Social media companies engaged in 'vast surveillance,' FTC finds, calling status quo 'unacceptable'
  • "The sky is blue" Man finds. "I decided to look up" he says.

  • A Rehash of a Classic
  • Friend? No. Roommates perhaps.

  • Ubuntu 24.10 to Introduce User-Controlled Permissions Prompts
  • I'm not exactly sure whether or not this is good, but my gut feeling is that this sounds like it will very quickly become very annoying permission hell.

  • School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.
  • This headline reads like an onion article lmfao

  • What's the worst video game you've ever played?
  • Tales of Arise. The most bland plain characters ever, uninteresting exploration, plot was SO predictable, and the combat felt stiff. Kinda wrote off the entire series mostly, except I do like Berseria even though it's combat also sucks.

  • Today, I left windows behind for good
  • As someone who dual booted, I agree, don't bother. If you've got any important files, back em up to a cloud or something, and wipe. Dual booting gave me so many issues, and eventually I broke my windows install somehow anyway. Just go with a full wipe, it'll save you a Lotta trouble.

  • Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'Brien
  • Well yeah, 2017 was only... oh god... oh no....

  • Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'Brien
  • EHhhh, I love O'Brien, but lately I think Trek has been relying way too much on nostalgia. I'd rather have new characters instead.

  • If you look to play the upcoming "Spectre Divide" game, don't hold your breath this is from an interview with Mountaintop Games CEO via The Verge.
  • Bro when is gaming gonna get over this idea that the ONLY way to block cheaters is with some kernel level spyware. Its fucking ridiculous dog

  • #StopKillingGames update: Finland just passed the threshold.
  • Imo it doesn't though. Thor misreads this as a legal document, but it is not, this is initiative, which is essentially to get the conversation started. If you'll look at other initiatives, you'll find they read pretty similarly. Stop trying to poke flaws in it like it's a legal document, because it isn't and isn't meant to be!

  • Are slaves able to upgrade their stratum?
  • Had to check what community I was on lol

  • SUSE Requests openSUSE to Rebrand
  • OpenSussy

  • Life hack
  • Jack Russel moment

  • Update on the Fillian, Goodsmile, & VRchat model creator drama.
  • Huh... This reminds me of when Neuro used to use that one public model, then got her own by Anny, probably to avoid situations just like this. Honestly I assumed Filian had either come to an agreement with the creator or had already gotten a new model made but based on the old one. Seems like a stupid move on her part to not take the Neuro route of make your own model based on the one you used so its completely yours

  • Why do you still hate Windows?
  • For me the straw that broke the camels back was the fucking updates. I got so tired of Windows forcing updates, and I never could get the registry edits to disable it to stick. Besides, you shouldn't have to EDIT THE REGISTRY to just turn off updates! But there's also stuff I'd really miss if I went back (I've been on Nobara for a year now) like the package management on Linux. I love that I can choose to update on MY terms, and that almost everything updates during the process. I have a few random jar apps for Switch hacking stuff, and an appimage for R2Modman, but besides that I don't have to worry about needing to download the latest version of shit all the time. AND, having most of what you need just available on a software store is so nice. Never mind that its so much safer to not have to download random .exe's from all over the internet. These days the only thing I actually struggle with is modding certain games. Like BG3 took me awhile, but then I found out there's a Linux mod manager called lampray and it works perfectly. Then there's also the fact you have to know how to do DLL overrides for things like bepinex or anything that adds some kind of DLL. But otherwise, it just works and infuriates me less than windoze

  • Elon Musk's SpaceX contracted to destroy retired space station - BBC News
  • Wait, how is Starship failing? They successfully returned from re-entry and made a soft landing with both the booster and starship itself. Seems to me that it's well on track?

  • 'Russian spy agency forgot to pay its bill’: Did a delinquent ChatGPT account expose a pro-Trump Russian bot campaign?
  • No no, Mr musk said they got rid of the bots, remember? Our lord and savior would never be wrong or misguided! /s

  • Spacex team’s Starship partially melts during renterty of test flight 4, makes soft splash down anyway.
  • This really was awesome to watch live. Specifically I remember the part where the camera was almost completely covered, and the fin was barely visible. But juuuuuust barely, you could see that the fin was actuating, and it was alive! And then the crowd gets hype. That was the moment where I was like, wait, this could still happen!

  • Manjaro or Pop!_OS for (Nvidia) gaming on Steam?
  • If you liked Debian, definitely Pop as it's basically Debian but with easier to install nvidia drivers. But also if you liked using Fedora, I'd consider Nobara, it's a distro maintained by a Redhat engineer and has an nvidia image like Pop OS. Stay tf away from Manjaro, you might wanna look into EndeavorOS if you want Arch for gaming

  • Does GSync on Nvidia work with multiple monitors yet?

    Last time I tried gaming on Linux, this was the thing that made me switch. Ironically all my games worked fine, but no GSync with more than one monitor active killed me because I really like watching stuff while I game.
