I mean, the rest of the world has been hyping AI since the start, no? Most companies are not run by billionaires.

Musk decided to respond to the EC’s findings on Friday by claiming: "The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

“The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.”

The same Musk who in March said, “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” and reportedly now has donated to a super PAC working to elect Donald Trump to the White House.

Lmao. What a response. Doesn’t respond in any way, instead blames eu for some random “illegal secret deal”. Sure bud.

Weird how much that response sounds like Trump. Just say random bs to divert the actual question.

Some countries have limits to nfc payments with a card. Finland has 50e but with a phone no limits (unless the bank limits).

Thank fuck.

Though they’ll make opt-out soon enough, when the backlash has dwindled down.

Started Valheim again with a friend of mine. Having a blast! No mods but we kinda wanted to add a few for an immersive no-map run.

I started playing Enderal, the full overhaul mod for Skyrim. Seems quite fun. Maybe 10h in now.

Dunno, I got entirely different results. Reddit, homeairguides, forbes, a bunch of listicles like consumerreports, wired, ny times, cnet and whatnot, and other websites.

Man, I wish I could chromecast netflix from my phone but apparently Netflix now requires you to use their app.

I should get smarttube though.

If 7.1 isn’t necessary and you already have a mic, I would suggest you take a peek at just normal audiophile headphones. If you don’t mind Reddit, some good pointers and ideas in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/comments/yobt7y/has_anyone_used_audiophile_headphones_for_gaming/.

I’ve been using Beyerdynamic DT880 pro for a few years and they’re amazing. Comfortable as hell and pads can be removed easily and cleaned or swapped. Great sound, zero regrets with these headphones. The entire DT lineup from them is very good as far as I know. Another go-to option is Sennheiser’s 600 series, but they’re a bit more expensive. There are numerous others but those are the ones that I know of.

I would suggest browsing what the /r/HeadphoneAdvice has to say, asking about audiophile headphones for gaming is a common question.

Not really. Walls get destroyed easily, you still need a moat to keep trolls away.

Raids are fun but the need of moats is kinda annoying. I’d rather have more difficult raids but without raids destroying my BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS GOD DAMMIT.

Hmm I wonder if there is a mod to make moat building easier. Or just nuke troll raids, that exists I’m sure.

Valheim.

Great and fun combat, mod support, multiplayer, good building mechanics, doesn’t feel frustrating to play.

Are you suggesting a case in which it’s funded by some billionaire who does not need to charge money in order to cover the cost of hosting?

This is a fair point. I doubt anybody would do this, or the monetization would be done through ads which might fall into the commercial aspect? Don’t actually know, but this is already a thing and not something I was really thinking about. Relating to this actually, it would be interesting to know how much licencing fees are in comparison to server costs for the current streaming services.

I was thinking something more like a program that just pulls data from torrents directly, so no need for a central server. Yes, probably not feasible using the current system as everyone would just leech, but maybe one would have to also share things you watch or something. Yes, again, this would complicate things but I don’t think that is necessarily has to. I feel like there has been a service like this (popcorn time or something), I think I used something like this aaaaages ago.

Definitely there would be technical challenges for something like this but to me it does not sound impossible. I just feel like that if something like this system would exist (if piracy were legal), it would completely nuke the cash flow for tons of companies. It would not remove all of it, some people would donate just like they do for open source projects.

At least for me personally, I am willing to pay for stuff in order for it to be legal. Should the need to pay be removed, while keeping things legal, I’d have no incentive to pay. The only incentive would be convenience, but I don’t think there would be any reason for piracy to be less convenient than non-piracy; it’s already more convenient for tons of use cases I’m sure.

When iTunes came along, it instantly ate up the vast majority of Limewire/Frostwire/IRC traffic for music.

Definitely true, just as happened with movies etc when Netflix and the like popped up. However, one can also argue that this was not due to convenience, but due to now there being a legal way of doing things. In reality I’m sure that everyone weighs legality and convenience (and the cost of the service) differently and makes their own decision.

Currently the convenience factor is going down due to enshittification (among other things), while price is going up. I feel like piracy is up but it’s not like I can get a non-biased view from Lemmy (or reddit) and I have not actually looked into it.

It’ll be interesting to see the direction in a few years.

But streaming proved that people won’t do that if they have a less onerous way to do it, whether it be Spotify or Netflix.

This is true to an extent, but if you would have a legal streaming platform that is free with all the same content then everyone would use that, no? The only reason someone would want to pay for Netflix is to donate to Netflix because they like it. But we all know how small of a percentage that would be. Reason why people use streaming services is that they’re simple and legal, and they are willing to pay for it.

Most video games don’t contain DRM, and can be found as torrents online, and yet video game sales are through the roof.

True. Though literally no clue about how much DRM there is. However, if piracy is fully legal then there would be no reason to purchase the games (assuming they’re as convenient). People are prepared to pay for things that are legal.

You’re literally just rehashing all the tired MPAA/RIAA talking points claiming that piracy would kill music and movies, that never panned out despite piracy always still existing.

Not really. I am arguing against piracy being legal. I am not arguing that piracy in its current form is killing anything.

If it comes from their copy, sure.

As in this argument.

Yeah alright makes sense. Sometimes it hard to know what people are exactly arguing about.

Sure, they are procuring something worth money without paying for it. But this is a very different argument than you would not pirate something if you would not also be prepared to pay it.

and non-commercial reproductions from that sold work?

But by this definition then, it should be ok for only one person to buy the item and then just copy and give it to everyone else, and the original author receives payment from a single item?

So are you arguing that turnstile jumpers are harming the company, but they are not stealing the service / train / ride? Like the literal word “steal”.

If you weren’t going to buy it, why would you pirate it? That’s the thing, if you’re interested enough in a product to want it then you taking it for free is a cost to the producer.

I don’t agree with this at all. There are tons of things someone might want to use or have but not enough that they’d be willing to pay for it. Or over a certain amount of money.

Not op but I would not care much. Sure things could be better but it’s not my problem. There is enough shit to worry about and music (or Spotify) is nowhere near the top half.

Same argument about standing up to someone’s livelihood being at stake can be said literally about everything. I got a limited amount of fucks to give. I’m happy if people want to fight this stuff and make music better for everyone but I ain’t part of that crew.

Something like docuwiki maybe, it looks like Wikipedia so everyone would immediately feel at home there.

How close is this game to Don’t Starve? I tried getting into it with a friend of mine but couldn’t and dropped it after a couple of runs.

Of course it is not. People are just meming, including up voters.

Waaaaaait I’ve never thought of using it for podcasts. Been using Pocket Cast but maybe I should take a look.

Interesting, thanks!

Really? Hmm interesting. Maybe I should take another peek at syncthing. Default settings or have you limited the sync frequency?

Oh yeah if it is integrated into the application then it’s much easier for sure.

People always mention nextcloud when it comes to syncing for e.g., Obsidian, but how do people use it with mobile? They never seem to actually use the local storage for anything, meaning you can’t map a local folder for use in the application (assuming it does not have the option to use cloud services). I know thay syncthing does use actual local folders, but doesn’t it use a fuck-ton of battery? I remember trying it a few years back and just could not due to it being a battery hog. Also tried the fork which helped but not by much.

I wish I could just use rsync but nooooo. Yes yes rooting is “possible”, which might just break shit or you need to use some masking to hide root from application to and jesus christ why the fuck is everything so annoyingly locked down god dammit. Rant over.

Havant tried termux + rsync tho.

Thanks, maybe there is something there for pvp then.

Yeah I’m aware of gw, just wondering about ffxiv. I always got the idea in my head that pvp doesn’t really exist in that game, hence the question.

How’s the pvp in ffxiv?

Good luck!

Don’t sweat it.

I remember looking into this as well like a year ago. I also found the same info and started to look into ssds, consumer and enterprise grade and after all that I realised that most of it is just useless fuzzing about. Yes it is an interesting rabbit hole in which I spent a week probably. In the end one simple thing nullifies most of this: you can track writes per day and SSD health. It is not like you need to somehow made a guess when the drives fail. You do not. Keep track of the health and writes per day and you will get a good sense of how your system behaves. Run that for 6 months and you are infinitely wiser when it comes to this stuff.

And to rewatch if you accidentally dismiss the cutscene.

The bot skips an important point. The site looks really close to the genuine site, only difference being “ķeepass dot info” and not “keepass”. Definitely easy to miss.

Kmb. If it is nor implemented well in the game I just skip the game.

I’m just switching from TiddlyWiki to Obsidian lol. Have not looked at Logseq though.

I used to use syncthing but got annoyed by it drawing sooooo much battery from my android phone. Tried the fork and got it down a bit but kt was just too much in the end.

It does not increase security per se but it does limit the amount of bots trying to connect to your server. At least it will make your log a bit less cluttered with random garbage.

Also installing something like fail2ban might be a good idea. Or even better would be to block all ssh connections except from a specific ip address (whitelist). This of course depends whether you can trust your ip to stay the same, or if you can still log in through some other interface if necessary.

By “as soon as you know” you mean “as soon as you have put those bindings to muscle memory”. Knowing them isn’t really enough.
