I/you

Pick one.

I was the first person to post on the pluriverse in 2008.

Rethink does not require you to use their own DNS. You can choose from several or just use the system DNS.

In addition, it has on-device blocklist where you import rules from various public lists. Just like a desktop ad blocker.

And, of course, I have a VPN configured by downloading a wire guard config file from Mullvad and importing it into Rethink.

Thanks! I just got Rethink setup last night. I was able to import my actual VPN into it, and it works great!

I use KeePassDX’s “Magikeyboard” to type everything. I have an entry with every character in it as a custom field. My phone doesn’t have any other keyboard installed, so in order to use the keyboard you first have to unlock my database with a fingerprint.

Firewalled how? Custom ROM? Custom apk? Normal Android non-root firewall app? I’d like to know more.

Are you not updating it regularly? They said, “Don’t update for long enough…”

Is it possible the heavy traffic is causing Lemmy to temporarily block this person and not actually crashing the instance?

You don’t count using YouTube scrapers as de-googling because Google might make it break some day? That makes no sense.

I by way the Debian use.

On Android, entering lockdown mode does the same thing. You can do it by pressing volume-up and power at the same time, then tapping Lockdown.

It works now. It definitely didn’t before when using Sync for Lemmy. That kind of mistake wouldn’t have worked on the reddit website either. I had seen it a million times. Not sure if the Lemmy web site would handle it right.

Both versions work on my end.

I’m surprised to hear that.

Markdown libraries normally see the closing parenthesis in the URL as the end of the link markdown syntax of [text](link). You had [text](link(stuff)) which is parsed as [text](link(stuff) A smarter markdown parser could handle it, so whatever app you were using might do that.

When a link contains parentheses, you have to escape them… or else.

‘find’ goes back a long way

• (W)INE (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator. It’s not a virtual environment either. It’s just a compatibility layer that wires up calls to Windows libraries to their Linux counterparts. Proton is an enhanced fork of WINE.
• Sleep mode is just… sleep mode, and consumes 10% of your battery per day.
• DosBox runs on Windows, too.
• The Steam Deck is a weak ass PC. I love mine, but it does not compare to a modest gaming PC.

I haven’t gamed on Windows since buying my Deck, but you’re testimonial here isn’t very convincing. It’s a portable gaming device that requires a dock (or hub) to even play on a monitor. It’s underpowered by design. Not even all top Steam games run on it.

Welcome to my block list. I guess I’m power tripping.

Wow, you have sold me on installing Nix next. I’m a programmer and this sounds dreamy!

Am I stupid? How is this in any way confusing?

I kept re-reading this line and it made no sense. All I need to do to claim ownership of a project is merge a pull-request? Do I own Laravel because I’ve gotten a pull request merged? (emphasis mine)

Merging a pull request and having a pull request merged are two completely different things, and one very much requires you to own the project or have contributor rights to it. Which is exactly what the scammer is looking for proof of.

How was the author confused by this? Or am I somehow the dummy here?

You’re missing some key facts:

1. A lot of music on YouTube is fully licensed and uploaded by the owners or Google themselves. Like VEVO music, for instance.
2. Google runs a content match algorithm on all uploads to detect music and movies. If you upload more than four seconds of a song, Google will detect it and transfer all monitization of that upload to the rights holder. This is why music documentaries like Trash Theory only have frustratingly short clips of the music they are talking about, and why channels like Techmoan, which documents weird music formats and playback devices, can also only share extremely short clips.

The rights holders are getting any and all money on music uploaded to YouTube, and your entire premise is flawed.
