Apply with a load of shit ones and let the AI scan them and just opt out with your real one

The hero we need

I agree with the measures I hope they address companies doing it too as it could be a loophole.

We were thinking about a move to Spain soon and in years to come possibly renting out the home we buy and live in South America to be closer to family.

I imagine in this case , as a non EU resident despite being an EU citizen the tax would apply.

I do the same with adguard home, it works fine and like you say valid https for all services.

Syncthing ?

I added some more words to clarify, I meant the CEOs will claim it is replacing the developers. I'm a dev myself, we know it has its uses and its very obvious limitations.

Yes they just slap Ai in the marketing and scale up the price.

A corporate owned platform is not going to expose you to viewpoints that are against its interests. Lemmy is more inline with the actual state of the world as you are talking to other humans.

Sure at times we many not like what we hear but that is ok. We all need to hear other viewpoints, it is how we grow. Its not a personal attack and if you think about it being critical of a government is good, people should want their government held accountable and working for the people.

It is also not about red vs blue or any of the other bullshit labels . None of that matters, you are more like the average Russian than your leaders. Most people just want to get on with their lives with as little bullshit as possible. As for loyalty to the nation, I like Einstein's answer here.

Viereck: "Do you look upon yourself as a German or as a Jew?"

Einstein: "It is quite possible, to be both. I look upon myself as a man. Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."

I am from Europe and I am highly critical of the US as they are a bully, They are not some moral do-gooders that the movies paint them as. They have military bases all over the place and have meddled with so many countries. They are an empire.

"The U.S. has engaged in nearly 400 military interventions between 1776 and 2023"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_the_United_States

As for the platform aspect, do you think Twitter or facebook and the rest have been a net positive for humanity ?

Sure there have been positives but there have been massive negatives such as

  • the undermining of Democratic elections, brexit and trumps campaigns.
  • things like xkeyscore where these companies in some cases collaborated with the NSA or if not the greed facilitated the collection of data.
  • the algorithms that promote hate because it drives engagement, thus further driving a wedge in the fabric of society.
  • we have seen governments pressure these companies to hand over data and they then arrest, torture or kill the users.
  • things promoting US Interests are pushed such as the Arab spring but things against it such as occupy wall street or criticism of Israeli genocide is silenced or shadow banned.
  • suicides from bullying

For the record I am critical of my own government too where it makes sense but they do not invade other countries.

I reckon we will see the biggest transfer of wealth ever during trumps second term. They are all lining up for the big one. I see them trying to undo Labor laws and deregulate across the board.

I suspect they will push RTO even harder and try to drive down wages but specifically to screw over software developers currently on decent wages firing the lower paid ones, with CEOs claiming AI can do it while manufacturing the narrative that its the new normal 🙄.

I still eat them though now and again to vary my diet. 😄 (I can tolerate the bitterness from time to time)

No I already have a full time job.

I just have a finished one where I move them after I finish the story or I'm done with a game.

Specifically the emulation part. I wonder could this be used to take down a future emulator emulating the game. I know Nintendo claimed DMCA for the yuzu stuff. Not sure about EULA if there would be grounds to do so. Either way I'm sure we can expect more of this crap as time goes on.

like the rest of you I never read and ignore them , but on a whim I skimmed this one and this stood out.

I was only able to play skate 3 so far with better performance than rpcs3. I didn't change any settings in the conf file. It is using the vulkan renderer.

I limit the fps to 30, TPD to 8 and GPU to 1200.

I'm trying a few games here and there to see but It can only improve over time.

I came across this as I needed to install some proprietary app to view a .pkpass file and I discovered this FOSS app instead that does the job and doesnt share the data with any third parties.

Anyway I'm just spreading the word.

The text below is copied from fdroid.

"Displays Passbook (*.pkpass) files & shows the Barcode (QR, PDF417 and AZTEC format). It can be used also when offline.

This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities. Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste!

How does it work?

There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out! The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!"
