I think that also causes issues for roaming profiles and folder redirection. If roaming is turned on then everything in the %appdata%\roaming folder is synced to a server. %AppData%\Local is not. So if your app is using %AppData%\Roaming for temporary data then you are causing a whole bunch on unnecessary IO. Same for using Documents since that if often synced.

The general idea that somebody who works a lot of hours is a good/hard worker in contrast to the amount of work actually completed.

They cry about not being able to serve ads while serving ads that are straight malware and scams. It’s especially funny when a platform goes out of their way to censor (suppress ad revenue) on videos which have even a chance of being misinformation and then proceed to play back to back ads of somebody selling their get rich quick webinar.

Wait… so the author displayed in “by ” is the supposed author of the software, not the one that put it on the store? That’s insane! Also sounds like you’d be open to massive liability since the reputation of the software author will be damaged if somebody publishes malware under their name.

It should be:

A good move!

I’m surprised they didn’t codify “.lan” though since that one is so prevalent.

Other comments have hit this, but one reason is simply to be an extra layer. You won’t always know what software is listening for connections. There are obvious ones like web servers, but less obvious ones like Skype. By rejecting all incoming traffic by default and only allowing things explicitly, you avoid the scenario where you leave something listening by accident.

Reasons not to buy premium:

  • Google having a history of all the videos you watch via your account.
  • Even if Google provided an option to opt out of tracking there would be no reason to trust then since they have lied about not tracking people in the past.
  • YouTube seems to redirect any Premium profits intended to creators to the entity which made a copyright claim on a video. This would be sensible if YouTube’s copyright claim system wasn’t so vulnerable to abuse. Normal (yellow) demonetisation will pay out from Premium though. https://youtu.be/PRQVzPEyldc?si=5-wFn2SqPZLdOlqa
  • Features are removed from YouTube to incentivise Premium such as playing videos while your phone screen is locked.
  • Similar to above, Google have been increasing the amount of ads particularly on phones where ad blockers are harder to use. I.E. pushing users to Premium not by making the service better, but by making non-Premium worse.

I was wondering if it would be possible to help clear this section up:

However, the internal necessity perpetually to be, is inseparably connected with the necessity always to have been, and so the expression may stand as it is. “Gigni de nihilo nihil; in nihilum nil posse reverti,”30 are two propositions which the ancients never parted, and which people nowadays sometimes mistakenly disjoin, because they imagine that the propositions apply to objects as things in themselves, and that the former might be inimical to the dependence (even in respect of its substance also) of the world upon a supreme cause. The quote is from The Critique of Pure Reason, First Analogy, Principle of the Permanence of Substance.

I think they’re saying this:

  • The idea of something being permanent means it has always been and always will be.
  • You can’t seperate these two ideas: permanence requires both.
  • People at the time of writing sometimes try to remove the “always has been” part as it conflicts with or removes the need for a creator (something which is permanent that created non-permanent things).
  • These people applied the idea of permanence to things in themselves as if it were possible to perceive things in themselves, rather than their representations.

I suspect I could be wildly off here.

Out of curiosity, what do people mostly use Lemmy for? I’m 90% doom scrolling memes.

I visited Usti nad Labem back in June while in Europe after being inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhCNEpcPO4 and https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/5dldfi/chernarus_real_life_map_with_in_game_locations/ and figured I'd post my photos here in case it inspires somebody else!

The link goes to a gallery of almost all the videos and photos I took while there as well as some videos. You can click on the map icon (to the right of the title at the top-left) to see every photo on a map. The Arma 2/DayZ locations can be found at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1EJNBRC6X6C2P6Q1MGrsOb8Zynt4&ll=50.71286861566866%2C14.120705128839054&z=12 (posted in the Reddit link above).

Unfortunately the videos can't be put on a map, so here goes!:

  • The first 3 videos (IMG_5980, IMG_5981) are the train ride from Decin (around Rify) to Usti nad Labem (roughly Balota airfield).
  • IMG_5987 and IMG_5995 are at Usti nad Labem station.
  • IMG_6043 is at the east-most part of Usti nad Labem (roughly Balota airfield) near the river.
  • IMG_6255 is the road between Usti nad Labem-Nestmice (Cherno) and Mirkov (Mogilevka)
  • IMG_6259 is at Zricenina hradu Blansko (Zub castle).
  • IMG_6274 is a drive between Mirkov (Mogilevka) to Slavosov (Novy Sobor).
  • IMG_6282 is a drive between Slavosov (Novy Sobor) and Lipova (Stary Sobor)
  • IMG_6292 is a drive from Lipova (Stary Sobor) to Statek Libov (Rogovo), Radesin (Pogorevka) and the intersection between Chuderov (Zelenogork), Green Mountain, Radesin (Pogorevka) and Chuderov - Sovolusky (Pulkovo).
  • IMG_6404 is a drive from Javory (Gorka) to Malsovice (Berezino).
  • IMG_6468 is a drive from Jilove (Gvozdno) to Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav). Turns out this isn't a paved road like it is in the game, and nor is (at least some) of the road between Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav) to Stara Bohyne (Dubrovka). We didn't go down this road though.
  • IMG_6469 is a drive through Krasny Studenec (Krasnostav).
  • IMG_6493 is a drive along the river and Malsovice (Berezino).
  • IMG_6494 is around Malsovice (Berezino).
  • IMG_6496 and IMG_6497 are a drive from Malsovice (Berezino) to the dam at Povrly (Elektro) via Borek (Orlovets) and Hlinena (Polana), Dobkovice (Solnichniy) and Roztoky (Kamyshovo).
  • IMG_6522 is a drive from the dam at Povrly (Elektro) to Masovice (Pusta).
