And just like that, Nintendo have guaranteed to never get a dime of my money again 🏴‍☠️

What a greedy corpo. I'll be waiting on the MVG video covering all the legal details whenever that drops

If you're set to log in automatically, most distros will ask you for a wallet password when you log in, since it is used to unlock some encrypted storage that some apps store your user data inside.

The wallet would otherwise be unlocked when you enter your password in the greeter

That's pretty unfortunate for the blog author, can imagine making that kind of mistake early in the morning will really wake you up.

The blog doesn't mention specifically whether the author had uploaded using a Lemmy app or the webui AFAICT - if he used an app, there are some that actually store the auth/delete token returned by image uploads, and provide a section within the app where you can manage/delete (purge) images you've previously uploaded to Lemmy

No idea what this is, but it's crashing my Lemmy client 🤷‍♂️

As othera have suggested, it could be depression, a decline in mental health, or maybe feelings of betrayal

I'm not planning to move anywhere tbh.

Mozilla is almost 100% financially dependent on Google right now, if that funding goes away then so will Firefox, the Gecko engine, and likely all the forks. With all the layoffs happening in the industry, we can't rule out Google shareholders looking elsewhere to cut costs too, such as the massive subsidization of Mozilla. The little we can do is allow Mozilla to find other sources of funding that are optional for users IMO

Yes, stuff like pocket is garbage. But at least Mozilla allow you to turn it off, which is more than can be said for Google: on Android devices manufacturers have to pay a hefty "fee" just to allow users to remove the Google search bar from the launcher. As a user you can get around this by installing a custom launcher, but as a manufacturer, you will not get Google certification: no SafetyNet (Play Integrity DRM, required by Banking apps), no Widevine, and Google will block GMS & their other apps on your product.

Regarding AI, mozilla's memorycache is completely local (runs on the user's machine) and does not call out to any servers. The new translation feature is the same. The only exception to this that I'm aware of is the AI helper on MDN, but the target audience of that site is already in a position to determine whether that is a useful feature or not.

On older Android devices vulnerable to Stagefright, malicious code will auto-run as soon as the MMS picture preview is loaded by the system notification shade, if I'm not mistaken

Was always possible to compile+run C# on Linux using the Mono project. Until Microsoft "bought them out" and created .NET Core, a cross platform version of .NET that MS now encourages people to use instead...

Microsoft's new linux compile tools rub me the wrong way slightly, with the telemetry that's opt-in by default.

Mono is still extremely valuable for older .NET Framework apps under WINE though, way easier to setup compared to the official installers from what i've experienced.

No idea how compiled C# compares to C...

About 150w total, trying to bring it down since electricity here is pretty expensive.

4 machines: two 4th gen i5, one 6th gen Nuc (Have two more but not set them up yet), and one HP thin client. Also two UPSes, and 3 cameras (previously four, but one was accidentally damaged).

Hosting Home Assistant, Zabbix, Palworld, SMB, Transmission, Plex and a bunch of other misc stuff.

Kind of contemplating moving everything to a 10th gen Nuc, but thinking a Ryzen based mini pc might be a better option

The more recent ones I've seen are pretty funny. It's usually two people with a relay kit: one carrying a massive flexible loop antenna, posing like a starfish walking around the front of the property, and the other beside the vehicle with a wireless keyfob emulator.

Sadly not so funny for the car owners though, AFAIK the vehicles usually end up being broken down into parts. In Canada it's a little different, they seem to be immediately driven to a port and loaded onto a ship for export.

I don't believe this is possible on older cars though, just ones with keyless start. Except if you have a US-spec Kia... where you literally just rip out the lock cylinder and use a USB cable to turn the engine start switch, although I believe they've fitted immobilizers to those now

They struck gold in the most horrible way possible: People dependent on their cars + their car keeps getting stolen = infinite money printing machine

Relay attacks don't need the key to be in close proximity, they can be read from almost anywhere in the house if they aren't in a faraday pouch or microwave. Have you seen the size of the antennas these attacks use?

I've seen some some other projects that scrape Spotify instead to get their curated playlists, then use Piped & Invidious instances to identify and stream the track file from YouTube

Would be a shame if a little "OVH incident" happened inside the servers hosting Piracy Shield.

Great job blocking your own schools and remote learning systems too, definitely setting a good example of what piracy prevention is all about.

(/s if it wasn't painfully obvious)

As you mentioned yourself: Filter it out + block users and communities you don't like. It's usually the same users posting anyway.

People will still want to talk about stuff that you don't care to know or see, and as long as it's within the rules of the instance there's nothing really wrong with it IMO

Forcing all users to share your view of the fediverse for 168 hours would likely be a major cause of annoyance, and stretch our volunteer moderators out pretty thin...

Probably exploited labor, similar to those who have no choice but to work in scam call centers to survive.

Pretty unfortunate that things are like this IMO

Might be worth reposting to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

I'm not sure if it's on topic for this community though, since mostly tech journalism articles are posted here

Soundtrack started playing in my head as soon as I saw that picture 😂 miss playing this on my old Trinitron.

Favourite game on PS2, hands down

That reminded me about those long, unskippable previews on DVDs... extremely annoying. VLC at least could skip straight to the disc menu though, pretty much ditched Windows Media Player and PowerDVD after that.

Now here I am on the high seas, with all my media consumption devices running some flavor of Linux. Have not had a single annoyance since.

AFAIK their original mission was along the lines of making computers accessible at a low price point, particularly targeting the education sector in parts of the world where computers weren't very accessible or affordable. Comparable to the OLPC, but not on an individual basis

I could be wrong though
