alakey

The title is overly optimistic imo. This is more of a life support system for a comatose patient. The work done is great and keeps some people informed and provided with at least some international news and tools, but this is far from defeating the internet blackout.

I’m also somewhat surprised iran isn’t shooting down the satellites. The article mentions previous full jamming practices were stopped in fear of sanctions, but not like that’s a concern anymore, especially considering iran is in russia’s little fascist club.

To the people living in the rest of the world - start taking ID verification threat seriously before this is your reality where the only outside news you get is from a USB stick you buy on a shady open market for 30 bucks from a guy who has a satellite dish out in the mountains.

fmhy.net is very noob friendly, it’s a collection of all sorts of sources for pirated content that are considered safe to use (sometimes with an asterisk - would be mentioned to use VPN or adblock, for instance). If you see a star next to a resource - the maintainers of the list consider it one of the best at the moment.

Which adblock, which VPN? privacyguides.org for all of that.

Which torrent client? qBittorent - in advanced settings find network interface and set it to your VPN (if you have to use VPN for torrenting), so that it never uses your regular internet.

Emoji ridden repos just scream scam to me, too. I feel like people who genuinely want to make an app and actually keep it maintained wouldn’t resort to AI slop code or even a description.

I’m using GTX980 on CachyOS with non open 580.142 driver which gets installed automatically if you are on an older Nvidia card, it works perfectly fine.

Nouveau driver crashes when anything more complex than a wallpaper is trying to render (literally, even context menus and taskbar icon names).

Did not try the open version.

Worth mentioning, Cachy and most other distros seem to use Nouveau in their live ISOs, so you’ll have to use nomodeset on Cachy and an alternative way to boot without GPU drivers on other distros.

Start watching, turn on this extension, let it buffer the video, then save it.

Sad to see, but not unexpected at all. The gems always come and go. And the fact that a piracy project is giving its users a more graceful exit period says a lot about the digital distribution industry. Music streaming services will silently wipe tracks off of the platform without giving you any warning, these guys gave a nearly half a year warning and a month+ period to download your stuff.

The second part - to me clearly sounds like the person is not a native speaker and just meant to say something along the lines of “hope you make x100 of what you were able to donate in the future”, basically just wishing prosperity.

Gave it a try, fully understanding it’s not even a released feature yet, it works alright, but on Twitch it fully breaks streams, so watch out for that if you decide to run with it.

That’s why it’s been “quietly added”, it’s not ready for use. You can add lists in about:config, but this is just a super early implementation.

Yes, you can adjust filter lists in Brave, including custom ones.

Lol, yep. It’s hilarious reading the replies here, as if every government outside of US is some ultra liberal paradise that cares a ton about what the US fascists been doing. Lula was championed for not being Bolsonaro, Magyar is championed for not being Orban. As long as the next owner of russia is not putin, stops the war and returns to the status quo of mostly terrorizing their own people - everyone will restore relations with them as if everything is perfect. It would take much less effort for the likes of US.

More like you are falling for yet another blanket ban as a viable solution to anything. Younger gens are significantly less into smoking and drinking? Oh, I know! Let’s turn it miles more enticing by making it a taboo!

Because realistically nobody is against it. People can whine all the want, they will verify anyway rather than miss out on online gaming, social media, porn etc. You personally might be the outlier and maybe you even convinced your family and friends, but sadly unless at the bare minimum 50% of users outright leave the platform enforcing age verification they couldn’t care less about our feelings.

Out of the latest Abigail and Bugonia are fantastic. An old classic - Gerald’s Game. Black Phone was surprisingly good.

Edit: only now noticed you want them to be set pre-2000s, oops, sorry. Oh well ;D

Ok, but why is the button Hub themed 😳

Depends on where you are from and where you are going. I’m struggling to find the page now, but Istanbul international airport only allows carrying 1 phone tax-free, for example.

Exhibit A: https://time.com/6563886/arnold-schwarzenegger-watch-tax-customs-detention-climate-auction/

In certain scenarios I wouldn’t even be able to take my other phone or a tablet with me, because a lot of airports/customs consider only 1 phone as “essential” and not subject to any regulations.

Thanks, the article was entirely useless, just glazing the proposal.

While this is a better turd than k-ID and the likes, it’s still a turd. What is this supposed to achieve? Doesn’t stop kids from accessing anything, but hinders VPN usability (tunneling into ID requiring locations is going to be useless, as you can’t verify) and lays out the foundation for labeling anything as “adult” content, which we all know never stops at actual adult content.

The tool could soon help users prove their age online without sharing personal data

Once released, users will be able to download the app from an app store and set it up using proof of identity, such as a passport or national ID card.

Officials say the app will be “completely anonymous” and built on open-source technology, meaning it could also be adopted outside the EU.

The fuck am I reading?
