I have heard that you don’t need a lawyer in small claims court (in the sense that it’s not really expected). Like I said, though, I know little about it. Maybe someone in a position to know will show up in this thread and fill us all in.
I think the US small claims court is meant to handle situations like this (although I know little about it). I wonder if it’s available to litigants from other countries.
All desktop environments are fancy compared to a simple window manager.
Sorry; the new tool, then. A bug report is a good first start toward getting those APIs supported in Wine. (Even undocumented things are sometimes added.)
Thanks for sharing.
What errors are logged by Wine when FWUpdater fails to run? If you file a bug report, it might get fixed.
I guess that makes sense. I haven’t used Discord in a while, but I think tags are less noisy over there, since they don’t render as something long like @someusername@somelemmysite.example.com. I avoid unnecessary tags on Lemmy because all that extra syntax makes for cluttered comments.
I try to keep in mind that no matter what the thing is, I can always still spoil it for some people…
…or introduce it to some people.
The tag notified me, so mission accomplished. You don’t need to tag someone when replying to them directly; Lemmy notifies them about replies.
Your description reminds me of Doki Doki Literature Club, which also takes the dating sim visual novel format in unexpected directions. To avoid spoilers, I can’t say much more than that, except that it’s free and that I found it interesting despite all these things being far from my usual taste in games.
The title of this post should probably include the words console and mobile.
The unfortunately paradoxical thing about opt-out services is that using them requires giving out your details, and hoping that they aren’t (deliberately or accidentally) leaked.
FYI, a few single-board computers with PCIe slots exist already. If web searching doesn’t find them, asking in this community might help:
CoreLogic defended its practices as legal, saying it’s too difficult to verify consent or anonymise personal data.
And this is what needs changing. It should not be legal for them to have it, nor for anyone to give it to them, in the first place.
Gemini is not just a delivery protocol. It also specifies a content format.
“Feel,” “happy,” “comfortable”… Privacy doesn’t care about your feelings.
The motivation to do the work, spend time learning the risks and available mitigations, disrupt existing social connections in order to adopt something better, inconvenience friends and family, partially isolate one’s self by avoiding the popular systems… all of these things are part of improving privacy in the real world, and at least for many people, fueled by a person’s feelings. Don’t discount the human factors just because you can’t quantify them.
Signal is not my tool of choice, so I’ll answer from a more general perspective:
Having multiple friends and social groups on an e2ee chat system for the past few years feels great. Knowing that our conversations aren’t being recorded and exploited by half a dozen companies, we no longer feel the need to self-censor. The depth and value of our online conversations have grown noticeably.
Yes, there is more work to do, both at the endpoints and in the protocols. No, not all of us have flipped all the switches to maximize our privacy yet. That’s okay. Migrating is a gradual process. We do it together, helping each other along the way, rather than trying to force it all at once. Every step an improvement.
To be clear, I think the original Pirates! actually was Sid Meier’s work. I’m not sure about this remake.
Running it wasn’t exactly straightforward. My CD-ROM copy was a no-go, but I managed to get the GOG version working in a 32-bit Wine prefix with DXVK. (I’m on linux.) Remaining problems are lack of wide-screen support (so I run it in a full-height window) and pauses between various scenes (which I might be able to solve with an older Wine version). It’s playable already, though; I’m glad I put in a little effort.
Other linux users wanting to try it might want to use Lutris, which seems to have install scripts for it, or a console emulator. Or maybe the Steam version works fine through Proton? I haven’t tried it.
I think how often this is a problem varies widely from person to person. I don’t remember the last time I gave a mobile number out to a company, but it was more than a few years ago. The last few that strictly required one were non-essential; I just took my business elsewhere.
If you care about keeping your domain enough that you don’t want there to be an excuse for someone to take it from you, then you use your real info, and choose a registrar that only exposes a proxy contact in your WHOIS entry.
If you don’t care about losing your domain, then you can use fake contact info.
