Europe’s Greens ask Jill Stein to pull out of US election to prevent Trump victory
  • But I keep hearing how the American system isn't democratic since you don't directly vote for the president, you vote for some middle person who promises to vote for your president? Those people might not be members of the parliment but they can still form coalitions after the fact by voting for who has a chance to win

    Is MJ sane?

    Pirate IPTV's 'Breaking Bad' Headteacher Risked More Than Most, Paid the Price.
  • This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn't going to judge by someone's character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else's crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

    WhatsApp is making a massive change to the way it saves your contacts
  • Are you're familiar with how singal's servers work? Even I can think of a system where all messages are collected in a common pool before being distributed, the actual security researchers that made signal surely thought of something better.

    How does FISA make it legal for singal to lie to a court about what information they have? Please enlighten me

    WhatsApp is making a massive change to the way it saves your contacts
  • The server doesn't need to know or keep track of who's sending a message to deliver it. If you don't trust signal to not lie to the court about not collecting such metadata, I can't convince you otherwise. But there's a merit in designing your system so that such collection is as hard as possible.

    Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects?
  • All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don't think the servers were blocked.

    I haven't turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn't work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.

    I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn't know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.

    I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should've tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can't find information about network persistent state file on the internet, so I'm stumped for now

  • I don't think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn't connect. There's no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn't have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls or dns over https, which is also widely supported at this point, and those are what all my browsers are using (and also don't have a flag to turn on or off, they're handled in settings).

    Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects?
  • As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it's safe to say it's intentional.

    And as I explained, the weird part is that my browser's fine despite not using a vpn. No slowdown (on youtube at least) at all

  • It also connects to discord, supposed to be blocked since more than a week. No other device or browser I have connects to YouTube, they all get ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED, and only a fresh Vivaldi profile on the same pc also connects to Discord, everything else get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

    I've tried disabling all extensions, it still connects. Checked its IP address and DNS server and they're the same as other devices/browsers. Any idea what could be going on?

    24m edit: Discord just started working on some other chromium browsers including on another device.

    80m edit: Another chromium browser just also connected. After deleting browser data it stopped

    edit 3: found that if I add this to the servers section of a Network Persistent State file associated with a chromium browser profile (while the browser is closed), it can connect to youtube. Can't explain why.

    Marvel wikia retcons its first appearance as xmen#101, but phoenix force isn't in this issue, phoenix is. At some point between its publication and now the story must've changed to involve a cosmic god, but I wonder if before then phoenix's origin was intended to be an extreme version of fantastic 4's origin beyond just an homage.

    I just started reading xmen#125 and once again in a flashback this is how the event is described:

    > Her body was consumed by the intense radiation. But her mind refused to die. Driven by her love for Scott Summers, she achieved her full potential as a psi --becoming, briefly, an entity of pure thought-- before finally reforming as Phoenix.

    So when does phenix force actually bocme a thing? Were there any other out of universe (as I'll reach the in universe ones eventually) explanations of the phoenix's power before then? Shouldn't the wiki at least mention if a part of an article is a retcon?

    I'm trying to play dark souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod in hdr. I'm passing 1440p to gamescope with the -W, -H, -w, -h options and limiting framerate to 60 with -r and -o.

    The game just refuses to display at anything other than 720p. I can change the in-game resolution setting to 1440p but the resolution just doesn't change. I tried setting a lower resolution (480p iirc) as well, but it still looked the same. Also tried enabling fullscreen but that setting doesn't save nor does it do anything.

    I'm inferring that it's 720p because the in-game cursor moves half the distance of the actual cursor with gamescope set to 1440p, but they're in sync if I set it to 720p. To the eye it just looks blurry. The mod menu opens at the size it opens without gamescope but is also similarly blurred. Couldn't interact with it to confirm the resolution due to the aforementioned mouse issue

    Outside of gamescope fullscreen works fine and the resolution setting works too iirc (but they reset after reopening the game). Kde plasma. Tried disabling secondary screen, setting scaling to 100 and limiting desktop fps to 60, didn't help

    Could this be some kind of steam deck detection? Any ideas?

    I keep seeing this video and every time I'm uncertain. I'm pretty sure that's not how normal strawberry plants look, and the fact that all of the berries are ripe at the same time is suspicious. On the other hand they look naturally connected to the plant and not stabbed into branches..

    I'm guessing this is a rolling shutter effect since the lines were always horizontal wrt the screen but can't really explain it. Shutter speed is 1/1500s. The lines appear on other shutter speeds too but fade away as you approach 1s. They seemed most noticeable at factors of 1/50s or 1/750s. Here's a screen video: https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/xc6hikOCglkz

    Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?

    Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader

    I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?
