Not modding a Bethesda game is a mistake though.

They're notorious for publishing half assed games with great potential, but tend to be fairly open to the modding community patching things up and enhancing the experience.

If you ever would consider replaying it,
look into TheMidnightRide,
which is a great quality of life modpack for Fallout 4: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/

Vibe Coding: To generate AI slop code without understanding, nor manually reviewing/altering said generated slop.

It literally means, produce low-quality work.

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.

Vanilla Invidious currently doesn't work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.

Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here's the source code if you're interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious

I've got big respect for Fijxu,
he's been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.

If you can please consider:

All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he's mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.

Up till now I've been using only OpenVPN connections.
Which can be integrated nicely in NetworkManager to connect + disconnect from them, through NetworkManager's UI.

However since recently I also need to use Netbird for some connections.

Is it possible to add Netbird as an entry in NetworkManager, for easy connection + disconnection?
If so, how would one go about setting that up?

Or is adding Netbird in NetworkManager not possible,
and is the Netbird CLI/GUI really the only option?

Edit:
It's not possible yet.
First Netbird needs to add Wireguard config support,
see: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2504

There's 2 parts to this:

  • Android Auto app (on your phone)
  • Android Auto Head Unit software (in your car)

Both of which are currently proprietary,
and would need to be written as FOSS from the ground up by reverse engineering the above 2, which would be a huge undertaking.

Also flashing custom Head Unit software to your car will be very hard, is not well documented, and likely will void your warranty, giving low incentive for developers to even attempt it :/

The best you can do right now is aa4mg (Android Auto 4 MicroG),
which at least allows to replace the proprietary Google Play services with a privacy respecting FOSS alternative and Android Auto's dependencies with empty stub packages:

Full disclosure,
I helped with writing aa4mg :)

I've absolutely grown to hate everything AI/LLM related.

It's sole marginal benefit is to senior devs,
with generating some boiler plate code,
which you usually still need to adjust.

For the rest it's been a waste of:

  • Time during development, with wrong answers.
  • Time during reviews, with garbage generated PRs from junior devs.
  • Energy, contributing to global warming.

But lately M$ has been intrusively shoving Copilot down our throats on Github, which I'm quite unhappy with.

So if any of you have some uBlock Origin filters,
or any other ideas on how I can block this Copilot slop out,
please do enlighten me!

Edit: Did some searching of my own.

Go to: https://github.com/settings/copilot
Block + disable everything you can under there.

Then go to uBlock Origin => Open the Dashboard => My Filters => Add:

github.com##.copilotPreview__container
github.com##.AppHeader-CopilotChat
github.com##li.ActionListItem:has-text(Copilot)
github.com##li.ActionList-sectionDivider:has-text(Copilot)

It's not perfect, but at least it's a start of getting rid of the unwanted content.

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.

I logged in today and was greeted with this advertisement in my notifications.

Seriously Manjaro team,
I've been happily using your OS for the past few years,
but if you jump on the enshittification train and start with pumping out advertisements in my OS,
then it won't be long before I hop to Arch...

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it's a general "contact your government",
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

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!

My "nExT gEn" update experience:

  1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
  2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
  3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
  4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
  5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

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?

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

Nintendo,
reinventing themselves as a law-suite company

I hate that nowadays everything comes with pre-installed spyware and that they charge you for it makes it even worse..

  • Want a TV? Suck on our Android TV with Google spyware embedded
  • Want a phone? Get our Android with Google spyware, or go for an Apple with Apple spyware
  • Want a computer? We'll shove Windows spyware down your throat

Ffs I just want devices that I own to not spy on me, and I can't even buy them anymore..

Each of them require flashing a custom privacy respecting OS onto it,
and that's a real problem..

Nice try CloudFlare,
but I'm still picking Quad9 any day over you:

If Nintendo would invest the money they pump in DMCA takedowns and lawyers in their games instead,
then perhaps they would have a chance to make something equally good as Palworld.
