I’ve never heard of it. What separates from Project Cartographer and MCC?

OP may want to look at Garuda’s gaming edition. It seems to have a lot of good gaming packages I usually end up installing myself and it’s based in Arch Linux

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up using both of those when attempting this and ended up with a lumpy cold solder looking connection.

Without the the flux I wasn’t able to heat the line enough to get the solder to melt.

This was a few months ago so I can’t recall a lot of the specifics unfortunately.

What I can recall was using a 90w Ali Express soldering iron with a conical tip to solder a damaged original Xbox controller cable. The leaded solder seemed slow to melt on the tip but wouldn’t melt to the wire when I applied heat on the under side.

Sorry I can’t tell you more. I was looking to do some practice this weekend and wanted to know if I should be ordering a thicker tip or something.

Is Railway Hosting what people are using for hosting Lemmy instances?

Don’t you need to get Memmy through test flight as well?

There is Memmy as well but the setup process and development period might be a bit much for some people

I feel like it’s the occasional unpredictability that people are scared of. Whether it’s people being unable to tell if something was created by ChatGPT, if it’s pulling false sources, or people finding ways around set limitations and filters.

Thanks for the response. I was more referring to that specific example. The article talked about Microsoft dealing with word processors and linked that Wikipedia page.

Interesting article, thanks for posting. I’ve used a few Matrix servers that use bridges to Discord and I’ve noticed a similar effect where they’ll occasionally go down for extended periods of time. As nice as the idea is to use Element over Discord it’s a lot easier to stick to the mainstream where people are and technical issues are at a minimum.

I’ll admit this part did go a bit over my head.

What Google did to XMPP was not new. In fact, in 1998, Microsoft engineer Vinod Vallopllil explicitly wrote a text titled “Blunting OSS attacks” where he suggested to “de-commoditize protocols & applications […]. By extending these protocols and developing new protocols, we can deny OSS project’s entry into the market.”

Microsoft put that theory in practice with the release of Windows 2000 which offered support for the Kerberos security protocol. But that protocol was extended. The specifications of those extensions could be freely downloaded but required to accept a license which forbid you to implement those extensions. As soon as you clicked “OK”, you could not work on any open source version of Kerberos. The goal was explicitly to kill any competing networking project such as Samba.

Thank you for pointing this out. I was looking into privacy on Lemmy and came across this post where I got the wrong idea I guess. I couldn’t find much else online

And I believe there’s work in progress to discard deleted posts after 30 days.

That would be a nice addition

But the implications are still interesting. One might (big might) trust Reddit as an organization not to use this data for evil, but with federation, there’s nothing stopping an instance from simply releasing all users’ voting history to be public.

Another potential privacy issue is that deleted content stays server and I believe it’s similar with posted images.

One of the reasons I stopped using Spotify was the rather regular UI changes

You could look into flashing a different firmware like DD-Wrt or Fresh Tomato. I use my second router to connect everything at my desk

Ahead of the Tuesday post, more than 300 subreddits had committed to staying dark indefinitely, SpicyThunder335 said. The list included some hugely popular subreddits, like r/aww (more than 34 million subscribers), r/music (more than 32 million subscribers), and r/videos (more than 26 million subscribers). Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season. But SpicyThunder335 invited moderators to share pledges to keep the protests going, and the commitments are rolling in.

A surprising amount of big names there. I figured it would be more obscure/niche subreddits like /r/TaylorSwift, /r/SpaghettiWesterns, or something like that
