What kind of special knowledge or equipment do piracy groups have?
  • Basically, media cannot truly be DRM because: (1) it ~has to be converted into data that screens and speakers can display (2) ultimately if it's fetching widevine encryption keys, those keys are somewhere in your device and can be retrieved

    So yes, you can do it. A "capture card" is such a "gyzmo" — but often, you can just rip using software, i.e. record the decoded stream

  • World Conker Championships men's winner cleared of cheating
  • I won because I've practiced for decades

    Says the 82 year old

    lost finals to a USA woman who just started a year ago when she moved

    What is this sport?? Lmao British beyblades

  • draw.io no longer free and open source software since August 27, 2024
  • Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue

  • Emotionally Distant Husband Would Rather Watch ‘Stargate SG-1’ Than Have Honest Conversation About ‘Stargate SG-1’
  • So odd that they released this today. Let's pray it's marketing for a relaunch of the series

  • North Korean troops deserting Ukraine frontline days after arrival: Report
  • Is it still called slavery if the farm is "very big" and the boss has nukes?

  • (US) Georgia republican AG claims not carrying a smartphone makes you a criminal
  • My favorite is when people started installing backup surveillance apparati into their homes in the form of Google home / Siri / Alexa. So now the good boys at the nsa can remind you where you put your keys using sound triangulation

  • Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws
  • Free pay to do whatever you want online, while waiting for them to give you severance / unemployment? Sounds dope, no wonder American companies don't do this. Americans have no shame

  • i mean, at least they didnt give me bad advice
  • It's quite rare for growing pot to be profitable now, prices are way down. Months of labor, space to grow, nutrients, pest controls, lights, drying, etc

  • Why are people impressed with SpaceX?
  • My guy they just caught an object falling from space using a pair of giant chopsticks

  • Alternative to syncthing for large music collection?
  • Nothing wrong with rsync, it's still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything

    https://git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven't tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync

  • If you 'play' an operating system as if it was a game, what is the final boss, and how do you beat it?
  • Seems dope, I mean, your computer don't work and retyping text is lame

  • Disabling 2FA in stupid way after phone died rule
  • I think I would have given up before reading the documentation & analyzing the code to notice lack of rate limit. Now I'm questioning if 2fa was ever secure with such a limited brute force space

  • Disabling 2FA in stupid way after phone died rule
  • Yeah! Defeat the dragon of phone 2fa by putting all your secondary passwords on the cloud, synced to your computer! That'll show em :D

  • Tim Walz calls for scrapping of electoral college to decide US presidential race
  • Probably not the popular opinion, but I think EC is important to America being what it is & as large as it is. From Wikipedia:

    The electoral college is fundamental to American federalism, in that it requires candidates to appeal to voters outside large cities, and increases the political influence of more rural states. Whether by design or accident, one of its effects is to help prevent a tyranny of the majority that would ignore the less densely populated heartland and rural states in favor of the mega-cities

    Imo without the EC, the Democrats would just roll the elections and the entire Republican party would have to pivot. Serving the rural / conservative view would be a losing strategy. Then resentment would grow that a big cultural force in America no longer has any say

  • .dev It's time to return to the roots, to the C programming language.
  • Yeah idk or maybe use the right tool for the job rather than joining cults

  • .dev It's time to return to the roots, to the C programming language.
  • Are you high?

    Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything.
    So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.

    What? People stopped using C because it takes forever to write. You're still stuck adding null terminators to string arrays and stressing about memory leaks and overflows. Even the Linux kernel / Linux Torvalds are moving towards Rust. That's evolution, and sometimes evolution is messy

    Then the rest of your thing seems to be about how people shouldn't make money from coding? That's one of the most valuable skills of the information age, and you can become a millionaire in a decade doing it

    Just contribute to open source if you want to do some "good deeds"

  • Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it
  • Nah, ugly ppl still make the music, behind the scenes :p

  • How do I make my own internet?
  • Well, the Internet is connected together using routers/switches. Your own home network is a "private internet" until you pay to connect it to the big one. So if you want, nothing is stopping you from running cables to your neighbors and hooking together. But then you won't have access to anything useful except whatever servers you guys run

    Was that your question?

  • Showing off my new alien spaceship themed tabby.nvim setup :D (feat. neovide, fzf, airline, markview)

    streamable.com Watch tabbar | Streamable

    Watch "tabbar" on Streamable.

    Watch tabbar | Streamable

    My new design direction for neovim is "you just sat down in a homie's spaceship and have no idea what any of the buttons do" -- you can see how I did it here with tabby.nvim: https://github.com/Garoth/Configs/blob/da354cd98241dc7582718a9082226fab99403e4a/nvim/init.vim#L752

    I'm an oldschool vim guy, so a lot of my plugin tastes lean towards the ancient. Telescope?? Nah I had that figured out with fzf.vim many years ago, and it's stupid fast. Harpoon? Nah, I have marks, permanent undo and location memory, alternate files, fast search. Plus I love using fzf in my terminal so it all blends together so well. I still use vim-plug, it's pretty much perfect, and have no interest in lazy or whatever the new flavor-of-the-year package manager is

    Neovide continues to be what I believe is the future of neovim. The performance is best in class, probably theoretically better than even terminals can achieve (since rendering can be done much more selectively, understanding vim concepts like floating windows and such, which have compositing in neovide). The idea of "progressive improvements" in a GUI rather than trying to make something totally different is a great call. In the future, they are likely to implement a new age of image rendering too, which would be aware of z-index layering (so you could have a floating window on top of an image -- current image-in-terminal approaches just put the image on top)

    Airline -- well, this is in the category of "if it aint broke dont fix" -- Airline has been in development for like 11 years and has 2700+ commits, 17k+ stars on github. I mean, this is a ridiculous history, that's more work than most projects on github, just for a statusline. I don't tend to chase trends or replace vim code with lua - who cares - vimscript is stable and reliable

    Shoutout to the Maple Mono font -- with a lot of amazing ligatures that I didn't have before, super cozy. Demo recorded on an 7 year old samsung chromebook running Wayland/Pipewire Arch with a dualcore cpu, 4gb of ram, 14nm intel integrated graphics, and a 32gb harddrive. Linux is so cool, being able to do that. The ending was... not on purpose lmao

    compiler.nvim: language aware compile menu

    Zenith said:

    URL: https://github.com/Zeioth/compiler.nvim

    This compiler detects the filetype you are using. From there it detects the entry point of your program and compiles it with the correct compiler so you don't need to setup anything.

    Currently it is on beta state and only works with c. More languages available in the coming days.

    I rather releasing it now in case someone wants to participate and leave comments before I solidify the architecture.

    I coded this for NormalNvim so take a look there if you want too.

    Cheers.
