I don't fully agree with you, we don't have enough details. From what i've read mom could have been abusive towards dad (at least emotionally), and that makes doing everything in the open pretty scary. I'd forgive someone who cheated to get out of an abusive situation.

it was kbin, the first one i registered on because it played nicely mastodon too, and i thought it would be nice to have less tabs permanently open.

now i have accounts on mastodon, dbzer0's lemmy, piefed, pixelfed and even friendica goddamnit it's like collecting pokemon

Librewolf, although i tested zen browser for a while and since then i am running a vertical tab bar - it made me realize that this way the screen space is used much better! Had the same lag issues with zen, but i'll keep it installed and will check it out again later, because stuff like the sneak peek is great!

The top Youtube comment by Ridley Combs explains it pretty well:

FFmpeg maintainer here, and the details behind the caption decoding issues you're seeing in VLC are complex and horrific. They largely stem from how the EIA-608 caption format expects text to be laid out in a monospace grid onscreen, which isn't really how the text rendering stacks used for modern subtitling work (this is probably why changing the font caused problems on those Sony players); beyond that, the behavior can just end up pretty complex, and there's no convenient public-domain corpus of sample files for open-source software developers to test against. These kinds of issues also affect the Japanese (ARIB) and European (Teletext) formats to varying extents. These days, a lot of the focus ends up being on converting the text into modern Unicode text formats, styled using modern techniques, so direct rendering of the legacy formats hasn't had as much attention lately.

if you game a lot, you can also take a look into nobara, which comes with a lot of gaming stuff out of the box, like nvidia drivers, steam, discord and so on. it's based on fedora, the differences in operating it are minimal :-)

anonymity is not the issue when you have people posting fascist shit using their real name without consequences.

the latest beta update for the steam deck offers an new option to limit charging to 80/85/90% btw!

those guides are great - had to swap out my display because i cracked it, was done in under 1 hour. the repairability of this thing is insane

no, but every other international student there, including people who are not so well off.

I am sure that MS is very concerned. If i take my usecase, the things that held me on windows from dos5/Win3.1 up to Windows10 were gaming and that i grew up with it. I sometimes dabbled in linux, but since there was no meaningful way to use my game library, i switched back, because even dualbooting made no sense (what for? just so i can boot back after browsing a few web pages?)

This time after 3 days i deleted my windows partition, even while i was still fighting a bit with the Wayland/NVidia combo - that was shortly after the explicit sync drivers were available.

The young'ins want to play their games, and now they can without ever coming into contact with microsoft at all if not for the anticheat-outliers (who knows, maybe there's some money flowing that stops them from activating linux support? i know most anticheat in theory does work under linux). And if they start playing on Linux, there's no reason for them to switch over to Windows at all.

try finger but edge

(my android phones don't have buttons and haven't for years)

Sorry to break this to you, but the people writing bots can also get over this barrier very easily - see that link to the faceswap in this thread? That makes it possible for every person with a bit of tech understanding or at least a bit of persistence to ignore this. it's not even a speed bump for people whose job (yes, job) it is to write bots.

This does nothing to make the bots go away, but it gives Meta a full facescan, which is the fucking last thing to hand over to anyone - a data breach at Meta would mean that everyone around you will get scammed by videocallers with your face; not even your bank manager would be able to detect that something is off if he knows you personally (a short phone call with you to get a voice snippet makes the illusion perfect!)

The political shenanigans in the US are also a reason to NOT give facescans out to anyone.

The solution to bots does not lie in giving up your anonymity. There are no shortcuts here that don't do more harm than good.

If they could make them small / sensitive enough to make them subdermal, without the risky brainsurgery, that would be an absolute gamechanger and would increase acceptance by a lot. if the process would be like getting a few piercings under local anesthesia, it would make servicing the hardware much less of a life and death decision, and i wouldn't mind getting something like that - especially if it's on the hackability scale of a steam deck lol

I'm shedding tears for all the people who are working hard on their education who lose so much because of the tantrum of a manchild.

I've set up my SO with adfree alternative clients for Youtube 3 times now, and she always defaults back to the adinfested youtube app - and she's at least a competent user. i cannot wrap my head around it, but it's her time and attention she's wasting, not mine.

hardcode all the ip's!

Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn't written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS

It's also expensive and very shortlived, so it has at least that going for it. Source: found out my passport had expired 24 hours before boarding a flight; Also, austrian temp passports are also white

especially in the context of foodstuffs the decagramm (or just deka in common language) is getting used in Austria, don't know if it's the same in germany, so it would be a 25 deka burger

At my last workspace listening in on the call recordings (which were binding agreements with clients) was only allowed with the employee giving the ok and no way to force it, with a strong union support preventing retaliation against employees.

Since they were very open about this, it wasn't needed often - mostly when clients made complaints differing from what was logged by the employee.
