Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology
  • Thanks for sharing. I (wrongly) assumed all games were entirely 100% DRM free.

  • Why FOSS projects are using proprietary, privacy invasive infrastructure?
  • Whenever I see a project which the support relies on Discord, I ignore it, or I treat it as if it doesn't have support at all.

    I refuse to participate in a community which makes Meta looking like a privacy focused company.

  • Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
  • Thanks for explaining.

    I never heard of that. and for the Eipstein, I always associated his info with powerful people, but not specifically with the Clintons ಠ_ಠ

  • Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
  • As someone who’s not following 🇺🇸 news, what does that (Hilary) part means?

  • Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
  • I agree with everything you write, but I'll also add an unpopular opinion as someone who tested the beta version of Vista and hated it: Vista x64 SP2 was a good OS, which solved most of the issues that existed with the OS.

    And into this day, it's the most beautiful Windows UI, at least for me.

  • NewPipe v0.27.0 released
  • Same. Tubular is awesome

  • Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
  • But in order to use that, I need to get replace the current Pop_Os Gnome interface, right? I cannot use that as an application, like PowerToys does, or can I?

  • Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
  • I use Pop_Os on my desktop, but that’s nowhere near PowerToys. Even the search is barebones when you compare it with PowerToys using the Everything search plugins.

    Also PowerToys has a lot more to offer than the search: mouse shake features, keyboard remapping, a great window manager with shortcuts, files preview and much more.

    I know there are some decent alternatives in MacOS, but I haven’t found a proper replacement for that on Linux.

  • Riley Testut launches Delta emulator on US App Store (free) - shows middle finger to Europe (payment required)
  • I only use RetroArch on PC, so I don’t know how it works on iOS, but I will assume will be identical to the console versions, which already have all the cores included on the emulator (on PC they are downloaded individually).

    I wouldn’t call it just a front end, it’s much more than that, and it has a great integration. Also the devs seem to focus a lot on the emulation accuracy.

  • Riley Testut launches Delta emulator on US App Store (free) - shows middle finger to Europe (payment required)
  • As an European, I still prefer the freedom to have alternate App stores.

    Yet, I still don't see a reason why they don't provide the same app to all customers since it's allowed by Apple, aside from greed or something like that.

    Either way, let these developers enjoy their small time of fame, because as soon as RetroArch becames available, a lot of these emulators will be left in the dust ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Tarallo - selfhostable FOSS Trello alternative
  • To make it work, I had to remove some things from the script, which didn't work for me:

    1. START TRANSACTION;
    2. SET time_zone = "+00:00";
    3. /*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
    4. /*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
    5. /*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
    6. /*!40101 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */;
    7. CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci (like you suggested)
    8. COMMIT; (In Alter Tables, since as far as I remember, DDL commands don't need to commit, only the DML ones. So I did the commit manually)

    If I need to remove the registration, do I have to update the Value column on tarallo_settings table or are there any settings' menu which I'm not seeing?

  • I created a DB with utf8mb4 with the general_ci collection, but the issue remains. I'll try to change the SQL script

  • Tarallo - selfhostable FOSS Trello alternative
  • The app seems great. @matteinim@feddit.it I'm getting an error when trying to create the DB tables: Reason: SQL Error [1273] [HY000]: (conn=517001) Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci'

    Does it support MariaDB 10.6.17?

  • Ad-less Spotify on iOS
  • I prefer to use Vinegar, instead of the adblocker, alongside SponsorBlock and DeArrow (⌐■_■)

  • Ad-less Spotify on iOS
  • Well, if you don’t link an instance, it won’t work. And you need to know the instances’ name (some of them don’t support account creation, which you’ll need if you want to import your YouTube’s subscriptions).

    So, compared to a normal app, like NewPipe where you install it and it just works, they are not wrong on saying that it’s s a bit of a pain.

  • What to include in a backup? (Ubuntu)
  • Hijacking this topic, I use this software on Windows, which does incremental backups of the system (including the OS, alongside documents, downloads, etc). It can also be easily restored by booting a custom image from an USB and restore the image created.

    Is there anything like this with Linux?

  • Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.
  • The DeArrow extension works with both ways:

    1. If the community submits a thumbnail (you can vote on them) and a better video headline, that will be the default one. I always try to submit the most relevant thumbnail, even if it might be a spoiler one (it’s up to you if you are interested in the context or not).
    2. In the absence of community submitted content, a random thumbnail will be used (still better than the stupid faces).
