Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.

I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.

Should all of those tags get prefixed with disused:?

I think not. It’s been a little bit since I’ve studied or used the disused:* prefix, but I believe it’s only needed on the main feature tag. (citation needed, ofc)

I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.

What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.

The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on !fediverse@lemmy.world.

Why do people use crypto for what?

+1 for PrivateBin, which has a public instance at https://privatebin.io/.

On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.

I use a locally run open source LLM.

How? GPT4All + Llama or something else? I just started dipping my toe in locally run open source LLM.

not fine tuning a LLM to match tone and style counts as either misuse or hobbyist use

You’ve hit the nail on the head with this one. I think the other commenters are right, that a lot of people will misuse the tool, but nonetheless it is an issue with the users, not the tool itself.

I wonder how much of it is Disney thinks this might actually work versus the ole delay, delay, delay tactic. Probably a little bit of both.

The current sale price of $25 is within a few bucks of the historic low. (source)

And, it’s playable on Linux.

 

Edit: The way I had it in the photos is correct. Thanks for helping me out, those who chimed in!

Original question:

I replaced the straight handlebars with risers on my mountain bike, and because of the slightly longer distances involved, I have to replace the brake and gear cables with slightly longer ones.

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the cable clamp for the front derailleur before I undid it. Now I'm clueless as to how to route the replacement cable - basically the same problem as this poster on RetroBike, except their derailleur is different from mine.

I have super old parts, so I've had a hard time finding documentation online. The best documentation I've found is the following:

In the service instructions, third column, "SIS adjustment" section, three-quarters of the way down, it says:

  • Cut off any unnecessary cable, attach an end cup, and hook it onto the pin.
  • Note: Pass the cable through as shown in the illustration.

What is absolutely throwing me for a loop is the illustration seems to show the cable running from the bottom upward, but... how? Can anyone help me figure out what I'm missing? I feel like a dumb dumb.

EDIT: After discussing this on Matrix, I believe the answer is in the mod logs. The author of the post in question was issued a temporary ban in another community on lemmy.ml, which I suspect is affecting the display of this user’s content across all of lemmy.ml even though the post in question is in a different community from the one that issued the ban (which is kinda screwy tbh).

Description of the problem

The last several months, I've been trying to build up the community over at !caps@lemmy.world. It's going mostly well, but one thing that has me scratching my head lately is that when I'm browsing from lemmy.ml (i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/caps@lemmy.world), which is 99% of the time, I can't see the most recent post. Oddly enough, the author is also from lemmy.ml, and I have previously interacted w/ the same user in the comments of older posts, so I know it's not a user-specific issue. I've double checked my profile settings and haven't blocked the community, instance, or user. This issue seems specific to lemmy.ml because I can see it when I browse to the community from other instances.

Any ideas why this could be happening and what I can do to resolve it? Thanks.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — For people living with a developmental disability like Down syndrome or autism, making friends and feeling like a part of the community can sometimes be challenging.

A local nonprofit called Best Buddies of Virginia and DC is helping to foster friendships between people with and without disabilities to help promote inclusivity. We caught up with a pair of friends. This is their story.

A long-uncertain plan to add protected bike lanes to an over three-mile portion of Connecticut Avenue in Northwest DC has been officially canceled, according to city officials. But is this really the end of the battle between those who favor the lanes and those who oppose them?

Executives at the Washington Area Bicyclist Association tell Washingtonian that they are gearing up to push back against the decision. On their website, they’ve posted a petition to restore the plan for bike lanes, and they are currently making plans to speak out at upcoming DDOT hearings.

EDIT: After reading all the responses, I’ve decided to allow cookies to persist after they close the browser, which I expect will make it so that 2FA doesn’t kick in as often, at least not on their most frequently used web sites. I may also look into privacy oriented browser extensions that might offer some protection, such as Privacy Badger. Thanks, all!

OP: I know two factor authentication is considered more secure than just passwords, but here’s the deal: One of my family members uses Linux Mint on their laptop (at my recommendation and yes, they are aware that it’s not a Mac), and while they’ve mostly adapted to the different workflows (coming from a macbook), one of their biggest pain points is that web sites are constantly challenging them because they don’t recognize their machine. It’s frustrating to them because they used to just allow all cookies in Safari, whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed. I know this isn’t a Linux/Firefox issue, but I think they might not see it that way and I worry they’ll get frustrated to the point that they’ll go out and splurge on a new macbook air when they already have a perfectly functional laptop with functional OS.

Right now I’m thinking of adding their most frequently used web sites as exceptions in Firefox settings so at least those cookies would persist after closing the browser, making them easier to log into. Or maybe I’ll just allow all cookies indefinitely, although I’d rather not just throw in the towel on Big Surveillance. Is there another way to walk that line between convenience and security that I’m not thinking of? Should I just remove my tin foil hat and allow all cookies indefinitely?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Not sure if this is allowed here, and it's not my playlist, but I thought I'd post these tutorials since I've found them helpful for learning the basics.
