Is that shit finally banned?
Never signed up, but happy to see that brain rotting app go away.

But I wouldn’t stop there, imo all GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) spyware should get the boot.

Rikj000, 25 days ago

No matter the nationality,
spyware is not okay…

Never has been, never will be.
It’s a form of oppression,
and an invasion upon your rights (to privacy).

Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?

One thing is certain,
due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
I won’t be buying into their next console,
they won’t get a single dime from me anymore.

Rikj000, 25 days ago

They might have been doing it for longer then I’ve been aware of.

But this is a (small) list of things that caught my attention and made me despise them:

• Garry’s Mod takedowns
• Yuzu + Citra takedowns
• Relic Castle takedown
• Palworld Mod takedowns
• BOTW Mod takedowns
• PointCrow DMCAs
• Gary Bowser’s life ruined

Nintendont,
the lawsuit company that makes games on the side, strikes again…

We’re well beyond the point by now of me ever buying anything from them again.
I won’t support such behavior of any company.

Rikj000, 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago)

Did not know that,
however it won’t make me change up my mind about Nintendont.

All their previous lawsuites and takedowns against the modding and emulation communities, where not fake, nor trolls, and made me despise them.

English is not my native language,
my mistake, corrected it.

I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
looking-glass.io

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:
github.com/olavmrk/usb-libvirt-hotplug

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)

Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:
github.com/Metastem/wikiless

Why?

It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.

2 points you’ll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:

• The certificate of their website expired twice
• If you use AUR packages,
  sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.

Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community…
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.

Rikj000, 1 month ago

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

Yes/no.

I lived without YouTube / a Google account for years.

But I still use YouTube through a privacy respecting frontend:
www.privacyguides.org/en/frontends/#youtube

I usually go for:

• On desktop: Invidious or Piped
• On Android: Tubular or NewPipe

Meh, Java edition Modpacks are what keeps me interested in MC.

• Communication: Matrix
• Browsing: I2P
• Communities: ActivityPub / Mastodon
• Software Forge: Fogejo + ForgeFed
• OS: Linux
• Money: Monero

Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:

• Decentralized / Federated
• Sensorship resistant
• Privacy respecting
• Open source

Rikj000, 1 month ago

Update your system frequently,
that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.

Rikj000, 1 month ago

Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P

All the Arch niceness,
with fewer bugs / breakage
and easier to use.

Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.

Dear politicians,
stop assaulting our rights,
and start fighting for our rights,
unless you’d like to be yeeted out of parliament.

With kind regards,
every aware citizen.

Nice, these are mine, a little older / have not used them in a while, but hope they will still prove useful to you all :)

Waydroid is made for Wayland.

You can however run it on X-Server,
through a Wayland session window
(e.g. KWin_Wayland, Cage, Weston, …):
docs.waydro.id/…/setting-up-waydroid-only-session…

I wrote a tool to help improve the user experience on X-Server,
however currently it only supports KDEs Kwin_Wayland:

High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that’s not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄

Rikj000, 1 month ago

Oh I see, thank you!
Will definitely play around with that tomorrow :)

Visit about:profiles I’d guess.

This didn’t happen to me,
likely since I use XBrowserSync:

Well I’m not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.

However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.
