A good essay, but I find it ironic that the author used “finding a recipe” as an example of the old web working well when recipe blogs are frequently the top example cited when someone is talking about SEO slop in the pre-AI web.

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.

Hey mods just saying… I think a lot of us would appreciate having a rule against offtopic posts.

Freedom of expression has never existed without a for profit middleman!

Although I think I’m doing something wrong and the memory in modern games is just dynamic so the correct location can’t be found with just the memory addresses.

OK that’s the same thing I was suspecting. I noticed the memory addresses had similar names, but there was no way to search for partial addresses or anything.

dang I wish someone could invent a decentralized social media platform where engagement isn’t rewarded over everything else and if one instance becomes infested with bots the others could defederate from it and it has 10x the moderator-to-user ratio of existing social media dang

Toyota boot screen! Love it.

Not off the top of my head, but I haven’t used it in a year or two so it’s probably changed a bit since then.

The one feature of Nova I wish Kvaesitso had is swiping on icons can do other things than tapping on them. For example swiping on the wallet icon opens a specific card. Swiping on podcast apps opened audiobook app instead.

You can adjust it in settings up to as many that will fit

I couldn’t get Game Conqueror working on Bazzite. PINCE worked, but I couldn’t use any existing CE configs, and saving my own didn’t work the next time I loaded the game either. That could maybe just be a Silksong thing but I’ve never had that issue before.

Not a dealbreaker for Linux, but it was the one time I remember thinking “this is a lot easier on Windows”

Looks a lot like M-Launcher on F-Droid.

I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.

I saw genAI algorithms as artpieces themselves, even if their output wasn’t really art themselves.

This is a great point. The tools themselves are fascinating and impressive even if what they make is mostly garbage.

I’m rocking Bazzite and the only time I wanted Windows was when I got stuck on a boss in Silksong and wanted to use CheatEngine.

Yeah, it sucks because LibreELEC is the only way I’ve ever got HDMI-CEC to work. There are some nice skins too. In a different life, perhaps.

There is with Reddit! If you browse enough old posts you’ll inevitably come across a profile who’s history entirely consists of “I’ve quit and gone to Lemmy”.
