Thats pretty awesome. I'm excited to read it.

I'm used to imperfection. I just overlook it once I recognize it.

I personally didnt like the whole book "nr 5". Generally the whole rape, child molestation and such theme was not for me.

But all in all, I really like the theme otherwise. One of the most fleshed out stories I've encountered in years.

I'm currently reading last wish. Finished all the other books, all the game and the first two seasons of the series. One could call me a fan.

Elon musk is not the devil. He is ruthless and despicable but he would be a nobody in a (libertarian) socialist system.

He is being enabled by this disgusting, self reinforcing, murderous system of ours.

Both socialism and anarchism have been proven to work. Take your pick and smash capitalism. Thats the only way to implement a future for our planet and all the people on it.

Damn. Feel free to join a matrix chat if you need to waste some time not working. :)

I think it would make sense to help push massive numbers of these illegal streams so that massive numbers of IPs get blocked from all around the world and the system destroys itself. At least that seems to be a nice idea.

There are a couple of governance systems in the world. Parliamentary democracy, direct democracy, anarcho syndicalism, etc.

With its decentralized nature, mostly free movement between communities and instances, which governance system would be closest?

As a reddit refugee, we have a couple more or less similar mannerisms but the system is massively different. It is intrinsically anticapitalist, not easy to censor, resistant to eee attacks, etc. It is a revolutionary platform which the antithesis of modern reddit. Reddit has started out as true and good but it has been recuperated by capitalism. Lemmy (and all alternatives, as long as decentralized) is the natural successor of reddit.

Whole platforms to be honest. Since you're already out of corpo land, lets keep you out. Matrix is the best I can think of since it combines a lot of positives. I dont know other decentralized group chats except maybe IRC. You can download apps for matrix on matrix.org, apps for irc you will find on your favorite search engine or if youre a linux user, the software store. Mobile phones and tablets of course have them too.

Then you check for your topics. Mental health, specific neurological things, interests, etc. Go from there.

Well, it depends. Often I see people ask for this who want to take but not give, which can get you banned in the best case and destroys a community in the worst case.

Loneliness often comes from particular experiences like not being able to share good things or rant about bad things.

But that is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is missing connection. There are possible neurological reasons for connections deteriorating (i would know) but if one makes themselves aware of this, they can try to counter this.

If you want to be listened to, related to, helped and understood, you need to do that for others. The rest will mostly come on its own. If that does not come naturally (again, i would know) you have to make an effort to do it.

After that is clear, I would suggest chat groups, not forums as forums are much more loose and dont allow for a deep connection imo. Depending on your personal identity, you can find chats which takes a thing you all share and makes it a topic to connect about. I suppose participating for a month will get you decent connections to share outside experiences with. Again, it needs to be mutual to work.

I hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Intellectual property is part of the western capitalfascist regime. Once everything is collecitivzed again, this wont matter. Abolish capitalism.

I call this thought weaving. With a drop of autism and giftedness, you can get highly elaborate pattern recognition which either drives you mad or gives you a pretty good view of the future, depending on the last 10 minutes. :D

We need AI hype off of this platform. LLMs and such are only important for science. Everything else is just massive waste of resources which we absolutely dont have and cant spare as a population. We need 100% renewables NOW and we need to stop expanding AI immediately.

Hi folks! I'm here with another idea. Let's make an amazon alternative. I know! I know! That was asked for a couple times already but lets discuss some details.

Amazon is basically glorified dropshipping by now. What if we just made federated (not sure if over activitypub would work) ads and sales, powered by fediseer (the "trust" network of the fediverse).

Example 1: So you buy at toms groceries, you trust them. they have experience with tina's hardware store and they trust them. so you can buy both toms and tinas wares on both sites.

Example 2: So for example, I run a small business that sells computers. You run a small business that sells mice and keyboards. I have worked with you before so I mark you as trusted in my local website, which federates with yours, showing your products in my shop. If a customer buys my computer and buys your keyboard on top, my site sends you a buy order with customer address and payment. I get a small fee for my electricity of say 1%.

Can someone try and poke holes in this idea? It feels like this could work!

Have a nice weekend.

Hello infinitve wisdom of the fediverse!

Delving into the undepths of laptop manufacturers, I have recently found out that very few distinct manufacturers actually exist. A lot of laptops are just rebranded/whitelabeled.

Since I have not found an answer to my newest question on the search engine of my least distrust and I wont ever post on reddit again (which did come in handy for this stuff in the past), I ask you folks.

Captiva, a brand that seems to be sold by a lot of vendors, at least in germany, seems to be a subsidiary of ecom trading (a b2b seller for hardware that I use for work). They use the same chassis as schenker from what I can see.

I heard that some chinese vendor makes these but I think, since we have a more consumer oriented audience here, we might want to make it more transparent so people can make informed decisions instead of doubling the price of their hardware by it going through tons of hands.

P.S.: I took longer to search for a fitting community for this question than I took for writing it. If you know a better place to put this, pleas lmk. Thank you, have a great new year if you celebrate it.

VLC as always saves the day. Most recently for me when you want to watch HDR UHD ripped to 1080p. With plex, this becomes a problem you need to buy a plex pass for and more significantly, must have a '16 Intel CPU or newer to be able to remap it while VLC does so in the fly.

Details: In plex, the colors are so washed out it looks like a black and white movie. In VLC, the colors hit you like

Addition: I tried two remedies while packing with handbrake. BT.709 colorspace and a custom one from reddit. Both lead to the movie being so dark that you cant see most of the details.

Conclusion: VLC being open source, we should be able to see what they are doing and copy this behavior. if plex wont do it without payment, this could be huge for jellyfin for example.

Anyone with actual knowledge who can shed light on this?

I just looked at a game that is 60€ and said "I dont think its worth that and would buy now for 30, just to check it out". Then I had the idea that some publishers/devs might benefit from knowing that 1-100000 people think that the game is worth X and would buy now for that price right now. In a case like today, the additional revenue would help their financial report etc. They could make short discounts to get especially these customers or even more tailored, you need to press "buy" and confirm at that price to let the publisher know. Like suggest price on ebay.

Let me know your thoughts and if this is a terrible idea. :)

Finally! After weeks of work, I have successfully booted postmarketOS on both of those devices. This should hopefully make the adoption of both, RISC-V and PostmarketOS easier.

Hi there! I'm still trying to build alternative OSs on the DC-ROMA PAD II and I have successfully built spacemit's u-boot but the board used in the ROMA PAD does not seem to be supported. I asked deepcomputing about it but since people might already have that config somewhere I thought I'd ask.

Spacemit advertises their K1 soc as compliant with the RVA22 but this table suggests it might not be: https://mastodon.giftedmc.com/@haui/113372897786006093

What am I missing?

Hi folks! I got my order of the now out of stock RISCV tablet DC-ROMA PAD II today.

Hardware It is decently manufactured, about 11 inches in size, has wifi, a small keyboard (ordered on top), headphone jack, 8 cores spacemit cpu, usbc connector and sd card slot (and maybe sim but unsure).

Operating System The device comes with ubuntu 24.04 on the internal storage and a micro sd card with debian. Both run decent oob but what comes next is rather peculiar

What happened so far The devices run patched everything as far as I can see. upgrading ubuntu bricked gnome shell so that it permanently maxxes out one core and makes the device unusable. Maybe I should have made a backup first but I didnt think it would go unusable asap. Pretty much the same happened to the debian system, which I did backup before updating. The real issue is that there are barely any riscv images out there and building them is quite the endeavor.

So for now I'll use the backup of the debian system until I have familiarized myself with the hardware enough to know what I can and cant do.

Fair warning To those thinking of purchasing this device, be careful. It is marketed as a developer device and even as a dev, it is very rough to use at this point. there is an online manual with 7 pages which explains how to turn the device on, thats it. no info about debugging tools AT ALL. You have been warned.

Future Of course I'm not done with it and will attempt to port postmarketOS to it as well as learn how to make reproducible images for other OSs. Let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to give advice if you are experienced. This is my first riscv device.

Hi there,

I'm hosting a dedicated server for satisfactory on my homeserver. It has 16 GB of ram which are 30% used WITH the game running and 4 cores which are barely touching 15% usage, also with the game running.

I checked my connection and it is fairly stable, both on lan and wifi otherwise. I switched to lan so I could debug the connection but it seems like a different problem then wifi.

The server is running in a container from this repo: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server.

My guess would be that I maybe have accidentally limited the server in terms of ram or cpu usage. Will check.

Let me know if anyone else has this issue. Have a good one. :)

I'm not totally sure if I'm just hyped up but i wanted to share that I ordered a device and am (im)patiently awaiting the shipment.

does anyone already have the device? hows your experience? what do you do with it?

i might get around to make a video or just a post about it in detail.

have a good one
