Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

I'd agree but you can expand this quite widely then. You think they don't need their pictures anymore, in case you host something like Immich/Photoprism? If you host movies, series, games, they may not need them anymore but it would still be noticeable that they are not accessible anymore.

Not that I am saying you are wrong or what a good way of doing that would be. I don't know myself.

Yes, exactly. The upvotes did not reflect actual real engagement for a long time. I don't remember anymore where I read about it, but allegedly there is also some artificial correction applied. Maybe to combat brigading of upvotes but can of course be used for manipulation.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

I let you in on a secret: scientific literature has its fair share of bullshit too. The issue is, it is much harder to figure out its bullshit. Unless its the most blatant horseshit you've scientifically ever seen. So while it absolutely makes sense to say, let's just train these on good sources, there is no source that is just that. Of course it is still better to do it like that than as they do it now.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

"piracy"

... Wait, no. Piracy is the answer!

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

She later said Telstra had contacted her and offered a free Fetch box, which she acknowledged was a “reasonable resolution”.

And we have learned exactly nothing here. See you in 2 years when Fetch closes down and you are not getting anything back because you actually did not "buy" those movies on Fetch but on the previous platform.

Ah right, we are in the meme community. Carry on.

I am always amazed how these github pages often have 0 information what the software is actually doing.

For this one too you need to follow a link on the mainpage to get to a different site that tells you its for backups. I might have missed the word backup on the github page though... Ah no, it is mentioned a few times but the context makes it hard to get that's the purpose of the software.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Awesome! Also great its just one breaking change. I think I don't use that variable, don't recall it at all.

Flat fee is good. If its subscription I am hoping for forks.

Edit: also, I don't care what they say they plan to do. In the end actions matter. They can say now its just a small flat fee but 6 months in they can change their mind and make the crappiest micro transaction model they can think of.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.

Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

This is it. Also given the low quality of the movies production wise you can even rip them at suboptimal settings. I am sure Mom won't care if she watches her Christian propaganda at 4k or 720p with some visual artifacts.

Honestly, 88 1TB drives would make me envious too.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It will be. We are just not sure yet how because it precisely doesn't work like reddit or Facebook. But I am sure there are ways to manipulate here too, it may just be more elaborate.

They provided the backup e-mail address

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

Just in case anyone thinks they decrypted mails and handed them over, nope. I hadn't thought about that "settings" are not encrypted. Guess if you want to stay anonymous you shouldn't add your private mail address in there as a backup.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But if you use their service for free, you do not have to provide any identifying info. As far as I am aware there is no check what you enter is legit and there is no requirement to supply a backup address. So the whole solution for a user to stay anonymous as much as they can with Protonmail is simply to not enter any identifying info.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Understandable. I am running it since a few months and there weren't that many actually. The most recent one is even opt-in. But I get how its cumbersome to check before an update if anything needs adjusting. Looking forward to a stable release too!

You can use it as standalone app to track location at set intervals. But it also has a server app to synchronise to as well. Haven't used it as such, I only record to a file, but maybe this works for your purpose.

Good for the Immich guys, but I fear incoming enshittification or a subscription model.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don't mind if they are going to charge for it. But since it is selfhosted I hope a fixed price option with maybe still getting some important updates is on the table. If this goes subscription I am out.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I am not sure I understand the issue, are you or are you not wanting to backup those memes? Because in the immich app you can select the folder to backup from, e.g. camera, and in the timeline on my phone in the immich app I only see my camera timeline plus backed up images, but not other folders on my phone.

If you mean they all get backed up from different folders into the same timeline, then yes, that's a bit stupid. I have a situation like that and what I did was to make a separate account on my immich server just for art I find online I am collecting. Then I don't upload through the app, although with switching account you maybe could, but instead move those images into that accounts external library. Then share the whole library of that account with my actual account. Then it appears in the shared tab. But I understand that might get too cumbersome.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, but I am not paying for their food, I am paying for the software that I selfhost on my system. With that analogy you can justify subscription for everything in life, since in the end, people gotta eat.

When the icon shape is round it might look like what you describe, have you tried changing the shape? Even the stock android launcher has that option I believe, but I might be wrong.

Edit: and if you don't like that it says F-droid in the name of the Fennec app, just rename it? Sorry, I might be misunderstanding you, but those reasons are a bit silly and easily fixable.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Long press on app icon. Rename. Maybe your launcher does not have that.

And that first screen. You see that a split second when the app starts, if something like this is a problem for you to use the app then you cannot be helped.

I don't know what Mattermost is and clicking on the link that OP provided I only see a sign-up page. I don't know before signing up what kind of content to expect. Not quite enticing to sign up in that case on what looks like some random page.

Good idea but I am not sure this can take off. But maybe I am not the target population here.

@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Oh man, you just cannot tell anymore...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Very cool but what it is missing is showing when projects were updated last. I got excited seeing there was an Android app for Portainer but going to Github I can see last update was done 2 years ago. I don't use Portainer anymore so it is not worth trying for me if it still works as intended.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Maybe I missed it but my ultimate pet peeve of these articles about scientific breakthroughs is that they neither credit a single name of a scientist in their article nor even just putting a single link to the work. I know its likely behind a paywall (darn you scientific publishing), but still!

I browsed a bit through Nature Communications and haven't seen the article...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I missed the name, thank you!

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It would be worse if its the right direction but still the wrong orientation, seeing as the line is not centered.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yes, but people were claiming they had a good reason not to be FOSS. They could have easily just not mentioned it at all but instead they name a reason that isn't an issue for many others.
