I posted a guide last year on how to do it on Eternity for Lemmy:

How to improve your Lemmy experience in c/[email protected]

That's true,
but hey, filtering and blocking out 90% of the unwanted/negative content is already way better then getting blasted by the full 100%! :D

Bliss for mental health indeed,
been doing this for a while now,
zero regrets.

Yo, I found this for 380$ should I buy it and how well does Linux run on it, if you have one of this is it a good in term of build quality in c/[email protected]

I have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month,
quite happy about it so far.

My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.

However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.

It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.

The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it's an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.

I'm sick and tied of cameras in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I feel the same,
to battle it I drive with my sun visors down,
all the time, even when it's dark.

I never voted for these camera's,
and driving with them down is not illegal,
but they successfully block the sight of most camera's.

Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 109 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (8 children)

I like the electric part.

What I don't like is that it's a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability.

Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.

Unsure,
however it's refreshing to see posts of this clown which actually make me smile instead of concerned.

Bleeding edge gaming distros with driver managers? in c/[email protected]

Go see for yourself,
don't knock it till you tried it.

Manjaro,
benefits of Arch,
while being gamer ready,
easier to use and more stable.

It also has a GUI to manage your graphics drivers.

[Release] Belfius Root (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/18470641

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

Forgejo or Radicle - Which do you prefer? (github.com)
 

Just finished writing out a lengthy comment,
with the up/downsides I can see
on each of the code forges I currently deem promising,
on the Github Discussion "Alternatives to GitHub"

And I was wondering, out of following 2,
which code forge would you guys prefer and why?

Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12733354

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

PSMD in Citra looking neat! (discuss.tchncs.de)

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon,
through Citra Canary v2798 with:

And I gotta say,
I'm happily impressed by how good it looks!
Apart from the low resolution font/texts,
I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

Edit:
I disabled the High Resolution Textures,
because they cause:

  • Random game freezes in connection orb screens
  • Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
  • Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

[Guide] Improve your Lemmy feed! (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all 👋

Here with a small guide for the Eternity app for Lemmy,
on how to setup your own custom filters,
so you can weed out unwanted content 🙂

Motivation:
I was getting sick of my feed being bombarded with war related content..
So in this guide, that's what we'll be filtering out.

Guide:
=> Open Eternity app
=> Tap Hamburger menu icon (Top left)
=> Tap Settings
=> Tap Post Filter
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Fill in: Post Filter Name = No War
=> Fill in: Title: Exclude Keywords =
Gaza,Hamas,Israel,Palestine,Pakistan,Ukraine,Russia
=> Tap Save icon (Top right)
=> Tap new No War filter
=> Tap Apply To
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Tap Subscribed
=> Tap Plus icon (Bottom right)
=> Tap Search
=> Tap Back Arrow (Top left)
=> Close / re-open Eternity app

This was just an example,
adjust as desired + can create filters for whatever you (don't) want 😉
