I buy them
I pirate movies and shows because the ecosystem for buying them is fucking trash. If I could just buy legal remuxes without DRM, I would.

Denmark to seek legal means to prevent Quran burnings
I hoped it was clickbait, but it isn't. What the fuck Denmark.

So someone who escapes from a fundamentalist Muslim country can't protest that regime in front of said country's embassy anymore?
Nah, still fucking stupid.

I'm going to jump to outrage because the entire premise of the proposed law is ridiculous, regardless of the wording.
This is a blasphemy law under the guise of international relations.

That's pretty much what the article says. The model needs to be trained on the target keyboard first, so you won't just have people hacking you through a random zoom call

False Claims that Heatwave is Bogus Spread Online
This is my parents, who emigrated from Europe in 80s.
"Greece is always this hot in the summer"
"I remember 40 degree weather when I was a kid, no one was complaining then"
"Do they expect the Mediterranean not to get hot?"
I hate to see it, especially since they're both otherwise smart people. They're just completely taken in by climate denialism.

PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here
If someone has to ask the question, just recommend Ubuntu or Mint.

Lemmy World SysOp
Threw my hat in the ring, I'm a senior devops engineer.
Don't have any Lemmy experience though. I have no desire to self host it, but I wouldn't mind being part of the team to maintain a large instance.

Alpine Linux does not make the news
Reply in thread
I recently pushed my company to move everything off of Alpine and onto Debian Slim
We had too many issues with musl that are incomprehensibly obscure and impossible to troubleshoot. Now the environment we deploy on is functionally the same to the environment our devs develop on

When riders in the Tour De France used to stop in cafes and just loot the place.
On one hand, I'm happy the TDF is a much more organized, serious event now to really celebrate the extremes endurance athletes push themselves to.
On the other hand, shit like this is just kinda fucking charming, and it feels like it just doesn't happen anymore. Not the act of "looting" cafes in particular, but seeing professional athletes cycling with bottles of beer and wine, eating whatever's available to them on the route.
On a sidenote, they translated the units from metric to imperial in the subtitles lol

Removal of piracy communities
Reply in thread
Because of the way Lemmy works, all content from federated instances is mirrored (minus images). So technically, all the piracy content also lives on lemmy.world, which makes them liable for it.

Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law
Reply in thread
The only implementation I would support is one where the asking website doesn't know your ID, and the verifying website doesn't know what you're trying to visit. Essentially just asking for a one-time use token that verified your age, and providing that token to the website you're trying to visit.
Edit for a bit more detail: User authenticates to ID website, which provides them a token with age verification (true/false) and a short (10 minute?) TTL. This token is encrypted by the ID website. User then provides this token to the asking website (eg: pornhub). Pornhub then sends the token back to the ID website to decrypt it. All pornhub knows about you is whether or not you're of age, and the verifying website never knows what the token is for.

Any recommended products for Network Attached Storage?
If you want the best UX and polish, Synology
If you want something rougher around the edges, QNAP
You can always look into building a solution with something like unraid, truenas, or OMV

Arch is so fast
Is Arch really that minimalistic? It's been a few years for me, granted, but I recall they had no package granularity at all. No options to install headers on their own, shit like ssh-client and ssh-server only available bundled together, etc.
