any change would break a billion things in real life, so we could at least have a proper replacement.

the problem with signal here is that it’s centralized, probably couldn’t even handle the load besides other problems. but that’s solvable, like look at simplex which is similar

usernames, like in signal. opt-in, customizable. maybe also add something automatically for the locality

not op but signal has basically solved this. users are not just randomly accessible by anyone. they can share a long URL that contains an ID, or make a short username they like and pass around to people. and even then the recipient has to accept being contacted by each other user

true that signal now relies on the phone number system for trust and safety, but that’s not core to how signal works, it could be replaced if they really wanted.

lemmy instance == piefed instance
lemmy community == piefed community

this asklemmy thing is a community

the topics are a different thing though, I think you need to request the admins to assign your community to a topic.

I would not want my VPN to be hosted in the US, and not only because of trump.

oh that’s not bad as I though first

yeah but the blue ray disks must be expensive. can’t OBS use the capture cards source directly? v4l2 or anything?

how do you make the image visible on your screen, to begin with?

there must be a better way than screen recording. I think you are using way too much bitrate that way

yeah not all invidiouses allow proxying the video, and at some it used to be off by default

I have the same issue with lemmy, and formerly with reddit

because it’s useful for people who are not you

pins are attached to the specific window. if you close the windows one by one it trashes them. use the quit function in the menu on the right, that it does not trash the windows, each of them will reopen next timealong with the pins

separate settings, separate addons, separate about prefs. also for when the PC is used by more than one person but there is only one user account

how well does invidious work on the TV? how easy are the controls?

framework could not care less if a supported project (actually 2) is using their publicity to loudly spread their violent political stances

and that’s the better outcome

well I assumed your devices have 4 and such GB of RAM, but yeah at 8 GB memory efficiency is not a pressing problem.

like I have a laptop with 2 GB that runs windows 10 acceptably, there was a time when that was my main on-the-go setup. that memory is almost completely used up by just logging in to kde plasma. memory compression is of course not a choice with the cpu it has though

it is a big deal, because they are deceiving and taking advantage of so many people

Fortunately, Pluton never caught on and that hasn’t happened so far.

I’m confused. don’t all recent AMD and intel CPUs have pluton included? I remember such an AMD announcement from ryzen 6000 and onwards, and for intel too

I’m pretty sure that unless you use some unusual SBC, all your computer parts are proprietary hardware.
