A website called The Pirate Bay with nothing to pay doesn't look the official way to acquire or watch the last Disney movie to me.

Maybe memoria but I don't think it support e2ee. However it is a self-hosted solution which is more private than a unecrypted SaaS with tons of telemetry.

That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call "truly open source".

Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn't respect my freedom and thus isn't Libreware / Free Software.

Also copyleft for the win!

It's less resilient, honestly with today speeds it is not that less efficient I would say.

It depends on your local laws I think. I'm pretty sure downloading free copyrighted product from an unauthorized source is still illegal in France for exemple.

It doesn't have started yet, let's keep some hopium :)

I did not read it in its entirety I have to admit. I've read what I think would be interesting then do a bit of research on the man.

Oh yes I should listen to a salesman selling me blockchain technology instead of currating the best Andreas Antonopoulos speech.

 

I'm currently using an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB and I don't planned to change it any time soon. However I have a couple of friends that are entering PC gaming or upgrading their existing rigs and asks a couple of things to me their nerdy friendly PC gamer friends.

Of course they are pretty much all tired of the current Windows bloat, spy and flakyness so we're looking if their gaming habits and libraries would be a good match for Linux and Proton.

Considering that AMD are the best supported GPU for Linux Gaming and that NVidia is moving away from accessible pricing I was wondering if including Intel Arc would be a good or a bad idea for my proposals. I know it won't offer the PC MASTER RACE experience but honestly who cares. My friend just wants a cheap but reliable gaming PC to play casually at 1440p or maybe even staying at 1080p. If intel won't suit I will probably recommend second hand AMD Radeon to fit their budget.

Anyone here have tried some Intel Arc gaming on Linux? What was your experience? Any issues I should be aware? Recommendation? What distro have the best out-of-the-box experience?

Thanks

Edit: LinusTechTips recently released a video on the different GPU brands for linux gaming including Intel Arc B580 12GB

 

Lemmy devs asking for money and added a crypto option on https://join-lemmy.org/donate with BTC, ETH and XMR !

Nice.

 

La surveillance des télécommunications ne peut fonctionner sans la collaboration des entreprises de la branche. La loi sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (LSCPT) prévoit différentes obligations selon le type de services que les entreprises proposent et elle classe les personnes obligées de collaborer dans différentes catégories. La compétence d'imposer des obligations supplémentaires ou d'accorder des dispenses pour certaines d'entre elles revient au Conseil fédéral, qui fixe les critères à ces fins.

L'ordonnance sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OSCPT) classe les fournisseurs de services de télécommunication (FST) dans deux sous-catégories : les FST ayant des obligations complètes et les FST ayant des obligations restreintes. Les fournisseurs de services de communication dérivés (FSCD), quant à eux, sont désormais rangés dans trois sous-catégories, selon le niveau de leurs obligations, qui peuvent être minimales, restreintes ou complètes. Ces distinctions doivent permettre une gradation plus équilibrée des obligations et un rapprochement entre les FST et les FSCD de taille et d'importance économique comparables. Un FSCD ayant des obligations complètes doit réaliser au moins cent millions de francs de chiffre d'affaires et/ou avoir plus d'un million d'utilisateurs. Nouveaux types de renseignements - suppression des chiffrements

Trois types de renseignements et deux types de surveillance sont par ailleurs créés à la faveur de cette révision. L'objectif est d'une part de standardiser certains renseignements et surveillances rétroactives servant à l'identification d'utilisateurs et qui étaient jusqu'ici traités comme des cas spéciaux et, d'autre part, de créer la possibilité de ne surveiller qu'une partie des données de contenus lors de surveillances en temps réel.

Un nouveau type de renseignements permet la constitution d'intersections des résultats de l'identification des utilisateurs de deux connexions internet ou davantage. Les autres concernent la livraison d'indications sur le dernier accès à un service de courrier électronique ou à un autre service de télécommunication ou service de communication dérivé.

Un nouveau type de surveillance a pour objet la surveillance en temps réel de données secondaires et du contenu tronqué de services d'accès au réseau, tandis qu'un autre est prévu pour la surveillance rétroactive aux fins de l'identification des utilisateurs de connexions à l'internet.

L'OSCPT précise par ailleurs l'obligation légale pour les fournisseurs de supprimer les chiffrements qu'ils ont opérés. Cette obligation concerne tous les fournisseurs (FST et FSCD) ayant des obligations restreintes ou complètes. Les chiffrements de bout en bout - par exemple dans les services de messagerie - ne sont explicitement pas concernés.

Certaines dispositions de l'ordonnance du DFJP sur la mise en œuvre de la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OME-SCPT) doivent également être modifiées. Les délais de traitement doivent ainsi être adaptés pour prendre en compte les nouveaux types de renseignements dans l'OSCPT. Pour le reste, les modifications sont d'ordre rédactionnel.

La consultation dure jusqu'au 6 mai 2025.

 

I tried to make a list on AlternativeTo that has all the apps you ever needs. I tried to avoid services and stick with apps, however there is a few services like Cloud-sync Notes, Password manager, E-mail aliases and a few others. I tried to stick with Free (as in free beer) Apps and when there is great options Free (as in Freedom) and open source.

Do you have any recommandations so I can improve that list without bloating it too much ?

 

I don't use Google account on most of my devices. I have an older phone on LineageOS 22.1 that I use mainly to test apps. It has GApps installed but I never sign in. I have faced a couple apps that on startup are launching the PlayStore app and ask me to sign in, I guess for "security". Is there a way to bypass that ? I don't want to link my Google profile and would love to use this app offline like I should.

Is this something that could be done with LuckyPatcher ? Is there easier methods ?

 

I have been using ChimeraOS on my living room PC and it has worked well most of the time without issues. Recently I had audio stuttering on a new game and fixed it by using an older Proton build. But then I started a game that I have played many hours on this machine without any issue and suddenly had audio stuttering again on this title that previously had no audio issue with. Then I realized it is a problem with most of my library... This is really annoying for some title.

Anyone experienced something similar recently ? I have updated ChimeraOS twice since and updated the Proton Experimental build etc... Don't know if it is related to Proton, to a driver, to Chimera... How could I debug this ?

 

Pretty much the title. I installed my GOG games through Lutris and wanted to rapidly import them to Steam. Same for emulated ROM. Do you have advices ?

 

Would like to see open source client such as Infinity, Stealth, RedReader, etc... going to lemmy.

The best case scenario would be all reddit client including Apollo, Boost, etc... supporting the transition to lemmy but this is quite unlikely unfortunately...

 

SimpleMobileTools are making simple yet great open source android apps. No ads, no trackers, cheap price or even free. I personnaly love Simple Gallery Pro and have a lot of respect for the devs, I would like to donate since they accept cryptos... unfortunately only BTC, ETH and LTC. Let them heard of the benefits of Monero so I (and maybe you) could donate to them for their work !

 

I recently discover NowPayments which looks like a cool services but does not suit well with a Monero mindset. I understand that it will have some compromises for using a service like that no matter how serious the ones running it are. I was just wondering if their was a simple way for a commerce to be paid in euro/dollar or whatever currency is prefered and that the customer uses XMR without comprimising any information on his/her side.

 

Often people tend to say due to the lack of funding open source apps have bad UI and also sometimes terrible UX. While it’s not entierly false I’ve found myself some beautifuly designed apps and wanted to share them here.
