Yes. Spotify blocks my account if I’m using VPN, ChatGPT asks to solve ridiculous captchas (on a paid account!). It’s crazy. Reddit blocks access if you’re on the VPN and not logged in.
I don’t understand this fetish. Every day I read about problems people have with Wayland, while I’ve been using X for the past 15 years without any issues.
If that was true, we would be on Wayland for years. But in reality, it proves minor improvements versus heavy investments to migrate from X. And that’s why it’s still a fetish and not a standard.
That’s an improvement. But risk = impact * probability. Realistically, the probability of installing such an app from repos is virtually non-existent. My point is that Wayland comes with some improvements, but I’ve been seeing comments like the one I replied to for almost 15 years, as if Wayland will revolutionize Linux desktop. It won’t. Probably most users won’t see any difference, except for bugs caused by the migration.
To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...
So I like this MacOS feature where your cursor displays in large. I was hoping if anyone knew of such software that replicates this functionality for Linux. Considering MacOS and Linux are both Unix, and libraries are different, could X or Wayland help replicate this?...
But that was never the subject of the discussion. The USSR, and the Russian Empire before it, did successfully conquer Eastern Europe. That’s a historical fact. Whether you agree that this conquest made that land rightfully theirs is another topic, in which I have no interest.
Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub).

Turns out when you trap people in a hellhole, they start to resent the people who put them there, and laud the people who seem to be trying to change that shitty status quo.
Given that Hamas is one of the key reasons why this place is a hellhole, these words don’t explain why the support for Hamas is allegedly raising.
If it was just for game OSTs and other less common music. Over time I noticed that my playlists on streaming services start losing songs, mainstream music. Sometimes this is because an artist leaves one label for another, but sometimes I have no explanation. And I don’t even notice that until “hey, I haven’t heard that song in years… wait, where is it? where are these albums??” It’s frustrating. This pushed me to pirate music again.

This doesn’t sound reasonable. Why can’t you keep using existing apps? Are they underdeveloped and you’re waiting for some features? If so, it’d be helpful to see what these features are in order to suggest a suitable replacement.
Curiosity pushed me to try Linux roughly 15 years ago. Today it’s simply the best option for me. But I approach it as a user, I don’t posses any deep knowledge about how it works.

Imagine you have lots of toys, like your favorite games and cool apps on your tablet or phone. If you had to update them manually, it’s like having to go to each toy, take it apart, fix anything that’s broken, and then put it back together every time there’s a new version or improvement.
Now, think about having a special toy store for your toys. When you go to the store, they already know about any new cool features or fixes for your toys. All you have to do is ask the store to update your toys, and they make sure all your toys get the latest and greatest stuff without you having to do anything.
So, having a store for apps is like having a magical place where all your toys can be fixed and improved automatically, without you having to do the hard work of updating each one by yourself. It saves you time and makes sure your toys are always the best they can be!
I emotionally understand this idealistic view. But you can’t exclude yourself from the economy and exclude yourself from professional collaboration of any kind by switching from Photoshop to GIMP.
Why are there supported tags? Why can’t #AnyTag be parsed by the bot? I don’t expect many people to make the effort to check which tags are allowed.
Why should a Lemmy user care about this? It appears there is no integration with Lemmy beyond parsing. For instance, you can’t quickly filter by tags from the sidebar.
I suppose it’s still useful since the #piracy tag is added automatically. However, the overall idea feels rather raw.
I can’t bother joining a private tracker. Of course, they might be useful for niche content. For instance, 15 years ago there was a special tracker, where people shared races of virtually all racing series. But mainstream stuff is available on public trackers.
There one tracker where I download lossless music. But anyone can join it, I guess you could define it as semi-private or semi-public.
The interface is in Russian, but it’s not that hard to translate a couple of words to navigate. Apparently, you don’t even have to be registered to download anymore.
What qbittorent + vpn docker image do you use?
docker compose is appreciated
It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service
or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life....

Do you prefer private or public trackers?
As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites....
