I’ve been tired of “modern” security doing nothing but annoy people. Recently, a Portuguese bank “innovated” by exclusively allowing login only on a mobile device. Yes, a clean web browser with 3FA is not “secure” enough, has to be done on a mobile device. Clearly, desktop PCs are too insecure to conduct transactions.
Therefore, because one does not trust their mobile device. One simply spun up a clean Pixel VM, shared my data with Google and just did their work there. Peak security.
I love it when marketing manages to spin Armageddon levels worth of copyright infringement into “spirit of the law” just because a program is magically called “AI”. Machine Learning is just pattern recognition software.
Software that runs on data assembled from petabytes of copyrighted information… And then promptly resold to us.
We may decide later on if it’s okay to do this. But I’m pretty sure that if it wasn’t for the labels we’d have legal WW3 happening right about now.
Oh ho… No, you’re not the only one I’m afraid. It was fine until a couple hours ago, the newest comments confirm it so. Not sure what’s going on.
Hopefully Ross figures it out and it goes back up soon. Thanks for the interest!
EDIT: It’s back up.
Hey folks, just sharing the message. I believe it’s related to piracy as it frequently comes into contact with the preservation of media. As whatever is DRM Free and capable of working offline, is effectively able to last indefinitely.
If you’re European and eligible, please consider.

I’ve already tried Linux several times over the years. My problems were mainly poor program compatibility and RTX card related driver issues for the latest attempt. At the time I couldn’t afford to change since critical work related programs did not run at all properly on Linux. Albeit that has changed in time. Also, because of the AI craze, NVIDIA has finally shipped decent drivers to linux land.
What prevents me most nowadays is mainly having to setup everything, which I’d rather do once when upgrading the whole system. The Power User moat has been filling over time and the confy guys upstairs are non the wiser.
It’s the third god damned time I find newly installed MS software doing “something” in the background that I never authorized. I don’t even have Onedrive. I purged that sin from the metal as soon as I had the chance.
I already intend to change OSes. The real question is now if I do it when I decide to upgrade, or in the fast lane. Which is it Microsoft?
Solid response.
What the heck does that have to do with watching viral videos on cell phones? We’re talking about a competitor to TikTok. With respect, Linux is like 3% of the desktop market, anything happening on Linux endpoints is noise to the big players.
The bitTorrent protocol is infamous for piracy, in fact you’ll hardly find a common man who doesn’t equate the two together (hearing torrents = pirated media) Even with the full copyright cartel doing their damnest, it’s still available world wide. Also, video streaming on mobile data is everywhere and ISPs responded by fattening up their networks with newer, better, faster tech, like 4g/5g.
Your concerns are reasonable, though there is no precedent. Might be, might not be. Hard to say when one lacks the rulebook.
Torrents have been around for over 20 years and most of the time infamous for its abundance of “linux distros”. Citation needed.
Peertube as you said is the closest equivalent as a video distributor. Technically a similar approach to Peertube would work by using both Torrents and Instance data storage. Now what makes Tik Tok so popular is its algorithm, which mind you, is a tiny wee bit manipulative. In future, Peer Tube might implement something like dedicated sections for vertical videos. But without a significant cultural shift, I’m not seeing an effective Tik Tok clone appear without a lot of noses being turned up.
Displaying images, truly a technological breakthrough for the modern era!
Pardon me if I may inquire, but how exactly does Xiaomi’s gallery fail, at being a gallery application? Morbid curiosity if you will.
Without any ratings for customer satisfaction. I might as well sack the entire support staff, don’t bother with AI and I’ll get a answered query to F off in 0 minutes and 100% savings.
I personally find it mildly amusing that picture 1 includes a post of Lemmyverse’s largest Instance announcing it was hacked. (I know it’s true and it’s a good thing that the announcement happened. But still…)
Anyways, with that out of the way. It could be an interesting browser flow, hope people like it!
I stand in solidarity with Godot.
