Aren’t Mastodon instances maintained by volunteers in their spare time? I can’t imagine how they manage to continue moderating it once there are ten thousand or millions of users on it. At least the moderators on Twitter were paid. It was their job. I think people massively underestimate how much work this is.

What a colossal waste…

Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi

I understand it. When I was quite young, my father was also convinced that beating was an educational method. It took him almost 30 years to apologize for it. In situations like this I tend to say “gtfo as fast as you can”, but of course that’s not always an option.

Stay strong, you still have your whole life ahead of you and it will get better.

Well that is beyond fucked up. here in germany you go to jail right away if you slap your child. Using the belt would be considered aggravated assault here and he would be gone for the next 2 years at least. It is completely insane that something like this could be legal.

As subtle as a brick through a window.

And i hope it never changes. It works. Don’t touch it!

No idea why nobody linked it yet, but you can buy them here: https://www.comradeworkwear.com/products/the-playing-cards

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault

Oh please. These pissbaby techbros wouldn’t be crying so much if they weren’t hit where it hurts. It usually takes a while for the wheels of EU bureaucracy to turn, but the following blow is all the harder for it.

As someone who is very happy to live in the EU and proud of what it has achieved so far, I can say: Fuck you Trump and your appendant ulcers!

I would also have a look at the XDA forum. A very large percentage of devices that are not officially supported have unofficial ports (Lineage and others) that run 99% as well as the official ones.

e.g. my old Galaxy S8 was not official supported but one of the staff members of XDA made a port that runs like an absolute dream.

x.com was PayPal before it got renamed and then the donain was unused until the twitter fiasko.

That’s me with SNES emulators…

Is VoLTE not supported by default on GOS?

Yes and no. e.g. see https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-functionality

Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, Visual Voicemail, MMS, SMS, Calling and 5G (SA and NSA) all are supported, however some functionality may not be usable due to Google not supporting carriers on the stock OS officially or due to GrapheneOS not shipping proprietary apps required in order for this functionality to work on some carriers.

Generally 5G, SMS, MMS, Calls and VoLTE will work fine on GrapheneOS with officially supported carriers by Google.

Some carriers may restrict functionality, such as VoLTE, on imported Pixel devices as they only whitelist the IMEI ranges of Pixel device SKUs which were sold locally.

And https://grapheneos.org/usage#lte-only-mode

VoLTE / VoWi-Fi works on GrapheneOS for most carriers unless they restrict it to carrier phones.

So… it depends

If your carrier is official supported by google, your carrier itself supports it and your device is not imported, it is likely to work.

Keep going. They got last year already severals fines for GDPR violations. suming up to 2.26 Billion. Needs moar!

A secret service that protects its own people instead of taking every opportunity to spy on them. remarkable.

they added some nice tools though. e.g. their pacdiff & meld tool eos-pacdiff is pretty nice. then there is a kernel manager and a pretty clever update-script / wrapper around pacman and yay (eos-update). saying it is just Arch + GUI is selling it a bit short imho.

Cheats running at ring0 aren’t invisible

Every rootkit ever disagrees with that statement.

They can actually invest in server-side detection

I’m not deep enough in the topic to be able to judge this, but i would guess the needed extra hardware is simple not worth it. especially in games with many players or complex physics i would guess that could lead to considerable load on the servers.

Plus, server side is not able to catch things the client manipulates on his side. e.g. graphical data to make walls transparent. The server could at most catch the player abusing this knowledge, but if he is smart about it, the server has no way to ever notice.

it’s possible to make a good AC without fucking around in the kernel.

What if the cheat runs in the kernel? I am also against these extremely invasive anti-cheat measures, but it must be clear to everyone that the cheat developers and users have no qualms about this.

A user level AC can do shit all against that if the cheat runs in ring 0.

I’m not a vegan. And insulting me just weakens your own position.
