On a bog standard phone with dns blocking and nothing more, it was able to identify a lot of information. Some pieces of information I didn’t realize are sent to websites when I visit them. It’s a good demonstration of fingerprinting.

Your browsing history does not have full text search, so if you only remember the content of the page and not the title of it, you’re SOL. Or if you browse across multiple devices, you have to check multiple places to hope to find it.


The standard upgrade command has this behavior though, which is unexpected to people like me and the author. You need a specific flag to tell apt to actually upgrade everything which is not the behavior I expected.


Never heard of it but this thing looks fully featured and very polished. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it before since I’ve gone looking for decent launchers!

You’re really telling me the Eiffel Tower isn’t real? Why would you type those words?


That only applies to new contracts from what I heard, not to existing contracts. Google certainly has a long term contract that wouldn’t be affected by the increased royalties for new H.264 contracts.


I imagine costs have increased (more expensive server components due to ai shortages, more users to stream to, ever-increasing storage for the unthinkable amount of video that gets uploaded to YouTube nonstop). I imagine Google going all in on ai (infinite negative money glitch) costs a lot and they’re trying to cover the costs elsewhere so the investor report doesn’t look so bad and spook stockholders into selling. I’d keep an eye on other Google services to see if their prices also go up over the coming months.


Forgot to check the sub lmao. Still a great app, but it is closed source yeah. My bad!


I don’t know about the rescan requirement you have, but Symfonium handles my very large Jellyfin music library (and supports local libraries and many other libraries as well). Has good equalizer options including volume boost and very good native theming that supports dark mode and material you. Paid app but very well worth it if you listen to lots of music on Android. I’ve been using it for years and it’s regularly updated, I’m very happy with it.
What makes you think this? Server costs have gone up, Bitwarden has increased their pricing. It’s a big jump, but it’s also still very very affordable (less than $2/mo). How is this indicative of them changing behavior in the future to start trying to take down legally licensed open source projects like Vaultwarden?


I use Symfonium to play my Jellyfin library, and Jellyfin has a plugin for ListenBrainz integration. So depending on your setup, there already is integration!


It’s a scrobbling service. You send your listening data to it so that you can see your listening habits and share them with other people (your top songs, which countries the artists you listen to are from, etc.). It’s just interesting data that some people like to collect, but if you only throw on your mp3s and don’t care about that, then you probably won’t find much use in setting it up.
Edit: to clarify what “listening data” means here, it just means the metadata of the music you play. Song name, artist, album. Nothing fancy. I think it also supports marking songs as favorites.


I use Koito as a selfhosted version of this. I use the ListenBrainz plugin to send my Jellyfin listening data to Koito, which has a setting to forward that data to ListenBrainz so I can have a backup and contribute to the ListenBrainz project. It’s pretty cool!


To be clear, there are some benefits to provisioning enterprise devices in a tightly controlled cloud environment, but we’ve all seen ideas with “some benefits” get shot down by managers and CEOs who “don’t get why anyone would want that” so I’m not keen on giving Microsoft too much credit.


At least for Enterprise where the real money is, “???” seems to be https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/windows-365-enterprise
This isn’t some grand plan 5d chess. The people running these companies are dumb as hell and lucky. They get convinced from one silicon valley thought leader’s blog post that ai and electron are the future and then direct the entire company in that direction thinking they’re a great leader who will be remembered for pushing the company in a novel direction at just the right time. They attend a talk by a different thought leader who talks about a future of ai cloud computers that anyone can access from anywhere with more computational power than could ever fit into the shitty laptop they’re accessing it from, then they go to the board meeting the next day with their bright new idea to do cloud personal desktops.
These companies are entirely responding to (nonsensical) market forces and the whims of high ranking individuals within their ranks. It’s painful and ridiculous.


The US imports raw oil and exports refined oil. The US has great interest in keeping raw oil prices low. This isn’t 5d chess, our leaders are genuinely incompetent.


These things have so much fucking sugar in them it’s actually crazy. I had one for the first time ever about a month ago (apple flavor I think) and it was so sweet I don’t think I was able to even finish the thing. It’s insane. I had no clue they were this over-sweetened based on how often I’ve seen the brand and I genuinely don’t know how anyone drinks this stuff.


LibreOffice works great for me. One of the most useful FOSS softwares I’ve used for school. Do you want to actually elaborate on what about it doesn’t work for you and potentially get help, or just complain into the void?


I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.
A vpn is (basically) just a connection between two computers where they can interact with each other as if they were physically connected to the same local network (ergo, “Virtual Private Network”). That’s not possible to ban. They can go after commercial providers, but not the concept itself.
