The only thing I know about apparmour is that it breaks some permissions for a couple of my machines, and I have to disable them in the container config in order for the containers to boot

Sorry Ada – I was referring to myself! I originally lived on blåhaj but was banned for promoting violence against bigots and generally making hate-fuelled comments. It was not okay to be so extreme.

Why thank you aha! I never remember which a it goes above - I’m not too good with Swedish aha~

We see where you’re coming from, and also it is unhealthy to be extremely sensitive to every single hint of bigotry, from malicious or innocent sources, from your instance or others’. Take it from me - it destroys you to focus on the negative so much that you start to miss the positive.

I know you put so much effort into taking care of others, particularly transfolk (who don’t get themselves kicked out, like I did 😉) on blåhaj.zone. Remember to care for yourself also!

Edited the ° 😅

It’s a huge step in the right direction when a seller offers Linux preinstalled. Maybe the EU regulators can go after Microsoft, citing “anticompetitive actions”, for ensuring every manufacturer include Windows OS. That’ll open the gate for forcing options for the consumer

AI be making the prices Apple puts on RAM and SSD upgrades look reasonable

And Windows 10 Pro has more steps than Linux Mint. The argument has been moot for a while, but some folk need a little encouragement to unlearn what’s been parroted for decades.

I use Adguard Home and my browser has uBlock Origin and I can read it just fine, but I suspect it’s a regional thing. Some countries may allow blocking because of an adblocker whereas some don’t. Most of my country’s news outlets now say “accept ads and cookies or reject and pay money”, and they’re starting to be able to block the reading mode workaround.

Looking at printers is how I got into tech maintenance

I usually detest exclusive releases, as it feels anticonsumer to make people use a console/UI that they don’t like in order to have a chance of buying/playing a game they might like, but I’ve recently thought about a good copiumcoded excuse for it: Exclusives incentivise me to not keep all my games with one supplier, so when one corporation inevitably crosses a moral line that I cannot accept, I don’t have to sacrifice all my purchased games licences.

That and I honestly believe that owning games developed initially for x platform, on that platform, usually results in the best experience. Usually.

I am very lucky to have gotten a cheap apartment by town, and it gets cheaper by comparison way faster than it gets rent increases. The market average is about £400 higher now

Welcome to the club! It looks like the other recommended solutions have a UI for browsing as well, which is cool. As it is my ytdl-sub feeds into a library for Emby so I personally don’t need another UI, but it is tempting. Only issue I could see is the same one I had to fix: Some videos only had AV1 available, and support for AV1 encoding only begins at the very recent Intel Core Ultra and AMD 7040 CPUs. Without those even 720p playback is laggy af… I have an RTX 3060 at my disposal for HW transcoding but who knows if those YouTube archiver/players support it

Edit: Just did some research, it seems that the other services don’t have support for HW transcoding or multiple users. And they are much more resource-intensive than ytdl-sub + Emby

Ah, Google translated it as parrot for me, before I saw the description

Nope, it’s yet another fucking article on social media comments, which in turn discuss technology… Kind of.

Somewhat accurate for me, but I dabbled with Ubuntu, Debian and Alpine for my server so idk if that counts, otherwise my first distro was Arch but the distro I recommend to everyone as their first is Mint+Cinnamon, especially if they’re used to Windows

Last year I generated 8 images during a day of experimenting with Google’s Gemini Image model. Running this same test on my own images:

• 5/8 were verified using Google’s own embedded SynthID;
• After running the failures through once again, one verified, making the successful total 6/8. Two remained ambiguous according to the AI.

Of these images:

• 5 were generated with just a prompt (4*/5), including the image that was not recognised at first
• 2 were generated using personal images alongside a prompt (1/2), the recognised one of a human, the other of a rabbit
• 1 was generated using sourced imagery alongside a prompt (0/1)

Conclusion: Hilariously, it seems the in-house watermark method is absolutely not accurate.

Is that what the PZ means, Posidriv?

Having dabbled with remote codes I can only assume that the remote sends a different, albeit common, signal. My Chromecast remote for example does not send (via Bluetooth) a traditional signal code for power, but a signal name that only is recognised by some devices.

I’m pretty sure that, if you take any one medium, if every single person who downloaded a pirated copy had to instead acquire it legally:

• a non-zero amount would’ve not bothered;
• a significant portion would’ve bought it on sale;
• a significant portion would’ve bought it from a reseller.

Antipiracy arguments have always been fraught with erroneous speculation.
