Vittelius@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•The Netherlands will withdraw from 2026 Eurovision if Israel is allowed to competeEnglish2·6 天前Yes, but is there any evidence that Moroccan Oil is an activist company? They were founded by an Israeli, but in Montreal, Canada and are headquartered in New York, USA. They don’t seem to have any direct ties to the Israeli military or government, because they are a haircare company. Companies usually care more about their bottom line than about their government’s agenda (as long as the two don’t collide)
I don’t see how this one’s involvement stops the EBU from kicking out Israel.

Vittelius@feddit.orgto Buy European@feddit.uk•Android Security or Vendor Lock-In? Google’s New Sideloading Rules Smell FishyEnglish12·23 天前Sailfish is probably the most complete alternative to the big two. It’s got the biggest app ecosystem, first party hardware (meaning you can actually buy a device with it preinstalled - and yes Ubuntu Touch has a hardware partnership, too) and is based in Finnland.
Unfortunately it’s not completely open source

Vittelius@feddit.orgto Buy European@feddit.uk•Android Security or Vendor Lock-In? Google’s New Sideloading Rules Smell FishyEnglish5·23 天前I don’t know how to link comments on lemmy, sorry, but you can check my comment history for the conversation.
Do you see the icons next to your username? You right click either one of them and copy the URL.
Vittelius@feddit.orgto Books@lemmy.world•Writer Elisabeth Wheatley explains Audible's new policy that aims to create a monopoly and keep audiobooks out of libraries and other storesEnglish6·25 天前If you are looking to move away from Audible but don’t want to split your library over multiple apps, then you should take a look at https://audible-tools.kamsker.at/
Audible allows you to download your books in their proprietary format directly from the website. The website linked above converts those into actually usable files to put onto your audiobookshelf instance or whatever. Plus it’s all just ffmpeg under the hood. So once you converted one file online to get your 4bit “decryption key” you can do the rest locally
Vittelius@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•Vienna announced as host city for Eurovision song contest 2026English6·30 天前Yes, but none that even comes close to Vienna in terms of size. Vienna has over 2 million inhabitants, the next city (Graz) has only 300 thousand.
Innsbruck (132000 citizens, 5th biggest city in Austria) actually also made a bid to host the contest but lost to the capital
Vittelius@feddit.orgOPto Games@lemmy.world•Stop Killing Games: The EU's Digital Fairness Act, or how you can help even if you've already signedEnglish7·2 个月前I’m not defending the praxis, but I will point out that this is a slightly different problem. The initiative is fine with publishers delisting a game, after all. It’s more concerned with what happens to a game after it has been sold.
That doesn’t excuse payment providers playing cop, but again: Slightly different problem.

Vittelius@feddit.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPEEnglish16·3 个月前That part of the argument is slightly different. If I understand the press statement correctly, what they are saying is: “Some servers can’t, on a technical level, be hosted by the community”. And that’s not a straw man (arguing against something never asked for), that’s just a lie. We have access to all the same stuff as the industry (AWS etc). Hosting these kinds of servers might be very expensive, but the initiative only asks for a way to keep games alive not for a cheap way (though I would prefer a cheap way of course)
Vittelius@feddit.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPEEnglish62·3 个月前It’s also a strawman argument. Because yes, developers have less to no control over the operation of private servers. Yes, that means they can’t moderate those servers.
But
This initiative only covers games, not supported anymore by the devs anyway. Meaning legally speaking everything happening to private servers would be literally not their concern anymore. And new legislation, should it come to that, would spell that out.
You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It’s what I use for my setup.
Vittelius@feddit.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Signatures skyrocket for **Stop Killing Games** campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 48 hours. (Details on how to help in text body of post)English5·3 个月前One thing you can do: In person organising. It’s something the campaign has been really bad at. Have some flyers printed up and start handing them out. I don’t know the Italian school schedule, but if universities are still in session they might be good targets.
I did it last year, first at Gamescom and then at a local uni and I think it helped spread the word.
Vittelius@feddit.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite wellEnglish29·4 个月前https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?
For a lot of people it’s not even “going back”. They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.
Lemmys default web UI doesn’t have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That’s a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.
Except the competition doesn’t do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won’t close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.
Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn’t a good option either
Vittelius@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•French paedophile surgeon who abused hundreds sentenced to 20 years in jailEnglish8·4 个月前Apparently: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rétention_de_sûreté_en_France
In French criminal law, “rétention de sûreté” is a procedure for placing prisoners who have served their sentence, but who present a very high risk of reoffending because they generally suffer from a serious personality disorder, in a socio-medico-judicial security center. This measure is limited to convictions for the most serious crimes, in particular sex crimes, and must be expressly provided for in the sentencing decision
Translated with DeepL
I couldn’t find an English source, even the English wiki article on preventive detention doesn’t list France.
