mull = problematic Firefox installation?
  • Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They're just trying to reach as many people as possible.

  • Old School RuneScape player says 'see ya at a million!' after pickpocketing 500,000 NPCs in a doomed quest for treasure under multiple self-imposed restrictions
  • They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

    What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn't have...

    Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

  • do you know anyone who uses Only Fans for G-rated work?
  • OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.

    That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.

  • Let’s make games open source, so future generations can enjoy them
  • What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It's not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it's still pretty good.

  • Shadows: Awakening free to keep on GOG
  • Be aware, it's not free as in costs $0, it's free as a "Giveaway," where you must accept these terms:

    By clicking the ‘Add to library’ button, I agree to receive marketing communications from GOG and CD PROJEKT on my email address and through GOG services and GOG’s Trusted Partners’ services, to get Shadows: Awakening. See our Privacy policy.

    Why do so many people still hate GrapheneOS?
  • The guy you were replying to is saying "People hate GrapheneOS because it requires a Pixel," they were not saying "everyone in the world should be using a Pixel" as you seem to have mistaken.

    You're getting very fired up and heated in the comments here... maybe take a break?

    Why do so many people still hate GrapheneOS?
  • He did not really step down, it was just a symbolic public gesture. He's still actively contributing to the project, check the GitHub commits and comments. He just stopped having so many Twitter meltdowns.

  • "Designed to better support our users"
  • Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn't interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.

    Now I use AVNC. It's solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it's open source! You can get it on FDroid.

  • I'd like an easy install for a lemmy instance
  • It should still work!

    I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn't had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn't released yet, but when it is, I'll make sure the deployment is up to date.

    Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn't for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.

  • Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT
  • I don't think I've been banned, but I did a similar thing. I requested all my data from Reddit, then used that list of comment/post IDs to mass-edit them. I think I'm in the clear because I used the official third party API, with an official "app." If you used the private API or instrumented this via the browser, that may be why you were banned.

    Anyway, if you or someone else wants their full history, Reddit will give it to you via a data export request.

  • Litterbox woes - how to solve them?
  • This was the first thing that came up in a search. Looks like there's a few sizes too:

    https://meowspace.biz/product/meowspace-microchip-system/

    It looks pretty pricey, but considering microchip pet doors on their own cost about that much, this seems like a cheaper option than DIYing some contraption involving a microchip pet door.

    Look around for this kind of stuff OP! It exists!

  • mv Windows Linux
  • You also can't open two spreadsheets that have the same filename. I'm sure that's led to a helpdesk call or two.

  • New Forklift [Rule]
  • I can't believe OP is actually forklift certified

  • Ah, reddit
  • This was the point of the protest. Reddit is all over search engine results, especially Google. If people can't get their answers from a random Reddit search result, the Reddit listings will eventually be deprioritized in favor of other, more reliable sources.

  • Forgejo monthly update - March 2024
  • Forgejo is Gitea. It was a soft fork of Gitea, and more recently a hard fork.

    You can read about why they hard forked, and decide for yourself if it's worth switching, but the consensus is that Forgejo is in better hands than Gitea.

    Currently it's easy to migrate from Gitea to Forgejo, but the longer you wait and the more it diverges from Gitea, the harder it will become to migrate.

    If you like the Forgejo direction and think it's in better hands than Gitea, you might want to consider migrating sooner rather than later. All of your data should remain intact as it's essentially a drop in replacement. This should only take you a few minutes if you're using the Docker version of Gitea.

  • VPS provider Vultr Claims Rights to Sell Your Data & Programs
  • I’m scratching my head to think what Vultr could do better in this case

    There was substantial room for improvement in the way they spoke publicly about this issue. See my comment above.

  • VPS provider Vultr Claims Rights to Sell Your Data & Programs
  • I still don't like how flippant they've been in every public communication. I read the ToS. It's short for a ToS, everyone should read it. They claim it was taken "out of context," but there wasn't much context to take it out of. The ToS didn't make this distinction they're claiming, there was no separation of Vultr forum data from cloud service data. It was just a bad, poorly written ToS, plain and simple.

    They haven't taken an ounce of responsibility for that, and have instead placed the blame on "a Reddit post" (when this was being discussed in way more detail on other tech forums, Vultr even chimed in on LowEndTalk).

    As for this:

    Section 12.1(a) of our ToS, which was added in 2021, ends with "for purposes of providing the Services to you." This is intended to make it clear that any rights referenced are solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you.

    This means nothing. A simple "we are enhancing your user experience by mining your data and giving you a better quality service" would have covered them on this.

    We only got an explanation behind the ToS ransom dialog after their CMO whined in a CRN article. That information should have been right in the dialog on the website.

    In both places, they've actively done vague things to cause confusion, and are offended when people interpret it incorrectly.

  • [Project] Having trouble deploying Lemmy? Try my new script! Get up and running in minutes!
    github.com GitHub - ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy: Deploy Lemmy the easy way!

    Deploy Lemmy the easy way! Contribute to ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy development by creating an account on GitHub.

    In the past few days, I've seen a number of people having trouble getting Lemmy set up on their own servers. That motivated me to create Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, a dead-simple solution to deploying Lemmy using Docker Compose under the hood.

    To accommodate people new to Docker or self hosting, I've made it as simple as I possibly could. Edit the config file to specify your domain, then run the script. That's it! No manual configuration is needed. Your self hosted Lemmy instance will be up and running in about a minute or less. Everything is taken care of for you. Random passwords are created for Lemmy's microservices, and HTTPS is handled automatically by Caddy.

    Updates are automatic too! Run the script again to detect and deploy updates to Lemmy automatically.

    If you are an advanced user, plenty of config options are available. You can set this to compile Lemmy from source if you want, which is useful for trying out Release Candidate versions. You can also specify a Cloudflare API token, and if you do, HTTPS certificates will use the DNS challenge instead. This is helpful for Cloudflare proxy users, who can have issues with HTTPS certificates sometimes.

    Try it out and let me know what you think!
