The cause is a 502 from lemmy.
Jerboa's handling of that error is also terrible but that's another issue.

I'm this close to visiting my "local" branch for all my banking.
At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).
Are you 100% certain they don't just truncate your password to 8 characters?

GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA
Reply in thread
I am ashamed of GitLab.
Don't be. Gitlab has to comply with the law.
It's the law that's broken, not Gitlab.
It’s absolutely ridiculous they took it down even though Nintendo didn’t DMCA the Suyu project directly.
Um, no. If shitty corpo X (ab)uses the DMCA to send you a takedown notice for some project and you also host a fork of the same project, you must take down the fork too.
"You see, while this might be the exact same code, the name is totally different, so we don't have to take it down!" will not hold up in court.
Whether the DMCA request is valid or not is an entirely separate question. You must still comply or open yourself up to legal liabilities.
The process to object to the validity of the request is included in the screenshot.

Das heißt Städten wird die Autonomie bei Errichtung von Fußgängerzonen (also, die Gestaltung der Stadt) abgesprochen?
Was zum Fick?
Warum saugen wir Deutschen eigentlich so hart am Auspuff?

What's a good phone now that doesn't force ads on me?
Why do you feel the need to change phones? Pixel 6 Pro should still be plenty good enough.
If its stock ROM bothers you, you're in luck because Pixels are surprisingly hackable and it's very easy these days.
See i.e.: https://grapheneos.org/
No need to worry about Google services, they work: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?
Depends on how much of our needs would be covered. Not needing to work to survive is different from not needing to work to live a comfortable life which is again different from living a luxurious life.

Lemmy.world deleting posts with archive links and posts questioning the decision.
The link you posted is a post by a mod announcing that they will enforce the policy given to them by the LW admins.
From the modlog I can tell that (presumably) you posted a text post to [email protected] about the policy that was then removed.
If you're posting to [email protected], such posts would obviously be removed because that's A. not on topic (that'd be a topic for [email protected]. ) and B. not a link to an article. The latter is also the reason given for the removal.
Stirring up drama over absolutely nothing usually ends up hurting someone. Could you not?

The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.

If you wanted a distro where everything is set up for you OOTB, not requiring tinkering, you should not have installed Arch mate.

Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android
TL;DR Amazon is building a Linux distro that starts a chromium to run react native apps. Apparently, you need hundreds of people for that.

Root access vulnerability in glibc library impacts many Linux distros
Security-critical C and memory safety bugs. Name a more iconic duo...
I'd have kinda preferred for public disclosure to have happened after the fix propagated to distros. Now we get to hurry the patch to end-users which isn't always easily possible. Could we at least have a coordinated disclosure time each month? That'd be great.

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?
I used to not but I wish I did. I want to know where pictures were taken. Photo album software like Immich can also make cool maps out of your photos this way and group photos by location.
As long as you're not sharing the pictures with anyone, there is no loss of privacy whatsoever in doing this. I don't see any reason to generally label it as "not great for privacy".
When sharing publicly, you need to be careful of course and run the images through an EXIF metadata stripper.

I'd downvote that comment too. It adds nothing to the discussion and is deliberately confrontative and superficial.
