  • If your purpose for using cash or Monero is privacy, that's fine. If your purpose is to avoid paying fees to third parties just for the privilege of paying by a certain method, the swap service just takes the place of Visa/Mastercard.

    Family rescued in Maui thanks to iPhone's satellite feature
  • As a 911 operator, I hate the SOS function and it has just gotten worse. Between this and the "car crash" detection, I spend 40% of my work day tracking down false alarms, often at the expense of using resources for actual emergencies. If I ever meet the person who decided to turn on the SOS function by default, I'm going to punch them squarely in the nose.

  • Imgur doesn't seem to integrate well into the Lemmy architecture, what's the current "best practice" for posting GIFs and/or small mp4s like we used to have on v.reddit.com that looks good and plays well with expandos, etc.?

    Missed my windows phone, so I tried some android launcher replacements!
  • As a full-time linux user since 2005 and a guy who swears every time he has to use a windows machine now, the Windows phone was actually really good. It had very few apps available and it certainly never took off commercially, but my girlfriend had one back in the day and it was a surprisingly nice piece of work.

    I have no doubts that if it had gained traction and still been around today that it would be absolutely unusable.

  • I'm thinking of moving from Mullvad to ProtonVPN mainly for the port forwarding, but I have some questions. The documentation on the ProtonVPN website is dated and I don't know if it's still accurate.

    Can you forward multiple ports simultaneously using the ProtonVPN linux app? The documentation also seems to suggest that the forwarded port will change every time I disconnect or reconnect the VPN, necessitating a change in my (ahem) clients' configurations, is that actually the case? If it's not possible to port forward multiple ports at once, can the linux app do split tunneling of my Plex server that's started at boot time?

    Thanks to anyone who can answer any of these questions.

    (Linux users !) What was the first Linux distro that you used ?
  • I tried Caldera first, but could never get it to boot. The first one I managed to actually use was Ubuntu 5.10, and that's what got Linux to be my daily driver. Lots of distro-hopping later, I'm still daily driving Linux, Debian these days.

    YSK: Unchecking "Show read posts" will hide your own posts
  • That's something that's bugging me. I should at the very least be able to see my own posts on my profile page even with the checkbox off

    Louisiana Outlaws Sexual Deepfakes of Children
  • The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in 2002. Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234. The Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 prohibited "any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture" that "is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct".

    I haven't seen or read the language of this Louisiana law, and presumably intelligent law-makers would be aware that a law with a similar intent has been ruled unconstitutional, so maybe they changed enough so that this one will hold up.

  • My RSS feed seems to only populate with my posts, not comments or saved items. I agree, this probably isn't the intended behavior. Following this post to see if you get any better answers.
