If I uderstand it correctly, this feature will be tied to build flags anyway, so server distros can have this turned off in their kernel.

🤘 thanks dude

One of my “modern” folk song is about exactly this phenomenon.

Edit: here it is, if someone is interested, it’s an old-styled, descending, parlando rubato hungarian folk song. I noted it down using solmization.

         A
  2/4||: la,/8 mi/8 mi/8 re/8 | mi/4+ mi/8 | ti,/8 do/8 re/8 mi/8 | ti,/4 la,/4 | ti,/2* :|
         B
     ||: do/8 do/8 ti,/8 la,/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/4 | ti,/2* | do/8 do/8 do/8 re/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/8 | ti,/2* |
         C
     || so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 | so,/4* do/8 ta,/8* | la,/2** ||

(the comma after the solmization indicates the note being in a lower octave. Plus sign after a not length value means it’s dotted. Asteriks means fermata. Also, there is one strange solmization note (used in relative solmization) which I marked as “ta”, it’s a flat ti.)

And the lyrics (in hungarian)

“Várakozom én a százötvenegyes buszra, ( A )
Kezemben készen a sodort cigaretta, ( A )
Meg is gyújtom azon nyomban, ( B )
Szippantok belőle hosszan, ( B )
Ah, de megjött már az a busz.” ( C )

Which translates to this (I used ChatGPT for the translating, told it to be a bit more… free or poetic or idk):

“Standing at the stop, the one-fifty-one in sight,
In my hand, a cigarette rolled tight.
I light it up, breathe in the smoke,
A long, deep breath, with every toke,
Ah, but now the bus is here, just right.”

what’s the problem using RST with Linux?

Just asking, my old laptop too has RST, but no problems with Linux. (Granted, the manufacturer’s website states I should install only 8GBs of RAM max and once I used 16GB in it, and had some strange… memory related issues sometimes… with 12, there’s no problem. Tho this wasn’t a Linux problem, my laptop just hanged after booting into anything. (Linux, Windows, memtest, anything, really))

unless your storage is a floppy disk, won’t be a problem

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, this is broken, too. But around 40 taps later, it works once or twice.

Debian is nice.

The site you linked ia broken in this manner for me, too.

As for the pi-hole - no, nothing like that. I have some extensions and Firefox’s blocking set to strict mode, but they don’t matter.

Because Mozilla promised us privacy, and “privacy-friendly” ad tracking is still worse privacy than not baking ad tracking into the browser in the first place.

I don’t think “privacy” works in a way you snap your fingers, and bam, you have privacy, without any progress or stations in your way. Especially in today’s web. Also, it’s not just on Mozilla. On the contrary. I feel like Mozilla is the only “bigger name” in this market who tries to navigate in this shitstormy sea that is the web now.

Tho, it’s just me, but it sounds much better if my browser handles all the tracking and data sharing business in a controlled manner with advertisers in a “privacy-friendly” way than no control overall (especially since it’s Firefox and not Chrome/Edge), hoping only the other side would respect my preferences and requests.

But in the end, as I read other comments here, the problem is just the default state of the checkbox, got it. Feels a bit silly - in this particular case - but I can understand it.

I understand this, thanks. But still feels way too overreacted. But now, that’s just what I think about this.

Peoples are mostly angry at the fact that they just silently slipped this system in without asking for consent.

But why? Does it expose more data? More sensitive data than before?

What I don’t get, but maybe because of the lack of information I have on the topic is that if it’s better in terms of data privacy than before, or is it better if it’s turned on than off, why is it such a great problem, if it’s turned on by default? In this case, not turning it on would be something that one should be noted. Any technical, real-world reasons why not giving my consent to enable this feature gives reason to get mad, or is this really just about “not having a choice”, regardless the outcome?

If I understand all this correctly, Mozilla teamed up with Meta to create a method that helps advertisers in a user privacy-friendly way. Aside from the initial trigger people have here reading the word “Meta” or by just the existence of ads, is there any problematic with this, without going really deep into tinfoil hat territory?

Also, am I understanding it correctly that the outrage is mainly because this feature is enabled by default? So again, a function that helps protecting your privacy, is enabled by default? Because, it seems most people just offended by only this fact alone.

But I’m maybe missing something here.

30 from it is stackoverflow, 10 are github, and 2 e926 pages.

14 werewolves…

it’s just suspiciously perfect

first Tenacious D, now this…

Debian was always like this.

he really needs a hug

Both of them is about customization. Hard. I don’t think there’s two similar Slack or gentoo installation. So, for me, at least, it feels there’s really no need distributions of those. Maybe it’s just by definition, though.

Idk man, just wanted to look smart.

I guess kinda the same reason why there are not many distros based on Slackware.

My choice is Connect for Lemmy. (on Android)

Tried out a few; Voyager, Sync (for Reddit, it was the best), Jeroba and god knows what else, but Connect was the one that actually felt right.

it’s a nice little Flutter app. it feels native (sort of) to Android. The other apps were strange to me, cause they have more of iOS UI or else, or they arw PWAs or else…

The reason why I don’t use Sync is because it had strange bugs and was limited a while ago (compared to Sync for Reddit, also my purchase of it obviously lost), also has ads n shit, which is fine, understandable, if the dev would like to earn money with it, it’s a cool and complex app, it worth the money.
