I did nothing and I’m all out of ideas!
The only two things I can currently think of are:
Honestly I’m not sure if it will help but I don’t have other ideas aside from purging the configuration, which is probably not the solution and unwarrented.
Another thing to try would be a search on the KDE bugtracker.
I didn’t know about this project, so I took a quick look around.
I didn’t see any mention of Telemetry or Metrics, but I assume they can use this:
After starting Tails and connecting to Tor, Tails Upgrader automatically checks if upgrades are available and then proposes you to upgrade your USB stick. The upgrades are checked for and downloaded through Tor.

Still, I just gave this a few minutes, so there could be more.
I’m not sure this is going to directly affect that, because their deal talks mainly about financing for the Control game, and the other news is about movie adaptations, so probably it is going to be another team, lead by the newly re-hired Hector Sanchez, working on that…
But who knows, this kind of things are always hard to follow from the outside
Actually Obtainium is mentioned (but thank you, checking back I saw I had a typo in the github link that I had missed, and I’ve now fixed it!), but this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?
You are right, and I forgot to add the link to it in the opening post. I’ll edit it in!
Silverbullet is like that. It is not an electron or native app, you have to run a server and then get to it from the browser.
TLDR it is best run with docker or podman, but IMHO it is pretty good.
It says it can lead to health issues… Not that it will… soooo…
I find it funny that this is the first video where I’m consistently getting the “This helps us protect our community” and “Log in to confirm that you are not a bot” errors while using an alternative Frontend.
I’m sure it’s just a random coincidence, but it is still funny to me.
This was an interesting question, so I took a quick dive in the docs, it seems it has an S3 integration to help with it, and some comments on the various supported services

Still, depending on the chosen provider and the amount of viewers, it could be quite costly
On the contrary, in my opinion if they are clearly labelled as a joke, they are a great way for people who don’t understand them to ask why and, in the process, being a little more informed on what not to do and what it’s dangerous.
Especially because there’s really no risk of emulation in this case.
Yeah. GDPR should have been implemented as a mandatory part of HTML or even HTTP that interacts with a builtin browser feature.
Well, it kind of is. The Do Not Track header has recently seen a court win in Germany (source):
It turned out that the judge agreed with vzbv, ruling that the social media giant is no longer allowed to warn users it doesn’t respect DNT signals. That’s because, under GDPR, the right to opt out of web tracking and data collection can also be exercised using automated procedures.
And it is basically the same in California too Source
GPC is a valid do-not-sell-my-personal-information signal according to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which stipulates that websites are legally required to respect a signal sent by users who want to opt-out of having their personal data sold.
Give technitium a go, my woes diminished drastically with that.
I have a Boox Nova Air which is still going strong after around 2 years, and honestly it’s pretty good for writing. But I heard a lot of people having problems with updates bricking the device or receiving a bad unit and having an hard time returning it, if bought directly from them. I did not have to talk with support and I avoided the updates, so I can’t say more about that. My experience is overall good with it.
I also have a Kobo Libra H2O that I think is nearing the 4 years mark, and is still going really strong. The biggest problem I had was that it asks for a kobo account during setup, thing that I really dislike. I don’t know if it is still like that.
But, generally, if you want an epub compatible reader that you can mod (NickelMenu etc) and easily side load stuff to, with a kobo libra you can’t go wrong. Even if, to be fair, I’m not up to date with the latest devices and company policies.
One note: the kindle format is pretty closed and all the stuff you buy from amazon is generally DRMed to hell, so it’s not certain that you can pass it to other readers. Just avoid amazon’s ebooks.
EDIT: One thing I missed: PDFs on the default kobo software are bad, the Boox default software for PDF is far better and - in my case - there’s a screen size difference too that can make my opinion biased. Aside from that for pure book reading kobo is generally better, but you need to buy a protective case for it: there are a lot of cheap and good quality compatible ones.
You should add some mushrooms in it.
I’m unsure about the keyboard but the caps are from the Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Elvish Keycap Set
I don’t know why but they are on a separate branch: 0.18.5_release_notes
Reading the commits it seems they want to keep them on join-lemmy, instead of having a changelog/releases file in the github.
They first added the 0.18.5 changes and then deleted the full content of the releases file and put to go to https://join-lemmy.org/news
I checked on their profile and indeed there is no veilidchat or similar repository.
Using the site search with duckduckgo it gives the same link that goes nowhere, so probably there was a repo but it got taken down? I’ve no idea.
This is getting weird.
If I would generate an image with an AI and then take a photo of it, I could copyright the photo, even if the underlying art is not copyrightable, just like the leaves?
So, in an hypothetical way, I could hold a copyright on the photo of the image, but not on the image itself.
So if someone would find the model, seed, inference engine and prompt they could theoretically redo the image and use it, but until then they would be unable to use my photo for it?
So I would have a copyright to it through obscurity, trying to make it unfeasible to replicate?
This does sound bananas, which - to be fair - is pretty in line with my general impression of copyright laws.
