Fediverse@lemmy.world•Can Canada find digital sovereignty in the Fediverse? | BetaKit
12·8 hours agoTrump’s Truth Social is based on Mastodon (even if with federation and syndication disabled), and the POTUS Threads profile iirc has ActivityPub enabled. Also wasn’t Germany that also adopted for some government profiles fediverse-compatible services? Or some other EU country. Still, if the neighbors and ideological allies of Canada already tapped into such projects, I’d say it’s no longer uncharted territory, and so the possibility is there.

I forget “random” doesn’t have many inflections.

Technology@lemmy.zip•AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack
4·10 hours agoA suggestion about randomly generated passwords, pick the dictionary files from Firefox for random languages (that you can write without special keyboards/configs, if I may add), put the words included all in a LibreOffice/Excel sheet and set 4 formulas to pick words from the list at random.
From my experience, they’re far more randomic, as well as not uncommonly including special characters, solving part of the pestering for alleged password strength.

Rss Feeds Recs@lemmy.world•OCD in me just noticed #Newsboat seems to have a limit of 17 characters per #RSS feed when at the all in one query:All Unread Articles:unread = "yes" feed.
1·11 hours agoTrying to cheat by mixing Japanese, I could fit even less, only 12 characters.

However, maybe Arabic or Chinese are more space-efficient? Would have to learn either though…
Or maybe Newsboat and Linux’s Bash support emoji? If so, I have some ideas…
I mean, 2019 to 2026 some Minecraft players would have gone from childhood to adult life. The game itself is near 20 years now.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice
2·17 hours agoAlso regarding Nvidia, I don’t have great experience with it, but Mint Cinnamon and Mint Xfce work rather well with the RTX board my laptop has, just having to add a control tool to change from the default Intel one.
And dunno how it is nowadays, but there’s a third version of Mint, LMDE, that when I tested, was very problematic to get the Nvidia board to work. Though that was over a year ago so maybe they fixed it since.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice
153·17 hours agoLinux Mint is generally the best “it just works” case, focused on stability (to the detriment of speed of updates), ease of use and visually reminding of Windows.
Also Mint comes with a few official visual* changes, but if I might suggest, go with Xfce, not the Cinnamon one. The Cinnamon version of Mint has too many animations that only add micro workflow delays, while Xfce doesn’t have all the fancy effects making it faster to use.

Welcome!
Also though content theft is just as possible in the fediverse, I guess its issue is also a positive at this point in time - it’s possible someone setting a thief bot doesn’t see all contents being posted due to ActivityPub’s geometrical propagation. Meanwhile Reddit has all in one place for anyone to harvest.
Doggy be like: “dunno what’s going on but I’m happy =D”

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade
3·2 days agoThanks. The instance was having issues with the media hosting platform so it’s in the middle of changing it, but the images should be back in a few days according to the announcement.

GOG@lemmy.world•Final Fantasy VII now also added to GOG's catalogue
4·3 days agoPlayed it iirc around 2019. Didn’t find it to be all that much, but it has a consistent and full story, surely fun enough (and some times enough is more than enough 👌)
Also I hope the New Threat mod works with this version. Been meaning to continue for a few years now
but life happens

Reddit@lemmy.world•How likely do you guys think it is now that Reddit might copy Discord and introduce mandatory face/ID checks for accessing NSFW content globally?
17·3 days agoI have a very slight feeling Reddit’s working for China, and not for the US. If I’m right, then chances only grow since the pushes for identity verification gained traction around last September.
For Misskey-powered instances, there’s also Nijimiss.moe from the bigger ones I know about. It appears to either house or federate a lot of Japanese users too, from what I could observe. And dunno your Mbin instance, but on mine, I can follow Misskey.io and Nijimiss.moe users just fine, just taking a little while to populate the /all page (but surely happening since Japanese folks seem to interact between one another a lot), and at worse on federation to Mbin with some formatting issues for posts since Misskey feels a bit like its own thing.
But alas, on the flagship (?) instance, I know a guy that was able to create an account when he/she lived for a while in Japan, and when the person went to another country, access to the site remained.

Peertube@lemmy.world•Most user friendly peertube instance for beginners?
10·3 days agoPer-instance rules, communities, cultures, technical limits, etc., could make it less friendly, which I presume is what the OP is asking about.
