As you said, there used to be a gap there. Replacing a gap makes not that much harm and people find it useful even in Linux for keybindings. In more of an Alt kind of guy, but Super is also there for more combinations available.

The Copilot key appears to be going were the right Control or right Alt key are right now, so that’s going to be a bother for a lot of people.

and yet they are still loosing money by running ChayGPT 3.5 for free. I guess that in the future they’ll switch to a local small model in the hardware that is capable enough.

Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.

by “RSC” do you mean RCS? en.wikipedia.org/…/Rich_Communication_Services

[Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites? (lemmings.world)

Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....

isn’t the id unique? which means that sites can trace every visit you make and what videos you watch every time?

sir_reginald, (edited )
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

thanks! if implemented correctly, this is a decent way of verifying age. Although I’d rather not have any but it’s definitely better than taking a selfie.

My system is 7 years old, it wouldn’t be an appropriate comparison. Maybe others can help

there is no chance you would get back to the Intel system and plug it in every 2 hours.

don’t be irrealistic. most laptops in the Macbook price range will have 8 hours of usage in low consumption mode or around 6 or 5 if you need more power.

and at that price point they come with at least 32 GB of RAM which can be upgraded, swappable SSDs with more capacity than the macbook’s, far better keyboard and more ports.

the Macbooks do have some extra performance per battery usage? yeah I guess. But after 2 years that the battery life is gone, you’ll probably be buying the newer model or wishing that you bought a laptop with a replaceable battery.

being sincere I just searched for denuvo anticheat to see if it was called like that.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

I know that Resident Evil games come with Denuvo, for example.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

in the denuvo product page it is called anticheat by their creators

irdeto.com/denuvo/anti-cheat/

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

what about single player games? how does that anticheat benefit any user?

Librewolf but like... for chromium?

My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

Not all what is proprietary soft is crap

You’re wrong. For privacy, being proprietary is one of the biggest red flags.

nor all FOSS is the panacea

That’s absolutely true tho.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

Which search engine do you use? If FOSS, which engine do it use? VPN?

There’s a relevant difference here. If the proprietary software runs on the server side and everything on the client side it’s free software, that’s very different than running a proprietary web browser on your own machine.

So as long as my search engine does not execute proprietary JavaScript and I can connect to my VPN using the OpenVPN or Wireguard client, it’s okay.

Nonetheless, it’s of course very much preferable that the server side is free software too.

I don’t care if the proprietary software comes from a mega corp or a small startup. It’s still proprietary.

it’s more than enough for the very few sites not working in Librewolf.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

after a day of messing with it I just wanted to thank you again. I love the 1 FPS mode, it’s more than enough for me and it isn’t wasting resources. I don’t need to refresh my battery percentage or disk space more than once per second.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

This looks great. Just what I wanted. I hate i3-status resource consumption.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

you can keep your proprietary trash for yourself

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

I run GNU/Linux on a Corebooted laptop. That’s my main device and the one I normally use to access Lemmy.

And FYI, I don’t run any proprietary app on my phone which runs a free software build of Android. Everything is installed from F-Droid.

It’s true that it runs proprietary firmware, but there’s currently no way around it. Unlike Grayjay, which is proprietary just because their greedy creators didn’t want people forking their app.

Fortunately, Invidious, Piped, Libretube and Newpipe all exist and work flawlessly so there’s no excuse to use proprietary trash like that.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

you decide to draw the line at GrayJay just because it’s only source available?

I draw the line at the firmware level, yes, because sadly it’s insanely difficult to get a device that can be 100% free software. But from the OS level and up, everything that runs in my devices is free software. That of course includes apps. And Grayjay is no exception to that.

Source available or proprietary is the same to me, it restricts my freedoms as a computer user to not be able to freely modify and distribute my programs as I please.

Actually, I’d prefer for the Grayjay devs just to make it fully proprietary instead of falsely claiming it to be “open source” and using it as marketing. I have no problem with people using proprietary or source available programs. What bothers me are the misleading claims of the creator calling Grayjay open source, when clearly it is not.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

for OP. But there are multiple comments saying they are working normally.

I don’t use Piped a lot, but I can verify that Invidious and Newpipe are working as normal.

And even beyond that, because any distro that ships Wayland by default does so because it has XWayland as a backup, which is essentially running an X server inside Wayland.

How can I intercept this traffic quickly?

Assuming an Android app, this is the app that I use: www.f-droid.org/…/com.emanuelef.remote_capture/

If you’re building a program for desktop, Wireshark works great.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

Use Newpipe for Android. Best YouTube experience you can get.

sir_reginald,
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure there’s an import option. But I’ve never used it because I have no Google account.
