  • Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively'

    Jump

  • Yeah. I have similar feelings. And I don’t think the social media fervor is helping things sometimes. There needs to be a certain level of precision in what is being asked for, and I see lots of broad statements about what laws should prevent from happening from random individuals. Using words like “kill switches” when required servers are taken offline. Or demanding every game have a direct networking mode or LAN options in addition to matchmaking or platform facilitated matchmaking.

  • Archive dot is shouldn’t be used. The person who runs it is a nutter who attacks websites with it. They also modify archives.

  • They finally fixed the spam problem.

  • Backblaze silently redefines 'unlimited' backups and users discover it's not backing up DB and OD — as firm leans heavier into AI storage services, changes could signal shift away from home backups

  • You’re talking to the crowd where if it can be done, it should be done, and bragged about. Sadly.

  • Apple CLI command to mount an SMB share that isn't abysmally slow

    Jump

  • It’s difficult to know of any random person is differentiating between Intel Macs or not when they say Apple silicon these days. This is the first I’ve heard of this.

    I experience SMB slowness over the internet, but not locally, on my Intel and ARM Macs. (I’m forced to use smb over the internet via VPN for work.)

    I’m gonna try these commands sometime this week to see if it improves things.

  • Why is this better than what you do with the Finder GUI? I’d just like to understand the mechanism.

  • I already use dns level blocking. I don’t think that works for this specific case.

    I just wish there was a way to log in and set my cookies in the electron app. It’s only frustrating for me because I pay.

  • Ads are the real problem. At least for people who pay for premium. You can’t be logged in to prevent them. AFAIK.

  • FCC just handed Netgear a de facto router monopoly in the US

  • lol, IIRC a government agency said TP-Link is not trustworthy.

  • YouTube Premium is getting pricier

    Jump

  • YouTube is the new cable, and it will take monumental effort to dethrone it. Hosting video at this scale is expensive. And people loathe having to go to multiple places to get video. Users, including people on Lemmy, want all of their video entertainment on one platform. They hate multiple subscriptions. They hate having their games in multiple storefronts.

    There are user behaviors that enable these bad things to happen. And people need to start ranting about these factors and educating people about how multiple platforms are good, actually. Multiple options for account servers are good, actually. Multiple video hosts are good, actually. Paying creators for content is good.

    The solution is not to hack YouTube and put a different front end on their infrastructure.

  • YouTube Premium is getting pricier

    Jump

  • You mean front ends to YouTube infrastructure? Or stuff like Loops? One of those two are cool, the other is unsustainable if it were to get popular. Well, maybe both? I guess it depends on how the FOSS infrastructure works about.

  • Freedom of speech not freedom of reach. New laws would have to be made that force private companies to publish the work of others with no restrictions.

  • Pete Hegseth Is Trying to Resegregate the Military

    Jump

  • That’s a good way to keep people closed minded and trained. When they are not exposed to people different from them, they can keep their bigoted ignorant thoughts.

  • They craved the reach.

    This is what convinces many people to stay. They desire the attention. And the accounts desperate for attention range from big companies, to small artists.
