  • Nintendo's Palworld lawsuit suffers another potential blow as US takes "rare" step of re-examining previously granted Pokémon patent

  • Very unlikely, but I hope they go "Mario, this sucks actually, so you can't have it anymore."

  • Oh my word, I need to see if this work well with Western comics.

  • Everything would be so easy if we just had a good local comic reader for smartphones 😭

  • Google Removed 749 Million Anna's Archive URLs from its Search Results * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna's Archive itself is a search engine, it's better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

  • It took over twenty years just for Linux to enter the conversation at the enthusiast level, it took a lot, and I do mean a lot, of enshittification on Microsoft's part and decades of campaigning by free software ideologues for us to get to this point, and if Windows still worked like Windows 7 we still wouldn't be anywhere close.

    OpenBSD is super niche relative to FreeBSD, which is super niche relative to Linux. I don't even know if it was built for desktop use, or if it happens to be usable as one thanks to Linux DEs being compatible so long as they don't heavily depend on Linux specific stuff. Though I guess it can be a desktop OS in the most conservative sense of that term even without all that stuff.

  • Ubuntu had issues with it's snap store as well. I think there will be more security oriented distros in the future like Kodachi, but it's best to be cautious in general these days.

  • Not for long, Linux will get targeted like this as it becomes more popular. It's more of an argument for OpenBSD if anything, since OpenBSD will never be popular on desktop and it's developers take security very seriously.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

    Jump

  • I think it is possible, either by charging money, or by decentralizing like PeerTube. The thing is, it doesn't matter. YouTubers won't switch, they just don't care.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

    Jump

  • I'm talking from a viewer's perspective. There is very little I can watch on PeerTube. Now, if I wanted to share videos on the internet as a hobby PeerTube would be the obvious choice. But as a platform to spend time in, it falls short.

    It's not PeerTube's fault, it's just sadly Google can walk all over YouTubers all year long and they wouldn't even consider publishing on multiple platforms. It's quite telling that only YouTube competetor that got any traction at all is one with a video library mirroring tool so that the channel owner never has to touch it.

  • PeerTube is a hard sell. Finding things to watch on there is a pain since most instances are trash. Only ones I can think of that are worth using are diode.zone and tilvids. Tilvids is nice but a lot of their material is uploaded from YouTube and the sponsorships are still embedded. If Sponsorblock was configured to work with it though it would be interesting.

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • I hope Raptor Computing sticks around. If I manage to get a well paying job I'd love to move on to the POWER ISA on desktop and a Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch.

    I know it's exteremely expensive (I mean the POWER desktop) but with the recent Android news I believe the time for compromise has passed. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do so should adopt fully open hardware whenever possible.

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • I don't think this is it, a lot of people were ok with that. The problem is drivers, they seemingly never matured enough to get the device to a usable state. Why?

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • Except it absolutely did. Sure, it got hardware in the hands of developers, but that effort didn't amount to anything. Pinebook paved the way for Pinebook Pro, which made good on company's promise of an open, affordable, low power laptop for Linux enthusiasts.

    This never materialized with Pinephone, it didn't even mature enough to satisfy most of the early adopters, who for the most part only wanted reliable calling and texting.

  • Holy shit, I didn't even know about that. Damn...

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • It absolutely failed. Pinebook succeeded, they wanted to build a cheap Chromebook alternative for Linux enthusiasts and they did it. Pinebook Pro was a functional product and it was well received.

    Pinephone failed, it made some progress but it never reached a point where a Linux user with basic needs could daily drive it. It seems like Linux phone space moved on to Halium at this point.

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • They did, it's not great and device support is very limited.

  • Have you changed you youtube pfp to clippy ?

    Jump

  • I didn't because I don't use my YouTube account anymore, I only logged in with PipePipe so that I can watch age restricted videos.
