Guitar Center Open For Legends Contest: Ed Sheeran by CrypticCoffee in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

I don't know if I could. There is strong arguments on both sides and I don't want to lean to either side.

Or not and wait for stadium owners to pull the plug and out themselves as prick's, then tour in non-zionist supporting venues.

I had a look into Kraft. Looks like I won't be buying Heinz beans, Phillidelphia spread, Maxwell House in addition to all the Nestle products I boycott.

Void Linux maintainer orphans 100+ packages over AI policy dispute by CrypticCoffee in c/programming@programming.dev

Sorry, but what does AI achieve that static code analysis tools don't? Apart from maybe ridiculous environmental impact?

Valve releases drivers, notes to make Windows work on Steam hardware, but refuses to support it - doesn’t offer support for ‘Windows on Steam Hardware,’ gaming company provides resources ‘as is’ by CrypticCoffee in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Why support it? Their specialty is Linux.

What do you think of this prediction? by CrypticCoffee in c/steam@lemmy.ml

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 129 points 2 years ago

Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they'll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won't care. If none do, someone will want to.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

Fossify Gallery (fork of Simple Gallery)

Fossify File Manager (fork of Simple File Manager)

Fossify Phone (fork of Simple Dialer)

Fossify Calendar (fork of Simple Calendar)

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban by CrypticCoffee in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 83 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you're on the country code, you open yourself up to risk. ml has been a risk before.

Your headline is misleading though. Taliban didn't kill it. Admin did.

How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse? by CrypticCoffee in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 85 points 2 years ago

I don't think you guys cared when you defederated from the rest of the fediverse and turned up your nose at everyone else. I'm not sure why you care now. You guys go and do your thing, but I don't think you're very relevant to the fediverse.

You speak very vaguely, and I don't think you're being fully honest with your reasoning, but by this point, I don't think it really matters.

Taylor Swift's love story with Travis Kelce generates 138 TONS of CO2 in 3 months by CrypticCoffee in c/climate@slrpnk.net

Is it weird that the only celebrity who's getting a public print of emissions is one that is despised by a political party for getting people out to vote?

I don't really care much about her, but this feels like "how do we get young people to not listen to this person... ah, let's go with emissions".

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Looking for Moderators (lemmy.ml)

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail by CrypticCoffee in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

I have suspected for a while it is astroturfing. Same as with GIMP and Libre Office where inevitably someone will trash the UI as it's "soooo bad". If you say a lie, and repeat it enough, people start to believe it.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
