My "nExT gEn" update experience:

1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

• The Midnight Ride:
  https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/
• ESO-UI High End:
  https://eso-ui.com/fallout4-high-end/

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.

Vanilla Invidious currently doesn't work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.

Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here's the source code if you're interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious

I've got big respect for Fijxu,
he's been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.

If you can please consider:

• Donating for their work/hosting
• Hosting their fork on your own
• Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork

All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he's mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.

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.

I hate that nowadays everything comes with pre-installed spyware and that they charge you for it makes it even worse..

• Want a TV? Suck on our Android TV with Google spyware embedded
• Want a phone? Get our Android with Google spyware, or go for an Apple with Apple spyware
• Want a computer? We'll shove Windows spyware down your throat

Ffs I just want devices that I own to not spy on me, and I can't even buy them anymore..

Each of them require flashing a custom privacy respecting OS onto it,
and that's a real problem..

I like the electric part.

What I don't like is that it's a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.

Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.

Nice try CloudFlare,
but I'm still picking Quad9 any day over you:

If Nintendo would invest the money they pump in DMCA takedowns and lawyers in their games instead,
then perhaps they would have a chance to make something equally good as Palworld.

Relic Castle,
is the site name that got DMCAd by Nintendont.

Saves you from opening the article.

There's 2 parts to this:

• Android Auto app (on your phone)
• Android Auto Head Unit software (in your car)

Both of which are currently proprietary,
and would need to be written as FOSS from the ground up by reverse engineering the above 2, which would be a huge undertaking.

Also flashing custom Head Unit software to your car will be very hard, is not well documented, and likely will void your warranty, giving low incentive for developers to even attempt it :/

The best you can do right now is aa4mg (Android Auto 4 MicroG),
which at least allows to replace the proprietary Google Play services with a privacy respecting FOSS alternative and Android Auto's dependencies with empty stub packages:

Full disclosure,
I helped with writing aa4mg :)

Nintendo,
reinventing themselves as a law-suite company
which also publishes games on the side..

Vibe Coding: To generate AI slop code without understanding, nor manually reviewing/altering said generated slop.

It literally means, produce low-quality work.

Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?

One thing is certain,
due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
I won't be buying into their next console,
they won't get a single dime from me anymore.

Alien,
the original 1979 one.

Imo it really aged well,
recently rewatched it and was amazed by how good the special effects looked, especially for that time.

It's also a really good movie,
scores 8.5/10 on IMDB,
kept me on the tip of my chair for the full 2 houra.

That behavior fucking sucks actually

Enuf with the Arch hate already..

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don't use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

For those that don't know:
It was a jump-scare flash game.

The goal was to navigate through the maze with your mouse, without touching the walls, which gets harder near the end, likely resulting in you getting closer to and concentrating hard on the screen.

Near the end they flashed a horror image and blasted a loud sound through your speakers.

Personally, it didn't make me flinch much though,
but I guess it affected some others like OP.

2 words for you:
Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc..

*Nintendont

The lawsuit company which makes games on the side strikes again.

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.

Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.

It's a slow process and they'll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you'll be.
