I heard Huawei's HarmonyOS is planning to drop support for Android compatibility and currently doesn't have a lot of native apps. What SDKs support it, and what tools do you need to test for it? I'm especially interested in whether any of the big game engines like Unity or GameMaker can be coaxed into working on Harmony. Please share any information you have!

After having a good talk with a few folks, I've decided to buy a gaming PC and build it myself. I have everything I need, including all of the necessary equipment and accessories. I don't want to buy anything from NVIDIA because of some of its controversial decisions, its drivers' poor performance on Linux, and its high price. I'm going full red (AMD). Keep in mind that I will not be using Windows on this PC at all and will be running Pop OS on it as my primary operating system. I am also buying all the parts from Bestbuy. My budget is not to go completely over $2000

Two questions

1. Will everything work properly with all of the PC accessories I'm getting, and is there anything I should replace? (not including the CPU or GPU)
2. Do you think it will be enough with three fans, or do I need five for extra cooling?

The current price for everything is $1716.78

Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!

Details here.

Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.

Edit2: I'm trying this but the command isn't working despite zero exit status.

Beginning 8 June 2024, Kadokawa-owned websites, including Niconico, have been facing severe cyberattacks; the servers have been taken down and are being reconstructed in response, with an unclear recovery timeline.[22]

I want to see my videos of obscure Japan only video games but I can't even have that

I have an Odroid N2+ running dietpi and I am wondering which torrent client people use in similar setups.

I have been mostly using transmission my whole life and it works fine but it happens often that the service becomes unresponsive. So I have been looking into alternatives. Trying out qbittorrent now and while it works fine the CPU usage seems too high. Only two active torrents right now and htop reports 60% CPU usage.

Other options available are deluge amd rtorrent so going to look into them later.

"We don't know who the leader is, it's like this anonymous Brazilian," Dorsey said.

That anonymous Brazilian is Giovanni Torres Parra, a developer who has also built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho. Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil's military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was "incompatible" with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.

The deficit of basic materiel and dearth of capacity to make it reflects a wider problem: The US no longer focuses on making everyday things, even things that can be critical in a crisis. When Covid-19 struck, the race was on to produce more cotton swabs and ventilators. Shortages of auto parts, generic drugs, baby formula and other common goods have become more frequent.

TL;DW: Apple Intelligence is Apple training their models locally on your personal Apple product data (aka anything you do on an iPhone, Mac, iPad or your Apple ID) using their Apple Silicon chips as well as building a Apple Siri voice assistant client for OpenAI's ChatGPT. The features seem gatekept to newer Apple products and they claim it's opt-in.

It looks like "AI" is here to stay as capitalists have placed it in most supply chains and industries. Goes without saying, but don't buy Apple, you're just buying yourself a one-way trip to a digital jail where the walls are made out of "seamless apple ecosystem" and "shiny metal devices that are cold to the touch."

Especially don't buy anything from the Apple Store because that's trashy Global North treat brain behavior.

“Intel has been aiding and abetting Israel’s apartheid for decades, feeding its war chest, and now it is directly feeding its war chest while it continues its unspeakable genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. Intel is complicit in Israel’s genocide and its underlying system of apartheid. Intel’s M.O. seems to be, ‘Make Apartheid Great Again!’”

Please buy another chip. If possible, avoid positive coverage of Intel on social media, including Lemmy. Thank you.

I believe that everyone is already aware of Google's tracking records as one of the most privacy-invading company of all time, given their terrible privacy policy, business choices, and ongoing user tracking. However, Google does have certain products that are pretty good, like Google Photos app is one of its better ones. I can see why people would use it It's quick, packed with incredible features, and makes finding photos simple.

However, it is awful for privacy given Google's track history. Recently, though, I found a upon a fantastic alternative called Ente. With real privacy and it doesn't steal your data, it offers nearly all of the features of Google Photos. It is open source, features easy sharing, end-to-end encryption, and allows you to view, organize, and download your data in its original quality across all of its platforms with consistency.

Unfortunately, if you are someone who frequently takes images and has pictures of years and years worth of stuff, you may have to pay for more storage, although the costs are not too high. To minimize space while using Ente, I would consider copying a bunch of images to an external hard drive or SSD. You can also delete unnecessary old screenshots or photos that you don't want to keep saved in your memories to save up storage.

I'm planning on adding a dual-booting section to my guide on how to install Linux and I need some input from people who are dual booting Windows and Linux:

• How did you allocate the partition for Linux? Did you use Disk Management from Windows or did you allocate the partition as part of the installation process?

• How do you share data between the two partitions? Do you create a third partition that both OS partitions have access to? Do you use external drives/flash drives? Or do you just have no need to share data between the two drives?

The big AI models are running out of training data (and it turns out most of the training data was produced by fools and the intentionally obtuse), so this might mark the end of rapid model advancement

Maybe one of you hogs knows what's up.

I got a new IP address for my VPS and updated the DNS A record accordingly. That was two days ago and I still get an "unable to connect" error when trying to access TankieTube through protonVPN.

However, if I drop the VPN everything works. This is the case with both Firefox and Chrome.

Does this have to do with DNS propagation?
