Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replacedEnglish6·2 months agoEmby is closed source and costs money to have access to all features. I’d recommend Jellyfin because it’s a free and open source fork of Emby with almost the exact same functionality.
Who wouldn’t applaud fsck? It’s a great tool that can fix your corrupted file system.

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety ActEnglish32·4 months agoIs it even possible for Ofcom to legally fine 4chan for these issues? How does a company in the UK fine a US company?

Congrats on switching to Firefox, it’s the best option. Ublock origin is a plus as well.

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis RossmannEnglish16·6 months agoWhen it comes to the current final frontier, Linux phones, what brands/models would be the best option? Or are you all really recommending iPhones?
Not open source, but apparently not fully closed source either: https://vivaldi.com/source/.

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple's Greed Is Finally BackfiringEnglish5·6 months agoI thought this was a really fascinating video, since Apple Explained is one of the biggest Apple-Stans on youtube. He finally realized that his favorite company is wrought with greed, and was willing enough to make a video about it. The content or his ideas don’t necessarily matter; it’s his revelation that’s intriguing.

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chanEnglish375·7 months agoThe Tea app is agnostic. While its purpose and main use case was made for the safety of women in the dating scene, it was inevitably used to spread exaggerated or misleading information about otherwise innocent men. Imagine being a privacy-conscious individual, and breaking up with a toxic woman. She could go on to spread lies about you and even upload pictures of you to the reverse image search/ai. So even if you were doing everything right from a privacy standpoint, you’d still end up in someone’s private database, subjected to ai training, shared with the government, or who knows what. While I do see the purpose of apps like these, they can effectively take away someone’s privacy/dignity without them even knowing about it. Now imagine being a 4channer, someone probably even more privacy-conscious than lemmings, and possibly experiencing mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or autism; of course they’re drawn to hacking an app that would destroy their privacy. They are not sane individuals, so this event really was inevitable.

The best case of action would be to install an alternative operating system like Linux or a BSD-derivative. It’s counter-intuitive to “fuck Microsoft” when you are still using their OS.
Does paying a freelance artist to make art for you mean that you are an artist? The same argument applies for your signature on AI art. You only described it, that doesn’t mean that you made it. This belongs in C/Adoringdystopia
Could very well be Gendo, because he’s spearheading the whole operation. The country and its government are two separate entities
Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish2·8 months agoThis is only partially true, as the First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” As you can see, practice of religion is not prohibited. My main point is that prayer will probably not have any meaningful impact on the success of immoral decisions.
It looks non-free as well
