Realistically, fines or other regulations that has the effect of increasing their costs. The way it should work is that this would increase costs to consumers, who then buy less or buy from a competitor who doesn’t pollute as much. But too many people think that any regulation whatsoever is communism and scream whenever anything like that is talked about so nothing ever gets done. And also the politicians are bought.

First you have to convince him that the earth is more than 8000 years old.

I have both memmy and mlem installed, as others have commented. Still holding out hope that Christian Selig can create an Apollo clone for Lemmy.

I thought I had read, several years ago, that Apple dumps a bunch of money into R&D of new tech in exchange for exclusive use of that tech for a period of time after it hits the market (e.g. ultra high-res displays on the iPhone 4). Seems like they haven’t done that as much in recent years but I’ve been patiently waiting for graphene batteries. Maybe this is the year 🤞

It’s still E2EE, as far as I know. Meta could always remove that feature but until they do, I’d consider it a safe and private messaging platform.

Neither is Firefox. That's the joke...

The Fn and Carl keys can be switched in software. I have a work-issued Lenovo with a similar layout. They can be soft-swapped in the BIOS. There’s also a desktop utility to do the same but I don’t know if they have a Linux version of it. I totally agree, the physical layout is annoying but it has a simple fix.

It's incredibly frustrating to see so little content in the video game space for an IP with so much lore behind it. 343i is sitting on a literal gold mine and just shitting all over it.

This is fantastic news. I’m currently using HomeKit + Homebridge for all my smarthome stuff but I have HA Core running on a Proxmox host in the event I need/want to migrate. Apple continues to let me down year after year with their minimal Home updates but convincing my family to switch is a hurdle I’m not ready to tackle yet.

No disagreement there. I could have clarified, my comment was in regard to message content only. I didn't realize that about metadata and certainly am not defending Meta. I'd prefer Signal over anything else but as others have mentioned, getting friends and family to adopt is painful.

I'm honestly a little shocked that Marmol hasn't been canned yet. I don't have cable TV so really only know what I read in headlines and the final score alerts from ESPN, but at least twice he's put the players on blast. Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like those kinds of comments will only further divide a team.

Retroarch is part of RetroPie. I also just installed RetroPie for the first time yesterday and have been trying to wrap my head around it all. Best I can tell, RetroPie = EmulationStation + RetroArch. EmulationStation is the front-end that makes using RetroPie more controller-friendly and adds some additional polish, and RetroArch is doing the actual emulation.

Your best bet is probably just reflash RetroPie using the Raspberry Pi Imager. I haven't gotten too deep into other features quite yet (shaders, shortcuts, saves/save states, etc.) so I won't be much help there.

SMB3 - same as before this morning's update.

In any case, I figured out my syntax was wrong for mounting an NFS share. Fixed that and I'm now able to mount the same folders to the same mount point using NFS so I guess that's a suitable workaround.

Update on my SN30 Pro - I haven't noticed any Bluetooth input lag whatsoever. I'm using an RPi 3B (not 3B+). I read on the RetroPie forums that any input lag over BT can be mitigated by overclocking and also that it's less of an issue on the newer models, so if you're using a RPi 4 you will probably be fine with BT.

Then this is false advertising and a class-action lawsuit that should have already happened.

This Arstechnica article seems to confirm that they can't decrypt without user intervention and that they have only ever supplied metadata to law enforcement. I'm no fan of Meta but do you have sources that they have in fact decrypted actual message content at the request of law enforcement?

What are your thoughts on TrueNAS Core or Unraid instead of Synology? I could still run Plex on the same hardware that handles the storage while maintaining the freedom and flexibility that my current home lab server provides. There appears to be plenty of decommissioned enterprise-grade hardware being sold on FB all the time.

Agreed. I don't think there is a gamer on the planet who would balk at any extra cost to have hall effect sticks in every single controller. Can't imagine it adds more than a few dollars.

Let me know how it goes. I'm still figuring stuff out as well. Right now I'm running it on a RPi 3B but considering re-flashing on a RPi 4. I'm also trying to figure out if/how I can make certain emulators automatically apply a certain shader (e.g. scan lines on NES/SNES or LCD for Gameboy). This is just a side project for me at the moment so not sure when I'll have time to go down the rabbit hole.

Yep, I understand that. I didn’t know if RAID 6, having parity bits, would be able to repair a file from that data. I figured being RAID would protect it from corruption but apparently not. I didn’t overwrite the file with a bad one, it just stopped working.
