Yeah fair, its just sad that we seem to be giving up with over a month left when this has been in the top 3 most popular initiatives this year.

Hopefully this video and the non-english sponsors he has been working on get more people talking again and hopefully talking in different languages to capture the people who have missed this because of a language barrier.

Don't give up hope just yet! Last month a ban on conversion practices got nearly 1 million signatures in the last week!

From an email I received from the ECI recently:

In a stunning final push, the initiative for a ‘Ban on Conversion Practices in the EU’ gathered nearly one million signatures in its final week - closing with over 1.24 million in total on 17 May.

https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify I haven't used it in a while but it worked perfectly when I did.

Soulseek is another great option

I don't have an Nvidia GPU so I don't have any experience with it but a quick search brought me to Nvidias website and the instructions seem to line up with users answers on other forums.

Disable it here https://docs.nvidia.com/ai-enterprise/deployment/vmware/latest/nouveau.html or apparently installing Nvidias proprietary drivers automatically blacklists Nouveau.

I had this issue: failed to finalise remaining DM devices. Which led me to here https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15004 and Skinner927 mentions your issue in that thread

I'd try uninstalling nouveau completely and see if the issue persists for you

I loved The Talos Principle! I haven't played the remake, I didn't realise they added new stuff I thought it was just updated graphics which didn't interest me.

The Talos Principle 2 was great, the puzzles were fantastic, some of the new concepts totally broke my brain for ages and had me trying the dumbest stuff because I was fully lost lol but it was so fun! I recommended the DLC too, I loved the Hexahedron in the Isle of the Blessed and I hope they do more puzzles like that in the future.

I just wish the world was smaller and there was less emphasis on the story, when it comes to puzzle games I just want to get to the puzzles asap I don't want to run back and forth across the world just to sit through cut scenes. I do kind of get why it was so big for the bonus stuff outside the main puzzles and also ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler

on my first playthrough, I did manage to finish the whole game without completing any puzzles, ::: which was pretty funny.

I've been playing Balatro for what feels like the last 84 years and I constantly rage quit and say I'm done with the game when I know my run is over then stare out the window for a minute and start the game again, its painfully addictive.

I've also been playing Angry Birds on the 3DS its so fun. I haven't played it since it first came out on mobile 15 years ago, I didn't realise how old it was! I've needed games like this for the past few weeks with life being so busy, they're so easy to pick up and then just pause whenever I need to.

Huh I thought the right were blaming gamers for taking benefits from single mothers, the elderly and disabled.

"No one has talked about cutting one benefit in Medicaid to anyone who's duly owed—what we've talked about is returning work requirements, so, for example, you don't have able-bodied young men on a program that's designed for single mothers and the elderly and disabled. They're draining resources from people,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

"So if you clean that up and shore it up, you save a lot of money, and you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing videogames all day."

Men aren't finding their home in the political right because of their love of videogames, they're being manipulated by companies like Cambridge Analytica and losers that complain about not having sex on their weirdo podcasts

The website uses google services while promoting a phone that advertises avoiding google services... And it seems to be completely broken for me on any android browser I use. Also his main website seems to use the Microsoft store logo for his store logo lol

720 display?, it doesn't say it has a removable battery? and can somehow promise years of software updates when they rely on third party custom ROMs for their software..

Also I don't know of any android phones that block replacing the battery?

The website says 6GB RAM and the indiegogo page says 8GB RAM

The hardware seems meh and the software is based on FOSS ROMs that support a wide variety of devices that actually exist. Ubuntu touch is advertised as Coming Soon™

The BraX3 phone offers the most privacy-friendly location service through the Lunar Network

Please anyone who can find the Lunar Network website, link it because right now to me it seems they're using a now defunct minecraft server for location services

I've got scammy vibes from this guy for years, even when I was new to privacy I never felt like he was reliable. Did he dub himself "the internet privacy guy" lol

Overall, I think the phone will probably come out at some point, it'll be kinda sucky from a hardware perspective for anyone who is used to mid range phones and the software could be fine or it could be buggy AF but I don't think it'll be anything special or offer anything unique enough from a privacy perspective to bother with.

I don't think he can guarantee software updates as he has no control over the ROMs he relies on and I would not expect any sort of support for bugs etc. I don't think he is knowledgeable enough to trust not to have privacy/security issues with the phone, especially when his whole shtick is "privacy"

It sucks that headphone jacks and sd cards are so hard to find in phones today but I'd prefer to use a dongle and external storage or self host and have a better refurbished phone running LineageOS or any other degoogled ROM than trust this guy.

“Plaintiffs do not plead a single instance in which any part of any book was, in fact, downloaded by a third party from Meta via torrent, much less that Plaintiffs’ books were somehow distributed by Meta,” the company writes.

Another reason to hate Meta, now they're scummy leechers even though they could afford the bandwidth to seed back

Yeah, mkv can handle VOBSUB. I just prefer text based like srt or ass since you can edit the subtitles to get better timings or changing font/ colour or fix spellings really easily. I also find the VOBSUB a bit blurry around the edges of the text.

If you're happy with the VOBSUB, then the last bit of code above will merge them with the mkv file and they should be automatically on when using vlc.

Thanks for the links, I was thinking about how outdated vobsub2srt was and definitely want to try these instead!

EDIT: https://github.com/gwen-lg/subtile-ocr is better than https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT Subtitle-ocr had no issue with recognising "I" as "I" while vobsub2srt constantly sees "I" as "|" and blacklisting "|" causes "I" to be recognised as "]" and blacklisting "|" "[" and "]" just leaves a blank space so thanks for the recommendation! I'll be using that to convert VOBSUB to srt instead

    
for f in ./*.idx; do
    subtile-ocr -l ger -o "${f%.*}.srt" "$f"; done

  

And then https://mkvtoolnix.download/ to remove any unwanted subtitles from the mkv files

    
for f in ./*.mkv; do
    outdir="nosubs"
    mkvmerge -o "${outdir}/$f" --no-subtitles "$f"; done


  

Finally, I merge the srt files with the mkv files

    
for f in ./nosubs/*.mkv; do
    outdir=addedsubs
    g="${f##*/}"
    mkvmerge -o "${outdir}/$g" "$f" --language 0:ger --track-name 0:German "${g%.*}".srt; done

  

Once the files in the addedsubs directory look good, I delete all of the other files. You can add it all to a bash file or make an alias or both and run it wherever

Yep, thats the blogpost from the owner of haveibeenpwnd regarding the email OP received.

OP, it seems like you have or had malware on one or more of your devices that has been logging all of your credentials to any services you signed into on the infected devices with the email address provided in the screenshot you shared.

we're talking about the logs created by malware running on infected machines. You know that game cheat you downloaded? Or that crack for the pirated software product? Or the video of your colleague doing something that sounded crazy but you thought you'd better download and run that executable program showing it just to be sure? That's just a few different ways you end up with malware on your machine that then watches what you're doing and logs it.

These logs all came from the same person and each time the poor bloke visited a website and logged in, the malware snared the URL, his email address and his password.

I would suggest running a malware scan on devices you use to log in with that email.

On a secure device, you should change the passwords for each service that you use that email with.

If 2FA is already enabled on any of these accounts, then it should be safe and I would ensure the device is not infected before changing the passwords or else the passwords will be stolen again when you sign in on the infected device.

It is likely any other accounts that were signed into on the infected device have had their credentials stolen too, you may not have those email addresses set up to receive this notification. Also you should notify anyone else who has used the infected device that their credentials were likely stolen too.

You can check if other emails have been comprised using https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and you can also check if passwords have been comprised there too.

I use https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next You can check if your device is supported https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/wiki/Supported-Hardware here

Select your device -> select the button -> binding -> keyboard -> Miscellaneous -> Page Up or Page Down -> Apply

I used the links in https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page to get the latest builds

Lol I spent a week going back and forth with Revolut support in august. I could sign into the app but it would always ask me for a "selfie" verification and every time support would say its a super dark selfie.

Eventually I decided to try a stock ROM and it just worked and I realised what was happening so I transferred all of my money out and deleted my account.

Most local banks here are terrible at making apps, some even require a separate device that looks like a calculator to use online banking, so hopefully they wont follow suit anytime soon

Thank you! I've been hesitant to install a whole bunch of extensions but vitals and astra monitor look great, I'm going to try them out this week and see which I prefer.

I've been avoiding flathub, it just doesn't seem like my cup of tea but I may have to reconsider and take a proper look at it because it sounds better than a browser extension ngl

I was just so surprised that a terminal that supports tabs doesn't have generic tab switching, at least I know I'm not crazy now for not enjoying Gnome terminal lol

I promise the giant cursor is a useful feature even though so many people have thought it was a weird bug lol I constantly do it when I'm trying to figure out how to word an email and on the very rare occasion where I can't find my cursor it has actually been helful!

I'm pretty biased since I have been using KDE for a few years and only switched to Gnome this week to properly try it out so maybe I'll change my mind but I doubt I will.

IMO KDE has better theming and is more uniform across a wider variety of apps. It has support for community themes out of the box and it feels like the components are modular so you can have a different colour title bar compared to the app window etc

• Dolphin > Nautilus
• Kate > Gedit
• Konsole > Terminal

These are the 3 main default apps I use on both DEs. Dolphin has way more customisability and looks better but Nautilus has a fantastic multi-file rename with the option for find and replace built in.

For me, Kate is like the vlc of documents. It will open anything and everything whereas I've had a couple of "could not open" errors from gedit this week. I also prefer Kate to Vscode.

Konsole by default switches tabs with ctrl tab but Terminal doesn't and thats basically my only issue with it.

Gnome seems to still require you to install a browser extension to use Shell Extensions.

KDE widgets are fantastic, I love having system monitors in a hidden panel at the top of my screen so I can really easily check system resource usage. I haven't found anything similar on Gnome yet.

KDE Connect is such a brilliant app, it wouldn't launch for me on Gnome but there is GSConnect for Gnome but its a 3rd party app

By default on KDE, if you shake your mouse the cursor gets bigger and there doesn't seem to be a size limit which is so fun to do lol

Going from Plasma 5 to 6 was a nightmare for me but its probably because I was using EndeavourOS so the updates were sooner and more frequent.

Overall I think Gnome looks and feels a bit outdated and clunky and KDE looks and feels more modern with better integration across apps but that might just be QT vs GTK

I do plan on continuing to use Gnome for at least another 2 months to give it a fair try but I will almost always recommended KDE because I prefer the look and feel

I swear this is an old photo from at least a few months ago. I remember people joking about the caravan and boat being so extravagant

I wrote step by step instructions for installing windows repacks on linux using Lutris. https://sopuli.xyz/comment/9858101

I install FG Dodi and Gnarly repacks and ElAmigos updates this way. I have only had weird bugs with ~5 that would only unpack in a Windows VM and 2 that needed native Windows (BG3 and Until Dawn) but tbh I have a feeling its an AMD issue not a wine issue
