I dunno, I only have Mull on my phone. I used Firefox through my PC to access it.

I have Mull + uBlock, can confirm the issue

Mano, não sei se foi intencional ou não, mas aqui é uma instância internacional, meio que não vão interagir por não ser em inglês. Tem o !tecnologia@lemmy.eco.br que é de uma instância 100% BR.

Yeah, but there’s also the term “freeware”, which means closed source but free to use.

I’ll edit my comment for clarity, thanks for the heads up.

Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, “freeing the code”.

You mean it the other way, right? Because these companies you defend use the free labor of voluntary developers from the community, which spend hours and hours developing features, fixing bugs and what not, directly or indirectly. That’s how open source works.

When these companies change the project license to a closed source one, they’re basically saying a big “f*** you” to the community. Forking the latest open source version of the repository is nothing more than an effort to keep things the way they were.

huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future

Linux is FOSS, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you redistribute it without modifying the license. Android does that; every GNU/Linux distribution does that. That’s how it works.

if a license says “you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$”

What you’re describing is “freeware”, what this post is discussing is " open source software". There’s a giant gap between the two.

I think they mean EA Anti-Cheat, not Easy Anti-Cheat. The former, which is used in 2042, does not run under linux (and probably never will).

BFV runs out-of-the-box on linux systems and has a “Gold” rating on ProtonDB. If EA really goes on with this, BFV will become unplayable, just like 2042.

Shit Smoke, did the C.R.A.S.H. make you sell us out?

Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).

Merry Christmas OP! I’ll pick Persona 5 Royal

Here’s what made me happy this year:

• I got married!
• I landed my first job as a programmer (and got promoted a month after)

Happy holidays everyone

Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.

I don’t remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it’s a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.

I’m currently using qBittorrent in “mixed mode” (clearnet + i2p), and honestly it’s amazing, even though there’s no current DHT implementation for i2p. Sure, you have to configure your client to automatically add the i2p trackers and everything, but it’s a huge step forward IMO.

I’ve also tested how one could “transfer” clearnet torrents to i2p and it went pretty well, even though you have to modify the original .torrent file to be accepted in some i2p trackers (I used postman tracker to test it, and they only accept torrents which all announce URLs are within i2p).

In general, I’ve found qBittorrent’s implementation pretty stable and suitable for day-to-day use, even though it lacks some features.

It’s not enabled in the 4.6 beta version, I think they’ll keep it that way

Yes, we used to be.

Source: I’m Brazilian

First off, thank you for your great response.

And yeah, I kinda get that “United States” is just a title, but in my native language (portuguese) we have a specific word for americans: “estadunidense”, which basically means “person born in the USA”

I was just wondering if there was a similar word in english that could be used specifically to these people, just like we have in portuguese. But again, thanks for your answer.

Also, fun fact: Brazil was actually called “United States of Brazil” for a short period, and our flag looked like a copy of yours, but in yellow and green. But then our king (thankfully) decided to go just by “Brazil”

Yeah, it doesn’t add up. Why would one go to the restricted access distributor if they can get a lot more by pirating?

Why can’t we have nice things? These people are literally just archiving and preserving old media, and if I recall correctly, they have strict rules of sharing these archived media.

I kinda understand why they got sued by Wiley/HarperCollins due to breaking the rules of sharing unlimited copies of archived books, but this time it doesn’t look like it.

Honestly, I hope Internet Archive survives all these lawsuits they’re dealing with

Sorry if it sounded rude (and yeah, it was kind of a rant, sorry). What I’m trying to say is: these people do much worse things and don’t bother to say “sorry” publicly. The only way to make them behave is to fine them by a huge amount, just like Norway did.
