Is Qobuz blocking VPNs now? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Proton VPN was garbage for streaming services. I haven't had problems since switching to Mulvad.

You may not want to hear this, but if you were really concerned about privacy, you would switch to Linux.

I guess it's a good thing that all my guns came from person to person or gun show transactions.

Now the other shoe drops.

Good old bait and switch.

I enjoy this content.

We all need role models.

We need a piracy exception written into law for service manuals and wiring diagrams -- and we need repair pros to share the docs. How can local govs make this happen? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

That would basically require ending capitalism

Stop, my penis can only get so erect! 😂

We need to completely do away with intellectual property laws.

If it's not a physical object, it shouldn't be protected by copyright.

Bold of them to think I wouldn't take a car if they weren't tracked as well.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone who values their privacy would use any of the LLM services.

Download it and run it on your own computer.

Is water an acid or a base? in c/science_memes@mander.xyz

Considering that water autoionizes, yes - it is both an acid and a base.

Tap to pay? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm interested in using something akin to Google Pay or Apple Pay.

I like the idea of having it generate a token for security instead of giving my actual card number. I don't want my information going to Google.

Is there some alternative that can be used on GrapheneOS to mask the card number and allow tap tp pay?

Jack Dorsey wants to get rid of copyright laws (lemm.ee)
 

I know he wants to use all the data to train LLMs, but do you think this would positively affect the average person, or would the laws still target the little guys?

Cars are scary (lemm.ee)
 

I went war-driving on a whim today. You wouldn't believe how much personal information your car leaks out. I saw names like "Drew's Chevy" and Oscar's Audi S5".

I locked my car down as much as possible when I got it.

Distro suggestions (lemm.ee)
 

I’m looking for a distro that will be able to get the most out of my graphics on an MSI Katana laptop.

Right now I have Debian Bookworm running the Nvidia binary driver, and the graphics lags a bit compared to when this laptop had Windows 11 on it.

I’m playing Final Fantasy XIV, and doing web browsing on it.

I’d like to stay with something Debian based and running Gnome. Ubuntu is not ideal because I have trust issues with Canonical since the Amazon ad debacle back in the late 00s.

Can y’all give suggestions for a distribution that might work better, or some tweaks that might optimize the performance on Debian?

Should I just wait for Trixie and see if that give better performance?

I’m just spitballing for ideas here. Thanks in advance for any advice.
