*Nintendont

The lawsuit company which makes games on the side strikes again.

Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…

I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…

E.g:

• Grayed out screen under HDR
• LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
• Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
• …

= AI bubble

vomits in mouth a little

Don’t meddle with “stable-coins”.
They are pointless since they:

• Do not replace fiat
• Are not stable since inflation on fiat
• Are more risky then fiat

If you want a “stable-coin”,
just use fiat…

Only crypto you should still care about these days is Monero.

You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:

• Desktop: Invidious + Piped
• Android: Newpipe + Tubular

Correct me if I’m wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:

• Proprietary pieces in their code
• Telemetry (spyware)
• Snap packages by default

Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.

If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.

CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies),
basically FIAT 2.0,
but now with even less rights and privacy over your money.

Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.
https://suyu.dev/

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.

I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.

I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.

In addition the sites contain advertisements.

Only these 2:

• world@lemmy.world
• worldnews@lemmy.ml

Because they:

• Spam up your feed
• Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
• Try to manipulate you

Citra, internal resolution x9,
and you’ve got yourself an early access to this :)

No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.

Points that can help them change to FOSS:

• Cool new features not available in proprietary alternatives
• Awareness of privacy risks & issues
• Battery life improvements
• Storage size reduction
• Security improvements

Sites that can help them find FOSS alternatives:

• https://www.opensourcealternative.to/
• https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
• https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/
• https://f-droid.org/en/packages/

In my experience it’s extremely hard to make someone not interested in software to try out new FOSS apps though…

Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…

• Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it’s federation software is still under development
• Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff

I won’t disclose where I store mine.

But I’d recommend to:

• Not backup your PW manager’s database + key file in the same location
  (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they’ll have the key)
• Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

I’ve been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

• https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb
• https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android

2 words for you:
Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc…

I guess a little inflation is good,
to prevent all money from ending up in a single party’s hands.

However that’s the only upside I could think of, other then that I fully agree with you.

Central/regional banks “printing” money, through bonds and fractional banking, is blatant stealing from people who worked / saved in the past imo. Since it leads to inflation / devaluation of the currency.
