Because God forbid using anything other than their own generated subs. Or to have options.

If that’s a push to their AI systems, while AI has its uses, when coincidences or fuck ups are too consistent, it may not be either anymore. And thus it feels like Google is trying to tarnish AI to the point even supporters move away from it.

To the OP: since diggita uses Lemmy, I’d suggest setting the post language to Italian when posting in that language. That’d let users leverage their instances’ language filter settings.

And a translation by Google of the article:

Beyond the blackout: Digital Apartheid is born

According to Filterwatch reports also reported by The Guardian, the Iranian regime is developing a plan to turn access to the global web into a "government privilege".

Instead of blocking specific sites, the regime is reportedly implementing a “white list”: that way, only domestic services hosted on the National Information Network (NIN) would be allowed to function.

Access to the web could only be granted to previously "screened" and authorized individuals and institutions, creating a system of digital apartheid.

According to some testimonies, it seems that the network seems active (the signal icon is there), but the data does not flow or the connection "pulses" (disconnects every few seconds), a technique used to discourage the use of VPNs.

The report would confirm the total collapse of e-commerce and domestic logistics as “collateral damage” necessary to maintain political control and prevent protest coordination by completing the infrastructure necessary for a permanent detachment from the World Wide Web, replacing it with a fully surveilled national network.

It could be the end of the “open” internet in Iran, replaced by a closed network that serves as both a tool of surveillance and a weapon of political isolation.```

Post implies Kićinski was part of the problem, but didn’t he leave CD Projekt back in 2010?

Never tested Grayjay on an as old of a system, but maybe try it with the community-made Jellyfin plugin?

Also energy consumption in such cases is bound to skyrocket.

Reading the article, it’s so many conditions to be uninstallable I fear even Bill Gates himself couldn’t.

On the question: throw a dice and hope you don’t piss off too many people :v

Why handle files? Let big bro Microsoft handle them for you.

Heroic has a log tab in the settings iirc. Also this same log is generated when running from the terminal. You can launch them from Wine or forks, or through steam steam://launch/appid_goes_here/Dialog

Also, if you’d be interested and/or you have games outside of Steam, Heroic Launcher has a compatibility layer manager that lets you install and swap around different versions (and forks) of Wine. Only installs to Heroic though, not system-wide or directly to Steam (though you can add external games to Heroic).

Not all too knowledgeable about Wine myself, but I’d imagine that like Windows, Wine must have its elements so tied together that updating something could potentially break something else. So on a hypothetical example, if you update how Wine interprets Vulkan API calls, you could end up breaking how it interpret Direct3D calls, as, to my knowledge, both do more or less the same thing, except Direct3D is much older.

RSS’s a big for me and had been considering originally using Mastodon + RSS Parrot. But though I don’t like the UI of Friendica, its native tracker bot function sounds rather interesting. 👀

Thinking here, the site engine I’d pick for daily use would probably be Mbin. But as I hear it is a bit of a processing hog, running it and a Friendica instance on the same device would maybe be too much for the device, so maybe I should buy another Raspberry Pi or some other SBC for it.

Tangencial comment, but as I’d presume your instance is running on a Linux server (usually sites are), maybe check with ncdu (if available) which folders are the biggest?

Also on the images issue pointed by another user, maybe also see if Lemmy now has a solution for it, or if any of the alternatives do.

Maybe there’s a way to import contents through federation? Just, if both run on the same hardware when doing it (possibly the new instance on a subdomain), both would run way slower.

Directly compatible with Lemmy, there’s Friendica (Facebook-like; also compatible with Twitter-like posts e.g. from Mastodon), Mbin (simplified/cleaner UI; also hybrid like Friendica), and PieFed (apparently more Reddit-like than Lemmy from what I read, in a technical sense).

Dunno which are better/worse to run, but I remember seeing hardware requirements on the docs of each of them.

Also it’s not uncommon to see single user instances from my experience. But if you feel it’s a waste of domain/resources, you could also create some dedicated community or something to give further use for it.

I remember coming across a tool for Linux which works somewhat similar, Iirc called AutoKey (I remember the name confusing both me and Google, so that’s probably it). However, AutoHotKey uses its own language and as is more popular, it has more materials available, while AutoKey uses Python but last I checked, it was hard finding anything, so raw Python knowledge may be needed.

I reinstall mine around 2 times a year, partly habit, partly some time I accidentally fuck up. Not counting the time to download the installation media, and though I become faster at setting things as I like each time, best I do is still some 2 hours. For someone not used to the environment or even just starting, I’d easily expect it to be much longer.

KOReader (ebook reader)

Though clearly not designed for small screens, since I have a somewhat long read queue and it can sort by read progress, it helps a bunch.

This appears to be the whole article:
