The reason is simple: we want to get you security updates faster, and give you more control over your own machine.
Security work has sped up across the entire Linux world; vulnerabilities are found faster than ever, in packages and in the kernel itself. A Fedora base lets patches reach you more quickly, and on your own terms.

Technology@lemmy.world•A German city may soon ban smart glasses on public transport, poolsEnglish
24·1 day agoIt is basically already illegal everywhere in Germany. German law has these things called “the right to your own image” and “the right to your own voice”. Basically if I want to film or photograph you, I have to ask for permission first, even and especially if you’re out in public. There are exceptions for if the person is incidental to the image (I photograph a building and you just happen to walk into the shot) but these don’t really apply when riding the bus. So using the glasses is already illegal. This is about wearing them.
Side note, this is also why Germany doesn’t have as many private security cameras. Because you need to place them in such a way that you don’t film the sidewalk, which is complicated. And it’s also why German media doesn’t use secret phone recordings. It’s always a “recollection from memory” re-enacted by a voice actor.
If you follow a tutorial: Switch it up to make it yours. Make small changes. For example: If the tutorial is for a shoot 'em up where the camera scrolls top to bottom, make your game scroll right to left. Stuff like that forces you to think differently about the work, which should help you understand and retain the information better.
There are also interactive tutorials like this one from GDQuest for Godot: https://school.gdquest.com/courses/learn_2d_gamedev_godot_4/learn_gdscript/learn_gdscript_app

World News@lemmy.world•Go woke, get rich: why rightwing hate campaigns don’t affect the box officeEnglish
61·1 month agowhere are you getting this from? dislikes where? because youtube doesn’t show dislikes. yes, there are extensions that restore that function. but those extensions are extremely imprecise, because they project the numbers based on the like to dislike ratio of their users. But even if I grant you that there where a lot of dislikes, why would you disable dislikes, if they where never displayed in the first place?
All of which brings me to believe that you are lying.

World News@lemmy.world•American-style tipping system is gaining ground in the NetherlandsEnglish
31·2 months agoTo be fair, the system in question does the math for you. It is still contra to European tipping culture though.
The circus maximus (the big hippodrome in Rome) also hosted gladiatorial fights and athletics competitions. The meme is misleading in the way it selects the venues.
It (potentially) allows them to charge at both ends. I don’t know if that’s what happens in Brasil specifically but it happens in a couple of countries.
The providers charge the users for the data use and the services for being exempt from the data caps.

31·2 months agoWhat changes with the return of Chat Control 1.0—and what stays the same:
- What is coming back: US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud.
- What remains unchanged: Public social media posts and files hosted in cloud storage could already be scanned without this law. Furthermore, private messages can always be reported by users, or monitored by authorities using targeted, court-ordered wiretapping.
- What is still NOT being scanned: End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp, have always been exempt from these scans. Additionally, European providers of messaging and email services have never implemented chat control measures.

Games@lemmy.world•Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective.English
1·2 months agoSome countries even explicitly allow you to break DRM to make a backup copy of your physical media.
To pick one country, Germany for example: There it’s called the “right to make a security copy”. Paragraph 69d (nice) of the copyright law states:
The creation of a backup copy by a person authorised to use the programme may not be prohibited by contract if it is necessary to ensure future use.
That means physical copies have, legally speaking, an endless shelf life.





















There are third party clients for a lot of streaming services as kodi add-ons. Here for example is the add-on for P+: https://www.matthuisman.nz/2021/06/paramount-plus-kodi-add-on.html
Please keep in mind that I haven’t used these for years and can make no comment on whether they still work. There are also some inherent limitations. Quality will be caped at 720p for example because widewine Linux bullshit
