OSA is intended to further centralise the internet. Looking at the impact so far and they are not wrong…

  Doesn’t that sort of thing take quite a bit of time though? And they need to find out about it too.

  It’s also several hundred pages long. Fair few web forums are closing because of it if they are UK hosted too.

  It would be interesting to get a legal opinion on what about it actually impacts lemmy instances tbh. Obviously one option is to go “lol fuck off” if the UK complain and you are not in the UK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA on privuhcy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually just do it because shorter links look better than 30 lines of crap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The OSA was brought in by the tories. Labour agree with it as well. Both of them are authoritarian bastards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, doesn’t that take a while to roll out across ISPs though? So we can jump from instance to instance if necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat > Chat every time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess another option is to use AI to generate the responses in bulk ahead of time and then save it in a file for PHP to load, cheaper web hosting as it doesn’t need to start running AI models on the fly.

  Shame I am behind nat444 which as far as I can tell makes hosting stuff a pain, some configurations of VPN should also work for it but its extra effort I just can’t be bothered with to deploy CatSeek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat > Chat every time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t this just be a very simple bash script and a large selection of ASCII cats?
