Linux Mint is a good beginner distro if you come from Windows.

Because they know it’s not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.

Yeah the need for a “strong country” is just pure awful nationalism.

Fight for a “good country” instead.

It’s definitely fun to know that.

For me creative would be more like when something makes me giggle but only after reading it twice.

I have seen yours the most. It’s not the most creative but it’s definitely the most eye catching from all big Lemmy posters.

If you’re going to hang out in coffeeshops just get whatever has a clearly visible Apple logo and spend the rest of your money on a beanie, airpods and fake glasses.

I think the Netherlands has the highest amount of L2 English speakers.

In the Netherlands, the English language can be spoken by the vast majority of the population, with estimates of English proficiency reaching 90%[1] to 97%[2] of the Dutch population.

It’s not the official language though so all documents and legal stuff would be in Dutch.

Well in this case it would have been a 16 year old girl against an adult man with a gun.

Not the best chances for self defense.

Not really. Russia is a little kid while Europe is the adult. No need to escalate it. In many scenarios Russia is going to fall anyways.

500 meters to the more expensive one in my small “sister” village, and around 3km to the bigger ones in the main village (where I buy bulk every few weeks using the car).

Loot boxes are far more predatory than gambling. They are literally advertised in games that children play.

It’s the same as fighting against “fake news” which just creates a false trust that everything on the internet is truth. Which is the opposite of what one should believe.

Many European age verification services can verify the age without giving them any data. It works like OAuth. You get redirect to a portal where you login with your citizen ID and you’ll get redirected back to the website.

How it would work in practice is still too soon to say. Maybe they’ll also share other details such as your name or citizen id number to make sure you can only have a single account on the website. I wouldn’t want this either.

Keep in mind that all kinds of age verification like this just shifts a lot of porn into the underground and will increase identity fraud. The illegal sale of hacked verified porn accounts will also become as valuable as porn accounts on paid websites.

Yes but the question was for a federated alternative. lemmynsfw is not a federation by itself. It’s only a part of a larger federation.

You would need multiple nsfw lemmy instances which can then become their own federation. Or a separate federation software on top of ActivityPub.

Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

Incorrect. Only in a capitalist hellhole like America. In the rest of the world this would never be a problem. Just release the server code under MIT and let the community fix it. Also make sure you can manually setup a masterserver in the game itself, or implement direct connect functionality.

many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

Same answer as before. Release the online part under the MIT license. Not your problem anymore at that point. You can still require an original game license for the game itself. We’re only talking about the server software here.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss our position with policy makers and those who have led the European Citizens Initiative in the coming months.

We, the people, have been discussing this for at least a decade now. Get over it and stop trying you capitalist pigs.

Vencord is not an app by itself. It injects into Discord.

Vesktop is a client that comes with Vencord and is much easier to maintain, especially on Linux.

Completely legal and non-DRM yes. You buy digital albums and can choose what type of files you download. (MP3, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, and more). Artists can even offer a license for a choose-your-own-amount donation.

I’m not too sure about popular artists, but they do have a lot of great indie artists. A lot of small bands use it, as well as a lot of music producers from smaller subgenres. (Darkpsy for example)

Bandcamp sells MP3s.

It’s up to Taiwan to decide who they want to be allies with.

Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.

I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.
