I'll have to thanks Lumen contributors (Google first). I'm not worried about Google de-indexing them, but I'm,more worried about others (I have experienced lacking result on DuckDuckGo (and Bing, that they use) over what I can only assume is wrongfull (and non-transparent) DMCA (first with ListenBrainz).

I've switched to Brave. Work better.

Well, I'm not that pessimist, at least not on those 2 points. I hardly see how CSP would prevent addon to do their stuff, as CSP is protection against cross site attacks, and extension aren't sites (thought I actually remember having an issue like that once making an extension, but correcting the extensio's permissions solved it).

And DRMs only apply on the video stream. It won't protect the webpage or the javascript. Plus there are content on youtube that they are contractually required to not put behind DRMs.

What I'm worried youtube will do is simply that their server will refuse to send the video until a certain time after the user load the page, thid time corresponding to a bit less than the time the user would wait by playing ads.

It won't force the user to watch ads. But it'll deincensitive it by a certain amount.

This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).

FYI, arm can already handle most Open Source Software with no problem as far compiling them is concerned. In particular, Qt and GTK does work, and cross compiling too is very easy. Not that it's necessary anyway (aside of probably faster compilation unless you have really good ARM CPU). In particular, QEMU have qemu-user (if you didn't know), which basically Rosetta for Linux, but with a good performance hit when testing cross-compiled code.

Edit: In my opinion, what will switch the faster to a non-x86 on a large scale (for computers, not counting phones, tablet and microcontroller, not using them anyway) are servers. A lot of them use standard open source software, so switching might be pretty easy if the package manager abstract it (like... All of those I know).

I mean, certain cloud provider are starting to offer renting such servers (and not speaking of all those hacker who host server on raspi (and then those who use standard linux on mobile phone too))

According to this article, NVidia has a 80% market share over Discrete GPUs. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-retained-80-discrete-gpu-market-share-amd-20-in-q2-2022-despite-gaming-revenue-losses/

That certainly count as monopoly (wonder how igpu goes, but I’ll guess it’s AMD’s who’s first).

Plus they tried to buy ARM recently.

And in France, it’s not monopoly that’s illegal, but company in such situation have more legal restriction due to their potential bad influence on the market compared to smaller companies.

I’ve been using for a few months. Here is my opinion:

  • Translation quality is still far from good, but is good enought to be understandable.
  • Can’t translate PDF files (hope it could do it in the future, even if that mean reflowing it)
  • The extension allowed to keep translating this tab. That’s a future that, in my opinion, would be highly appreciated in the built-in translator (instead of enabling the "always translate").
  • The language choice doesn’t correspond with what I usually need (which is chinese. But I know chinese is notably hard to translate.)
  • It seems that translation into french first goes thought a first pass of english translation. While this still produce readable result, targeting english is for now probably the best option (even thought the cost of implementing a new language translation pair doesn’t seems too high, I understand they might prioritise adding more language, at least for now. Actually, I should probably contribute to this myself if I care as much about it)

That seems pretty interesting mix of the performance of Wifi with the more multi-connection side of Bluetooth. I have yet to see what would support it (or even if there is a generic protocol for things like headset, game controller, screen, remote, media player, etc), but it seems to be the missing technology for wireless haptic feedback controller on PC.

(edit: yes, joycon can do it, but it’s a special case where they does not pass raw audio)

When you have a website, you also provide the processing power for executing JavaScript and rendering HTML+CSS.

Why they would prefer an app (that's by definition less compatible) is unknown for me, but I can attempt to guess it's simpler for some reason.

I feel like it might be interested to add this. Said "bridge" on OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.78168/-81.28259

There’s a few photos from this article. It’s a dirt road, somewhere where you should (and he probably did) drive slowly.

I plan to start working on my small setup for personal use. While I'm already pretty on certain on what I'll use on the software side (2 different server with CEPH in network, with an erasure coding (k=2 and k+m=4))

I plan to start with 4 4TiB HDD (plus maybe a small SSD for cache). I already have two laptops with broken screen laying around, and would like, to minimize initial investement, reuse them, and just them into the USB's connection (and connect them with a switch via Ethernet, plus maybe an overlay network if it work well)

I would like to know if someone have recommandation for getting these hard drive? For tax avoidance reason, it is important for them to be internal HDD (as they are considerably less taxed than USB HDD for stupid reason)

Here is some small cuties (lemmy.mariusdavid.fr)

So... It happened that I work with the ponies, and there was that funny animated image "oooooo you like mares? ur a marekisser" that was commonly shared around the Discord server we use for organisation.

So, I worked on a pixel art version of this (a good training experience), and it was decided to put it near the small one. And here it is.

(the small was here before us, but it looks nice too)

Usually, maintaining a server doesn't take much time once set-up. I personally use NixOS to manage my server, but it's very complicated, and I would not recommend it to a non-developer. However, there is tools/OS called YUNoHost, that is able automatically set up a bunch of services including lemmy and mastodon.

They also provide a free third level domain name (or can use your own, but do it before installing Mastodon or Lemmy, as it'll break federatio.), but you'll need to provide a server. You can rent one (I use an OVH VPS), but you may also just use a spare computer at home, or buy a cheap one (Everything that isn't a slow HDD should work well). I'm unsure about what capacity you need to plan for storage thought.

You should also probably make sure your ISP provide a static IP (that may disabled by default) and that they allow to configure port forwarding (can be found in the router settings usually).

Also, don't forget to set up an automatic backup system. YUNoHost probably recommend something in that matter.

I have subscribed to a bunch of communities, some more active than other. It seems the front page, with all subscribed community appears qorted by active/hot, only show a few of the most active communities, making other less active ones not appear here, even yhought there are content posted. (mostly visible with !news@beehaw.org and !technology@beehaw.org).

I there a way to somehow reduce the ranking of these communities so more niche content have more chance to appear in the front page?

Thanks.

Well... I can cite a few laws. First, the part that protect DRM, second, the law that require search engines to make contract to quote article, third, the interest in policing private communication, and last, a project that isn’t really advanced to infringe net neutrality.

I doubt a US citizen will be shocked about them. But they are likely to dislike them.

(but I tend to see the greener side of "for 1 bad things, 2 good things come next")
