Spying on you :P
That's why I replaced it with MicroG:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.
Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM,
to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.
Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.
All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).
To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?
Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.
Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.
Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.
OP I agree with you, it's a great idea imo.
I've been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..
Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban
I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it's good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.
However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.
I own a non-chinese EV and it currently is an unavoidable, unregulated, heap of spyware on wheels, all of them.
The only benefit it has is my data is going to data brokers in the EU, which has some privacy laws, not the Chinese government, which has the ability to request any and all data from all companies in their country.
You misspelled "spyware on wheels" as "EVs"
Happily been using it for a few years by now.
The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.
Either that, or they might dedicate a whole wing of the museum to all the lawsuits they fired off throughout their history, against independent community fan projects.
Nintendo is a lawsuit company that makes games on the side after all.
Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool
You forgot about Eternity
Would love to hear about it's score since it's my favorite way to browse Lemmy :)
It's not dead,
the (over)hyped period is just over.
I for one do plan on picking it up again in the near future, they added quite a bit of new content (pals, tower boss, island, oil rig, arena, raids, ...) since I last played it.
Both are spy-ware though.
If you really want to enjoy a chromium based browser, I'd suggest Ungoogled Chromium
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-windows
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-android
It's still a problem in the EU,
less then in the USA,
however still a rather big problem.
Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.
Instead it's a general "contact your government",
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.
FireWall?
Setup x2 rules for each .exe,
one to block inbound connections,
and another to block outbound connections.

Update
Belfius is no longer cool with root,
however I wrote a simple Xposed module to work around their check:

After the DMCA takedown on Github/Gitlab, Suyu (the active fork of Yuzu)
Moved to their own Forgejo instance.
Since GitHub continues introducing antifeatures and enforcing an own vision of software development, like mandatory 2FA (I don't need such mandatory imitation of security when I'll have to bear its...
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?

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

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, through Citra Canary v2798 with:
- Internal Resolution: 9x Native (3600x2160)
Custom Textures: High Resolution Textures by GoboII- Graphics API: Vulkan (AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT)
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
I figured out a way to "easily" get them in single-player.
Recommended prerequisites (Not so easy):
- Reach level 44, for Legendary sphere's
- Upgrade your Capture Power to level 10 at the statue of power with Lifmunk Effigy's
Cheese method for Alpha Frostallion:
-
Install one of following mods:
- Pal Info https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/178 I've been using this one up till now.
- Pal Analyzer https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/336 I will soon switch to this one, since it looks nicer.
They both will show you the passive skills a pal has, allowing you to check em out before catching the pals, so you don't waste sphere's
-
Travel to Frostallion, check his passive skills without battling, if they're not as desired, exit / re-enter your world, that will re-spawn / re-roll in a new one with new passive skills, repeat till you find a desired one.
-
Start battling as soon as you find a desired one, took me 20-30 minutes for mine.
-
There will be a large / tall ice rock in the area (Coordinates X: -349, Y: 519), just start circling around it, always keep the large / tall ice rock between you and Frostallion
-
Eventually he'll climb up the ice rock, and will fall down from it eventually as well, which will hurt him through fall damage for about 300 - 3000 HP!
-
Rinse and repeat until his HP is low, then start throwing your legendary sphere's 😄
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.
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 😉
