You are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.
I’m sorry you have been suffering ads all this time.
FSR1 is pretty bad as it’s just upscaling the static image, I agree.
FSR2/3, XeSS and DLSS are temporal, meaning they use info from the previous frames to construct a higher resolution image that gives much better results. They also need to be implemented in the game engine, meaning not every game supports them.
"Fuck the white supremacist reddit anti-tankie admins", I’ll start my own reddit with blackjack and hookers at lemmy.marxist-leninist to host /r/communism - the creator of Lemmy and admin of lemmy.ml.
FSR2/XeSS upscaling pretty much acts as free anti aliasing, making it look better. And you get better UI rendering.
Specifically, the cybertruck.
Instead they made it so shoddy that it breaks if you take it to a car wash.
Though they can induce another type of driver fatigue - it makes driving boring as heck as you don’t need to do anything. I can’t use line keep myself as it just makes me really tired and I’ll risk falling asleep.
That’s what happens to all alternatives at the start, only really the content that isn’t suitable for the main platform migrates there. It requires a mass exodus because of something major, like what happened with reddit 3rd party apps or twitter/X & the block change , to get enough regular users there.
Lemmy literally exists because Dessalines, a “long time Marxist-leninist” decided that “Fuck the while supremacist Reddit admins” and made an alternative to host r/communism because reddit is run by an “anti-tankie scum”.
Denuvo is an interesting one, as it’s both very hated, but also rather effective - in the last four years, only around 25 Denuvo games out of a hundred have been cracked. So with that, pirates can’t even rely on waiting as something you want to play might get cracked next week, or it might take years or simply never get cracked - poor Tourist Bus Simulator, nobody loves you.
So it turns in to a fairly simple math problem, though one with both variables being unknown (to me at least) - how many people who would buy the game don’t because it has Denuvo, vs how many people that would pirate the game buy it instead when they can’t.
The only people who surely benefit from this mess are let’s players and streamers :P
Illegal like sharing pirated media.
It can’t be commercialised, but if you just “happen” to find the software somewhere, you are allowed to use it.
Personally, I’m okay with Denuvo and other similar DRM when it’s used for the intended purpose - to prevent launch day hype piracy. The first few weeks/months are crucial for sales, and I can understand why developers do it.
But after that, especially after the game is cracked, remove the fucking DRM, it did what it could and is now useless, and only makes the experience of legitimate customers worse.
1, 2, 4. Then it’s 2028 and ESU ends. No idea how the pricing for the IoT long term support thing is done though.
The paid extended security update program is going to run until 2028, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is going to have extended support all the way until 2032.
They have stated that ESU is going to be available to consumers as well, though not for how much - but somewhere between the $61 of the commercial, and $1 (really) of the education license, with the price doubling every year.
Pidgin. Before that it was called Gaim.
It still works, as there are plugins to integrate it with almost everything.
It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can’t take the original, yeah, practically everything except “here is the image file alone in a folder” counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.
CC BY-SA 4.0 is one way compatible with GPLv3.
It does mean that anything released under older CC SA licenses aren’t, so they can’t be used in GPL projects. And MIT isn’t compatible at all.
According to this article, they “sold 846.63 million tokens valued at $12.7 million” on the first day, leaving “19.1 billion coins worth $287 million unsold”.
At the current price, $12.7 million USD would require 65,376,030 Trillion WLFI, so to get the money back you just have to own 3.2 billion times more WLFI tokens that exist.
Hide you from the view of anyone you block. Essentially, when you block someone, they should automatically be forced to block you as well.
Block on Lemmy, and now Twitter, works like it used to on Reddit few years back, and the main criticism and massive issue with is that because it’s just a mute/hide, you can’t see what they post and they can keep commenting on your posts with whatever they want. It was huge issue on Reddit where assholes kept following users and commenting slander and falsehoods to every single post or comment they made.
Everyone else sees all of those comments as the first reply, but you are blissfully ignorant of them.
Discord is a fantastic IRC replacement.
The issue is that people try to use it to replace forums, wikis, personal websites, issue trackers, git, and the kitchen sink, and it does none of these.
Helped you (and Valve) to save some bandwidth. But yes. If it requires a Steam account to play, you bought a license allowing you to access a game using Steam, and not an actual game you own.
In 2023, there were over 1000 different recalls in the US which affected 34 million vehicles (bottom of the page). But just like there are around 170 000 cars that catch on fire in the US per year, which is 465 per day, they just don’t make the news because nobody cares if it’s not a new and sCaRy electric car - even though they catch fire almost a hundred times less often. Though hybrids are twice as likely than gas cars - mixing gas and batteries doesn’t seem to be a good idea.
If you want to know what cars do have recalls though, Car and Driver has collected the most relevant ones. For example, how Dodge has to recall 34000 of the 2025 RAM trucks because they have a faulty ESC.
Other picks:
Most of these you never even know about even if you own that car, because they are “soft” recalls - they get automatically fixed the next time you bring your car to service. But if you don’t own one of them, then there is almost no way you will ever hear about them. Unless it’s about a Tesla.
