All of them? An impressive feat. I tried to watch them all one time, having seen most of the good ones. Gave up after Yellowbeard. I don't think there exists a worse movie with as many great people in it.
It's difficult to say, because all the atoms suddenly doing that would mean that some basic laws of physics had changed, and since it isn't specified exactly how they've changed to produce this strange result it's hard to predict what might happen next.
But it seems a reasonably safe assumption that there would be a large explosion and then no more Earth.
nexusmods.com is blaming their current outage on Fallout:
We are experiencing much more traffic than usual due to the popularity of the Fallout TV series [...] this extra traffic could cause a degraded experience across the website and our applications.
It sort of looks nice but it doesn't seem to work very much. Any links I click on a twitter page do nothing but bring up a login form. Sometimes it comes up first, obscuring the content, even if I don't click any links. I'm considering putting in a redirect rule to send every twitter link here instead.
Yeah, I guess so. So it's not a replacement for Nitter. I'm sure two or three people will have a use for it, difficult though it is to imagine anyone signing up for a Twitter account in 2024.
It's not as if google's map is without problems. Even when it comes to finding shopping opportunities, depending on what you're looking for (computer shops, locksmiths) it can have a lot of locations on the map that don't exist in reality. And then for something like fast food you can assume it's more prominently showing whichever chain has paid the most.
Maybe it's worth it if you need to be sure of finding the nearest McDonalds, but it isn't the map I'd go for first for most things.

I haven't seen a lot of posts regarding the newly "discovered" Russian backdoor #Kapeka from any of the usual suspects. Only articles in general newspapers.
Is it normal now to refer to every rootkit as "a backdoor" because that is one of its functions? After all the recent talk about the other kind of backdoors I would hesitate to do so.
All of which makes me ask again, with growing despair, why journalists continue -- by actively participating on Musk's site -- to actively support this evil man's business.
TEHRAN- Throughout history, humans have harbored a fascination with envisioning the world of tomorrow and its potential appearance, a concept that has been imaginatively translated into literature through the genre of science fiction.
Sometimes science fiction tells you something about the people who produced it. Other times, readings of of science fiction tell you something about the people who read it. This essay is ambitious but doesn't ever pause to justify its stark claims about particular works and doesn't quite hold together to the end.
Context: my gf mentioned getting a vpn for privacy, and I tried to explain that it "does" help, but it's more like type of windows on a house. It certainly can be part of the package, but it's no where near the foundation....
Nobody mentioned JShelter yet. It may not make browser fingerprinting impossible, but it's the easiest way to make it harder. It's easy to use, just turn it down for any sites that it breaks which you'd prefer to be not broken.
Also, use firefox and clear out all your cookies and site data regularly. Make exceptions for sites you actually want to identify yourself to. Noscript is another thing to consider, though I haven't used it recently myself. Use Tor Browser if there's something you want a little more privacy than usual for.
I was all ready to roll my eyes at yet another attempt to blame all the Firefox problems on one thing or another based on superficial and emotional considerations without any data or serious analysis, but it turns out it's just the same video from a few months ago being posted yet again.
I criticized the video last time it turned up in my feed. I don't feel it's worth doing again. The former over-paid CEO has since departed from that post, FYI.
I dunno, it might've been on mastodon. It's not as if I said anything that's likely to change your mind if you think this video is interesting and insightful. I'm not going to watch it again, but I remember it well enough to say that the only real questions it raises are that of how it got so many views and why it is still doing the rounds so many months later. It misses the mark. Stop to consider it carefully and I've no doubt you'll find for yourself much better things to say about the real problems at Mozilla.
Indeed my comment seems unworthy of as much attention as you've given it. But you obviously care a great deal about the subject, so I suppose you must've noticed that in general much of the rhetorical abuse directed at Mozilla is even more unfair. I suppose it's because people like to look for easy targets.
My own explanation for why Firefox market share is down would primarily consist of two things: 1. Abuse by Google and Microsoft of their monopoly power in other markets to push their browsers, and 2. A long list of individually small product design decisions that slowly eroded its reputation over the years.
Projections based on education and income as drivers of fertility decline ignore the reverse causation, that lowering fertility through family planning interventions enabled economic advancement and improved women’s education access
Interesting. I'd noticed that the best-known projections were unreasonably optimistic in some ways when you look at them in detail, but this angle is novel to me.
He's probably right about Israel and Palestine and all that, but I think he underestimates the willingness of a rational player of Sid Meier's Civilization® in analogous circumstances to spend a turn taking out the obsolete unit that can't do any damage to their modern infantry. Those musketeers can still pillage your mines, slow down and spy on your troop movements, blow up your roads and railways, and of course kidnap your workers. In this instance the game reflects the cruel reality of war slightly better than it's given credit for. Its more salient departure from reality is in mostly failing to depict the suffering of all the non-combatant civilians who we must imagine living in the lands where the wars take place, a failing it shares with for example the game of chess.
Do you recommend using passkey if you are already using a yubikey or some other similar tool? I asked Google Gemini AI and here was what it said:
Yes, I generally recommend using Passkeys in addition to your YubiKey, even if you're already an active YubiKey user. Here's why:
1. Enhanced Security: Passkeys add a significant layer of security on top of your YubiKey. They are tied directly to your device and website/app and resist phishing attacks far better than passwords. This extra layer makes compromising your accounts significantly harder.
2. Improved Convenience: Passkeys can streamline logins. Instead of manually entering a password or even plugging in your YubiKey, Passkeys can often provide a near-seamless login with biometric recognition (face or fingerprint).
3. Future-proofing: Passkeys represent the direction passwordless authentication is heading. As adoption increases, you'll benefit from smoother login experiences on more and more platforms.
4. YubiKey as a Backup: Your YubiKey still plays a vital role as a secure backup if:
Your primary device with Passkeys is unavailable or malfunctioning.
A website or app doesn't yet support Passkeys.
Considerations:
Compatibility: Passkeys are still in their growth phase. Check that your devices and the websites/apps you use frequently support them.
Education: Take some time to understand how Passkeys work, their differences from passwords, and how to set them up and manage them.
Overall: Passkeys and hardware security keys like YubiKeys work best in tandem, offering a strong balance of security and convenience.
Let me know if you'd like more details on setting up Passkeys or would like resources for learning more!
I have one minor complaint based on that screenshot: "Installed size 44,6 MB" does not have the same meaning as "After this operation, 44,6 MB of additional disk space will be used."
It's okay to have it use fewer words, but it should not be at the expense of accuracy.
Some of the cool people moved to Lemmy, but it still seems like a fairly small fraction. I think a larger number have just completely given up on social media and are no longer participating.

When will the two largest providers of secure encrypted email make it the default for messages sent between them to be securely encrypted? If even they can't manage it what hope is there for the rest of the email world?
I mean Tuta and Proton ought to collaborate to make it trivially easy for their users to send encrypted mail between the two services. As of now, I believe, if users of either one send mail to a user on the other, it will normally be unencrypted in transit.
From the looks of the first episode, one thing it's definitely not is low budget. It's well-crafted and probably very expensive. The sex is perfunctory and the violence is lovingly detailed at great length. There are no real surprises, good or bad, in how they've handled things.
Personally I probably would've preferred low-budget and camp, but I imagine it will succeed in achieving the goals that its producers had in mind. I will probably watch some more.
Well, that's one more small group of people learning not to trust Discord. I hope someone is on hand to show them how to set up a matrix server in a jurisdiction not affected by the DMCA.

I went to login to my mbin (previously kbin) account today for the first time in a few weeks, and I was greeted with an image that indicates the assets of teacup.social had been seized. http://teacup.social...
Apparently they do a whole lot of blocking and deleting of websites in response to complaints in Germany. I don't know if teacup.social was among them but with that much stuff getting nuked every day there are bound to be a few false positives. Something to consider before you host anything at Hetzner, perhaps.
Edit: On further searching the web, it seems that ordinary web censorship doesn't typically involve big scary-looking notices from the BKA. Maybe they happened to somehow or other share an IP address (or a server) with these guys?
I own a JVC old european TV and a fire stick tv lite. I used to have a TV in my room and connect it to my desktp PC with an HDMI cable but I removed the telly in order to have more space....
You wouldn't want a laptop for that. A cheap "mini PC" would be the more appropriate choice. Shop around, you can probably find a second-hand or refurbished one with an hdmi port for under $100.
One benefit of port forwarding is that torrents work properly when it's configured. You may be able to download some things without it, but not as many things will be accessible, you can't seed anything, and your ratios will suck.
That's not the only thing I use it for, but the lack of port forwarding was why I left mullvad.
azirevpn.com is the one I'm on at the moment. Dunno if it's well-regarded but it seems good enough for my purposes. As well as Proton there's also Airvpn. If all you need it for is torrents then getting a seedbox is another option.
