I think its still piracy but i pay for deezer just so i can use deemix to get their FLACs lol.

I dont think so? As far as I can tell, my account still works and I bought an album there the other day.

It looks like the company has been sold around a few times in the last few years and i think its gotten worse, but I honestly cant tell lol

If you can, and they have it on there, buy your favorite albums on Bandcamp, then they are yours forever

Ive had this problem extensively, but my new Dell XPS’ works out of the box!

Can confirm, grew beard during lockdown, never went back!

Agreed, i had more issues on Manjaro than i ever did on raw Arch. The Manjaro team, at least during the time i used it, didnt seem very good at keeping things working. So many issues with bad packages, keys expiring, stuff like that.

Arch was a blessing.

However, NixOS has ascended me to heaven lol.

I dont know what everyone is so upset about, the shotgun feels fine, the recoil doesnt feel bad, and the mag size isnt a huge problem for me.

Plus the flamethrower buff and laser cannon buff are super nice. Im usually in favor of the whole “buff everything else, no debuff” but this honestly feels fine.

Yea im pretty sure flatpak suports bundles that you can install directly, just like an appimage

Lmao what? Please, explain to me how thinking neither new companies or existing companies should be allowed to be doing what their doing, is hypocritical.

No lol, no one should. Me saying AI tech startups shouldnt be allowed to use stolen data means i endorse existing companies who have already stolen it.

But just because companies have already done it also doesnt mean we should be allowing new companies to also do the same thing.

Whoda thunk one word isnt enough to describe my feelings lol.

Good as in startups shoukd be allowed to be founded around stolen data.

Good

I sure you arent being serious, but farday caging the rooms would likely be highly illegal, blocking emergency cell calls and other emergency signals (like radio and gps) is a big ol no no.

I’ve been using LingoDeer for the past few days since hearing this news, and so far it’s not too bad. The social features are severely lacking compared to Duolingo (my friend group goes hard on the friends quests lol) but they have a lot more grammar explanation and whatnot available that duolingo doesn’t. Plus, LingoDeer seems much less focused on learning for tourism, and more for actual learning.

Note this is all for the Japanese course, no idea how their other courses are.

If OP is a journalist or refugee at risk of being targeted and killed, my advice is don’t use a VPN, use TOR lol.

Not untrue, and I don’t think that the possibility should be glossed over, but honestly, what do you think is more likely: this specific person getting specifically MitM’ed by a bad actor, or a bad actor taking control of a repo that hundreds of people blindly trust. I have a sneaking suspicion that OP’s threat model isn’t sophisticated enough to need to really, truly, be worrying about that.

What are you on about? If you are using the 3rd party repo, you are just as likely to get malware than if you download the deb directly from the wbsite. Its literally the same thing, just adding the repo means that the malware could get installed automatically and without you knowing where it came from.

When big dog acts out: “ahh that breed is aggressive! 😡”

When abused purse dogs act out (more frequently and more viciously): “oh isnt he just adorable 🥺”

I believe this wholeheartedly. I work for an mcsp, and we have a client who runs a chain of “news” sites. They are buying a bunch of AI server equipment for their racks and we are almost 100% certain its to pump out garbage for the election.
