Banning Spree?
  • Why the fuck is Lemmy making votes visable to moderators? This is RIPE for corruption and abuse. Secret ballot is the only way voting works!

  • Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”
  • I agree, the security key thing is a bit of an issue. However this might a bit of a user error as well. The thing to understand is that Encryption keys are not stored on Matrix.org. If they were, then Matrix.org (or whatever homeserver you're using) would be able to decrypt everything you can decrypt, thus making Matrix pretty useless. The solution is that keys are only stored locally on your devices. Keys are shared to other devices using the Verification process and Emoji matching thing. The problem is most users just go "Whatever!" And ignore the verification process and then have a bad experience because they don't have Encryption keys.

  • Would love to see the implementation!

    I'm using Maubot in a docker container with the Social Media Download Plugin. Here is a list of all the plugins: https://plugins.mau.bot/

  • Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”
  • I moved a big group off Discord last year to Matrix chat (Element). It's been largely pretty alright. 100mb upload limit, we have a bot that downloads tiktoks/Instagram/reddit videos and uploads them to the channel so you never have to visit the sites. Pretty nice! Open source and federated, you guys should give it a try!

  • Watching ml and world argue in every thread be like.
  • Pleasently surprised to see Bakunins name dropped! Since there seems to be some misconceptions in this thread about what Anarchy actually is, I thought I'd share one of his quotes that has stuck with me through the years:

    Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality

  • Reality can be disappointing
  • There is an export feature that will spit out a json file and you can import it to a new instance. It will carry over your subbed communities and blocked accounts. I use it to sync accounts on different instances (My instance can be slow sometimes)

  • Watching ml and world argue in every thread be like.

    Don't worry I'm here for every delicious bit of drama.

    Amandla Stenberg Says ‘The Acolyte’ Being Canceled Was ‘Not a Huge Shock’ After ‘Rampage of Vitriol’ From Toxic ‘Star Wars’ Fans
  • My only hope is that we get some kind of closure on this story in an animated short or something. Maybe Tales of the Sith? Nothing is truly ever dead. How are they gonna show us Darth fucking Plagueius and the cancel the show. God damnit!!!

  • Amandla Stenberg Says ‘The Acolyte’ Being Canceled Was ‘Not a Huge Shock’ After ‘Rampage of Vitriol’ From Toxic ‘Star Wars’ Fans
  • Describe the main character? What's her motivation?

    This is a strange question. Osha finds out her sister is alive after 15 years and is killing the Jedi she thinks rescued her. Thats not motivation?

    I totally enjoyed the Jedi being flawed and arrogant. They couldn't imagine anything bad happening in their ever vigilant watch.

    Compare the elevator scene in andor, or just the heist episode to anything in acolyte, it's just not even the same league.

    The episode where Qimir straight up murders like 20 Jedi in their prime. Absolutely brilliant and as good as anything else Disney has done with the franchise.

  • Amandla Stenberg Says ‘The Acolyte’ Being Canceled Was ‘Not a Huge Shock’ After ‘Rampage of Vitriol’ From Toxic ‘Star Wars’ Fans
  • As a die hard Sta Wars fan, I'm pretty hesitant to even identify as that now. It was 100% shitty toxic fans that ruined this show. I guarantee most people saw the negative internet backlash and never even bothered with the show. Incels backlash is organized and planned. This shit has more reviews on RT than Mandorian, a 5 year old show after 2 weeks. It's all bots and fake review spam. Almost all criticism I saw leveled at the show was from people who had CLEARLY never seen Star Wars, and were NOT watching The Acolyte. They were bitching that Dathomiri Force Witches were woke lesbians! Give me a fucking break Force Witches have been part of SW lore for 30 fucking years. Acolyte was amazing Star Wars and I pity the fans who are too stupid to enjoy it.

  • Sometimes it has its own problems, but it doesn't mean that it's not great
  • Recovering Arch user here. I really like Bazzite!

  • Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI
  • Pedophiles need help, counseling and therapy. Not images that enable something I think is not acceptable in society.

    I mean 30-40 years ago you could replace the word pedophile with homosexual and a vast majority of people would agree. I'm not defending pedophilia here but it's important to remember these people are born the way they are. Nothing is going to change that, new pedophiles are born every day. They will never go away. The same way you can't change gay or transgender people. Repressing sexual desire never works look at the priests in the Catholic Church. A healthy outlet such as AI generated porn could save a lot of actual children from harm. I think that should be looked into.

  • AFAIK there is a work around to run MacOS in a VM and run the Mac client which doesn't have kernel anti cheat, but meh, why bother?

  • What are some alternatives to Google Maps?

    I'm sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I'm tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

    EDIT: Was not expecting so many replies, thank you Lemmy! I am checking out Open Street Maps currently thanks for the recommendations!

    How to exclude flatpaks from TimeShift?
  • Snapshotting is a feature of BTRFS file systems. Timeshift will manage said snapshots. BTRFS file system is required.

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
  • They use discord because it's popular. Insert Ouroborus argument here, and at the end of the day it's still the most popular app.

    Using this logic why shouldn't I just download chrome and forget this project exists?

  • Sorry I can't do it.
  • Ah okay then. As user Russ said above it's gotta be Nvidia drivers are still in beta with the fix from Nvidia side. I'm using an AMD card as well for this exact same reason. Wayland runs great on team red!

  • Sorry I can't do it.
  • KDE 6.1 just hit Arch repos like 3 days ago. You're likely on 6.0.5. Switching between X11 and Wayland is effortless just change the default manager in SDDM settings.

  • Sorry I can't do it.
  • The flickering thing is because you're using Wayland and Nvidia GPU. If you switched to X11 (losing HDR support, unfortunately), the flickering goes away. However! I would recommend updating your system to KDE 6.1, which I believe has the explicit sync fix.
