I have to say that the wording here feels oddly suspect. I have never gotten a sticker that said anything other than “I voted!” and it really concerns me about the subtle messaging here. I tried to make a separate post about it, but image posts aren’t allowed apparently.

They were trying to run it cracked through an alternative launcher.

I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.

No P2P with free Proton.

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.

This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.

Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

Yeah, no. As soon as I looked into this it requires subscription. Also, the GUI is suspiciously old. Like GNOME from 15+ years ago old.

Maybe I’m blind, maybe it’s me viewing this on a phone, but I legitimately can’t tell the difference.

In your opinion, what is the most substantial change/addition slated for the megarelease?

I’m sure. However, I am not in a position to self host and videos are huge unless you post them as webm which some people might even report you for.

I post a fair amount of video edits. I’ve had quite a few people say that video playback is far from ideal for not just Lemmy, but the Fediverse as a whole. Is this mostly a 3rd party app thing, or a backend issue? I haven’t had much issue myself, but enough people have mentioned it that there is likely an issue somewhere down the line.

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I’ll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: http://websdr.org/

We have that. It is a mastodon bot. I don’t remember what server it is on, but tagging it will set the reminder.

I almost hate to recommend it, but r/rtlsdr is the place to go.

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone’s antenna.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

I’m not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.

You forgot the pop-ups, forced midi music, easily injected malware, difficulty in verifying sources, html frames that frequently broke, the entire concept of needing a site map, fucking keywords, true banner ads that could force clicks with Javascript, and RealPlayer to name a few. I don’t miss it at all.
