Linux Gaming swnt • 11 months ago • 90%

I've been playing LoL since a long time - practically since my friends etc. started it in 2009. I was on windows back then and moved slowly and slowly to Linux via dual boot. These days I only used windows for gaming and Linux (Ubuntu) for everything else. While back then, stuff like FLOSS and co. wasn't that important to me - these days I appreciate it much more - and I like to have a computer which just doesn't annoy me with bloat and doesn't do stuff I don't want it to do. After hearing about the steam deck stuff recently I gave gaming on Linux a try. I just follow the few simple steps outlined in online guides. It was pretty easy to install steam and league of legends. I even played a few very old games on steam - games which I didn't play all the time because I wouldn't boot up windows just for them. I did decrease the LoL graphics a bit - as my laptop is a bit older. But seriously... League of Legends was working! It was working flawlessly! 🤩 I didn't see any crashes or stuff like that. I played a few games and realised, that I really didn't need to go back to windows anymore. I'm migrating to a new laptop with better specs soon - and It'll be my first laptop in 1.5 decades that will not have dual boot. 😇 If I ever need windows again I'll either use the dual boot on my old laptop or simply run a VM for such rare cases. But even things like MS Teams work in the browser, so no need for Windows unless it's MS Office - which I never needed yet. Just wanted to share my recent personal experience 😃

Da eine EU weite Vermögenssteuer sehr sinnvoll wäre, um die Probleme zu vermeiden, die es bei der Vermögenssteuer gab, welche nur in Frankreich war (und dann wieder zurückgedreht wurde). Auf EU Ebene finde ich sowas sinnvoller und effektiver als auf DE Ebene. Bei 1 Mio Unterschriften muss die EU Kommission dazu handeln. Edit: Zählung der Unterschriften findet ihr [hier](https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2023/000006_de). (danke an kellerlanplayer@feddit.de)

Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

A very useful entry point written in many languages to show what the good effects of the EU and co. are. Especially good when talking to doubters in the more nationalistic political landscape recently in Europe.

Bei anderen EntwicklerInnen auf GitHub kommt das nicht gut an: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues/28 Bitte versucht von Google Chrome (und seien Blink-Engine baiserenden Safari, Edge, Brave, etc.) auf einen anderen Browser wie firefox zu wechseln. Nur weil Google Chrome so verbreitet ist, hat Google so viel Macht über das Web, weil sie mit grossen Vorsprung der meistgenutzte Browser und daher die Client side kontrollieren. Wenn Google Chrome nicht so verbreitet wäre, dann hätten die das wahrscheinlich auch nicht erst vorgeschlagen.

Given how important economic thinking is in cryptocurrencies and the world economic system in general, I think this article is very relevant and insightful. I think this is also important, because it also suggests to interpret the overarching "tokenize and economisize everything" mantra in crypto& Blockchain as a continuation of this belief system. What do you all think? Here is also a 2007 paper on it: [The Religion of the Market](https://sci-hub.se/10.1163/156853507x204914)

Ich finde das ist ein sehr eindrücklicher Beitrag welches erklärt, warum es gefährlich sein kann, wenn Facebook mit ihrem neuen Twitter Competitor via ActivityPub die "Vorreiter" sein wollen. Wir sollten sehr vorsichtig sein und uns auch überlegen, ob wir nicht auch etwas dagegen unternehmen wollen.

Reddit Migration swnt • 1 year ago • 100%

Source: https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dy74b/boycotting_advertisers_has_forced_changes_at ## Copied Text It seems obvious at this point that Reddit and their CEO do not care about how we feel. They’ve doubled down, tripled down, and quadrupled down. I think there’s only one recourse remaining: Tell Reddit’s advertisers we will not be buying their products or services as long as they’re providing financial support to Reddit. I’ve compiled a list of the advertisers I see the most frequently, and included their contact information when I could find it. Sometimes it’s email addresses, sometimes it’s contact forms. Sometimes their customer service is intentionally obscured, and I wasn’t able to locate anything. Here’s what I’d suggest — write a brief message along these lines: Hello, I’ve noticed your company advertises regularly on Reddit. As you may be aware, Reddit has suddenly decided to change its business practices, charging exorbitant amounts to app developers, which will have wide-reaching consequences for many, including those with disabilities. There was no attempt to even give developers an opportunity to switch to a paid system, or to implement your ads into their apps. Furthermore, Reddit’s CEO has been extremely dishonest through this process, insulting both app developers and the users who provide 100 percent of the content and moderation to their site. I will not be using your products or services as long as you continue to provide financial support to Reddit. Please feel free to add to, or change the list of advertisers and contact information. Now, I’m sure many will be pessimistic about this, but keep in mind that advertiser boycotts had massive impacts on Fox News in the past. They’re directly or indirectly led to changes with hosts like Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson; there’s a reason the advertisers for some of their top shows tend to be companies like My Pillow.

As me and many others, you might have encountered the problem, that tapping on a comment in your inbox doesn't get you to the comment and it's context. However, you can actually directly jump from the comments inbox to the correct comment + context in the post. Check the image. First *long press* on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded. Then press on the chain link button below to directly open the post! It was *hard to find and know unless you already know it*. This **definitely** needs UX improvement. Hence, this post here.

Would you like to see some plugins which integrate with local/self-hosted AI instead of sending it to ChatGPT? Or don't you care about privacy there as long as the results are good? You might be interested in GPT4All (https://gpt4all.io/index.html), which can be easily downloaded as Desktops GUI. Simply download a model (like nous Hermes) for 7.5GB and **run in even without a GPU right on your CPU l** (albeit slightly slowish). It's amazing what's already possible with local AI instead of relying on large scale expensive and corporate-dependent AIs such as ChatGPT

Vor einer Woche bin ich hier dazu gekommen. Das war zwei Tage vor dem Beginn der blackouts am 12ten Juni. Hatte feddit.de in r/de gelesen und dachte ich probiere es Mal aus. Was habe ich zwischendurch alles erlebt? * Deutschland community war bei ca. 60 users/Monat * Ich habe gefragt, ob wir nicht ein r/de Äquivalent kreieren wollen. Schwupps hatten wir ein c/dach. * c/dach und c/Deutschland sind beide nun bei ~600 users / month. * Ich bin vielen aktiven communities beigetreten. Von Technology und Science auf beehaw, über lustige communities auf sh.itjust.works bis hin zu AI communities auf lemmy.world und lemmy.ml. * Nichen communities die vorher nicht existiert hatten und nun einiges an Leben haben: ObsidianMD, stable diffusion und co, trans memes sowie einige weitere nichen Hobbies * Die Nutzerzahlen steigen und ich genieße einfach die super kompakte und schlichte Jerboa App. Ja, es ist nicht so polished wie einige andere Apps, aber die Abwesenheit von Schnickschnack und Werbung schätze ich sehr. Einfach sehr erfrischend. Was ist euer Fazit seitdem ihr dabei seid?

While the second paragraph has been slightly debunked, the first paragraph is an interesting idea I've underappreciated/neglected until now. What do you think? Perhaps this is easier/more-scaleable than having federated instances with decentralised and often complex governance?

Es geht darum, dass Meta (Facebook) angekündigt haben, einen neuen Services aufzumachen - quasi Twitter klon, aber mit Fediverse ActivityPub Kompatibilität. I'm open source Bereich gibt es aber schon viele schlechte Erfahrungen, wo wenn solche Firmen zu große Instanzen besitzen, dass der offene Standard ausgehöhlt wird und misachtet wird (e.g. Internet Explorer als es mehr als 95% der browsers war und Chrome heute). Interessant, dass sich bereits so viele Instanzen bereits im Vorfeld so positioniert haben.

Einfach in den Android Einstellungen für die App beim Punkt "Open by default". Diesen aktivieren. Die obigen Webseiten wurden bei mir automatisch vorgeschlagen, da ich solche links schon Mal geöffnet hatte. Ganz nützlich. Wenn die App weiter entwickelt ist, dann wird dieser workaround hoffentlich nicht mehr notwendig sein.
