- Comment on Is ASHDOL a good company for an external cd/dvd drive? 1 week ago:
backing up movies? oh they will absolutely care. if old movies, then for the scatches. if new movies, then for libredrive support.
In any case, those kinds of features aren’t exclusive to a brand, they’re model specifications. My point stands, brand is effectively irrelevant as long as you avoid the obvious scammers.
I don’t think unknown brands are supported by libredrive

why unflashed?

there’s still a difference. whether they can run libredrive firmware, max speed, how well do they handle scratched disks

was there at least any legal procedure through Italian courts? or did they just decide to single handedly censor a whole organization?

@bohwaz @cavallette for once it isn’t Gandi. The .org registry is operated by a US business, who as a result of the sanctions can’t do business with them (autistici)
this is insane and absolutely unacceptable. I guess this is the end of .org and such being a good choice for a domin name. if the operator is not willing to fall in line with the openly fascist USA, they can and will just take you down too
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 weeks ago:
both domains seem to be registered with gandi.net, so it’s interesting only one of them got taken down
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 weeks ago:
autistici.org is down in the EU, their domain name does not exist anymore. how did they do that? surely they didn’t use a USA based registrar.
inventati.org seems to be up for now

These guys knowingly provide hosting infrastructure for people
- sabotaging rail systems across France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands
- sabotaging the Transalpine Pipeline (TAL)
- doing multiple arson attacks and acts of sabotage against Germany’s rail and energy infrastructure (probably referring to “Vulkangruppe”)
Polictical ideology is irrelevant when you knowingly provide a platform for terrorists you will end up in legal trouble.
there is a legal procedure that should happen then, not an immediate takedown! trump’s puppets should contact the Italian authorities, get court approval to request data, if they don’t comply then get the court to seize hardware, or whatever else they do before that. did any of that happen here?

There has been a lot of Proton hate recently, much of it being highly misinformed or just looking for reasons to shit on them. I’d love if people could give me real reasons they dislike Proton.
Personally I don’t like how they do marketing, it feels scammy. the naming, calling “unlimited” something that isnt, highlighting the more expensive option, playing with text sizes to make the lower number that is less truthful larger, the alwaus visible banner with distracting background color that advertises some timed discount. also the newsletters, I mean in my mailbox its fine, but when I register someone on protonmail, go out of my way to disable the promotional emails, and later they are automatically subscribed to them for new proton products… what do I say with straight face if someone asks me about any of these?

Proton does support IMAP, though it is through a desktop app.
how do you use that on an email client on ypur phone?
IMAP is weak security since it uses basic authentication,
why is that such a big issue when everything is transferred over an encrypted connection? sure, not optimal, but email providers don’t want to adopt more modern standards for some reason.
- Comment on Train from Warsaw to Chelm costs £9. In UK this 250 km journey would probably cost at least 10 times more. 2 weeks ago:
why is it autistic to care about things being bad? those should receive the shame who willingly accept and forget all the bullshit imposed on them.

no, I mean was thinking to run some kind of a reddit mirror on fedi.
tbh when I started seeing you I was a bit skeptical, but you are regularly active in the comments so you are good!

I guess maybe it’s rather the number of individual requests. maybe votes are not sent in batches

If it’s an older model, you would probably save a lot of energy just by upgrading.
sometimes people say newer HVAC systems use a more eco friendly gas that loses its efficiency when there’s hot enough out there. is that true? what would you recommend for people to pay attention to regarding this?
- Comment on Feeling sad 4 weeks ago:
third places are closing one after another. because my generation is growing up, getting full time jobs and losing basically all free time. and the younger generation is not interested anymore in social experiences, as the places closing admit themselves.
- Comment on Feeling sad 4 weeks ago:
these “you are going to be __ later in life” things are so misleading. there was another comment recently, saying don’t worry you don’t have friends, you’ll have so many! nothing will just happen out of the blue, if your circumstances are not right. the “good things” really can just happen to avoid you if you are not actively searching (and finding) them. I’m nearing the end of my twenties and guess what, there was no fun, and I’m not happy. and I have no fucking idea where to start.
sorry about the rant.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 5 weeks ago:
As a fellow generation member who recalls downloading the original short over FTP - the idea that a TV show can ruin a generation is as laughable as the Satanic Panic.
I don’t think it’s impossible. Think about a TV show run by the tate brothers or something like that.

I’m interested, what makes it illegal?
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 5 weeks ago:
you don’t need cameras for that, the app could just broadcast some kind of wireless beacon and it would be far cheaper.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
going down the layers there’s more and more where it is not true anymore. the writer is even showing with screenshots that the menu in 11 was updated. does he want those features removed? or completely redesigned just for the sake of being different?
seriously it reads like someone who has regret leaving the company, admiring all the fantastic innovations of windows 11 and complaining there is not more.

smaller providers are not so brave and quick with bans, or it would hurt their image. big providers don’t need to care about their image anymore.
