Aurix,

Hate the clickbait article naming. Downvoted.

Aurix,

Not quite correct. They didn’t start charging for API usage. They banned it and pretended it could be paid for with completely absurd prices nobody could reasonably afford.

Aurix,

Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be considered safe for critically important work. There are numerous bugs and half working implementations. Pull requests are greatly appreciated.

Not very reassuring.

Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN

So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using...

Aurix,

Soulseek is Peer To Peer like a torrent. You will likely run into legal trouble, if that program is monitored more heavily.

Aurix,

The new reddit icon looks like when kids draw on teeth for giggles.

Aurix,

What a horrible way to handle this. A bit like YouTube demonetization policies.

Aurix,

I would also like to add Windows Photo and Microsoft Paint. /s Please stop giving “alternatives” when these do not even closely match the featureset of a given application unless asked for advice.

Did deep sleep broke for anyone else recently or is it just me?

I was running KDE Neon on ThinkBook 15 G2 and had deep sleep working after adding mem_sleep_default=deep to GRUB_CMDLINE. It worked for a while until it didn’t. I didn’t do anything other than running regulat updates. Since couple weeks back, when going to sleep, it shows BIOS Recovery progress bar or something and restarts....

Aurix,

Yeah, my sleep schedule is pretty bad since the holiday… Oh, Oooooh.

Aurix,

LibreOffice wants to call with broken rendering on Windows, but the changelog mentions new tasty features. But FOSS can do it, Debian can. Those project managers should learn from their approach, whatever it is.

Aurix,

Firefox is a good browser and unfortunately the only fully independent one. But I also believe there might be a bigger Chromium development split happening. Nothing increases action and unites people like a monopoly pushing greed.

Aurix,

Fair point, they receive Google money. But its technological backend is not bound to Chromium.

Aurix,

Police in Germany absuses regularly databases to trsck and background check for personal or political purposes.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Aurix,

Rammstein is terrible. Clear cut allegations of systematic exploitation and lawyers who tried to silence big newspapers.

Aurix,

While it should have been opt-in it is not that dramatic. The server owner can see what is played anyways. And since the primary use case is a home and friends setup it is vastly different to a Netflix scale privacy break.

Aurix,

Since you can never now for sure how a company handles hashing, always assume the worst. You will fare better.

Aurix,

Would be very helpful to have that for Mastodon as well. Kind of like a survey which the admins can fill out. I for example have a big problem with the Fediverse’s general strong aversion against sexually explicit content. Voluntary NSFW photos of yourself are also an important part of free self expression and know a bunch personally who do that on other sites.

Just kicking it into the “but this isn’t pornhub” bucket is plain wrong.

Aurix,

This has to be a kink thing, one of the weirder ones. Holding a plug, not sweating, because it is not wished?

Else it is something illegal. Drug mule, crossing a border which would either make the drugs visible, or maybe another crime to not leave obvious DNA traces. No sweating to not look suspicious on control? Not much stuff to disguise the longer travel?

Aurix,

u/spez tries to paint it was just mods trying to be powertripping and not standing for the communities. This refutes the sentiment along with the reactions of /r/pics and the likely coming r/aww action.

Aurix,

We will see how it will turn out. This is the full context of the screenshot for those interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/14bvwe1/rsteam_and_reddits_new_policies/johwd3x/?context=10000

Aurix,

There is the nuance to it. The subscribers did not sign up for this initially. Therefore they will have to build a new community up which certainly won't have as many subscribers for a very long time and none of the post history.

At the same time posts actually asking about the Steam platform get downvoted heavily and thus dissuade further interaction.

Effectively the sub becomes useless, just the same as if it had stayed closed. It will drop in engagement in the long term.

The John Oliver memes attract more mainstream attention and clearly signal to investors the platform is not healthy, irrespective of the traffic it causes.

With more and more subreddits joining in on this, the All page gets flooded with shitposts annoying everyone. Those who stay certainly won't want to deal with this all the time and unsubscribe.

Of course group dynamics are unpredictable at times, but reddit is certainly more in turmoil than whatever traffic.

Aurix,

I didn't know the reference, it was to this: https://youtu.be/4jXEuIHY9ic

Is that so? Looks to me this moderator is in on it. Or which post do you refer to?
