  This gave me a brilliant idea:

  • Everyone adds a clause to whatever license they use stating "any part of this software may not be used for was purposes of any kind"
  • We wait until software with these licences is spread across the supply chain of everything on Earth
  • …
  • World peace, as no country would be legally allowed to wage war

  This is the missing link in my idea. I suppose there to be a lot of reasons why Ukraine, if it wanted to enact this bottom of the barrel, shitpost-tier of international policy, couldn’t simply “stage” something that would force all of NATO to stand behind the invading country due to a technicality?

  Learn of YouTube, go to youtube.com and there’s content.

  Learn of Mastodon, ask “where’s that?” and be told to go to joinmastodon.org. When I did this, you had to pick an instance. mastodon.social was full, you had to find something else. So you look at every instance there is in the list, and try to filter for moderation rules as you’re told this is best practice. Don’t worry, all of Mastodon can see everything posted by everyone on every instance! Picking an instance is really choosing where your values are best aligned, nothing more. So you spend the effort, make an account, get asked a reason why you’re signing up (though I might be mistaking this memory for when I signed up to Lemmy), have to wait for approval, get an account, and sign into the official app…

  … and there’s no content. The only way I ever managed to get content was to learn of Mastodon accounts outside of Mastodon and manually look them up. So I ended up following a whopping 3 accounts, one of which being some EU governmental account, another essentially being the XDA RSS feed. Needless to say, I didn’t stick around.

  I don’t know if things have improved since then, or how Bluesky does things. But I’d imagine a platform supposedly started by the people who founded Twitter, built from what supposedly was once an internal test of modifications to Twitter, to have an easier onboarding experience than whatever Mastodon did back when I tried it.

  Bit of a tangent, but this pains me every time I read this in threads.

  I wanted to join Lemmy after the Reddit exodus, found out that ml was “the main one” made by the devs and joined it. Last time I carefully tried to pick an instance was Mastodon, and I hardly ever found any content. Decided to check back in the other day, and every account except for the admin’s (like less than 50) was removed for inactivity.

  I’m not some far-right or Russian troll, but because most of them are on that instance everyone on it gets this reputation.

  Signed, European who’s afraid that the far-right movement on his continent will turn into an ultra-far-right turbo-movement now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding the second link, I’ve personally git pulled Ryujinx about once a week (except this week lol) ever since Yuzu was taken down. I don’t know enough about got to know if commits earlier in the history can be manipulated whilst keeping later commit hashes identical, but I can confirm that the commits from last Tuesday match up with my local copy in terms of hash, author and message

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I get a screw like this out?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once had a screw on a laptop that wouldn’t unscrew and eventually somewhat lost its shape. I had asked my uncle for help, who gave me the solution. I think it was slightly less bad than this, but it might help:

  1. Apply WD40 around the edges of the screw, such that it could enter the hole
  2. Apply it to the screw head
  3. Hold your screwdriver in the hole and gently tap it with a hammer a couple of times
  4. Slowly attempt to screw it out, whilst applying firm downward pressure on the screw

  Note that the amounts of WD40 you have to apply are tiny. We’re talking drops of the stuff. It might be best to attempt to spray something else, and use the residue on the nozzle to apply it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SponsorBlock (and DeArrow): "YouTube is currently experimenting with server-si…" - Fosstodon⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve checked the Github when I read this to see whether they’re having trouble as well, and currently it appears that YouTube will block your IP if you use it too much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LPT Do it.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I (a non coder who only knows git “download the Yuzu repo before they nuke it” and git “give me all the updates”) want to do when I get to write a paper. How much git did you have to learn to do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to port any N64 game to the PC in record time⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Note that SM64 (and OoT, but I don’t think that’s on Android yet) are special cases. These have been reverse engineered by the community to the point that they’ve manually decompiled the entire game, and then separately ported to modern platforms. The project in the OP is different, as it’s made for games that don’t have this effort behind them
