  • Bazzite, others announce Open Gaming Collective

    Jump

  • They do these types of things, a lot more often than open source projects actually.

    Thread Group:

    • ARM
    • NXP
    • Samsung
    • Qualcomm
    • nest labs (google)
    • Apple

    I will list more that for example google and/or apple are a part of, but not the involved companies to not make a wall

    • OpenID Foundation
    • FIDO Alliance
    • AOMedia (AV1)
    • CSA (formerly ZigBee alliance)
    • Bluetooth SIG
    • Apache Foundation
    • Unicode Consortium
    • WiFi alliance
    • LLVM Foundation

    Not to mention smaller groups that collaborate to discuss strategy over activies like golf or dinners.

    The downside is that very very often, the collaboration involves how best to fuck over consumers and the general public for more profit margin.

  • Does self hosting your own internet count?

    Jump

  • correct, the real mesh internet replacement is HaLow, that can get a whopping 4Mbps or something.

  • Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?

    Jump

  • And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

    That's why I lean hard towards KNX

  • Digital Independence: Berlin wants to introduce European payment service Wero

    Jump

  • And with IBAN there are sometimes unknown fees so the amount that your (especially from a different country) transferee receives is less than what you pay, and you only know after 1-3 business days.

  • European propaganda DESTROYED

    Jump

  • I might catch flak for this, but I understand Fahrenheit made a ton of sense of an illiterate bygone era (well, I guess coming back maybe)

    The vast majority of people were uneducated. Decimals were a non-starter, maybe negatives were also difficult?

    0-100 was very easy. Under 0? Don't go outside if possible. Over 100? Don't go outside if possible. >50/halfway? Time for a coat. Having the same scale from -15 to 40 might have been confusing and not centered for them?

  • DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

    Jump

  • And Bing, and searches that use google and Bing results (DDG, ecosia)

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    Jump

  • Well CAD software has made leaps and bounds since then. Anyone who used CAD back in the day would know what an unstable clusterfuck it was and how much longer it took than now.

    A lot of software has gotten much better, including "core" Foss like Linux and FFMPEG. There is just 10x as much software that is horrible, and windows has gotten so much worse to the point that it feels like computers have made no progress when you use it.

    Also, CPUs nowadays use about the same power as they did 20 years ago but with an order of magnitude more processing power, and the idle power consumption is much much much lower. The first Core 2 Duo had a 65W TDP, the same as modern Ryzen 5. GPUs are just out of hand with power consumption because of profit-driven game companies and AI.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

    Jump

  • ... Pretty much every CPU contains backdoors, not just american ones. The Chinese government does the exact same thing as the American government. They are two sides of the same coin but the Chinese government seems more competent and efficient unlike the US government.

    Even if the hardware doesn't have backdoors, the firmware often will, which you also can't get around with software.

    The tier after that is software which also has a lot of back doors, luckily, you can run Linux and open source software. That is the best you can do. Really the only thing you can "trust" not to have backdoors is MCUs because those backdoors are much more likely to need physical access.

    Sadly, our entire tech world is built on backdoors and intentional security flaws to enable easier debugging, recovery, and compliance with government law enforcement after the sale.

  • TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture

    Jump

  • Now you can see 30 of the same reposted tiktok spam blasting low quality live music instead of 10!

    Oh well I guess it doesn't matter anyway because if you try to update the app anyway it just downloads an invalid APK lol

  • What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?

    Jump

  • Deep sea diving repairs.

    You have to go into a pressure chamber as soon as humanly possible when you arrive from the deep void of nothingness or else you rupture and die. If anyone needs a union it is those guys. They should be paid 3x the ceo's salary.

    Also, sketch YouTube comedians like Smosh, Dropout, etc... I couldn't be "on" doing comedy for 6-8 hours a day recording constantly.

  • A real reason why Nazi-ICE is in Minnesota

    Jump

  • He knows which neighborhoods to bomb.

    He knows which houses to send the secret police to to beat, threaten, or murder.

    He knows which people to force private companies to bankrupt to put them into poverty.

    There is a ton that he can do with that information.

  • Which robot vacuum to buy?

    Jump

  • Also with their tools. Bosch green are cheap, Chinese tools comparable to other cheap brands. Bosch blue are the higher quality things.

    Their washing machines and dryers are also now plastic welded and non-repairable.

  • DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’

    Jump

  • You realize that the same people saying what you described above, are still saying that he was charging at ice with a gun and he had it coming

    I know you are pointing out how hypocritical and racist and misogynistic much of the US is, but they literally have no morals, red lines, or any actual convictions and every time someone else is killed, it didn't effect them so "it was lawful and the other guy is a terrorist who had it coming". You can go on any corporate social media and see it all over the comments from boot lickers.

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • Lol, if that were true, they should be shouting from the rooftops because after this, people will be scrambling to get guns when an occupying private military starts executing civilians on the street.

  • Ice Out Protest Minneapolis, MN today

    Jump

  • Minnesota is one of the only states with large social protections, and is one of the most progressive States in terms of actual impactful policies. The MN Dem party also isn't the US Dems. They are a seperate Democratic-Farmer-Labor which is significantly farther left than the center-right-wing dems.

    Walz even tried to ban corporations from owning single family homes outright a few years ago (republicans blocked it then wonder why home prices soar)

    That is why trump hates MN, and the fact that Walz ran against him.

  • Ice Out Protest Minneapolis, MN today

    Jump

  • Star Tribune has been covering these protests more than national news.

    But yeah, early reports say 50,000 people, but the videos look much more like 100,000, and just in the main area.

    Plus Minnesotans are actually organizing and they have rapid response teams to pick people up in the woods as ice beats them, tortures them, and then leaves them to die in -30C, often naked in the woods. Media doesn't cover that either.

    Plus, there are aid teams organizing food, diaper, and supply runs and distribution to at-risk population. A lot of people are working hard to keep people fed and alive while it is -30C outside

    Plus they have ICE locating teams that follow ice as pass news on to different neighborhood when ICE is going there and pass out instructions.

    Plus, smaller scale, but Minnesotans are starting to come out and have armed guards for neighborhoods against fascist occupation.

    This is compared to in Texas and a lot of the South (famously "you can't push us around, we all are armed") where there was the most ICE activity for all of 2025, and they just bent over and took it while licking the boot on the other end.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Are you naive enough to believe the surveillance OS that uploads literally all of your activity along with screenshots of your desktop doesn't automatically upload you keys no matter what little box you tick on the installer?? 😂 there is absolutely not one single 3rd party auditing that they actually follow any of the options at all that they give.

  • Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE

    Jump

  • That is simply not true.

    Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

    Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

    UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

    We don't have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

  • Greg Bovino Throws Gas Grenade at Lawful Protesters After Court Lifts Restrictions on ICE Use of Force

    Jump

  • Almost Nothing.

    US had <0.2% conviction rate of war criminals, <1% of "major war criminals. Look it up, <200 convicted and actually punished of 100,000. Fascist war criminals is one of the lowest prosecution rates of all time. Very safe criminal activity apparently.

    They gave many of the Nazis jobs, land, and positions in government and the UN. Nuremberg was a complete joke for publicity.

    If US history is anything to go by, they will get off with 0 consequences. Just like WW2 and the civil war. The US needs a significant change to deal with it, like trial-less minimum life in prison for all ICE agents or it will be literally the same shit cycle of fascism.

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • I have around 5 year of experience self hosting.

    There are tons of photo and video alternatives.

    One of the first was piwigo, but I don't know what they are up to now. Photoprism brought a bunch of new interest into the space, but is a bit hindered by their pricing model.

    The three frontrunners nowadays are: Immich, Photoprism, and Ente.

    Immich: easy and very practical google photos recreation (and surpassing in some ways)

    Ente: A self-hosted or externally hosted, easy version. More of an ecosystem with Ente Auth authenticator app like Aegis with cloud sync.

    Photoprism: much more geared to photographers, tons of organizational and sorting tools and geared towards using metadata of different cameras and such. Limited for me as they don't have multi-user support unless you pay 6€/month. I would consider that an essential feature to put in their 2€/month and move advanced geocoding to 6€/month.

    Immich on the other hand has a 1 time optional (you really should) $100 fee or $25 per account

    They are 3 great options.
