I haven’t left, but now it’s something that’s on the cards, which wasn’t the case beforehand.

I only recently linked my domain to my ProtonMail account, so if I do switch it should be relatively painless given I’ll transfer the domain too, and the original PM address has become more of a lost cause anyway due to spam.

Yeah I’m very much now considering alternative options like Tuta now. Been a Proton user since 2020 and subscribed for over 2 years with them, and didn’t have any intention of moving until now.

This is exactly how I feel when I use my TrackPoint and my colleague’s like “CALL IT WHAT IT IS, IT’S A NIPPLE”

I don’t get the hate comments here other than “hurr durr im on a morally superior social media and your daughter isn’t”. Yes, Rednote is a Chinese app with Chinese ideals, proprietary, non-free, foreign telemetry etc etc. but at the end of the day sounds like your daughter’s having fun on an app that’s not too indifferent from TikTok.

Careful saying that round these parts, you’ll summon the ducks.

It only started for me because I wanted to have the convenience of a cloud password manager but without it being publicly open on the internet or hosted outside my network.

I set up Vaultwarden and Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi.

Now I’ve got 2 servers and a (very fucking slow Linksys NSS4000) NAS for backups hosting my life at this point (Nextcloud, Invidious, Beaver Habits)

As a LMDE user who usually keeps it pretty stock, that’s customised. I actually didn’t even know you could do centred taskbar with Cinnamon (even if it is objectively a crime)

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, even before reading the comments. Yeah, it’s a shitpost, but “Oh, Wallace is considered bottom of the barrel because… he’s like 100?” Straight up ageism.

I give it… an hour before someone mentions vi or cat as the true old way

There was a new kernel update so with some time they’ll start coming through after finishing compiling

In roughly 7 years of Linux, I think I’ve only run into issues with automated installers in partitioning if you choose to just go automatic everything and you have a wacky existing partition layout.

Yeah, anything to make that line go up on YouTube’s end.

The latest tag still doesn’t support multiple audio tracks, which might sound niche, but YouTube just rolled out AI dubbed audio tracks, and so Invidious can just play the wrong track and you can’t do anything about it and it’s been this way for about a month.

That being said, it seems that the team’s plan is to put more dev time into changing the back end to video.js so they don’t have to brunt the video retrieval workload, and video.js supports multiple audio tracks as far as I know. I look forward to when that happens, but in the meantime the latest tag is not 100% usable :(

I’ve done this for about 6 months, I’ve had a very mixed experience with Invidious, mostly with YouTube constantly making changes without notice or the video stream not really supporting resuming if the connection breaks briefly.

This isn’t a comment on the Herculean effort the contributors are taking on, but new users should be aware that they need a very reliable connection, update the container regularly, and exercise patience in the current state of Invidious.

Opted to work during the holidays given my family don’t really observe Xmas. Working all days that aren’t public holidays (23, 24, 27, 30, 31 Dec) or weekends (as per our usual roster).

My only regret is after I agreed, a longtime online friend let me know they’d be moving to another country and they were briefly staying at a major city within 5 hours driving distance to me before departing, but with my schedule it’s just not possible for me to see them.

If you do have any Zen games to recommend that don’t have a long learning curve, let me know!

Other than Minecraft, I’ll casually play some old iPad games on an iPad 2 I still have.

Trump Rages at Biden for Wrecking His Plans for Executions: ‘Makes No Sense’

President-elect Donald Trump reacted to President Joe Biden’s commutation of the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row with befuddlement and disbelief on Tuesday, claiming the decision “makes no sense.”

“Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” Trump wrote, in a Christmas Eve post on Truth Social, featuring his usual irregular capitalization.

“When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening.”

On Monday, the White House announced Biden had commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row to life without parole. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution: racist mass murder Dylann Roof, antisemitic mass murderer Robert Bowers and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The decision was explicitly designed to stifle the death-penalty-loving Trump—who oversaw a modern record 13 federal executions during his first term—before he returns to office.

“In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted,” said Biden, in a statement announcing his decision.

On Tuesday, Trump followed up his original post with a promise to pursue capital punishment once he’s back in power.”

“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters,” Trump wrote. “We will be a Nation of Law and Order again!”

Trump’s return to office had already raised concern among human rights experts.

“It is near certain that Donald Trump will re-start the federal killing machine where he left off, and we remain concerned about the human rights of those who are still on federal and military death row,” said Paul O’Brien, Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director, in a statement.

Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung was even more effusive about Biden’s clemency than his boss, saying Monday that the death row inmates whose sentences were commuted are “are among the worst killers in the world,” excoriating Biden’s “abhorrent decision” as “a slap in the face to the victims, their families, and their loved ones.”

Responses from victims’ families and loved ones, however, has not been unanimous.

Heather Turner—whose mother was killed during a 2017 bank robbery in South Carolina by one of the men whose death sentences was commuted—slammed the decision, writing on Facebook: “Joe Biden’s decision is a clear gross abuse of power. He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.”

But retired Ohio police officer Donnie Oliverio, whose partner was killed by another man whose sentence was commuted, offered a statement of support: “Putting to death the person who killed my police partner and best friend would have brought me no peace. The president has done what is right here, and what is consistent with the faith he and I share.”

Biden emphasized, in announcing his decision, that he condemns the murderers and grieves for those who suffered losses.

“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice-president, and now president, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level,” he said.

His act was hailed by human rights experts.

“The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, and President Biden’s eleventh-hour decision before leaving office to commute these death sentences is a big moment for human rights,” said Amnesty’s O’Brien.

Tanya Greene, US program director at Human Rights Watch, said the “courageous decision recognizes the U.S. death penalty has failed to deter crime or improve public safety, risked the execution of innocent people, and runs counter to the belief in the dignity of all human life and the possibility of redemption.”

Biden’s historic commutation came little more than a week after the president granted some 1,500 pardons and commutations to Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern U.S. history. It also followed his controversial pardon of his own son.

I don’t have an exact number but it would have to be at least 5000 hours I’ve sunk into Minecraft. Been on and off the game since 2013, I’d get bored of the current version and switch to Beta (fairly sizable community on r/goldenageminecraft), I’d do some worlds where I’d obtain stuff in older versions that weren’t obtainable later (whole wiki on Discontinued Minecraft items/blocks/structures/entities), of course I’d do modded.

I think the thing with Minecraft for me is that I spent all the time learning the game back in high school when I had more free time than I do as an adult, and I can nowadays play it extremely casually (~3 hours/week).

Its hard for me to get into new games (most recent game I got was Dredge) because I have like 2 hours a session to learn it, and it might be a few days between sessions.

Similar story here. For me what killed my enjoyment of it was the developer teasing and announcing Unturned 4.x but taking so long to polish it, that Unturned 3.x got abandoned.

He’s come back to Unturned 3.x since I stopped playing, but the fun’s no longer there for me anymore. I enjoyed the crap out of the arena gamemode and the creative servers (I basically played it more like a sandbox than a survival PVP game) but neither really have players anymore.

This might be an unpopular take here on Lemmy but macOS, Linux or Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IoT 2021 aren’t for everyone… Hell, I wouldn’t expect typical users to even know how to reinstall their operating system at all.
