  • OpenAI plans to enshitify ChatGPT with adverts

    Jump

  • My first thought when GPT first released was "oh this is how search engines will be able to serve ads without disclosing that they are serving ads"

  • Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil?

    Jump

  • The remasters of 2, 3 and 4 are phenomenal.

  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • It's theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it's commonplace.

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

    Jump

  • It's for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • Well, it is rebellious.

  • Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy

    Jump

  • Not saying you're wrong (pretty sure you're not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

    Jump

  • As others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.

    Also you didn't ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it's a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.

  • Spotify bought WhoSampled

    Jump

  • Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has

  • Is this the infamous "Night Bird"?

    Jump

  • I don't know but it's a bop

  • Mastodon CEO steps down with €1M payout and a deep sigh

    Jump

  • That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

    "Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there's a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone."

  • Mastodon CEO steps down with €1M payout and a deep sigh

    Jump

  • Y'all know damn well Corridor8031 didn't donate a dime.

  • Deleted

    Google releases its 'Google Sans Flex' font to the public

    Jump

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

  • TeraBox, the most insane cloud storage

    Jump

  • I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

    A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

  • is Proton the only VPN providing a openvpn configuration? (preferably no U.S./Israeli products)

    Jump

  • Colm looks so uncomfortable without the console in Transporter Room Three

    Jump

  • Probably the first time he had to wear pants to work in a while

  • Can Google read my Signal messages on stock Android?

    Jump

  • Oh that's great to know!

    "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

    What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?

    Colm Meaney wanted to play O'Brien as American. “Rick Berman sat me down and said, ‘The whole notion of this show is that it’s multiracial’… I reluctantly started to play him Irish"
