  • Next do the Happy Science cult and their "spiritual vaccines". I feel sick whenever I see their headquarters in Japan.

  • It's among the next 3 things on the list. You can expect it in gimp 3.1.0 in 2056

  • I for one will be looking forward to getting mid-spec PCs dirt cheap.

  • If you switch to programming.dev most political stuff gets automatically filtered away unless you're subscribed to it. Give it a try.

  • You don't need to convince me that trump is a horrible person.

    However the words used in OPs title are misleading and bad faith. As for who saw trump's post, sure it matters morally, but it isn't what I'm trying to point out here.

    "Trump posted Nazi era symbols" is disingenuous and doesn't help our side.

  • I meant the thumbnail appeared after he pressed "post", not that the article was edited. I say likely because as a software engineer I know how thumbnails generally are loaded on sites like these. They're not part of the "post" data, and appear a short while afterwards as the site fetches metadata from the linked site and creates the thumbnail in the background so it doesn't force the user to wait.

    I would say maybe snopes can't tell the difference between posting an image vs posting an article and have an automatic system generate the image, but what actually is going to happen is the maga people are going to say "see, I knew the fact checkers were biased. They intentionally make bad faith articles like these"

  • The platform automatically adds the thumbnail, so it was the platform that posted the symbol, and it was likely added after he posted.

  • Looks like a lot of chinese people will be getting their organ transfers after all after mystery donations from 40 anonymous individuals.

  • I was willing to overlook:

    • The bed costs $2,000
    • It won’t function if the internet goes down
    • Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
    • The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

    My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.

  • Grayjay still works fine.

  • LMMS doesn't seem to pack the samples and soundfonts into the project file when you import, so you're live referencing them in your folders, which means renaming the folders will break the links. I also learned this the hard way, and now tend to copy soundfonts I use into the project folder of each project, so if I need to move or send over files to someone else, I can copy the folder without breaking anything.

  • Couldn't add perforce to the list because someone else was checking it out, I see.

  • Been waiting for either 8a to drop in price or for 9a to come out. My old phone is 10 years old and barely hanging on, so hopefully grapheneOS adds support for 9a rather quickly.

  • Install windows 11, installer takes 11 hours, run windows update for another 11 hours, restart, install drivers one by one from various websites for an hour, run windows update, restart, uninstall bloatware, restart, disable telemetry in 100s of menus, run windows update, restart, disable telemetry again after windows update re-enabled them, go to various websites to download your preferred applications, install them one by one, restart.

    Vs

    Install Linux Mint, installer takes 20 minutes, all drivers already there, no bloatware, open software manager, install all your applications from there, they can all be queued, no need to restart, done.

  • That sounds like a cool concept. I'll have to look into this "Lemmy" thing.

  • About time they retired C. Oh, that's not what happened?

  • If the Pihole is catching and blocking it, it is possible to have it trigger a script that for example registers a push notification. Since they have a Pihole, they could also run a self-hosted push notification service on the same device if they don't want to use the Google or Apple Push notification systems.

  • It is the norm right now already.

    The only way out is specifically buying only products that don't do this shit, or ones that have been jailbroken and run open source software.

    But the very best way to stop it all for good is to kill online advertisement. Online advertisement is the number one reason companies want your data to begin with. Go to your grandma's house, install adblock origin and sponsorblock.

    When you have kids. Disable the google play store and install fdroid, and install an adblocker on their chromium of gecko browser. Replace all default apps with the fdroid alternatives.

    Get the oldest raspberry pi device and install Pihole, then make it your DNS service so all lan and WiFi data runs through your adblocker.

    Donate to open source projects, brag to your friends how your apps have no ads and no tracking.

    Fight for right to privacy and right to repair. Stop using google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta.

    Use Linux instead of Windows. If you need windows, run it in a virtual machine without internet access.

    Use grapheneOS, LineageOS, CalyxOS instead of basic Android.

    As for home systems like security cameras, I suggest following the ultimate open source guide by Louis Rossmann.

  • The AI race ends with everyone running cheap local models and no business being able to profit from them.
