And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…

Well, I don’t think that’s how ownership works. Grandpa decides to not sell

There are certainly small towns out there in the USA and abroad which are super friendly and kind, wholesome and uplifting. Community still exists. Might be easier if you’re part of their religious in group, or a hippie town

Hahaha but the very unrealistic part is that you’re gonna make big piles of money farming. Then again, that’s probably why you also gotta fish & risk your life in the mines & wander around stealing radishes from the woods

Idk I don’t miss anything. We got good software too, some of which is Linux specific or simply works best there. Get a PS5 and call it a day

Yeah man the apps are tight and I still get the most important news. The community is the kinda weirdos I like - Linux nerds, oss purists, cutting edge. I haven’t missed reddit in the last ~year of lemmy

Basically, media cannot truly be DRM because: (1) it ~has to be converted into data that screens and speakers can display (2) ultimately if it’s fetching widevine encryption keys, those keys are somewhere in your device and can be retrieved

So yes, you can do it. A “capture card” is such a “gyzmo” — but often, you can just rip using software, i.e. record the decoded stream

Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue

Is it still called slavery if the farm is “very big” and the boss has nukes?

My guy they just caught an object falling from space using a pair of giant chopsticks

Nothing wrong with rsync, it’s still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything

https://git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven’t tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync

Seems dope, I mean, your computer don’t work and retyping text is lame

Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!

(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)

Probably not the popular opinion, but I think EC is important to America being what it is & as large as it is. From Wikipedia:

The electoral college is fundamental to American federalism, in that it requires candidates to appeal to voters outside large cities, and increases the political influence of more rural states. Whether by design or accident, one of its effects is to help prevent a tyranny of the majority that would ignore the less densely populated heartland and rural states in favor of the mega-cities

Imo without the EC, the Democrats would just roll the elections and the entire Republican party would have to pivot. Serving the rural / conservative view would be a losing strategy. Then resentment would grow that a big cultural force in America no longer has any say

Perfume?

Nah, ugly ppl still make the music, behind the scenes :p

Well, the Internet is connected together using routers/switches. Your own home network is a “private internet” until you pay to connect it to the big one. So if you want, nothing is stopping you from running cables to your neighbors and hooking together. But then you won’t have access to anything useful except whatever servers you guys run

Was that your question?

I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it’s on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don’t see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn’t one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Functionally the same for most people. A VPN is a virtual LAN so you can access other computers on it. Ex. company’s internal websites from a remote location

Proxy just forwards traffic like a gateway. In both cases the source is hidden. LANs have gateways too

Yeah tldr is “rust good”, “ai overrated”, “i only care about the kernel and won’t answer your questions”

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know
