1 day agoSo $30 is all that you need to delete your Microsoft account? Or is the problem that even if you’d rebuy Minecraft, you’d still need a MS account to play it?
Are you aware of the many Open Source Minecraft-inspired games?

Yes it is. It’s in Alpha because it’s not feature complete yet.
But not everyone needs a feature-complete Desktop Environment. Some people are OK with a basic window manager.
Despite known bugs (reproducible crashes), many people are happy with it already.
Guess some of those use Garuda.
Does DuckDuckGo do this as well or is that a better option, privacy-wise?

If you need to hide IP, you just use a VPN. Duh!
And Qwant is not listed on privacyguides?
They hit all the right Node(j)s!
6·7 days agoWelcome to Lemmy @destviz@lemm.ee !
What even is an actual cornball…? Genuine question. Never heard of it.
Of course mass surveillance existed long before the US had a fascist president, no one is implying that it didn’t.
It’s just that fascism is a great reminder why no government should have as much power to invade in privacy as the US has. Especially for those who are not subscribed to this community and forgot about that, so share this with them!
1·8 days agoWelcome to Lemmy, @doodledup@lemmy.world ! Thank you for engaging with my post.
If you look closely, you’ll see this is a cross-post. This is a way to share a post from one Lemmy community in another Lemmy community.
And if you click to the original Lemmy post, what do you see?
- The community of the original Lemmy post is !privacyguides@lemmy.one , yes the official community of the same PrivacyGuides that you are linking. So I fully agree with your recommendation, that is why I put my original post in their community and then cross-posted it all over Lemmy.
- There is not just a link, but also a description:
I am not the author.
I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they’ll understand the why and the how.
So yes, I agree that for the Lemmings in here this won’t have a lot of new info, but I think we can use it to activate people who didn’t “get it” yet.
9·8 days agoFor anyone wondering what “TDS” means:
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term, used to describe criticism of or negative reactions to President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational and to have little regard for Trump’s actual policy positions.[1] The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.[2][3] Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump’s statements and actions.[4][5][6]
Despite the usage of the term syndrome suggesting a medical condition, TDS is not an official medical diagnosis.[7] A 2021 research study found no evidence to support the existence of TDS among Trump detractors on the left, but instead found bias among his supporters.[8
GitOps + Renovate.
Tools that allow you to work GitOps (everything is defined in text files in Git) are:
- Kubernetes
- NixOS
- to a lesser degree, Ansible
Here’s a nice starter template for running your own Kubernetes cluster via GitOps with Renovate pre-configured: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template
Mostly yes, but there are some closed source services which are still good options for this specific threat model.
And I just thought the clear explanation of the why combined with the list, makes this an excellent blog to send to people who don’t get it yet.
The list itself is something most of the people in this community know already, but you might want to send this when someone asks “why?”
71·12 days agoI’ve been doing almost all of my gaming on Linux for 2 years now, running a 5800X3D and an RTX 3080.
Why the “almost”? I love to fly flight simulators, mostly DCS World, in VR and am still using an HP Reverb G2 (Windows) headset.
Everything else works without issues on Linux for me. I’ve been sitting on Pop!_OS 22.04 but if I were to install today, I’d go for Linux Mint
31·14 days agoUndervalued comment right there. This is better than the OP
Took a look at the specification, this is what I found:
For federated servers performing delivery to a third party server, delivery SHOULD be performed asynchronously, and SHOULD additionally retry delivery to recipients if it fails due to network error.
So they should retry. Note that should is not the same as must. So there is no obligation. There is no timeline in the spec about for how long or how often retries should be done. The wording says network error.
My interpretation: the spec leaves a lot of room for implementations to differ. Network problems don’t normally last for days though. I’d guess that if your server is down for 5 minutes, you’ll still receive most or everything you’d normally receive. I wouldn’t trust on that if your server is offline for more than a day.
Yes, I test in production and so should you

Distribution and user theming is also significantly improved over GTK with programmatic generation of themes—automatically adapting colors at runtime to the most ideal contrasting color values via OKLCH and other related algorithms—which distributions can use to customize to their preferred branding, and app developers can freely adopt without needing to worry about user themes breaking their apps. Users also get the convenience of generating their own custom themes with COSMIC Settings, even if that means creating an abomination of conflicting colors.
I’ve themed my 22.04 install to death – literally – as one would expect from a first Linux install. I’ve been clicking through multiple GUIs where only the checkboxes, dropdowns and radio buttons showed, zero labels or descriptions. Most recently the Raspberry Pi Imager.
They initially made a GNOME extension that contained their theming and an (optional) tiling for windows. Also some GTK apps, such as their app store frontend.
I still use it daily on my gaming pc (Pop!_OS 22.04) and it sucks. Slow, unresponsive, janky. And this is an extension that they had been maintaining for years. Apparently GNOME devs don’t really consider extension developers and it was like building on quicksand for the Pop team.
For better or worse, they made a decision to build their own fast, responsive COSMIC DE due to these frustrations with GNOME.
I am still on the old 22.04 with GNOME, but already started using the new COSMIC Store app GUI last year.
It is a HUGE leap from the old Pop!_Store and feels great.
The rest of the DE is probably not ready yet, otherwise they wouldn’t call it Alpha.
Oh and apparently they’ve made it really easy to brand the whole desktop env and are hoping for more orgs and companies to adopt it.
12·22 days agoThere is a reason why NixOS was invented 21 years ago. Reproducible builds are not simple in most
packagingbuild systems.
And at your next job, at an employer who sees the value of FOSS and a nerd with strong Linux-fu!
NixOS - Queer kid who gets 10/10 at every written test, but stutters so badly that they can’t do anything when asked to improvise in front of class or at speaking tests.
