Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it's a general "contact your government",
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

[Release] Belfius Root (github.com)

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game by Rikj000 in c/gaming@lemmy.ml
[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 165 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

My "nExT gEn" update experience:

  1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
  2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
  3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
  4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
  5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc..

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.

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.

Enuf with the Arch hate already..

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don't use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

Kids Online Safety Act gains enough supporters to pass the Senate by Rikj000 in c/technology@beehaw.org

Figure out which politicians are behind this.
And throw them out,
since they are trying to take away your rights (to privacy).

They are looking to apply mass surveillance upon you guys wrapped into a "For the kids safety" package as usual..

Just finished writing out a lengthy comment,
with the up/downsides I can see
on each of the code forges I currently deem promising,
on the Github Discussion "Alternatives to GitHub"

And I was wondering, out of following 2,
which code forge would you guys prefer and why?

Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

Why can't I just buy it without being charged for preinstalled spyware? by Rikj000 in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 134 points 7 months ago

I hate that nowadays everything comes with pre-installed spyware and that they charge you for it makes it even worse..

  • Want a TV? Suck on our Android TV with Google spyware embedded
  • Want a phone? Get our Android with Google spyware, or go for an Apple with Apple spyware
  • Want a computer? We'll shove Windows spyware down your throat

Ffs I just want devices that I own to not spy on me, and I can't even buy them anymore..

Each of them require flashing a custom privacy respecting OS onto it,
and that's a real problem..

And I gotta say,
I'm happily impressed by how good it looks!
Apart from the low resolution font/texts,
I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

Edit:
I disabled the High Resolution Textures,
because they cause:

  • Random game freezes in connection orb screens
  • Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
  • Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.
