- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 12 hours ago:
Oh, that’s weird, you’d think there’d be a way to tell whatever is on air to download a specific tag. Or like one that downloads the other indirectly. I haven’t looked into pkgbuild or aur.

Having read a lot of the thread it sounds like that’s sort of what’s going on with the version on the AUR. Sounds like it is the old GPL v3 version and the dev doesn’t wanna put the new CC BY-NC-ND version on the AUR themselves because they don’t want to make an account there (understandable, not saying they should have to).
The whole situation is sort of sad, but ultimately devs working on free (as in money, I now -ND is not libre) software need to do what they need to do to remain sane. If it’s a CC BY-NC-ND emulator without Linux support versus no emulator at all I think we’d all want the first.
I hope this thread can be an eye opener for folks to remember to treat volunteer devs with respect. (Not implying anyone here was part of the problem.)
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 21 hours ago:
The average person probably couldn’t figure it out because they don’t care to. If you tell someone "Make a Lemmy account"ntheyll be confused. If you tell someone "Make an account at lemmy.world" they’ll figure it out. It’s like if you give someone a puzzle but it’s boring and they don’t care to solve it, they’re probably not gonna take the time to solve it.

I submitted a PR and bug report for something I was using recently to better help arch users install it in the future. I encourage other folks to do that. If you ever have trouble installing something, just submit a little PR with tweaks to the README that would’ve helped you. Oftentimes they’ll accept them. It benefits everyone.

~11 months ago they relicensed from GPL 3 to CC BY-NC-ND.

It’s not an open source license. Even CC warns against it because it isn’t a free media license.

Make a fork that supports Linux as satire since the whole situation is so crazy.

Yes, but typically not for free.

One of my friends is just so opposed to using anything else other than Meta Messenger and SMS. He says he doesn’t want app bloat. I get it, but I’d also like to not have corporations spying on our chats. 🙄

As someone who has toyed with using one to get around my state’s porn ban a little, sometimes it just routes me other states with porn bans. So it’s not necessarily a magic fix. It’s better than nothing but if everyone starts banning something you will have trouble.
- Comment on YSK: This recent war on adult content was mostly started by a single law in 2018, pushed by a few evangelical groups pretending to fight sexual exploitation 2 days ago:
The funniest thing is hopping on a VPN to avoid porn bans and the state the VPN is in also has a porn ban.

I love it too, I really enjoyed the 7 levels of concerning audio surveillance (or whatever it was called) as well. First vid I saw from them.

Guy on the left doesn’t look “unhealthy” though. I get your point though.

Good faith discussion.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 4 days ago:
My sanity is more important. I can’t do anything about current events if I’m not sane. I take breaks as needed.

Where? And don’t tell me to look up or read again because I recounted the conversation as I understood it already and went over with you that you’re not being clear, ai if you’re acting in good faith tell me where?
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 days ago:
I did and I’m asking for clarification.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 days ago:
This was your explanation.
Well im talking about external interpretation of ones identity rather than one’s intended expression, so you figure it out. Or don’t.
I’m good faith, I assumed the best by saying this.
I’d say that’s supportive of femme leaning enbies rather than transphobic towards trans women.
Rather than agree with me, you said this and refused to elaborate, going so far as to tell me to interpret as I like. When I only have two possible interpretations, one positive and one negative, I don’t know what else you’d want me take away other than the negative.
There are other things it could be. Interperet as you like.
So I clarified, in good faith, it you meant the negative thing.
Wait, so you are being transphobic?
You were vague and refused to give any explanation. I thought it might be two things. When I asked if it was one of them, your response seems to heavily imply it wasn’t that one, but refuse to give whatever third thing it might be.
That was one of the things you proposed. Im suggesting there are other potential meanings, that you did not propose. i will not be explaining what i do mean any farther than i have
So… What is it? Because you’re saying that I am “not making an effort to understand” when I am in fact bending over backwards to give you benefit of the doubt and understand what you mean. You say communication has two sides and you’re done trying to uphold mine when I am desperately seeking clarification on what you said but you just refuse to provide it.
I’m just about done with this fucking place and im done going out of my way to explain myself to people who arent making any effort to understand. Communication has two sides, i cannot hold up yours

Criminal negligence.

Well said.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 4 days ago:
I’ll keep streaming and just eat less popcorn. I’ve been needing to cut back. I blow a kiss to the sky. I got your back, Mother Earth. I always check the resin identification codes before I recycle plastics, too.

It’s so so frustrating. AI is cool, I get it, LLMs are impressive, but we’re in such a bubble right now. Every company is like “damn, that other company is doing a cool thing with AI, we need to make sure our shareholders think we’re doing cool things with AI too!” So they make flashy AI things and it feeds back into the cycle because obviously other companies and their shareholders see it, because these companies are publicly traded.

The devices they’re talking about are also still turned on. The power usage of the network requests is incredibly small. Switching from cellular to wifi will make the biggest difference, but who the hell isn’t already on their home wifi network? Plus, at least me personally, I have my liked songs downloaded on Spotify to save data usage. I suspect others may as well.
This is like the folks worrying about the water usage of AI. Environmental concerns are a real problem and there are tons of things to focus on, but they pick such a weirdly specific, negligible, non-issue.

Ads don’t have audio? That’s news to me.

No need to be condescending. The current laws about hacking in America are actually much more strict than they should be and can be used to punish people who actually do just stumble on things they shouldn’t have access to as well as people who are ethical whistle blowers. So no, it seems you don’t “how laws work.”
But I don’t believe those laws should be used to go after people who make mistakes or report problems in good faith. These folks didn’t make an innocent mistake and weren’t acting in good faith.

This is what I meant by the “non shortened” ones. If you’re using it through the app you can only press share to get the link and that’s how it comes when you press share. (Or if you press share on the website instead of copying the URL from the address bar.)

Same in America. Someone who found a government website had SSNs just sitting in the HTML was almost prosecuted for viewing the raw HTML after ethically disclosing it.

Not everything after the
?can be removed. Obvious and well known example, YouTube videos use the video as part of the query parameters (on non shortened URLs). youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 4 days ago:
I don’t think it’s necessarily part of a larger trend, but it could be. I think it’s just in reaction to some of the specific posts being shared.
