Should we ban AI from the list of topics to discuss banning? 😏

on Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgrades in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2d ago
You can just use the Armbian flasher. I have an orange pi 5 plus and a Radxa rock 5-itx, and that’s what I’ve done with both.

I don’t quite see it if I’m being honest. I spend a lot of time looking at cocks, so maybe I’m calibrated differently.

There’s KeyGuard, but the license is simply “All rights reserved.” Source available, non foss?

on Nintendo Wipes Out 400+ Switch Emulator Repos in Single-Day GitHub Sweep * TorrentFreak in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
I suppose it’s true decrypting the files is not so much “circumventing” the encryption as it is… decrypting it, but I think for the purpose of the DMCA it’s the process of “circumventing” Nintendo’s attempt to keep unauthorized people from playing these games that it’s referencing. Encrypting those files is a part of their DRM scheme, so they say undoing it without their authorization violates the law. That’s my understanding of their claim, anyway, and part of the basis for their previous DMCA takedown notices to github. I don’t think this specific claim has ever been tested in court.

on Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
In the 90s, camcorders were a relative novelty and nobody had any reason to be anxious about being filmed because there was no way to easily share video with millions of strange people maliciously for clout. If you were caught doing something funny, you might appear on TV after signing a release. (e.g. America’s Funniest Home Videos) Sharing video on the internet was a practical technical impossibility, and people had mostly private lives. You’re right it’s not really the glasses, it’s the internet and social media. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first person POV provided by glasses makes content like that more compelling, though, and thus more common.
People covertly filmed for malicious reasons even back then of course, but it was not generally made available to the masses.
If I have a point, it’s that I don’t think this is evidence that we’re more fucked up now than we were then, just that technology has enabled new kinds of abuse that were inconceivable back then.

I don’t think taking money for making an emulator is the problem per se, and it’s unlikely it had anything to do with why Nintendo took action against them. It’s… everything else you mention. The brazen, unquestionable, open piracy, and the publicity of being able to play a game that hadn’t even been released as you say. And the DMCA in the US makes switch emulation itself a more viable legal target, because in this form it circumvents Nintendo’s encryption like the article you link points out. You can sell an NES emulator, no problem.

The danger and the stakes are not what is being compared, though. It’s a perfectly good analogy.

on Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
Sure, but unless there’s a surplus of supply they’ll sell their full capacity without doing that. I hope there is, though, or at least that demand for RAM chips will go down soon.

I’m not sure what would stop them from charging whatever they can, which will be a lot.
More competitors should create more downward pressure on what memory manufacturers can charge, but even with new entrants there still aren’t that many.

People on Mastodon have been like that forever, though. I just thought it was a tendency that came from that culture.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
It’s funny, since posting that comment I’ve tested the game controller thing again and it now works just fine.
-
on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
JavaScript and rendering performance as well as USB hardware access if you’re doing something like playing a browser based emulator. Pretty niche, but it’s a usecase that is much more poorly served by Firefox.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Same here. Every now and then I need to disable ublock Origin and reload to make a form with too many external dependencies work correctly.

on Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
We didn’t do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.
To be fair, “MAGA America” is no more responsible for the lack of a law than, e.g. Obama America. I think it’s more likely because Americans are less likely to be in close enough proximity to strangers to have up-skirt photos taken than in Japan and South Korea which do have these laws. That’s not to say we don’t have unscrupulous perverts of course, I remember a man being ejected and banned from a convention I attended because he was walking around with a phone on a selfie stick held low and beneath other people. Bizarre behavior.
(Edit: I looked into it more, and it’s not really clear to me that Japan has any actual laws about this, I found a lot of conflicting info. It seems it may be an Industry self-regulation thing in Japan, and also you didn’t actually say anything about laws in the first place. South Korea does have relevant laws though.)

on Why nano gets used in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 11 Aug 2026
Yeah! I used to use it as my default browser back when it was viable to do so. Dolphin can do all of that pretty well except browse the web. I do kinda wish there was an excellent KDE web browser. Falkon might be nice, but I’d really need a way to integrate with Bitwarden/Vaultwarden.

on Why nano gets used in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 10 Aug 2026
I use kate for almost everything. I can open and edit files over sftp, and it has a terminal like vscode as well. I should try vscode again, it’s been a while.

on 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
Not to mention, it has nothing to do with having a new computer. But you know, they said they were drunk.

on 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
I know you know this, but PC RAM is useful for a lot more than games. Workstation PCs are where I find this situation really hurts. I suppose that to an extent, some of what you describe might apply to development and design tools.
Before this shortage took off, I got a rock-5-itx (ARM computer) with a whopping 32GB of RAM which was definitely overkill for the home server I use it as, but now it feels insanely decadent. I’m looking for ways to utilize it, like running Immich with the full AI facial recognition features and whatnot, Nextcloud with the full text search, etc.

on GrapheneOS says Revolut is blocking its users over Google Play checks in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Aug 2026
Mine is “hence why,” I become irrationally irritated when I see it, but try to harbor no malice towards people I see using it.
It is the Canadian part of North America, so from that point of view it’s not technically wrong.
