I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.

Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can't possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.

If you're using xz version 5.6.0 or 5.6.1, please upgrade asap, especially if you're using a rolling-release distro like Arch or its derivatives. Arch has rolled out the patched version a few hours ago.

Vaccines are like IT departments. When it works and everything is fine, "they do nothing and cost a lot to run", but when they're let go, things might still works for a while until it doesn't anymore and now everything is on fire.

Not vaccinating your kids works only if other kids are vaccinated. The moment a large number of kids not vaccinated anymore, that's when hell break loose.

Basically just open Media -> Open Network Stream -> Network tab, then enter the playlist (m3u) url there:

The m3u url might contains a list of stream. To see them, open the playlist panel from View -> Playlist:

Also, check out https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv for a huge playlist of iptv.

Why stop at Ubuntu if you can try a new distro each month?

They started to wisen up and hard-coded dns requests to 8.8.8.8 to bypass dns ad blockers now. Heck, some apps like Netflix already do it for years now. If your router can transparently redirect all dns requests to your pi-hole, you should use that feature.

That's actually what Firefox usually did for these kind of features. They're usually delayed as system add-ons.

WTF?! The game is not even released on steam yet? Are they cracking the preloaded version?

They are a good company, but that's not the problem. The problem is the internet is increasingly got centralized behind them, to the point of blocking their IP addresses (or when they have an outage) broke a significant chunk of the internet. Also, once they control a significant chunk of internet, what's stopping them from turning shitty like google (which famously started with a "don't be evil" motto)? At that point it's probably too late to decentralize the internet again.

Yet another experimental API only supported by Chrome. Chrome has always been like this, implementing experimental API that hasn't been finalized yet. You might say they're innovating to support new technologies, but actually it's more like they're doing whatever they pleased, as demonstrated by their removal of jpeg xl support despite web communities plea not to do so (a new more efficient image compression, but not made by Google so screw it), pushing manifest V3 and ad topics, and recent push for web environment integrity API.
