  • Yes this community is run by Proton.

    I'm pretty sure this one's not though: there are two "communities" lists, one for ones run by proton and one for "user-supported" ones that aren't run by proton. And well, this one has actually been removed even from the second list so I really doubt they have much involvement here.

  • Leaving this comment just shows that you haven't read the submission lol

    The only open source code we have found is for the Lumo mobile and web apps. Proton calling the Lumo AI assistant open source based on that is a bit like Microsoft calling Windows open source just because there's a github repository for Windows Terminal.

  • Humble Choice games for September 2025

  • I actually thought it looked pretty good because of Return to Monkey Island (which has never been bundled before and the ATL price of which is ~half the bundle's cost). The average OpenCritic score (if that's what you meant?) for the games excluding the Destiny 2 bundle is high 70s, and the average Steam review score is 83% positive. Seems fine to me but ymmv depending on personal preference I guess.

  • Sapphire prepares global launch of NITRO+ motherboards

    Jump

  • Hm, I guess for me the pain I've had with motherboard SATA connectors has more to do with there not being enough space to navigate my hands in the case than the connector's direction. Having them connect parallel to the board has the (perhaps minor) advantage of keeping them out of the way of Super Long™ graphics cards or any other PCIe cards.

  • Do you mean "flat" as in facing parallel to the motherboard?

  • Anecdotally, quite a lot of users vote "selfishly" and don't care that downvoting reduces visibility. all and local feeds also fall victim to people voting as if these are their own personal curated feeds.

    And I hate it 🫠

  • "We're going to collect as much data about you as we can to sell to advertisers"

    That's a rather pessimistic interpretation of a privacy policy that starts with this:

    The spirit of the policy remains the same: we aren’t here to exploit you or your info. We just want to bring you great new videos and creators to enjoy, and the systems we build to do that will sometimes require stuff like cookies.

    and which in section 10 (Notice for Nevada Residents) says:

    We do not "sell" personal information to third parties for monetary consideration [as defined in Nevada law] [...] Nevada law defines "sale" to mean the exchange of certain types of personal information for monetary consideration to another person. We do not currently sell personal information as defined in the Nevada law.

    So yes, I suppose they may be selling personal information by some other definition (I don't know the Nevada law in question). But it feels extremely aggressive to label it a "shithole" that "collect[s] as much data about you as we can to sell to advertisers" based on the text of the privacy policy as provided.

  • I guess perspective here depends on your anchoring point. I'm anchoring mostly on the existing platform (YouTube), and Nebula's policy here looks better (subjectively much better) than what runs as normal in big tech. If your anchor is your local PeerTube instance with a privacy policy that wasn't written by lawyers, I can see how you'd not be a fan.

    However beyond being in legalese I'm not sure what part of it you find so bad as to describe it as a shithole. Even compared to e.g., lemmy.world's privacy policy Nebula's looks "good enough" to me. They collect slightly more device information than I wish they did and are more open to having/using advertising partners than I had expected (from what I know of the service as someone who has never actually used it) but that's like.. pretty tame compared what most of the big platforms have.

  • Nebula is a shithole, just have a glance at their privacy policy.

  • Your Lemmy/Reddit/Fetlife/etc profile is tied to your real name and browsable. How screwed are you?

    Jump

  • I used to believe in this (and to a degree still do), but the idea of increasing the attack surface of unreasonable people (who seem to have become increasingly common in the last 10 years) who will do insane things like SWAT you, or doxx your personal details (like home address), or even just follow you around online to harass you has made me have second thoughts about the tradeoffs involved in this approach 🫠

    I was wondering about the tradeoffs between fan height and just having extra heatsink there with slightly thinner fans, but at 151mm 80mm, even the 25mm thickness isn't that big of a deal I guess lol

  • Intel's chairman reportedly tried to sell fabs to TSMC, CEO Lip-Bu Tan opposed

    Jump

  • The report actually paints Tan in a pretty favorable light if you're in both the "hope Intel turns it around instead of selling out for shareholder value" and "Intel should keep its own manufacturing" camps.

    Tan's effort to raise several billion dollars through Wall Street banks to strengthen Intel's finances and invest in production capacity were pushed back by the board. A potential purchase of an AI accelerator developer — aimed at narrowing the gap with Nvidia and AMD — has also been slowed by lengthy board debate, allowing another tech company to move toward acquiring the target instead, the report claims without elaborating.

    There was a post I read about a year ago (SubStack link) -- I think I found it through Ian Cutress? -- which discussed the author's thoughts on the board at the time. He wasn't thrilled with the composition:

    The board is pretty horrific. Most of the people have no technical expertise, and many of the people most at fault for getting Intel to where it is, are still on the board.

    The current rift just makes me even more curious about how much direction has changed and is changing under Tan vs Gelsinger. Until now it was a bit of a question mark how pro-fabs Tan was, but now it looks like he's pretty firmly in the pro-fabs camp - and maybe just less optimistic (or more pragmatic?) about the situation compared to Gelsinger.
