Having had a disagreement with Miguel De Icaza that boiled down to him saying “Well I have these books on my shelf so I’m right” (narrator: he wasn’t right, it was hilarious later).

I will never, ever touch Gnome. I get it.

Its pretty easy and straightforward. You can connect to your gog account from inside lutris, browse your games, download and install.

Which then sit cleanly next to other games you may have, roms, etc.

I haven’t had any issues with gig + lutris, quite a smooth experience actually.

Though most of the games in my library are older tbf.

Exif-eraser, open source and available on F-Droid, Google Play, etc.

Exif data can contain everything from the make/model of device used to take a picture, to a gps location of where the picture was taken.

Removing that information depends on what you’re using to do it, but can be done with an exif editing tool in pretty much any OS I’m aware of.

Edit: Autocorrect is a pita.

Yup!

The town has 375 people.

That’s not a suburb…

You keep pointing out the design flaw, but I think we are aware that its a flawed design.

So a shit design, yeah, that’s what we’re talking about.

And garbage science has been used in court for a long time.

I think you’re confused.

There are reasons to defederate. Malicious instances are one example.

There are many reasons not to deferederate, like users on a particular instance being assholes to a specific user or group of users.

A user cannot, today, block users from an instance. They can block individual users, they can block communities, but individual blocks can be easily worked around.

A better option is for that user to have the option to block an instance (and its users) that others are fine with interacting with.

You are trying to rework that into something its not.

Edit: Ahh, the no reply just downvote. Says everything. Goodbye.

And in no way does adding user options to block all users from an instance change that.

Why are you arguing against users having additional controls?

Malicious instances could still be defederated though.

The problem is that users also need the option at user level.

That’s my hope for my kids right now.

Still working out where to go, and of course the (lengthy) process of getting there, as well as an obvious step further than simply sending my kids off to college elsewhere…

But “Not the US” is the answer to far too many questions right now.

I had no idea that was built into piefed, that’s great!

App-based is… Not great IMO, it needs to be part of the base or its just not viable.

Honestly I think this speaks to the value of having user-level blocking of instances rather than defederation. Maybe one day that will be incorporated into Lemmy (or similar).

With modifications making it not as good, to be clear.

American here! Its because this is all rhetoric for the idiots that follow him. He doesn’t care if Europeans see him as an idiot, he cares that the idiots here see him as big brained. And the rubes eat up anything that has “free speech” in it because they generally interpret that as “its OK to be racist and misogynistic, its my right because freedoms!”

Hope this helped explain.

And probably also explains why I want to leave.

that will hurt poor people the most.

As is tradition.

Honestly, I’m going to try and leave.
