How is this legal? Feels ridiculous to lose games I paid for just because I didn't migrate my account. Same with the Microsoft minecraft account migration. When I bought my CV1 there was the promise that I would not need a facebook account.

It often overcorrects, like not every shitpost really needs a title that sounds like a news article. But for some really clickbaity YouTubers (most) it makes the titles much more usable. The titles are submitted by users, so if the streamer is very small there might be no one to write the titles.

Fuck, this one got me. I didn't see the watermark. Even looking closely the details don't seem AI, the floppy disks on the table, the cup, the keyboard colouring, the phone wire. Even the numbers on the calendar seem plausible with the bad compression. I hate this doubting every picture I see on the internet

Yeah, that is annoying. But for the "You won't BELIEVE what this microwave can do! 🤯🤯🤯" or worse the "This appliance from the 90s is going to REVOLUTIONIZE your kitchen!" at least become something that gives you some idea if you want to watch. Unfortunately some good videos are hidden behind shitty titles I otherwise wouldn't click.
Not technology connections obviously, their titles are fine.

I know a there are a lot of issues with self-hosting email, but I just don't thing this is one of them. First, it probably won't affect a self-hosted servers anyway unless you send a lot of emails, this requirement is only for servers sending 5,000 messages daily to Gmail. And even if you are, the requirements are not that harsh, it's a couple DNS records and a DKIM signing daemon, and if you are using a pre-build email package like mailcow it's probably already doing it.

I will mention that these are very old satellite, this one was 16 years old, there are replacement weather satellites, but they are not easy to receive with cheap equipment like these, requiring internet access or a very expensive setup.
There are 3 frequencies weather satellites generally use for real-time imagery:
VHF: can be recieved with a stationary antenna for very cheap.
L-band: requires a tracked dish, is a bit more expensive, but the rotor can get very expensive.
X-band: requires a more accurate tracked dish, very expensive, sometimes hard to acquire hardware, and an expensive high sample rate radio.

The new US satellites use X-band exclusively while these older ones used both VHF and L-band.
Currently the only real replacement for amateur reception is the russian meteor series which use VHF and L-band.
China's satellites are also only use X-band.
A couple of european satellites can be received on L-band, but new ones only use X-band. (the L-band ones also need a slightly more expensive radio)

There are also geostationary satellites that appear stationary in the sky, they can often be received on L-band, but thats a different thing.

I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel's back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.

There are multiple implementations, the one often found on linux is glibc, you can find the source code for that online. printf is going to be a small wrapper for vfprintf though, so that is where you will probably find what you are looking for

Facebook has owned oculus since before the CV1, but I agree it was much less intergrated and still felt like a separate brand. I'm definitely biased as fuck, but "oculus" is infinitely better than "meta". Much better sounding name. I just made a meta account to migrate my oculus account, but I can't find any way to do it on PC without a quest. I don't have a quest, so I guess I'm fucked?
