fuck paying Nintendo for life. I hope he can move to a country where Nintendo won't be able to enforce anything and start a new life. He committed a victimless crime which shouldn't even be a crime IMO and even worse, he was imprisoned for it. And now he has to live as a slave for Nintendo the rest of his life?

I don't really know which countries would legally shield him from Nintendo's bullshit tho.

This is like the third different new battery technology I've seen today.

I'll believe it when it's available for purchase.

I'd argue the system is working quite well, every individual and/or community has the liberty to choose what to do about Meta.

That's what federation is all about, no central power taking decisions in behalf of everyone else.

the discussion is happening here: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73

Someone working at Proton has commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.

If you want my personal take:

It's very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form, which I see as an attack on freedom, journalism and activism.

I'm not a fan of Protonmail of any sort and in fact I consider that their privacy is lacking... but I really hope they can talk some sense into this guy. This block list seems to be used by a lot of webs that will start blocking virtually every private email provider.

(Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don't seem to have a "contributor" or "owner" badge, so idk. Maybe they are just very angry at privacy and anonymity on the internet)

this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.

the thumbnail is just cringe. more of a script kiddie vibe than a real programmer.

this makes use of an old windows specific vulnerability. Linux is only mentioned on the title, not again in the whole article. clickbait.

edit: downvote me if you want, but the original article didn't say a thing about Linux.

As long as this allows running local, free software models I don't see the drawback of including this.

My main issue with ChatGPT and similar products is that they use my data to train their models. Running a model locally (like Llama) solves this problem, but running LLM models require extremely powerful GPUs, specially the bigger ones like Llama 70b.

So dedicated hardware for this is a nice thing for those that want it.

basically Newpipe but only source available, not really free software or open source, so they are restricting your freedoms.

Just keep using Newpipe instead.

the answer is yes, unless you're on GrapheneOS. Google Services is a privileged app and therefore it can bypass permissions as it sees fit.

GrapheneOS (optionally) installs it as a unprivileged app, which you can restrict permissions to. Still, I wouldn't recommend installing it since they have extensive telemetry.

As a long term Firefox user, I've been disappointed with Mozilla's decisions in the recent years, but this is awesome. This is the kind of features Firefox should be receiving instead of useless UI changes.

Let's be honest, Gmail, being a Google service, was condemned to have an awful UI which can't work without loading megabytes of JS into your browser.

The good news are that they still support mail clients, which everyone should be using except for those occasions you're working from a device you do not own.

The bad news are that Gmail still analyzes your emails in the server side, and uses them to serve you tracking ads and train AI models. So maybe switching providers altogether is a better option for those who have a choice.
