GrayJay also supports adding PeerTube instances:

Broken on Voyager as well.

Displays a High level warning about the domain from crowdsourced context:

Activity related to AGENTTESLA - according to source Cluster25 - 1 year ago

This DOMAIN is used by AGENTTESLA. AgentTesla is spyware designed in .Net to steal personal data, capture screenshots, and record clipboard and form values. It's marketed on its own website, falsely claimed to be a legitimate keylogger. Popular in the hacker community for its ease of use and tech support, it likely originated in Turkey.

What about EndeavorOS?

There's a petition going around now to try to "Save Subnautica".

It's at least worth a shot: https://www.change.org/p/save-subnautica

I've got a GameStop subscription which gives you a $5 a month coupon. I would almost always use it to pick up Pokemon cards. I haven't been able to find any cards for a number of months now and decided to ask an employee about it.

Apparently the cards are no longer being sent out in the volumes that they used to. Instead of getting weekly shipments, they might get a monthly shipment (not as many boxes) and it's a little random.

He mentioned that people would somehow find out that a shipment was on its way and wait overnight just to be able to buy them up in the morning.

Some employees are even being stalked just so that they can figure out when these shipments are coming.

Someone just got the AWS bill.

If you're in the U.S., the Institute for Justice does a ton of good work. They're a nonprofit that picks up cases to help out those who can't afford to do so. They've gotten a lot of cases all the way to the supreme court.

They're committed to challenging things like qualified immunity, or civil asset forfeiture. Things that really need to be taken on given what we see happening today.

On Windows you can open up a WSL shell or PowerShell session directly to the folder path you want.

Hold 'Shift' then right click anywhere inside of a directory and you will get an option to "Open PowerShell window here" as well as to "Open Linux shell here".

Considering other patent laws in Japan, I definitely agree with you.

Especially when companies like Nintendo are somehow able to patent video game mechanics for something as ridiculous as riding on a flying creature.

To anyone who is reading this comment without reading through the article. This ruling doesn't mean that it's okay to pirate for building a model. Anthropic will still need to go through trial for that:

But he rejected Anthropic's request to dismiss the case, ruling the firm would have to stand trial over its use of pirated copies to build its library of material.

Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

Out of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:

1. Belarus
2. Cuba
3. Iran
4. North Korea
5. Russian Federation
6. Syria
7. Viet Nam

Update: now there are 8... Japan was added to the list: https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/

However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren't actually locked out over there.

Announcement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:

Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the "Video" section.

Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can't afford to do so.

That's the one, looks like they switched names about a year ago?

GrayJay if you're on Android. Go to download, then select None for Video, and choose the audio quality at the bottom that you want.

There's a desktop application for GrayJay as well that should also support downloading it.

Here's an open letter to the Organic Maps Shareholders with the most info:
https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-04-16/1/

Which is referenced in the article here:
https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

And discussed on the OpenSource community here:
https://lemmy.world/post/30461779

Basically some drama went down between the devs.

• Organic Maps has remained an LLC instead of transitioning to a Nonprofit.
  • The projects finances have not been made public (they're not required as an LLC) and there are concerns about how that money is being used.
• There was a decision made to include Kayak affiliate links in the app: https://web.archive.org/web/20250602163403/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/6523
• The current board only consists of 3 people: Roman (@rtsisyk), Viktor (@vng), and Alexander (@biodranik). Major decisions can't be made if only 1 person objects.
• The code for their map download service was closed sourced when an MIT license was removed and there were concerns about Organic Maps keeping in line with its open source values: https://web.archive.org/web/20250523094656/https://github.com/orgs/organicmaps/discussions/9837#discussioncomment-11569196
  • When these concerns were raised, Alexander (@biodranik) revoked Roman's (@rtsisyk) access https://web.archive.org/web/20250427142515/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/9860
  • The situation was resolved about a week later with the code for the map download service becoming public and With Roman's access being restored.

Edit: 'to' the shareholders, not from

You could use Ruffle since its an emulator for Flash:

Websites like HomestarRunner use this so you can still experience the site as it was intended.

I mean, it really depends on how you define scam. If you're so loose with the definition that you would have considered No Man's Sky a "scam" when it first released, then I can understand that.

Otherwise it's not really a scam. There's a free trial going on right now in Star Citizen.You're free to check out the game for yourself. It's in a really good state compared to what we've previously seen (not even close to bug free, but way more playable than before).

Sure, larger businesses have more developers to get more work done. But there comes a time when throwing new developers at a problem convolutes the process and actually slows things down more than it helps.

Something that seems simple to you like a flashlight attachment may not be so simple under the hood.

Solo indie devs have an advantage because they're familiar with all of the code. They're the ones that wrote it.

They don't need to learn a new part of the code when making fixes or changes. They don't need to explain to another dev that "you don't change how this information is passed in here because you'll need it to look just like that in some other section that you'll never touch".

Additionally any decisions/changes/etc. are all decided by one person, no need for meetings to get everyone on board and explain exactly what you want to do. No need to try to get everyone to understand your vision for what you want to happen.

A famous comic might explain this process a little better:
