I view the repeated reply of "start your own server" as a cop out to not address what is fundimentally broken about a service, plus it doesn't acknowedge that starting a new instance requires taking on a daily obligation of attending and checking that the service is running and immediately addressing in as short time as possible.

Look at the rules of a instance that focuses on a particular topic or industry, they still have rules for public postings or acceptable speech.

Since Mastodon has the capabilty to ban IP addresses and for one instance to ban another instance from communicating with it, that's using a deny-all rule due to specfic individuals, so everybody on the internet who uses one server do not exist online for people on another server.

One of the main or even first rules for a lot of Mastodon is nobody is allowed say anything bad about tansgender or homosexuality an will result in account delete or ban, that much censorship is a cult.

Not allowed to criticize vaccines. I'm not talking about messaging individual users, simply a public posting criticizing trans ideology or injections, banned.

If someone reads the rules across a long list of Mastodon instances, a picture becomes clear about conformity to acceptable speech. Functional healthy adults are mature enough to ignore it or they themself choose to ban a user from messaging them, not an admin who had no part in a conversation. If one person creates multiple account and targets individuals, then yes the admin gets involed.

To prove my point, do a search for a Mastodon instance that allows obnoxious or unpleasant statements, that is still allowed to communicate with more populated instances.

You lying to yourself or have unfounded expectations. Everything on Mastodon is in plain text, there is no encryption, and servers get mirrored. It's only the login info that stays with the instance, and they all say that each instance server keeps logs for a year.

It has never been any priacy at all. The entire point of why Mastodon was ever started was censor evertbody that has the wrong opinion. Twitter wouldn't delete people because of what they believe, so Mastodon was developed to ban IP address so only approved speech could exist on the internet as far as they are concerned and can avoid ackniwledging the real world. A high number of people on there, especially the admins, live in cult

I guess everybody around there is trapped. Have to close all windows and doors. I only smelled it maybe an hour ago but now the smell of smoke is gone.

I heard about it on Mostodon. What is the blue light?

Navi has a built-in download manager, it is not a standalone download manager. I use Navi as a light web browser for websites in case I never a browser on phone.

I do not compile IceCat, it's available in different repositories.

I am using Graphene abd I disabled Vanadium due to it being Chromium essentially. I use Navi or Download Navi from F-Droid. It does not have as much web functionality as Vanadium, but I don't use phone for websites, I read websites on computer or laptop, but occassionally something might need a browser momentarily so that's what Navi for.

If you want a web browser for privacy, I would suggest use F-Droid and in Settings under Anti-features, turn off every option in there, do a search for browser and see what you think of the options. It's either cheap development or old. A mobile web browser that protects privacy doesn't seem to exist with the capabilitied of a Firefox.

I'm a strong believer that there is no such thing as a privacy respecting browser that is closed source. For that reason, I use IceCat on computer.

A definite much needed improveme because I know the memory on 3090 has some issues with temperatures that was improved on for the 3090 Ti.

I would guess that the 5090 is going run cool given how small it will be, but with GDDR7, I'm not sure if it will bring temperatures back up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you have a comparison of temperatures from before and after?

Nothing can touch Photoshop. They pay developers good salaries to implemend new features. For people who do media prouction and photography for $150,000, they only care about time, nothing else. I will always tell them to use Mac or Windows and Photoshop to get work done in a hurry and get paid.

GIMP does not exist or is s laughing joke for people who work full time in graphic design and photo production.

Everything does. The 1060 is ok as long as you do not play any games from the last 3 years.

Given your specs, I assume the power supply is in the 650 to 750 range, that won't handle the new hardware releases.

For you next system, I would suggest paying extra money for an extra nice case and a larger power supply than what you could use. That way with an expensive case and expensive power supply, in 5 years you'll only need to replace motherboard and processor, you will not have to take apart the whole system or build a whole new one. You simply disconnect all cables to.motherboard, unscrew it, take it, put in new board, CPU, RAM, connect all cables to board, you did a new platform upgrade.

I bought a 1000W power supply, I might max out at drawing 600W. It wasn't a waste of money. My system is 100% stable, PS is not working much with that load, it will still work very well when I do a platform upgrade in 3 years or so so no cable management since I will use the same case and power.

That's a first gen 4 core that has memory latency issues. The board could be too low end on VRM to handle a 5600x upgrade

Friendship kiss (latte.isnot.coffee)
 

For a city that is all about showing public acceptance of gays and trans, why do the men seem so uptight as a matter of respect and greeting, for a man to kiss another man's face, on the cheek of course?

Explain how people are all for 2 men frnech kissing, but a friendship kiss is too sexual, there seems to be a contradiction.

Are men not comfortable showing a bond with other men but let's love the gays? I grew up with a kiss on the forehead or cheek is strictly general affection to show a sentimental care for the person.

Is there people on here who are old enough to remember when a man could take a punch and would physically defend other people's safety?

How did it get replaced by people complaining on the internet about a website hurt their feelings?

 

From Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD

Over the last 6 months we've worked on adding arm64 BTI & Intel IBT support in the kernels and all userland binaries. We have been fixing all the applications along the way. Many developers were involved. There is an innovative and substantial difference in our approach compared to how Linux is doing it:

  • On OpenBSD, IBT/BTI enforcement is on by default (meaning mandatory), unless a binary is linked to request opt-out (using -Wl,-z,nobtcfi). After all our fixes, very few application binaries need that, and that count is expected to shrink quickly as we (or upstreams) fix the outstanding issues.
  • On Linux they are rehashing the same design as their executable-stack mechanism: if a single .o file in a resulting binary isn't marked as IBT/BTI enforcement, the system will (silently) execute the program without enforcement and noone knows this is happening. So for an issue from around 2001, today Linux binaries with executable stack exist and work unsafely. I expect that 20 years from now Linux binaries without IBT/BTI enforcement will also exist and work unsafely..

If system security is the most important criteria above everything else, switch to using BSD.

 

I only play single player campaings exclusively, I only buy games based on the campaign, I never play multiplayer, not one.

Does high framerate really make for better gameplay in a campaign? Is 120fps noticable over 60?

I play on 60Hz now at ultra. Is 120fps Cyberpunk really a better experience than 60fps Cyberpunk?

 

An interesting comparison and discussion https://yewtu.be/watch?v=f2e4FNMzyto

 

Have people noticed how much popretary java code ProtonMail requires when using a web browser for email?

Also, why the required login on their free VPN service if they are all about privacy and encryption? Why do they want someone's network traffic in order to use their free VPN?

Over the past 6 months my suspicion grows bigger and bigger of who is behind Proton, the agenda behind starting the service, and how it caught on? Why don't free encrypted anti-government services catch on?

Until ProtonVPN removes login requirement and release VPN server code under open source license like RiseupVPN or CalyxVPN which are anonymous VPN's, no account, I will choose to treat Proton like a spy agency.

 

I try doing a search for !pcgaming[@lemmy.ca but says not found. The website for https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming is up and running but I can't find the community. Is there something I'm overlooking or not considering?

I am a member of 2 other lemmy.ca communities.
