The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it…

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

Either that, or they might dedicate a whole wing of the museum to all the lawsuits they fired off throughout their history, against independent community fan projects.

Nintendo is a lawsuit company that makes games on the side after all.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

:D

Thank you!

You forgot about Eternity

Would love to hear about it’s score since it’s my favorite way to browse Lemmy :)

It’s not dead,
the (over)hyped period is just over.

I for one do plan on picking it up again in the near future, they added quite a bit of new content (pals, tower boss, island, oil rig, arena, raids, …) since I last played it.

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

English is not my native language,
my mistake, corrected it.

Did not know that,
however it won’t make me change up my mind about Nintendont.

All their previous lawsuites and takedowns against the modding and emulation communities, where not fake, nor trolls, and made me despise them.

Nintendont,
the lawsuit company that makes games on the side, strikes again…

We’re well beyond the point by now of me ever buying anything from them again.
I won’t support such behavior of any company.

Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)

I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
https://looking-glass.io/

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:
https://github.com/olavmrk/usb-libvirt-hotplug

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:
https://github.com/Metastem/wikiless

I mean same applies to the Chinese,
but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…
