If you execute random, non media file formats that u got from a torrent then thats on you.

Have you tried 535 yet? I would do that before trying to experiment with other installation pathways.

lemmy is my first and only social account (unless you consider software forums or gitlab lol)

Matrix too but not using that in a social media way, only as a direct messenger.

Not without cracking it open to swap the battery.

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.

Perhaps. Overall Bluesky is massive already tho. Twitter has something like 220 million users with Bluesky being around 14 million. Having 6% of the user count of Twitter is already beyond critical mass for the average user. People will be able to satisfy their microblogging itch on bluesky which means they wont go back. It has all the drama, porn and politics that twitter had.

Yeah sadly it just broke things for me. I appreciate the general idea but if it breaks games on stable debian then its not ready for release. You can turn off the new runtime environment system by launching steam from the terminal like so:

steam -compat-force-slr off

No, and it doesnt federate even though they promised that a long time ago. Unless they do, they will inevitably also go to shit, there is no way around the enshittification pipeline. Just stick to mastodon and invest in a long term future.

For a slightly more detailed explanation: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/#tie-yourself-to-a-federated-mast

This is additional new users not total users. Growing by 0.67% of the user count of the largest microblogging platform in the world in a week is absolutely massive.

Are you a parrot?

Yeah im glad you could enjoy it. My brain is just wired wrong i think.

This is kinda lame but i feel like i would have zero apettite in that situation. I would just feel vaguely disgusted at the gluttony surrounding me thinking about all food that would be thrown away afterwards.

Nobody specified the value per leaf. Even if it was 1 cent per leaf people would be planting fuckloads of trees just to make money of the leaves every year.

Have the same gpu and had same issue give me a second to find the solution again.

Now back at PC:

Right so i searched for a while back when i got those issues and the only solution that really worked for me was installing 550 instead. Idk how PopOS / ubuntu does things. So doing this could be easy or super fucking annoying.

depending on the repo you are using for the nvidia driver, you might be able to specify the driver version during install like so:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550

I am on debian12 and installing from repo didnt work for me as there were lots of dependencies that had version conflicts. I ended up installing it with the .run file which is really tedious.

Im gonna be honest tho the chance that this will fix your issue is not that high. Nvidia problems are so fucking diverse and could be due to any number of specific system component and package combinations. But if its already broken, might as well try right?

Good luck with your software endeavors!

This stuff is hard to get into, especially so if you don’t already know all the specific terms to find what you are looking for. But having control over your own data and being able to decide where it resides is worth the effort to me.

Just use any other email provider that works for you and use standard OpenPGP to encrypt your emails. This is how email end to end encryption (e2ee) usually works.

As long as the emails are properly e2ee, no email provider is “more private” than others. They can always see who your are emailing and when. Proton is still forced to give out all your metadata to the cops just like any other service.

Also if whoever you are emailing isnt using protonmail, or another PGP compatible client, then your emails arent actually encrypted at all. For work emails the other party usually wont be using any of that so there is no point, for personal stuff i would honestly use standard messengers that have encryption built in like matrix, signal, session.

If you want e2ee email tho, then on desktop Thunderbird has all the OpenPGP stuff built in and for mobile there is the K9-Mail client that can be coupled with the openkeychain plugin to offer encryption.

There are also things like DeltaChat that allow you to use email in an instant messaging style format while using the same encryption keys that you use for standard emails. But tbh thats not what email is intended for, i would just use matrix for that.

Protonmail is a decent attempt at offering “easy to use” encryption but by doing so, makes it overly complex from a software security and compatibility standpoint.

With e2ee you want to have the absolute minimum level of complexity and code to make it easy to audit and understand. PGP has been the standard implementation for email encryption for decades. Any attempt to “expand” on this by implementing fancy web based shenanigans undermines the simplicity and inter compatibility of the preexisting email encryption ecoystem that everyone has been using.

Is the current generation of street view still just snapshots from different positions with a 360° camera? I thought it was proper 3D scans with images mapped onto it by now. I admit i havent actually used it in years.

But yeah if its just isolated 2D images then its probably not as much as i thought. The processing would still be tough i think but i dont know enough to even guess that properly.

I think doing small scale demonstrations would be cool. The community would probably be able to learn and improve from it a lot and eventually it could be scaled up.

Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.

Its of course totally “technically” possible, but it would require some veeery generous donations from some pretty rich people.

Even if you get people to use their phones to just record everything around them, geo-tag it and upload it. All that data would still have to be stitched together by some big ass GPU cluster that does things that currently only big tech companies can do properly at scale.

Gathering street view like data, processing it, running the service and keeping it up to date would require millions if not billions of dollars/euros in capturing equipment, server farms, wages, electricity, lawfirms.

If you want something thats compareable to the google service, its entirely impossible to do it with a project structure like osm has.

Even if someone had the funding to get started, they would most likely get bought out by google or apple or microsoft very quickly once they got comparable results.

Lots of lucky ones i guess
