[QUESTION] Privacy and the digital euro in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There are a lot of issues with your post imo.

First, cash is going away, soon. Sweden has done it years ago. Europe is now playing catch up.

Second, a universal digital currency will remove all system heterogeneity. Yes money is already digitalised, but across several proprietary environments. I can and have set up several accounts across several banks so my spending cannot be fully tracked by a single corporate entity. This will be moot once everyone has to use the same harmonized system.

Third, one of the sponsors of the universal European currency has been caught talking about time limited digital currency. As in, spend your money or it just disintegrates after a set amount of time. Which really destroyed a lot of trust in the endeavour

To the surprise of no one, it's just a matter of time until local accounts in personal windows editions are removed entirely.

Especially as a new linux convert I would say wait a bit before switching to an immutable distro. They have their advantages but the concept probably feels pretty alien for most windows users, where you can install whatever and it just works. I've been a long time Nobara user and it's pretty good, especially considering it's basically just one guy maintaining it. But it does break on updates from time to time. My personal recommendation after getting used to linux would be opensuse tumbleweed. It's constantly updated but never breaks. You generally don't need a gaming centric distro, especially if you're rocking an AMD card.

Where did you get the game from? Most platforms like steam don't actually sell games. You pay to rent the game for life, which is different. Those platforms can change the terms of service for your rental whenever they like. If you prefer to own your games you need to visit actual shops, like GOG.

I think you're hitting the nail on the head. A lot of publishers are blatantly misusing EA to put out an unfinished piece of software to socialize the testing, and hope for a more understanding playerbase because of the EA status. Not only is it manipulative, it also skews reception like it does here. Personally, I categorically skip all EA because I only buy finished products. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in a good tribes game.

Würdet ihr einem Introvertierten empfehlen, bei einem Vorstellungsgespräch zu sagen, dass er introvertiert ist? in c/deutschland@feddit.de
[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wichtige und richtige Unterscheidung, die ich meinen Mitmenschen oft erklären muss. Bei intro- bzw. extrovertiert sein geht es in erster Linie um den eigenen Energie-Haushalt. Die sozialen Kompetenzen spielen da die 2te Geige. Introvertierte neigen eher zu sonderbaren Verhalten weil manchmal die Übung fehlt, aber es besteht keine grundlegende Abneigung anderen Mitmenschen gegenüber.

Zudem ist es auch kein binärer Zustand, wo man nur das eine oder andere sein kann. Jeder ist beides, nur unterschiedlich ausgeprägt.

Du hast technisch recht. Ich mache den Fehler bewusst, da der Begriff "asozial" derweilen zu negativ konotiert ist. Wenn du jemand das an den Kopf haust ist die Person meiner Erfahrung nach automatisch beleidigt und du kannst den Rest des Gesprächs knicken.

Dein Schreibstil kam mir bekannt vor. Ich habe mir deshalb erlaubt deine Post-Historie durchzulesen und siehe da, vor einigen Wochen hast du eine ähnliche Frage gestellt, auf die ich auch geanwortet habe.

Scheinbar hat sich ja die Situation mit deinen Kollegen nicht gebessert. Ich kann dir nur raten mal in dich zu gehen und genau zu erkunden ob du nur introvertiert bist, oder ob sich das zum anti-sozialen Verhalten zuspitzt. Arbeiten tut so gut wie jeder im Team. Wenn du dich dem Teamgedanken verschließt bist du das Problem. Wenn du kein Problem damit hast dich kollegial zu verhalten aber dein Team zu anstrengend ist, dann ist es doch eine super Idee sich versetzen zu lassen. Erwähne das als Motivation aber auf keinem Fall in einem Vorstellungsgespräch.

Can anyone tell me if it's worth playing now, if you never played those games when they came out and don't feel nostalgia while playing them?

KDE: update icon thinks I have a light plasma theme (i.imgur.com)

Since I upgraded all my devices to KDE 6 I have this weird issue with my laptop and media PC. The software update icon that sits in the tray and starts Discover seems to think I'm using a light plasma theme. It's only this one icon, and it's the same for all icon themes. I do not have this issue on my desktop, which has the same updates (comparison in screenshot).

I have tried the following to no avail:

  • switching between multiple icon themes
  • switching between KDE light and dark plasma themes
  • deleting ~/.share/icon-cache.kcache

Anyone have any further ideas?

Reddit is blocking users based on user agents? (feddit.de)

Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn't doing anything wrong. Let's hope this isn't some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.

Lightweight touch-capable distro (feddit.de)
 

I recently was able to acquire an older Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 with an Intel i3-4030Y and 4GB of RAM.

I installed Fedora GNOME spin thinking GNOME might be the right DE for touch interfaces. Sadly it behaves sluggishly and the touch capabilities are lacking. Nautilus for example can't deal with long clicks to simulate right clicks, making file browsing a chore since I need to plug in a mouse and keyboard.

Does anyone have any experience with older convertibles? What distro do you use to make use of the touch interface while keeping a snappy system?

Help request: labeling BTRFS encrypted partitions (feddit.de)
 

I've installed Fedora 38 with an encrypted system partition since I'll be traveling with my device. OS is running fine but now I'd like to have a more human readable label in dolphin for that partition. All renaming attempts in the terminal with "e2label" and "btrfs filesystem label" failed. The KDE partition manager didn't help either. Disks at least shows me the option to add a label, but can't unmount the partition to do so (Error unmounting, udisks-error-quark, 14).

Does anyone have any experience and would like to share?

ALPHV ransomware group claims to have stolen data from Reddit. (twitter.com)
 

The Reddit Files

6/17/2023, 9:28:19 PM

Operators broke into Reddit on February 5, 2023, and took 80 gigabytes (zipped) of data. Reddit was emailed twice by operators, once on April 13 and one again on June 16.

There was no attempt to find out what we took.

This is again another instance of Steve Huffman undermining his own agenda. He makes an effort to appear tough, but we are all aware of what happens to individuals like him when businesses go public. such as Adam Neumann of WeWork.

I told them in my first email that I would wait for their IPO to come along. But this seems like the perfect opportunity! We are very confident that Reddit will not pay any money for their data. But I am very happy to know that the public will be able to read about all the statistics they track about their users and all the interesting confidential data we took. Did you know they also silently censor users? Along with artifacts from their GitHub!

In our last email to them, we stated that we wanted $4.5 million in exchange for the deletion of the data and our silence. As we also stated, if we had to make this public, then we now demand that they also withdraw their API pricing changes along with our money or we will leak it.

We expect to leak the data.

Pass on the torch, Spez, you're no longer cut out for this kind of work.

Schwierigkeiten Communities auf lemmy.ml beizutreten (feddit.de)
 

Die meisten Communities auf lemmy.ml, denen ich versuche beizutreten, bleiben endlos (sprich mehrere Tage) auf "Subscribe Pending". Alle anderen Föderationen funzen super.

Ist das ein allgemeines Problem? Ist es bekannt, bzw. eine Lösung in Sicht? Macht es Sinn so was hier zu fragen oder muss bei denen in einer Community posten?

Mutireddit Alternative bei Lemmy? (feddit.de)
 

Ich habe mir bei Reddit gerne meine Interessen in Gruppen aufgeteilt. Somit hatte ich Multireddits zu Linux / FOSS, Gaming, Kochen, usw... jeweils mit unterschiedlichen Subs darin.

Gibt es so eine Funktion auch bei Lemmy? Oder muss ich erstmal damit klarkommen, dass mir alles bei "Subscribed" zusammen angezeigt wird?

Free Media Heck Yeah Backup (web.archive.org)
 

r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH over on reddit has an excellent compilation of useful links and guides regarding piracy, that surpasses anything on r/piracy. I took the liberty of creating a Wayback Machine snapshot to preserve that wiki.

That list gets updated still from time to time. If anyone has an idea where to host it somewhere safe to keep working on it, let me know, I'll gladly do the footwork.
