They deleted my Reddit account for me long time ago, I'm ahead of all of you.

Wonder if they will make EU-only variant of hardware and software which will be like totally different phone. They already did sideloading, USB-C and now this. What next?

newzit.com for international news, Polsat News for Polish/sport news and Slashdot for tech news. I add them to RSS whenever possible.

I use them constantly on laptop with GNOME. It makes it easier to switch windows with touchpad. On desktop I don't use them so often, because I forget about them.

Most sites still send domain name in clear text. You can see it in Wireshark or PCAPDroid. You need VPN if you don't want your ISP to see the sites you visit.

It supported torrent for ages, but it has only one tracker that doesn't really have very much content. Now qBitTorrent or something else supports it out of the box.

I2P is very slow, slower than Tor. Maybe after more people join, it will be faster. Last time I tried it was painfully slow to even load most eepsites.

If you don't buy no-name brand phones, you will get at least one major update. Even chinese brands such as xiaomi will provide updates. You can also install generic LineageOS image if your phone can be unlocked some way, official or not. It works on most devices.

But many smart TVs become useless very quick. When I was using 2015 phone in 2020, TV newer than that already loaded the lightweight Google version for unsupported browsers and vast majority sites/apps became unavailable. It used browser that was already 2 years old when it was released and never released an update to it. But when there was root vulnerability, they released a fix after long time of being basically unsupported.

I was using Flatpak and Toolbx exclusively until I discovered Nix. It's much better than using those two.

You literally have previous $7 for just clicking on Google search results from 2006 to 2013. The median hourly earnings in 2006 was around $12. That's like you worked half of hour back then. Done in few seconds.

They should multiply it by number results clicks, violation took place every time you clicked a results link.

Nothing. Everything your instance has is your IP address (mostly useless) and password hash (also mostly useless). Everything you have here is public. Maybe except your settings, like light/dark mode.

I use Gitea as project hosting and personal wiki. I also host Nextcloud for files and news and Jellyfin for movies and music.

In this order.

 

Kbin (and Lemmy) needs something to combine several magazines into one. Currently, there are many magazines spread over several instances. There's no way to just view or subscribe to them at once. You need to check them separately. If there were multi-magazines, new user could just search for someone's multi- and don't get confused by the ten other communities that often are empty.

Is there a chance that it will be ever implemented? It's one of kbin biggest blocks from getting popular.

 

I requested account deletion and it's on queue now. How do I cancel if, when it's still not processed? I didn't get any email about that, so I think it's not about mail confirmation.

Why isn't the deletion automatical process? Like on other websites, where you just click "Delete account" and it's done? From what I understand, on kbin it's manually reviewed.

 

Prigozhin defended his so-called "march for justice" by insisting he had no intention of overthrowing Vladimir Putin's government - it was just a demonstration.

 

Original post: https://kbin.social/m/tech/t/57239/How-do-projects-like-PINE64-and-Asahi-Linux-write-open-source

How do those projects write open-source drivers for proprietary hardware legally? I know that there's "clean-room" reverse engineering, but is it really a requirement? From what I understand, you can write docs about how the hardware works and then the other team can write a software based on that documentation.

What if the new software is just implementing the necessities for compatibility and other than that is a different product? Is it still illegal for just one team to do that?
