Game of Thrones was nearly "destroyed" by pirates illegally streaming HBO content
They fail to mention that when GoT started in 2011, HBO wasn't available at all without a cable TV subscription, so people who had already dropped cable didn't have any other choice. HBO streaming without cable didn't become available until 2015.

YSK there is a setting in your Lemmy profile to hide posts that you've seen. Upvoting counts as interacting with that post and will hide it after refresh.
I'd like a hide post button. I sometimes want to hide posts, but not usually ones I've interacted with.

DDG is mostly sourced from Bing already. It isn't hard to test this, just do a search on both sites in private mode and you get the same top results.

They will sell access to that 18 years of content. They don't want it able to be scraped in any way.

There is already a proposal on github to hard limit and/or rate limit the creation of communities.

I need a build switcher
This is largely a design decision forcing you to tailor your build to be at least good enough at all content. You can't be optimal for every type of content with the click of a few buttons.

Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine
Reply in thread
Yes, this will just mean that game publishers will set one price for the whole EU which will be based on the income in the richest countries. They can still geoblock countries outside of the EU, just not within it.

Same. On my account and when logged out the first result is about Kenya. This is happening because of personalized search.

I'd love to live and work somewhere where I could bike. The distance to my current job would be doable for me but there is zero bike infrastructure to make it feasible.

To be fair, they are pretty highly defederated compared to most instances.

Is AMD really that much better?
From a FOSS standpoint, AMD is clearly better since Nvidia doesn't provide an open source driver and actively prevents one from being developed (that is feature complete) by anyone else.
From a gaming standpoint, I don't think it makes much difference either way. Both companies make cards and have drivers that work very well for Linux gaming. Nvidia are usually a bit faster at supporting new cards on Linux, but that only matters if you are buying a card right at launch.
The main sticking point is Wayland vs Xorg. While you CAN use an Nvidia card for Wayland at this point, you are likely to run into some issues and it won't be as nice of an experience as AMD. Nvidia will probably fully support Wayland eventually, but there is no guarantee.
Finally, if you need CUDA you just go with Nvidia.
It really comes down to your exact needs and how much you care about open source software as a principle.

Button navigation is objectively better than gesture navigation.
On a large phone (so almost all of them) gesturing is much easier than reaching for a button. When I first switched it was slightly awkward because of muscle memory, but after a while gestures felt much better.

newpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down request
Top result on Google is newpipe.net for me. Perhaps NewPipe has already submitted a counter notice and it has been restored? That's how the DMCA is supposed to work.

For instances that are mostly for discussion, its pretty pointless to stay subscribed.

[Question] If using linux , where are your sources of games and what are cs.rin.ru clean steam files and how to use them?
You will find it very difficult to get help with game piracy on linux just because the community is very small. If the game has a native release it will be even harder since most linux users want to support developers that do native releases. I've only ever tried a couple games that I had no problems with and that was a few years ago. These days if it has a native release I will always just buy it.
