Just the fact that your comments and posts aren’t nuked by mods and admins for existing is what puts lemmy well above any popular social media platform.

I think the average user is still wayyyyyy better than reddit because you will actually get a decent chunk of normal responses here, as opposed to an entire thread being filled with completely useless text or karma farming addicts.

And thanks to federation, if you ever do find yourself in a dumb instance like hexbear or feddit (lol), you can just swap to a new instance with no problem, and often users will naturally follow to the better instances where you don’t have content censorship .

Honestly they’d probably throw you on a list for not using the internet lol.

Man I can’t wait to upgrade my device/GPU with AV1 hardware support

I think Denuvo technically does a little bit of this.

I forgot the exact details, but one of the keys that’s used to unscramble the bytecode has to be downloaded from their registry server on first launch.

But after that, it’s not required.

Ahaha jokes on you, I haven’t updated my dependencies in years so I only have to deal with debilitating CVEs

They don’t have any lunar module in their package. Best bet would be to just burn back into LEO and dock with a competently designed spacecraft to rescue the crew.

Except NASA has a sore history of being in this exact scenario and they opted to go with “screw it” which led to the second shuttle disaster.

Fedora

OpenSUSE if you want something non American and not directly related to RedHat

Yeah I can’t wait for when enthusiasts want my stacks of 2004 laptop RAM sticks and LCD panels.

The demand will open up any second now

You know the funny thing is there’s actually a biblical calculation that puts the end of the world around 204X that several well known Christian Theoloegians calculated including Isaac Newton.

It seems odd to me that fanatics ignore this prediction and insist on accelerating the end times or claim that the rapture is tomorrow.

The other funny thing is all the insane level of violence and corruption that both Christian and Islamic eschatologies warn about in great detail.

If you’re familiar with either source, the irony is astounding. People read a big fat warning about the end times and then decided “We can accelerate this and make it into heaven by playing the explicitly evil guys in this big fat warning”.

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback

Remember when a couple of critical CVEs went unnoticed and unpatched after disclosure because no one from Microsoft actually reads the insider hub lol.

How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?

What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?

I think Trump will seriously threaten with nukes but he won’t actually use them because Russia will MAD back Iran.

Otherwise they would genuinely consider using tactical nukes for instant victory.

Frontier is the Spirit of budget airlines lol

The fact that CachyOS more or less successfully replaced Manjaro’s purpose I guess is evidence of Manjaro’s issues.

I forgot but I think Bazzite had similar complaints (due to its use of silverblue) in which case it was just more straightforward to use Fedora or OpenSUSE if you don’t want to work with the read only root system.

Downstream distros need to bring additional value to the table to be worth using, otherwise there’s really no need if you can make a package group that accomplishes the same thing in one go.

The real kicker is that this is from people who bet against Iran striking Israel.

Wouldn’t even bet my life Israel’s iron dome is invincible, especially considering Iran already successfully broke through it last year.

Or you know, Gaza a bunch of times with pipe rockets.

(I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.

Makes sense but since ISPs are essentially a monopoly in fiber, they get to charge whatever they want, despite the fact that I know AT&T’s break even cost for 5G fiber is $10 a month per line.

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

I’m getting tired of this community man

Have any of you authored a successfully merged PR for a popular open source project?

This has to be a requisite before people start complaining about AI dev usage, otherwise you shouldn’t even on this site with the Windows (vibe coded lol), Mac, Linux, or even FreeBSD kernels since they all have AI used somewhere in the development process.

Just because someone is using AI, doesn’t mean something is vibe coded. There was also still crappy vibe coded software long before there was ever AI.

I thought the previous thread on Vim was bad. What are you guys going to do now? Fork Lutris and make a downstream that no one maintains or uses?
