Technology@lemmy.world•The political use of operating systemsEnglish
5·2 days agoYep definitely AI slop.
Basic definitions, ‘not only x but so many sets of three’ -
"Power, duty, and an honour
elections, referendum and political initiatives
institutions, private entities and peers
a particular perspective, prioritizing certain needs and choosing the way we interact with technology"
That was only the first few paragraphs. Gave up after that, such a worthless read. I’ve got more important stuff to do, like watch paint dry.
At least take something useful from it - at least we know thelibre.news is pure trash.

18·4 days agoThis is absolutely not ‘the only way forward’. Hardware attestion is much more secure and doesn’t rely on third parties to give you permission on how you use your own device.
Lets hope enough developers boycott this awful initiative. Graphene are asking devs to boycott this and hopefully they can get enough momentum behind getting this blocked -

14·11 days agoI like that you like him now… But i don’t think the main reason he’s become cool now is due to him… not wanting to be cringe lol.
Obv yeah the audience n he grew but it sorta takes agency away from him by knowing its all bullshit haha. Like yes, he’s a huge YouTube star but he’s also now huge advocate of privacy, security and mental health.
He’s not just doing this cos he doesnt wanna be cringe.

21·11 days agoThis is such an idiotic take. Yes i get it, Brave do try to offer some bullshit features out of the box, but there’s not many (if any) that don’t. You are not supporting scams or homophobia by using Brave.
You can very easily and quickly lock down Brave to remove all their nonsense. This is just the same like you do with other browsers so all good.
Yeah, company is shady, but browser is still grand for now if you do your own lockdown of features.
If you wish a browser rec, please go with Mullvad.

22·11 days agoI know Brave is a big no no in these woods but they offer an option to select your own Content Filtering lists and one of those is Youtube Shorts.
Fantastic privacy feature.
Also they have Paywall Blocker, AI Suggsstion Blocker… Etc etc

693·11 days agoI totally missed him being a Youtube jackoff and only watched my first Pewdiepie video last year when he was degoogling. Because I was doing that as well. Then saw his Linux video and that made me realise Linux was for me.
So while people might think he’s some sort of douche, to me he’s just fucking brilliant! So funny and smart, and really wants to help people escape from the awful internet we have now, where everything is sucking up your data. He gives great advice on how to do that and does it in such a funny way.
People keep mentioning his redemption arc lol, but i’ve just seen the great stuff so for me, abs love his stuff! Highly recommended!
Best thing for Linux, having such a huge Youtuber praising it so much!
I think the thing that will really push it into this kind of territory is if a company sells their desktop PCs with Linux already installed.
Similar to how Steam used Linux for the Steam Deck and how that allowed far, far more people to experience Linux.
Similar to how Linux (Android) has a huge market share on phones - because it came pre-installed!
Like most normal people, outside of tech probably haven’t even heard of Linux. Some people arent even aware there are more options other than Windows.
So yeah, I think the more that big companies start selling their products with Linux pre-installed, the closer we get to 20%!
(Side note I think Linux might be closer to 10% already, although theres no real way to tell. Most estimates we have are massive underestimates since most people simply turn off telemetry on their Linux installs where possible, we Linux users are not usually the type to allow our data to be harvested so easily lol)

From checking the instructions on fitgirl, the extra steps are really not good (for whether it works on linux) because the more weird stuff you need to do with the repack to get them working on Windows, means there’s even more ways for this to then break on Linux.
Definitely something you could try to get working. Best of luck with it!
Also if it is a bit of a struggle to get working or not, I hope you don’t give up on trying Linux. It really is a great operating system and the vast majority of games do run. Just so happens these types of anti cheat shooters are built to block Linux

6·19 days agoSpecifically answering the COD part, if you mean any of the new Call of Duty’s - almost certainly not. They will simply not work on Linux.

Music@lemmy.world•Song of the Day: Diesel Power by The ProdigyEnglish
2·23 days agoI still love this album art. Used to go into my brother’s room n see it.
I was bit too young for it but few years after, started borrowing those cds off him lol.
I love all Prodigy but those early albums hit hard!
This is the best way👆👆👆
