Oh okay well if you’ve not had an issue then it can’t be one.

Honestly, what is wrong with the people left on lemmy, why is everyone like this. There was a few months there where you could talk and have a conversation. Then all the good people left and we just get… this.

Salf is the definition of not uniform.

Try a spoonful of table salt instead of sea salt next time and see how well that goes. In grams it does not matter.

Not with salt or anything granular. Liquid is probably fine

I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don’t know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn’t get the same level of testing as Linux.

I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

I wonder if openai will start working on things that aren’t terrible for society at some point.

I don’t think you understand the case. I think you’re just saying things out of complete ignorance. Which is fine it’s just a comment thread on a tiny website, but at some point, you should just go read up on the actual situation rather than continue to make statements out of ignorance, that doesn’t contribute to the conversation or benefit anyone.

They aren’t spending the money to preserve film either. The best case is storing the film in salt mines, and that only slows the degradation. Film isn’t being digitally scanned unless there’s a uhd release to profit from it, and every week that it isn’t scanned, it degrades a little more

The downvotes are a combination of American propaganda working, and also everyone here is a mid to older millennial, genx tech bro, ergo hate the young people’s thing.

Don’t take it personally, downvotes mean nothing on lemmy, and it’s more a reflection of their inability to discuss points and just blind react to points that go against their propaganda influenced moral compass.

It’s funny that the only app being banned, is the app that young people used to have a dramatic effect on American politics recently, first by blocking the red wave, then by tanking democratic polling thanks to their support for genocide.

It’s funny that Twitter or Facebook, which is absolutely full of outside influence on America, isn’t banned. The Russian and Chinese bot networks can live forever there, that’s fine.

They aren’t banning a thing, they are banning a kind of a thing.

If they were banning social media you may have a point, they aren’t.

Sir, this is a discussion platform. People leave text to have a discussion.

if you don’t want to, that’s okay. You don’t have to continue. Just don’t reply, you don’t need to leave a message like that, that’s just weird

Just at the cost of setting up the American version of china’s firewall, right?

It’s going to be weird for the rest of the world to have access to tiktok, but just America bans their citizens from accessing it. America really just isn’t so far from what it hates.

It’s also strange to see people championing a path towards this, it’s all good until they decide to ban the thing you don’t hate though right?

I would argue that this is the opposite order. You want to take care of the people who actually hold power over you now, China has no power over you.

Look at what the eu has done. First control and regulate the local companies.

Yeah, I think the ‘successors’ are still in dmca violation (at least one not sure about the other). But it’s still early days, anyway. Yuzu was successful because of the dedicated team behind it. Just setting up other repos doesn’t mean much yet. It’s gonna take months to see how things shake out.

But you can’t deny the potential chilling effect of it all. Nintendo has shown that they will come for you.

Honestly, anyone that was gonna emulate switch already knew, and nintendo has all their big hitters out of the way so isn’t going to be loosing much in terms of sales to piracy at this point. they just want a chilling effect for switch 2

I’m gonna just preface this by saying Nintendo suck and I don’t agree with what they are doing.

But it’s worth understanding what is happening here, nintendo isn’t just throwing random legalize against the wall to find something that sticks. They are specifically going after yuzu via a fairly well tested part of the DMCA.

The DMCA allows them this, and if you don’t feel like nintendo or anyone else should get to dictate what device you play the games you own on, you should be looking into whatever you can do to pressure your representatives to add to the many exceptions of that dmca clause for this purpose.

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.
