I can't speak to the specifics of it, but Bedrock and Java editions are functionally entirely different games. They're designed to function nearly the same, but under the hood, the only real similarities are in the graphical assets. Past the user interaction, they're not really comparable at all.

Since OpenNIC resolvers are user-run, doesn't that mean a bad actor could theoretically pop up at any time and log any request that goes through them?

Gallery-dl is another option.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

So now I can get ChatGPT to tell me my question is stupid and a duplicate of something that only applied in 2002?

Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk’s platform as “freedom technology.”

Ah, I see. He went insane.

Pretending the actual goal of the invasion has ever been to suppress fascism

Pretending I said anything else

🤡

And FYI, fascism is an authoritarian, totalitarian form of government generally know for suppressing opposition through force, right? Sounds a lot like RUSSIA to me.

Just an FYI, OP actually believes Russia's "WE'rE FigHTiNg NAzIs" story. Well, or at least they pretend to for plausible deniability or some shit.

Yeah, maybe. My experience has been a multitude of hangs and flash drive rewrites. At first, I thought my flash drive might be bad, so I tried another and quickly determined that the other one was actually bad before going back to the first. Eventually, I ended up just unplugging everything out of desperation and for some reason that worked.

I'm actually still working on this as I type this, currently waiting on partition changes because, while I read that 500MiB is recommended for Pop's boot partition, the installer has told me that it's too small...

Since I'm still dealing with this, and given the issues I had booting the live disk, there's a good chance this won't even be useable in the end. I've used Ubuntu before, and it boots fine, but fuck if I want to deal with snap.

Edit: Went up to 750MB (yeah, MB not MiB here, easier to think about later). Still says it's too small. Sure wish I had some detailed documentation to work with here, instead of just "use Clean Install" in the official docs and a single Reddit comment saying "500MiB is good." That would the bee's damned knees.

Edit 2: Works fine once installed. The live disk just would not boot with anything else plugged in for some reason.

Recommending Pop_OS! to newbies

That might just be the quickest way to make someone hate Linux forever. The glitchiest, most troublesome install I've ever tried to do. In the end, after two days of work just to get the damn live image to boot, the only reason I kept going was probably sunken cost falacy.

They've been talking to Tencent, I'm gonna stick with "no."

This sets a terrible precedent. We've already seen some pretty not-awesome shit from Valve in regards to their other lootbox farm.

Specifically, TF2 is a bot-infested mess, and for years now, their only real involvement with the game has been to try and squash fan projects. This was first seen with TF2C and Open Fortress, where they asked the devs to take down all downloads and promised full official releases before ghosting them, and now with TFS2, where they just went straight to the DMCA.

 

So, on a user page, under the dot menu, there's a report option. Tapping this opens a Reddithelp article. I assume this is a leftover from Infinity, but I figured it should be pointed out since this app isn't attached to Reddit.

ChatGPT API Piracy (lemmyonline.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Ganbat@lemmyonline.com to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 

Is this even still a thing? It seems to be pretty well dead. Poe-API shat the bed, GPT4FREE got shut down and it's replacement seems to be pretty much non-functional, Proxies are a weird secret club thing (despite being nearly totally based on scraped corporate keys), etc.

 

Since the shutdown of SD on Colab, is there any option for running SD without disposable income?

I know about StableHorde, but it doesn't seem to really... Well, work. Not for people without GPUs to gain Kudos on at least. It always gives a 5+ minute long queue and then ends up erroring out before that time runs out.

EDIT: It took me a while to set up. but as it turns out, my best option is in fact my 10-year-old computer with a 2GB AMD card. Using the DirectML fork of the WebUI with --lowvram runs pretty damn well for me. It's not as fast as Colab was, but it's not slow by any means. I guess the best advice in the end is, even if you're on a shitbox, try it, your shitbox might surprise you. So take note, though, that running on 2GB Vram doesn't work for everyone, only the luckiest of broke mfs can do that it seems.

Is Xmanager a Scam? (lemmyonline.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Ganbat@lemmyonline.com to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 

So, I've heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and...

So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it's timer to finish, close it and... Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.

Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

 

I've got a big music library of CD rips that I'd like to share, but my ISP routes my traffic, meaning I can't forward shit to my computer. I can't change ISPs because I live in a functional monopoly and this is the only provider with reasonable data rates. Is there anything I can do to share? Thanks in advance!

There seems to be some kind of bug with the Subscribe and Block buttons in the sidebar. They're appearing for me as nothing but text. Here's a picture with the inspector open showing that there's no element at all. Image

Also, this only occurs from the community view. Going into a post displays the buttons correctly.

I don't know if this is a Lemmy issue or instance issue, all I know is that I don't believe it was an issue on another instance I was signed-up to.
