Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Steam Controller page updated: $99 USD, releases May 4th
5·16 hours agoYeah, it means I’m buying only one rather than multiple.
I’m hoping that a lot of more games will make use of the touchpads this time, even if only by publishing a custom mapping

6·16 hours agoNot natively, because Sony has a mandatory certification program for wireless controllers.
In theory you make it emulate a PS controller, or you can use a USB receiver like XIM MATRIX or do a ridiculous workaround like connect it using Playstation remote play. Maybe somebody will reprogram the included adapter to work with PS5.

Україна | Ukraine 🇺🇦@lemmy.ml•Russian troops liberate two communities in Ukraine operation over past day — top brass

Probably reverse proxy too if it’s really unstable

Linux@lemmy.ml•[solved] Does Linux have an equivalent to "Compress contents to save disk space" from Windows? I don't need it to save space, just please read the full post before commenting.
2·1 day agoFYI digging through documentation reminded me of squashfs. It does what it sounds like. But it’s read only, so you would have to use an overlay FS to cache changes and then overwrite the whole squashfs volume at once to sync changes.

2·1 day agoBoth are possible but read only is more common

1·1 day agoRAM drive is when you hold the entire file system in RAM, it’s used for stuff like Linux Live CD boot with no writable storage but you can use it for anything.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Apparently, you can't downvote if you have no comments/posts in your account
1·1 day agoinstance admins could reject votes from abusive instances and you could let mods see totals per instance
There’s other possibilities like using private set intersection and more to detect possible abusive patterns without sending raw data over between instances

5·2 days agoMake sure you’re actually filling the volume, and also keep in mind reporting may be different (with or without filesystem index metadata, etc)
Also, you can simply use regular file systems and compressed files, and then use a RAM drive (assuming you have enough RAM free) and access the files that way instead

143·2 days agoYes but it doesn’t have to share usernames to anything but the originating server for the vote and host server for the content. All others only need the sum.
This does still mean instance admins can do broad bans. There’s other privacy techniques if that matters like cryptographic blind signatures for voting, etc, where you can know each user only cast one vote (and can see totals per originating server) without revealing the specific users.
In theory you could also make this ban compliant (such that you can’t vote if you’re banned, but if you’re not and cast a vote you still can’t be identified).
If you do extra fancy stuff like transparency logs with anonymous credentials and secure multiparty computation (MPC) you could do it while still allowing abuse detection. Although for now that’s very complicated and compute heavy 🤷

91·4 days agoFSF has already called out OnlyOffice (just without naming them) and says GPL doesn’t allow it.
Additionally you’re not allowed to claim you’re using GPL if you add impermissible additions to the license

22·4 days agoFun fact - GNU / FSF doesn’t let you claim it’s a GPL variant if you have added claims to it. If you say it’s GPL then others gets to assume it’s GPL proper
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ModifyGPL
You can legally use the GPL terms (possibly modified) in another license provided that you call your license by another name and do not include the GPL preamble, and provided you modify the instructions-for-use at the end enough to make it clearly different in wording and not mention GNU (though the actual procedure you describe may be similar).
If you want to use our preamble in a modified license, please write to [email protected] for permission. For this purpose we would want to check the actual license requirements to see if we approve of them.
Although we will not raise legal objections to your making a modified license in this way, we hope you will think twice and not do it. Such a modified license is almost certainly incompatible with the GNU GPL, and that incompatibility blocks useful combinations of modules. The mere proliferation of different free software licenses is a burden in and of itself.
As for attribution requirements;
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/gpl-compliant-legal-notices-author-attributions
However, requirements to preserve notices could conflict with user freedom.
Please note that “copyright notice” is a notice that contains: the word copyright (or the © symbol), the year of first publication of the work, and the name of the copyright holder. Any other information is not part of a copyright notice
In summary, people who modify programs released under the GNU GPLs can still change where and how an interactive program displays those notices. For example, if the original program put these notices at the bottom of every page, someone modifying the software could conceivably remove those and have them appear only on a single “About this software” page.
Apart from some specific situations, logos are neither “legal notices” nor “author attributions” as normally understood.
Putting trademarked links or logos in the program’s interface and explicitly declining a trademark license thus gives the trademark holder a way to stop uses harmful to their reputation, balanced by the users’ option to remove the trademarks in order to distribute modifications freely

You know that didn’t happen and you know Putin would’ve always attacked regardless because HE wanted Ukraine to become a meatgrinder, no innocent Ukrainians could’ve been saved by anything but executing Putin
