Nintendo Issues Multiple DMCAs On The Modding Site 'GameBanana'
  • *Nintendont

    The lawsuit company which makes games on the side strikes again.

  • Removed
    wayland was a mistake
  • Wayland might be the future,
    but today we're still living in the present..

    I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
    but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

    Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn..

    E.g:

    • Grayed out screen under HDR
    • LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
    • Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
    • ...
  • Can I refuse MS Authenticator?
  • You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that's what I do.

  • Is it impossible to be private online?
  • Never give up,
    each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.

    It's a slow process and they'll grow more eyes,
    but the less they have on you,
    the more private you'll be.

  • Since DAI is currently being destroyed
  • Don't meddle with "stable-coins".
    They are pointless since they:

    • Do not replace fiat
    • Are not stable since inflation on fiat
    • Are more risky then fiat

    If you want a "stable-coin",
    just use fiat..

    Only crypto you should still care about these days is Monero.

  • MakerDAO is destroying DAI
  • Don't meddle with "stable-coins".
    They are pointless since they:

    • Do not replace fiat
    • Are not stable since inflation on fiat
    • Are more risky then fiat

    Only crypto you should still care about these days is Monero.

  • I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath
  • You can ditch YouTube,
    without actually ditching YouTube content,
    through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

    My favorite ones:

    • Desktop: Invidious + Piped
    • Android: Newpipe + Tubular
  • Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game
  • Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.

    Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.

    Albeit quite bugged at release,
    but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.

    The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened..

    An official modpack would have been much better.

  • Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game
  • My "nExT gEn" update experience:

    1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
    2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
    3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
    4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
    5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

    FYI, most mods I installed are from:

  • Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.
  • Correct me if I'm wrong,
    but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:

    • Proprietary pieces in their code
    • Telemetry (spyware)
    • Snap packages by default
  • Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I made a browser extension that enhances the ChatGPT UI
  • Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.

    If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I'm sure people would be much more interested.

  • Monero delisting for Kraken Germany
  • CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies),
    basically FIAT 2.0,
    but now with even less rights and privacy over your money.

  • The Yuzu repo is hosted on Radicle, an open source P2P GitHub alternative where repos are hosted and seeded across peoples locally running nodes
  • Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.
    https://suyu.dev/

    They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
    https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

    Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.

    I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
    then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

  • How many communities do you have blocked?
  • How do you think news sites earn money? They do not provide that content for free,
    you are their product of which they benefit.

    I use NoScript,
    which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).

  • How many communities do you have blocked?
  • Each article,
    links to a news site,
    which is riddled with data trackers,
    which collects info about you,
    which is sold.

    In addition the sites contain advertisements.

  • How many communities do you have blocked?
  • Only these 2:

    Because they:

    • Spam up your feed
    • Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
    • Try to manipulate you
  • A rude awakening – Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD (Nintendo Switch)
  • Citra, internal resolution x9,
    and you've got yourself an early access to this :)

    No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.

  • What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?
  • Points that can help them change to FOSS:

    • Cool new features not available in proprietary alternatives
    • Awareness of privacy risks & issues
    • Battery life improvements
    • Storage size reduction
    • Security improvements

    Sites that can help them find FOSS alternatives:

    In my experience it's extremely hard to make someone not interested in software to try out new FOSS apps though..

  • Suyu moved to Forgejo
    git.suyu.dev Suyu Git

    Suyu Git: Repository for Suyu development and yuzu archives.

    Suyu Git

    After the DMCA takedown on Github/Gitlab, Suyu (the active fork of Yuzu)

    Moved to their own Forgejo instance.

    Forgejo or Radicle - Which do you prefer?

    Just finished writing out a lengthy comment, with the up/downsides I can see on each of the code forges I currently deem promising, on the Github Discussion "Alternatives to GitHub"

    And I was wondering, out of following 2, which code forge would you guys prefer and why?

    Help preserve Yuzu's code base

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12733354

    As you all know or may not know, Nintendo has taken down Yuzu, see following post for more info on that: https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

    Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu, so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little, an active fork can stick it's head up.

    After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines of yuzu-emu/yuzu, I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago as of writing this post:

    • https://dev.azure.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/_build
    • https://dev.azure.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/_build/results?buildId=26300&view=results

    Which tells us that the latest commit, was a merge of PR #13198 from zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

    This fork, is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit done to Yuzu before the take down: https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

    I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork, not only the master branch, but all branches! The more copies floating out there, the better the project will be preserved.

    You can pull the code base to your local machine, with: bash git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git (Requires https://git-scm.com/)

    And you can pull in all the branches, as described in this Github Gist: https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

    PSMD in Citra looking neat!

    Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, through Citra Canary v2798 with:

    And I gotta say, I'm happily impressed by how good it looks! Apart from the low resolution font/texts, I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

    Edit: I disabled the High Resolution Textures, because they cause:

    • Random game freezes in connection orb screens
    • Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
    • Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

    Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

    Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

    Real AI does not exist yet, atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models), which do not think on their own, but pass turing tests (fool humans into thinking that they can think).

    Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword, created by rich capitalistic a-holes, who already invested in LLM stocks, and now are looking for a profit.

    [Guide] Improve your Lemmy feed!

    Hi all 👋

    Here with a small guide for the Eternity app for Lemmy, on how to setup your own custom filters, so you can weed out unwanted content 🙂

    Motivation: I was getting sick of my feed being bombarded with war related content.. So in this guide, that's what we'll be filtering out.

    Guide: => Open Eternity app => Tap Hamburger menu icon (Top left) => Tap Settings => Tap Post Filter => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Fill in: Post Filter Name = No War => Fill in: Title: Exclude Keywords = Gaza,Hamas,Israel,Palestine,Pakistan,Ukraine,Russia => Tap Save icon (Top right) => Tap new No War filter => Tap Apply To => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Subscribed => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Search => Tap Back Arrow (Top left) => Close / re-open Eternity app

    This was just an example, adjust as desired + can create filters for whatever you (don't) want 😉
