It doesn’t seem like there’s any enforcement method, just “social influence”.

In other words, they made a scoreboard.

You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

Annas archive exists

Make a plugin to a non-vim editor that properly emulates the vim experience, with the non-vim GUI.

Or, if that doesn’t work well enough, fork them.

Failing that, you could just accept your fate. I love my neovim install.

It’s a bit of a false dichotomy, there’s a broad spectrum in both.

A lot of the benefit of religion doesn’t come from the beliefs itself, but the community around them. You could just have a community built around other things, or even a religion that doesn’t mandate theism (UU’s and Quakers come to mind, they have fairly large atheist populations. There’s also less “serious” religions, like TST).

It’s not really something we can do, sadly. Reddit closing it’s API was more about getting money than actually stopping it’s use as a training set.

Having an allow-list is a start though, as it means that a company can’t just make an instance and suck all the data out through that. Common corporate crawlers could be added to the robots.txt, but that would mean that you might not be able to find lemmy instances in search results. We could make it against ToS, but what are we going to do, sue the massive corporation? They have plenty of lawyer and payout money, so very little would fundamentally change.

Ultimately, if content can be served to us, it can be served to them.

I almost thought you were that bot that changes youtube links to invidious ones, lol.

Yeah, those tend to be good (well, tux.pizza is a bit of an exception, it shows the error that the others fixed). It’s a little annoying that a lot of the invidious instances that work won’t show up when you do the “switch instance” thing on an instance that doesn’t work, but it makes a bit of sense, not wanting to get overwhelmed, or trying to not get too noticed.

Yeah, youtube breaks things all too frequently, and a lot of the time these projects can’t push out updates fast enough. A lot of invidious instances sadly don’t work (as of the last time I checked them, a few days ago), but a few usually work because they merge patches before upstream does. inv[dot]nadeko[dot]net comes to mind.

Some banking apps won’t run without SafetyNet (technically now Play Integrity). Pure AOSP doesn’t have it, and AOSP distributions with sandboxed play services or whatever usually fail the hardware attestation requirements. There are some other reasons banking apps won’t work, but a lot of it is similar stuff.

Are her screeds deranged? Yeah. Are they interesting to read? Also yeah.

“We regret to inform you that, as of July 26, 2024, all Homeworkify services are permanently unavailable.”

Usually not worth it, the website usually has everything.

I’ve been surprised by how many banking apps I’ve seen that don’t require safteynet or google services (I thought basically all of them would require it). Some banks websites don’t work very well on mobile, so that’s some peoples reasoning.

A long, long time ago (before I can even remember, I was that young) I attempted to pick up something heavy, and fell into the corner of a wall (like, the outside, so it was pointy). I needed stitches, and I still have a scar.

The details I all got second hand, but I can still just barely see the scar.

If you’ve ever tried DMT, that’s what heaven is like.

Hell is basically a speedball gone wrong.

Why wouldn’t they be in the olympics? Unless a country is banned, it’s just something a country does. Even places that aren’t technically countries participate! There is 206 delegations at this years Olympics, and the UN only recognized a total of 195 nations.

I avoid it basically wherever possible, but sometimes people give me Amazon giftcards.

I don’t buy a huge amount of stuff off the internet, transacting in person is often more convenient. Imo Banggood, Aliexpress, dhgate, taobao, etc. are often some of the best alternatives, because a lot of Amazon is just selling that same stuff, but for more money.

the only dead giveaway is if they get doxxed

A “best dad” mug, but you cross out the “best”

probably? I feel like it would make more sense to ask someone else if I was nice (assuming you want an accurate response), given I might be a little biased.
