You’re playing on PS5? How proprietary!


Are any of these points unsolvable engineering problems?

Currently, yes.



No, I was just asking whether you’re familiar with him or ever interacted with him. Why would you think I would assert he would deserve to be swatted?

Most people don’t deserve to be swatted, including Daniel Micay. However, it’s not exactly surprising this happened based on the tone in the GrapheneOS community.

Maybe read the comments on reddit and the Grapheneos forums to get a better picture: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/13spm4d/daniel_micay_steps_down_as_lead_developer_of/

Just because some people are out to get you, not everyone is. Obviously his paranoia is understandable.


yeah, I was banned for asking questions in the support Matrix channel because they were all super on edge. Hope this gets better and people finally calm down. It’s not a good thing to get gray hair about FOSS.

Daniel stepping down is a huge move both for him personally and for the community as a whole. I hope he can finally have peace with the project and not be anxious about swatting and the like.


That guy is pretty sensitive to everyone and everything, getting paranoid to the point of thinking everyone is out to get him. Some of them are out to get him after all – in any case, I wish him the best and that his mental health and well-being gets better :)


Just pirate and emulate it then. Thinking about selling my switch and getting a Steam Deck. Next Nintendo console won’t be bought because of that bullshit they always force on their consumers.


it doesn’t remember the way i’ve answered this question 100 times already

Oh, it remembers. It just doesn’t care. Or more nefariously: it wants you to do the opposite.



IMHO, it’s assault against someone to take a part of them without their consent. It should be treated as such.


Garbage in, garbage out. Reducing the sensors to just use camera data and not having safety protocols to prevent the user from engaging self driving mode doesn’t help Tesla’s case here.



Looks like Tesla cars are pretty dangerous both to their drivers and to their environment.

I’m sad to see that we get way more Teslas and BYDs on the streets from day to day. These E-car companies don’t seem to have a high regard for human life, but a very high regard for profits at all costs.

People always praise Tesla’s and other e-car companies’ “innovative methods” but if these are anything like described in the article, I’d rather be conservative than dead.


how did you learn that? I find it hard to access this.


… in the UK alone! Should be added to the title.


You can choose to hyperfocus? Only when you’re listening to music and watch cartoons or whenever you like?




It’s open source and has lots of keybinds which make it fast and easy to use. It also has a few addons and can do GPG encryption properly.

What do you use?





Actually you shouldn’t sit statically at all. You can slouch, stand, sit straight but everything not longer than 1-2 hours max. You should at least put in a pause then, get up, exercise or walk for 10-15min and get back. A walking pad is also quite good but you shouldn’t use it 100% of the time either.



Does she dislike Plymouth in particular or is she proud of her own boot prompt and doesn’t want another in her household?


How did you put the ISO onto the flash drive? Which commands or software did you use to unpack the ISO? Did you use dd/pv or something like Balena Etcher?

I recommend Ventoy.




OBS is better when you figured it out though.



Duplicati, Syncthing with encryption explicitly enabled, borgmatic/borgbackup, restic.

[Do not use] Linux [Madaidan’s Insecurities, updated 3/2022]
The recommendation and link title was set on [this page](https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/security-privacy-advice.html) about security & privacy. Old discussion from earlier update: https://lemmy.ml/post/83116

It needs a daemon (lots of wasted resources).

You have to fiddle around in config files to allow access to files on the system instead of using something like Flatseal.

It basically only works with a store which is kind of proprietary.

Own repositories are hard to set up.

The packaging for software maintainers is harder than Flatpak’s.


Muslims don’t date, they marry.

That seems so backwards from an European perspective.


You should include the game in the title and put the link in ` backticks.


Why are you surprised? He’s not exactly known to be the most compassionate being on earth.


It’s a pretty good console, but it’s a shame it’s so closed off compared to the Steam Deck. Nintendo does Nintendo things…



Your links don’t work, they’re missing the https I think


Since he’s not an engineer, but a manager, what he does is what he says. When he says workers are expected to work on weekends, that he will fire half of twitter because they don’t add value or that trans people are just sick, this has a real effect on people.


How does anybody live with that level of annoyance?

Being poor that you can’t buy Google Premium and too uneducated to use an ad blocker makes it that people think there’s no other way and just accept it.

The same way they accept ads in free TV.









A repository which is behind https://cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/, including many links and debunking arguments by CCP shills. Keep in mind that being critical of the government of China is not being against the people of China. I am also critical of most other governments, especially the USA.

how to get Steam achievements for pirated games?
While I can easily afford Hogwarts Legacy, I don't want to support JK Rowling, so I will probably pirate the game. However, I'd still like to get Steam Achievements. Is it somehow possible to trick Steam into thinking I'm playing a game shared by Family Sharing or something?

how to share files in a group of friends?
Did you try [Tribler](https://www.tribler.org/), [RetroShare](https://retroshare.cc/) or [DC++](https://dcplusplus.sourceforge.io)? We're currently using magic wormhole to send custom Linux ISOs and lecture resources from Uni around but would really like to have a nice interface where we can search files instead of requesting them manually. For our "studyflix" we use Jellyfin but it'd be nice if we didn't have separate instances to download from, but kind of a more automated approach. Thinking about the huge media libraries some of you pirates have, maybe you can help us out? Requirement would be that it's not publicly available since some of the material needs to be kept private due to personal information in lecture recordings.

[Question] Matrix Synapse Logs fill partition – what do? Can I reduce the log spam for maybe_retry_device_resync?

They're so spammy that I a) can't see anything else going on without extensively grepping and b) it's filling up my disk to the point that 80GB of logs on the docker partition made my server go boom.
