I wouldn't need to be wholly convinced that there's anything heinous going on over there, just that the person accusing them of it had good reason to think so. So pretty much anything more than no info at all would probably have done the trick. Anyway, thanks for putting up with me for a little while and good luck to everyone at lemmy.ml, but I'm outta here. I'll probably go try kbin or something.

It was added to the "exclude" list in an apparently unrelated commit three days ago with absolutely no explanation. Glancing at its front page I see nothing objectionable, just a lot of anime stuff. When challenged u/dessalines had nothing to say other than "no, that is full of CSAM" and just closed the discussion without further comment.
Unless some more info comes to light it does not look good. Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.
I used it once, as a last resort when I wanted to try some program that had a ridiculous set of build dependencies that was just too much. It was okay, I guess.
This is the best summary I could come up with: It's "members of Congress, conservative activists and wealthy tech investors."

Unless you're doing something unusual, it's probably because you're browsing youtube without being logged in.
If everyone on the fediverse goes to google.com right now and searches for "best new iphone car insurance shopping aarp member bad credit" maybe we can save the economy.
Who are all these extremist wackos who don't already want to abolish capitalism?
Amazing how Johnson's government managed to combine this callous indifference to the fates of its people with one of the most cruel and restrictive "lockdown" regimes in the world, arresting people for going out to walk their dogs and so on. Boris really had a talent for ineptitude that was exceptional even among prime ministers.
More evidence that all political leaders need someone whose job it is to sneak up on them and whisper "remember, you too will die" whenever they seem in danger of forgetting it.
When I played it the answer was to run "SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" instead of whatever stupid launcher it tries to load by default.
If you really want it right now, many guides for how to compile linux kernels are available. Here's one.
You might think that things have changed over the years, but I was around in 1995 and I can assure you this looked exactly as ridiculous then as it does now.
AI that is used to monitor cameras and identify our faces to track everywhere everyone goes: Why would that concern you? Do you have something to hide, citizen?
AI that might be used to generate agitprop, competing with conventional advertising: HOLY SHIT we need a new international treaty right away!
What's the difference? They both speak Swahili, right?
I have two reactions: 1. The headline is rather silly. 2. There's no way this little script, although it might conceivably be useful to someone, needs to be a youtube video.
Well okay, since it's up to me: Let's have free software. Fully free Linux on every phone, including all "firmware" which has gotten awfully soft lately. No more proprietary driver blobs for ethernet controllers or cellular modems. No more proprietary DRM modules. No more "smart" consumer goods that come without source code. The free software revolution has gone pretty well in some respects, but we need to finish the job and put an end to all that garbage.

XFCE works for me, but I've heard that LXDE is pretty good too.
It's a bank! It's a dating app! It's a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!
I wonder how disastrously bad things will need to get before it finally breaks through into public consciousness that maybe putting surveillance cameras everywhere was a bad idea. I expect we'll find out in a couple of decades.
Mozilla seems to be asleep at the wheel, when it once drove online activity and communications. We have some suggestions where it could go.
My 100 favourite Skyrim mods part 2: A Better Magelight
I like small mods that make a big difference. It's simply a better Magelight that comes in various colours. If you've got lighting mods that make dark places really dark, it's all the more useful. I like the red one, since it looks okay and a backyard astronomer long ago told me that red is the colour to use to avoid spoiling your night vision.
It may require a bug fix or two if you want to put down large numbers of lights everywhere, such as along the roads as you travel at night in the fog at new moon. I think it was possibly the Community Shaders "light limit fix" which made that work for me.
But even without that, it's nice to be able to stick a few long-lasting colourful lights on the ceiling in the course of a dungeon crawl to light up a big area when your cover is blown and you want to see what's going on, and to mark where you've been. Or depending on other lighting settings, just make it possible to see who you're talking to in the Ragged Flagon. It changed Magelight f
www.lexology.com Court Grants Preliminary Injunction Of California Age Appropriate Design Code, Enforcement Date Now Uncertain
On September 18, 2023, the Northern District of California granted a preliminary injunction in the case of NetChoice v. Bonta (Case No.:…
California's attempt to force "age verification" on us all is having legal problems.
"Based on the materials before the Court, the CAADCA’s age estimation provision appears not only unlikely to materially alleviate the harm of insufficient data and privacy protections for children, but actually likely to exacerbate the problem by inducing covered businesses to require consumers, including children, to divulge additional personal information."
I would just like to express my love for the Fabled Forests mod
I've installed a dozen more mods and am starting out in Skyrim once again. I can't remember any other one that's made a bigger difference than this. Finally my personal version of Skyrim has forests that feel like real forests, where you can't see all that far a lot of the time and it'd be easy to get lost if you didn't have a compass.
Sure, that is achieved by making the trees fantastically big and closer together than you'd expect for such giants, but it makes sense to me and it looks great from ground level when you're in the woods. There's obviously less gravity on Nirn judging from how high I can jump carrying a 200kg backpack, so why shouldn't the trees grow bigger? The only problem I've seen so far is that wild animals occasionally have trouble navigating, such as an elk that just ran headfirst into a tree instead of going anywhere. But they do that kind of thing sometimes in pure vanilla Skyrim as well.
It's just beautiful. I prefer "mythic" mode. It's what I always
They might do a remake so it's time to buy Oblivion on PC in case it becomes unavailable
I never did get any of the DLC when I played it on the PS3. Finally I will get to experience the horse armor.
