News@lemmy.world•X’s new location labels unmask users. Insiders say the idea was rejected for years.English
323·2 months agoHonestly, I would be very much down to see this on Lemmy too. “This account was registered from country X” “Last post from country Y” (Or alternatively, “Last post from known VPN” so you at least know it’s happening.)
It adds some interesting context at the very least.
Screaming the dream, you say?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Whats a good iTunes-like interface or media library manager for Windows?English
3·2 months agoiTunes stores them by audio file tags, so the better you tag your files, the better organized they get in the file and folder structure. So say you want to grab you Oingo Boingo Dead Man’s Party album for some reason, it will be organized by Oingo Boingo/Dead Man’s Party/1. Dead Man’s Party.mp3, etc etc.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What platform currently exists to replace FB?English
24·2 months agoMind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I’m mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Falls For Satire From Site Called ‘The Dunning Kruger Times’English
19·2 months agoFor a moment there, Trump almost respected Obama.
“Wow! Look a the grift on this guy! Why am I not receiving royalties on legislation too?”

Technology@lemmy.ml•No account? No Windows 11 for you, says MicrosoftEnglish
1·3 months agoAnd last I checked (but it’s been a few years) you could easily buy a “salvage” SN on eBay for like $15.

Technology@lemmy.ml•No account? No Windows 11 for you, says MicrosoftEnglish
1·3 months agoNo offense but with the number of random processes running on any given machine, I am in no way gonna trust a mission critical app to work right from a pirate site and not load something extra like a keylogger. Hell it barely works right in a fully legal install…
Also, I used to strongly advocate switching off Creative Cloud to Affinity to own the software but I have this horrible feeling that they may be going either subscription or AI slop or both on the 30th and you can no longer buy version 2.
(And I say that as a long-time Adobe stockholder from back before they went pure evil with Creative Cloud.)
Typical teen: “What?? No mom, I just crushed some beans earlier, I swear!”

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Discord now has in-app ads for an AI company that you can't turn off easily. Fun.English

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Politics in America has always been dirty. How does trump really stack up?English
4·4 months agoI mean I don’t have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don’t have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.

- No sitting president before him has been a convicted felon.
- No sitting president before him has been involved in the sheer volume of sexual scandals from assault to cheating to being implicated in possible pedophilia.
- No sitting president before him has refused to return literally boxes and boxes of classified documents which he kept as trophies (or possibly as items for sale) while storing them in extremely inappropriate ways. (This is extremely different from Biden, btw, who promptly returned a few accidentally retained documents. Trump was playing shell games with them, repeatedly swearing he had returned them all while doing things like loading them on planes to move to other locations, etc.)
- No sitting president before him has attempted to overthrow the government when they lost an election.
- The level of bribery and corruption in his administration is off the charts.
- The number of lies he tells has always been off the charts. (“I’ve never heard of Project 2025!” while having given a speech to its members and now following its plans to dismantle the federal government.)
- His department heads have all been picked to dismantle the departments they’re in. (Project 2025 again)
And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He’s currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.

1·4 months agoAs far as I know, there still aren’t any non-WebKit engines for iOS, even though the possibility is theoretically there as of 17.4… (It may need to be EU-only? I’m not clear on that part.)

Apple@lemmy.world•PSA: Apple will suck you into Liquid GlassEnglish
2·4 months agoYou have to have set something up differently from me because on my machines it was a separate install from everything else down at the bottom of the updates page. And yes I did it. No major issues so far, although I wouldn’t have jumped in for a long old time if I still used Adobe products regularly.

City hall seems like the obvious answer.
