they/them
A backend developer mainly using Rust, though I’ve been messing around with JVM languages as of late. I play lots of video games too :)
Mastodon: @azzydev@tech.lgbt Matrix: @azzydev:hackliberty.org

Not Gitea, they got bought by a for-profit company or something
I’m not sure how to describe it, so I’ll just give an example. There’s a completely free online game called corru.observer, where all music is available to listen to on soundcloud, where the only support the devs have is to support on patreon/kofi/i don’t remember, or to buy the music on bandcamp.
I love the game, i love the music, and so I supported the game by buying the music.
I’ve been super busy as of recent, but I’ll try to remember to reply to you if/when I do :)
small world, i just picked up three of his books from the library today! Very good author!
I don’t think so, but this sounds like a super interesting idea. I might try this later!
i think they’re talking about Matrix, which is completely different.
The other user didn’t answer your question fully, but heuristic algorithms are very good for this purpose! if you’re able to identify some specific things in players behavior that only occur when they are cheating, you can easily create a machine learning system to identify that behavior, incorporating things like batch punishment (such as VAC or Hypixel’s Watchdog) to make it more difficult for cheat devs to identify the reason, or a manually-reviewed appeal process to account for errors in the model.
You can move the ebook file to where qbittorrent is trying to download it to, and then recheck. It’ll then recognize that the file is there, and should work as a seed.
It’s a good idea to start with MAM since they have interviews twice a week, and you can access invites for other trackers in the forums once you get to vip (which requires 4 weeks of membership, and a ratio above 2.0)
One of the nicer things about it is that you can gain bonus points (which is how you buy extra upload credit and VIP) just by being an available seed. Due to the shear number of books on the site, you won’t be seeding often, but they make it desirable to keep it available in case someone needs it by giving you a certain number of bonus points per hour depending on various factors.
“…why would they punish their product over the users costing them money?”
That’s if Google loses the ad-blocking war, hence the second paragraph, unless they manage to stuff web environment integrity/similar into their website, or if front ends like Invidious become more popular.
“…YouTube still has bills to pay…”
That’s true, but I think Google makes enough money from other things (tracking, other website’s ads) that it wouldn’t hurt them too bad. I think the recent crackdown on ad blocking is less from a large profit drop and rather to send a message to avoid the former from happening. Again though, I could be wrong about that one.
In the end though, I just want to watch and directly support my creators without being forced to waste 15 seconds of my life that I will never get back on a product I never have and never will use.
I think (unsure) you misunderstand. Google, and any other company’s, main goal is to make money. To achieve this goal, i’m saying that if google were to lose profits from people using ad blockers, they are more likely to extract profits from their creators than sacrifice their bottom line.
If google can’t adequately monetize their services (by losing the ad-blocking war), they can’t monetize the creators. Google is evil, but so is the economic system that causes inconvenience to be the most effective way to monetize content.
This is why i wholeheartedly support things like Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc. because that directly supports creators and means that they don’t have to completely rely on a company that no longer says “don’t be evil”.
google has “fuck you” amounts of money, the minority of users using firefox mean nothing to them.
If google was having problems funding youtube, believe me, they’d stop paying creators before that would happen, and then the creators would tell us about it.
What about Argon2id? What are the advantages of bcrypt?
Beware large prime numbers!! NP-complete problems are banned!!! No more math! Lattices are outlawed! You wouldn’t download a public key!!!
you’re a terrorist :’|
It was opt-in, and I think to make your subscription cheaper. Then again, Norton sucks!
…fuck. I’ve been having this idea where sites could perhaps be loaded in the background with the drm in a container, with the content being displayed for the user, with this front end content being modifiable by extensions and such. So if a button needed JavaScript, the JavaScript would be ran in the DRM container and the content would be added to the user’s view.
Not even with containers (in a similar way to how Firefox already handles DRM?)
for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.
if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.
edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏
