Shai-Hulud’s dumber cousin.

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...

As an FYI to readers, port forwarding with ProtonVPN on Linux can be done, just with a little extra effort.

I’m split on this myself.

On the one hand, I do think there is a risk of Meta’s influence becoming too pervasive over ActivityPub and ultimately kneecapping it. I think to presume this couldn’t happen is naive. Further, Meta does have a history of trying to bring everything under its own umbrella, and if they see enough profit opportunity in trying to own the protocol then they will sink serious effort into doing so. They have done it with many other companies & ideas already.

On the other hand, preemptive blocking is not in the spirit of the fediverse, users should be able to make their own choice, and SDF is known for its general openness. “Why in this case and not others?” is a real question.

I personally don’t think the influx of users/content & problems with “Eternal September” are too big a deal. True, I’m not a sysadmin or mod here. If those were real reasons to block the service then we should do it on logistical grounds without hesitation - there’s no need for user input or discussion in that case.

Underrated comment!

Yeah I agree the costuming was good.

Yes, that’s true; everybody borrows.

This seemed particularly plagiaristic though. Oddly placed yin-yangs? Allusions to the Roma people? An underworld looking distinctly hell-like?

At least make me work to find the source material.

Yep, this looks like the thing - thanks!

I haven’t (yet) dipped toes in the *arr worlds yet, so it’s great to know the feature’s there.

She said many rich people wanted to set up their own educational or health foundations without checking whether there was a need or an existing charity or government-funded programme working to address the issue.

When the rich only think about charity as a means to further their own name, it’s no wonder nothing ever really gets fixed.

The authors of the institute's report said there was evidence that audiences "continue to selectively avoid important stories such as the war in Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis as they cut back on depressing news and look to protect their mental health".

Bingo. However,

But the figures are much higher for young users. One in five (20%) 18 to 24-year-olds get news from TikTok, up from 15% last year. The report says the platform "is the fastest growing social network in our survey". However, it is not necessarily news from traditional news providers. TikTok users are more likely to get news on the platform from celebrities, influencers or ordinary creators than mainstream news outlets or journalists.

This is far more worrisome.
