What do you suggest ? Jpeg-xl ? Avif ?

The Archiving group The-Eye did actually made a back up of the Archive torrents. https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/archive.org_dumps/torrents/ They have a text file listing the file list of all the collexted torrents. It’s a text file. That they had to compress. And it’s still around 800Mo big just for that one.

https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-mirror They’ve been supporting dweb solutions for years. Evn if they haven’t enabled back their public dweb.archive.org portal.

Still not possible to transfer your account to other instances. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

It will never make changes as greater as 20% in the most extreme cases. Those tend to be just pre-configured to maximize such gaming performance, often at the cost of security, compatibility and stability. Most of those stuff could be adapted to other distros, and tend to be actually. If a change or piece of software made such important benefit to playing games, without any huge drawbacks, be sure it will surely be soon integrated in other distributions.

Exactly. I was surprised to see my unique named throw-away email being found in the leak, despite having changed it to an uniquely generated throw-away account alias in the year prior. But i don’t mind that much.

However, bad security practices must still be pointed out regardless of it being applied to something important or large. I do still can criticize my friend decision to expose his local server at home, unsecured, even if in the grand matter of things, it is unlikely it will be exploited or impact him in any way.

Now, the only issue having my throw-away address, is that i will have to throw it away once i start receiving spam on it. As far i know, the pirated database wasn’t shared nor necessarily conserved outside of prooving the original clowns hacktivists group involvment, outside of confirmed security analyst.

GrapheneOS also made me give up my heterosexuality /j

If they are talking about changing search engine, this means they feel impacted by the change. The removal of the Free ad-supported tier. Very likely searching for a paid-search engine is necessary; otherwise, they would have just kept using MetaGer.

Mint is a good choice ! They have a decent help forum where you could ask for such help. Like this one for example. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=228884 Feel free to give more details here too, maybe i, or someone else here could help you with your specific Mac problem.

You’ll get plenty of answers with different suggestions, so I’ll suggest checking in that community for plenty of previous answers. I would say to stick with “main” known distribution and to ditch specialized ones. https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Single-Maintainer https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Distros

I’m on Nobara but despite the fantastic work of GloriousEggRoll, it did had it’s lot of breakage which made me want to switch to the suggested uBlue Fedora atomic builds, per those criterias.

Yes.

Indeed. I’m just a big scared of it, And I can’t really help a lot financially or data-seeding wise currently. But yep, Anna does have the LibGen data backed up.

That game use Battle-eye btw.

Except that they are struggling for donations, but more important, mirrors and hosters.

Yep, and Google own employees are forbidden to protest of that project, if they wish to keep their job.

Excuse me, what. What is your reasoning behind that question ?

What I don’t get, but maybe because of the lack of information I have on the topic

Exactly. That’s also the issue there. It was opt-out by default AND didn’t seemed to give enough info to the end-user about what it does, and why it would be better to keep it enabled. Most people, complain about the forced default decision without any notice, and without any appropriate info to understand if it was a decent change or not. You should only enable it, IF you understand and ablige to what it does.

Exactly that. Each instances has it’s own rules and as such, you can make your own on your own instance. Just don’t be surprised that some instances block you for not abliging to their standards, as they also control their own federation, like each individual instances.

First. Let me explain some bits about the Play Store. You are using the Google Play store, so of course, it stores the list of installed apps on your Google account. That’s fairly obvious. However, the relation with the apps generally end there. Some apps might have Google account integration (Google Games for example, or just as a login method) but not more than that. There’s also potential Google ads and Crashalytics, but it ain’t “directly” connected to your Google account (It link your device through an unique ID, which Google could correlate with your logged Google account on this device)

That out of the way :

• ProtonMail android app doesn’t use any of those Google stuff in it.
• You can download their app separately of the Google Play Store. Throught their website, source-code release or F-Droid (Depending of their project. Proton isn’t consistency with those)
• ProtonMail don’t care about your Google account, outside of importing your emails into your new Protonnail account if you choose to do so.

Also, there is still a privacy gain, from using an email address from Protonmail, but only when you use it. It is just a better and more private e-mail provider. If you keep using a Gmail and Outlook email, than you will still issues with those emails addresses be used and read, for ads and analytics.

Do note you can use your protonmail address on your Google and Microsoft account. Those services just tend to automatically create an email account on their respectice services by default (Gmail & Outlook) but they aren’t required.

Have you looked at the community you are referring to? Ain’t FOSS. Instead, I would suggest https://removerized.tech/ (Locally in your browser AND hostable, under GPL-3) https://github.com/yossTheDev/removerized Or rembg https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg
