Anyone know what the embargo that wound up lasting 3 months was about? I’m assuming a security vulnerability that is now fixed?


In addition, the special protection of sensitive data like health data, political views or sexual orientation would be significantly reduced. Also, remote access to personal data on PCs or smart phones without consent of the user would be enabled.
The authoritarians can’t get Chat Control passed so they’re trying this instead?


I have some friends with the last name Raper. The oldest brother was able to make an account on Hotmail that was firstnamelastname@hotmail. A few years later I was with the middle brother when he tried to setup the same for himself but was told it had disallowed words. Although he used his middle initial C in the attempt which put “crap” in the username, I don’t think that was the disallowed word.


I thought Misskey and its forks already supported quote posts?
I think I’ve bought from 7digital a time or two in the past and had no problems. Obviously there are issues with Amazon as a company, but I think they were the first big name to offer DRM-free MP3 purchases and I used it a lot back when it first launched, especially since they offered a selection of albums each month for just $5. They should have most mainstream music available for purchase, depending on which country you’re in. According to this Wikipedia page listing music stores they only offer 256 kbps MP3 but I was sure most if not all were upgraded to 320 kbps now, although of course you would have to re-download anything if you had downloaded the lower-quality version previously. That Wikipedia page is a good link to other stores as well, with a number I’d never heard of including specialty stores.
Also, along with someone else’s comment mentioning ripping CDs like the old days, check to see if you have a local record store. It’s been a mantra since at least the Gen-X days to “support your local scene.” I know in Raleigh the longtime staple Schoolkids Records is still alive and kicking, although their Chapel Hill store closed last year. It might take some digging but it can be worth seeing if there’s a local store in your area.
Not having done much with Signal, is there a way to create local backups?
Self-hosting there are some ways to fight back, or depending on your opinions on Cloudflare it seems they’re fairly effective at blocking the AI crawlers.
There’s actually a surprising amount of free static website hosting out there. Besides GitHub, GitLab, Cloudflare, and Netlify come to mind offhand.
Just stick a Mac mini in the case and call it a day!
I was about to hit send on this, then looked it up and realized you could actually stick one in the 5.25” bays, although it would take two of the standard “half height” bays—or at least some extra height in the case—because it would be too tall by less than half an inch. I would not be surprised if someone has already done this.
Phone projection for navigation has been significantly better than any built-in navigation on any car I’ve ever driven. The vehicle screens are typically larger than a phone screen so that’s a really nice feature to me.


I’ve known about Linux since the late ’90s; I haven’t been around any significant concentration of people talking about it and how to use it until I joined Lemmy.
I’ve only seen that kind of keyboard for iPhone; what model is this?


It looks like you’ve missed Aria for Misskey, which was updated as recently as yesterday


I haven’t used them in a while, but they were always our backup when I was in TV news. Probably should make sure my colleagues know since I’m sure basically every TV station and production company would not want this.


Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.


It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?


Don’t worry, Facebook still creates a shadow profile to know who you are and track you
Yes, that is surprising; I’m fairly certain they were involved in developing Bonjour also
