Pretty sure curl is the actual winner here

They are reconsidering this because libreoffice raised their hand and said they are still using secure transport

Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms

Exactly. Not sure why people have this expectation that facebook is some kind of serious platform that should be held to some high journalistic standard

It was a website for rating girls. It’s always been a joke website. People should be free to post whatever offensive and non-factual nonsense they want there (and its related subsidiaries)

If your entire life is so deeply entwined with facebook that you cant leave, and you demand that they only allow nice content, that’s a YOU problem.

This is not a defense of facebook. This is me saying facebook is shit, it’s ALWAYS been shit. Just walk away

I used to think vram wasnt a big deal, but my 10G 3080 is already useless for some newer games, namely indiana jones

Not literally unplayable, but severely hamstrung, which is not OK for a high end card thats only 2 gen old (soon to be 3 gen, i guess)

Omg… I have the EXACT same goal. Qnap and make a better offsite backup process… Been procrastinating for years now

I’m thinking a diy NAS running openmediavault.

Currently doing encrypted backups to google storage archive tier. Very cheap to store, expensive to retrieve.

Thinking maybe i can set up a small box at a family members house for nightly backups

I’m a bandcamp user and buy stuff regularly there, only because they are the lesser of all evils… but what is their current status? I thought they went bankrupt and owned by tencent?

Are they still fighting the good fight? Or heading toward enshittification?

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

My internet connection is over 100x faster than 20yrs ago, but pages still load slower…

Lol, i kept foolishly building HTPCs with bluray drives hoping that someday i could actually play my bluray disks…

No, i am Luigi!

This is exactly how we use LLMs at work… LLM is trained on our work data so it can answer questions about meeting notes from 5 years ago or something. There are a few geniunely helpful use cases like this amongst a sea of hype and mania. I wish lemmy would understand this instead of having just a blanket policy of hate on everything AI

the spotify thing is so stupid… There is simply no use case here for AI. Just spit back some numbers from my listening history like in the past. No need to have AI commentary and hallucination

The even more infuriating part of all this is that i can think of ways that AI/ML (not necesarily LLMs) could actually be really useful for spotify. Like tagging genres, styles, instruments, etc… “Spotify, find me all songs by X with Y instrument in them…”

Official.

Yeah, if they kill off the official app and neuter the other linux based choices then i’ll move on

I only stick with spotify because it has the best support on linux

Can any linux users can share their experience with other platforms?

I gave up trying to save things where i wanted and just let word/excel/ppt save them to onedrive

It’s just my work computer. I have no energy to fight with microsoft at work

I just go home to my warm comfy linux boxes when i get home

Sure, i’m not against developers keeping more of their own money, i’m not even against valve getting sued…

What i am against is this blind hate of every corporation. Even the ones like valve who are doing some good things. (bUt tHeY’Re nOt dOInG goOd oUT oF tHe gOOdNeSs of THeiR oWn hEaRts! It’S aLL ABouT ProFiT$$$$!!!)

I get it, capitalism sucks, corporations suck, profits suck… We are on lemmy after all

But until you throw out your computer, your phone, disconnect yourself from the internet, and move into the woods… You live, breathe, and contribute to a capitalist society, so stop letting perfect be the enemy of good and shitting on every corporation, even the “good guys”. (I dont mean YOU… I just mean the fediverse)

I mean a for-profit corporation owned by an ex-microsoft employee…

Everything about that screams enshittification, but they’ve done a pretty good job to be relatively consumer friendly.

Steam singlehandedly stopped piracy overnight for me.

Developers were getting $0 from me before steam, and thousands of $$$ from me after steam.

The 30% cut is well worth it for developers, plus all the other services steam provides. Kids have no idea how buying, installing, modding, patching games used to be like.

You cant compare this to the apple app store

Name another platform that has gone 20 years without completely enshittifying itself.

We can start shitting on steam when they turn evil

Wait, so everything since 22nm has been just marketing hype?
