    I don't use it because Calyx is "good enough" and I make a lot of my decisions about which projects to use based on the community associated with them. Graphene has a toxic as fuck community, Calyx is very carebear.

    No vassals, you are landed gentry. You own your machine now.

    I thought we weren't supposed to kink shame. Maybe /u/Raglesnarf is really into degradation and being dominated. Full on ball-busting, perhaps?

    I use TrueNAS and just checked: There is an available Minecraft app and also something called MineOS (seems to be a front end to make managing the server easier). My plex running through the same app ecosystem stays updated and hasn't failed me yet. I used to run the service separate from the NAS, but this is real nice.

    FreeNAS and UnRaid probably have the same functionality.

    oh. hmm

    Reminder: The DMV uses photos for facial recognition

    This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn't come into conversation. Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition, and nobody has talked about it for years. This is...

    nobody has talked about it for years

    March 2024: https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/police-use-colorado-dmv-facial-recognition-program/73-0c2d862c-a33c-4598-bc0a-e0d1a8ee287f

    There are rumblings here in CO about curtailing law enforcement's use of this database. I personally would like to have subpoena protection of the database, so at least it has to go before a judge before the cops just rifle through everyone's pictures.

    This is especially concerning given that citizens are recently being required to update their ID to a “Real ID,” which means more people than ever before are giving away the rights to their own face.

    lol, no. Real ID is just a set of requirements the federal govt. has implemented to make sure state IDs are held to the same standard as passports re: data integrity and information presented. That's all. Not mark of the beast, not something nefarious to track you more than your old state-issued DL did in the past. As far as "recently"? Nope, states have had 20 years.

    So the US government wants to curtail the use of an open source architecture that is published by a Swiss organization which isn't controlled by any government.

    Talk about tilting at windmills. What the fuck could they possibly do? Sanction RISC-V International? ONO!

    I'd like to interject for a moment. (lemmy.ml)

    What you’re refering to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another closed component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising...

    Right? I might have an old GTX970 I could part with if old boy here wants a drastic upgrade.
