LibreTranslate is a bit hit or miss depending on the language, but generally speaking it is quite good, but not Deepl level good.
And doesn’t it seem foolish to oppose mass transit even from the selfish car driver standpoint?
City mass transit often comes with the idea to exclude cars from inner city areas, or at least slow them down and use street space for better purposes. Which is why car lobby associations usually oppose them.
And XMPP (1999).
Can’t say much about the other forks, but Sharkey seems quite nice. Also, they recently developed a nice XMPP account integration for it, but it would probably also work with other forks.
Looks like those previous DNS issues are a repeated “feature” now 😭
I am currently looking into some mitigations I can do, but if this now happens every 3 weeks I will need to talk to our ISP about finding another solution…
Hmm, that doesn’t sound like my issue. As soon as I turn on SteamVR the sound goes haywire. I can still use other headphones fine without any issue, but the built in ones have distorted sound with SteamVR running (but not when I turn that off).
No problems with the built in headphones? I can’t get them to sound right… there seems to be some sort of samplerate shift as soon as I start SteamVR with my HTC Vive Pro.
Ah, I was hoping to hear about experiences with the PSVR2 on Linux. Too bad it doesn’t fully work yet. But that it is only a problem with the app might mean Monado support is possible.
Yeah, Occulus and Linux are not the best friends. There are some work arounds to make it somewhat work with SteamVR, but don’t expect too much.
My recommendation would be to look for a second hand Valve Index or HTC Vive if using it on Linux is your priority.
Or wait for the rumored new standalone headset from Valve, but that will probably not happen before end of 2025 if at all.
I wonder if their recent bid to take over Intel, is related.
The irony would be very thik as Qualcomm played a big role in killing Intel’s 2010er efforts to enter the mobile sector.
No, as only the instance admin that hosts the original account can indirectly associate a user handle with actual “personal data”. An admin of a federated instance can not, as they do not have any “personal data” to correlate it with.
If a user themselves posts “personal data” publicly it is not covered by the GDPR (IANAL) and thus not subject to mandatory deletion requests. Of course deleting everything is often the easiest course of action, but this is not legally required.
It mostly only effects their own usage to be banned from another server, so why would an instance admin care?
Lemmy doesn’t federate “personal data” to other servers. The GDPR has a strict definition what can be “personal data”. The Wikipedia has a good overview of the relevant laws in various countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data
Requesting the deletion of posts and comments that they agreed to be federated when signing up is purely voluntary but usually done as it is fairly easy to ban a user and delete their contributions.
I don’t think these people are necessarily “toxic users”, but rather just deluded ones. It’s a bit like that saying about privilege… you only think about it when someone is threatening to take it away.
The asymmetry of effort between moderators and regular participants is what forces this hidden sense of entitlement into the open.
I think this is the root of the “mods are assholes” issue. It’s not that the mods are power tripping. It’s that they are placed in a role that will lead inevitably to toxic behavior, unless someone turns out to be a solid gold saint, which few of us are.
While part of it, I think the bigger issue is that the typical male participant has “main character syndrome”, and when a mod doesn’t want to spend a lot of time with them specifically because they have better things to do, these participants turn to whining about unfair treatment, when in reality it is just their overinflated sense of entitlement.
Social democrats do not code as “right” anywhere in the world.
Except in Portugal, where the conservative party calls themselves Social Democrats.
Any pc with two network ports and Ipfire will do. Easy to set up and configure.
Says the person who doesn’t watch the full video because it apparently doesn’t fit into their ideological world view…
Well, if you only watch the beginning how can you assume it is the “full picture”.
But besides it being not the full argument, the video is largely about how the counter arguments and economic models used to inform governments are even less the “full picture”.
Thanks and done.
