• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s plan: Stall, cheat, repeat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Last time I thought you could install Asahi on current Macs unless Apple started blocking that and I didn’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Channel Directory - Discover new content!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  peertube.wtf and lemmy.wtf are both down right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨StopKillingGames - Yet another reminder for European citizens to fight for software ownership before the timer runs out. A signature takes mere minutes and preserves many games and lots of fun.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t sign it because I’m in the US… unfortunately… but it’s in Overdrive right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the US is now ran by the New Fuhrer? I could see that happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s upheld, that’s the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone ‘accused’ of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And how long before that applies to citizens too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Tech-Backed Influencer Wants to Replace Teachers With AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly what Google is trying to do on YT with Veo 3 and the ‘AI slop’ button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck breaking down people’s doors for scanning their own physical books when analog media has no DRM and can’t phone home, and paper books are an analog medium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV Is Spying On You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still gonna need a large screen somehow unless you watch all your stuff at the desk or through a laptop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too bad this probably still won’t drive people to other platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV Is Spying On You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine ain’t, I’m using an ancient dumb TV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t host anything, they’re just an alternate front-end that lets you download stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Workaround got released, that same issue just updated itself to indicate that. Still shitty of Google to be going full Reddit like this though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  YT’s blocked on it, at least on my end. Fuck you, Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patreon plans to consolidate its Pro and Premium plans starting August 5, taking a 10% commission, rather than the current 8% for Pro and 12% for Premium users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Liberapay is looking pretty good right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One more reason to be glad I ditched that hellpit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but Plex can. I’d migrate to Jellyfin if you can as Plex is paywalling more of their services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But if you have problems with open source, you gotta go get a computer person

  • Not necessarily, most commercial enterprise Linux distros sell support contracts, for example, RHEL and SUSE being the two most famous examples of that.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Slope’s Game Room is about to lose his channel over ‘hate speech’ that isn’t even his.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How long before Google locks YT down only to Chrome on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, or Android with DRM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still wouldn’t trust Google not to nuke my channel on a whim even in spite of those relaxed moderation rules? What’s stopping a little bribe from the right company from causing them to backpedal or even tighten their grip further?

  This is why one should at least mirror their content to PeerTube or a similar alternative platform like that if they’re not going to just outright post future content to said alternative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been dailying Linux for over a decade at this point so you don’t need to convince me, and I’ll just spin up a Windows VM for things aren’t picky about baremetal OS installs, but also don’t play nice with WINE.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not going to help when you have a monopoly over the user-generated content field like YT and by extension Google basically does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only Freetube is being actively attacked by Google and Invidious is basically dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in the traditional sense anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vo-techs at least kinda have to be based on the types of things they tend to teach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even know that was a thing. Cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or even actually show what they learned in a practical sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And virt-manager is pretty solid for hobbyist tinkering too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why KVM is a good option, or even Hyper-V for Windows hosts.
