SLPT: Change your password to the word "incorrect". (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

That way, when you forget it, you'll get a helpful reminder that your password is incorrect.

What would be the problem if Threads federated with Lemmy&co in the future? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There is a known strategy called EEE (Embrace, extend, and extinguish).

First, they embrace the open web. Millions of people who never would've joined the Fediverse (and, probably, don't even know what the Fediverse is) flock to Threads and start to interact with us.

Then, they extend the open web, adding features to Threads that aren't compatible with our servers. People on Threads don't understand what's wrong with our server (even though it's Threads that's the source of incompatibility).

Finally, they decide they're "having trouble maintaining compatibility with third party servers" and start to break off from us, leaving us with no way to interact with our new friends. Unless, of course, we make a free Threads account...

Google Talk is perhaps the most relevant example of this. Here's more details.

Meta seems to have money to burn, so they'll gladly pay for the disk space to host your uncompressible images. Here's a Python script to generate them!

generate.py

from PIL import Image
from tqdm import tqdm
import numpy as np
import sys
import os

number_of_images = 1000
width = 2048
height = 1024

for filename in tqdm(range(number_of_images)):
	image = Image.fromarray(np.random.randint(0, 256, (height, width, 3), dtype=np.uint8))
	image.save(str(filename) + ".png")

Yours faithfully,

Future you

Are you sure that's a bank? It doesn't look anything like any bank I've ever seen.

Fully understand if this is impossible, but is there any way to pirate/emulate switch games? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Fitgirl's repacks already contain the necessary files. These steps are unnecessary. There are also alternative ways of sourcing the files. :)

In what way does yuzu require a Switch? That hasn't been my experience.

They're rubbish bins (or perhaps textile recycling bins, but probably not) specifically for national, regional, and/or local flags.

Edited to clarify: No judgment, I am not making a political or societal argument, just posting about a thing I learned exists. If this post gets hijacked I'll ask the mods to lock it.

I'm not from Germany and not a lawyer so take this with a pinch of salt, but they wouldn't be offering a settlement at such an early stage if they were confident they could successfully sue you. If it were me, I'd ignore them, and if it gets to the point I can no longer ignore them, I'd deny deny deny.
