Project 2025 wants to send you to prison for watching porn. Laws requiring ID to access NSFW sites have already made porn hard to access in many states. Your browser is next ๐Ÿ‘€ in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

How about you stop assuming everyone on the internet lives in the USA?

I imagine a kid who's smart enough to use a vpn, downloading a bunch of videos, and then selling usb drives to their friends at school, or sharing them via gdrive

Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
[โ€“] Rez@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it's really good! I do think that it can become a bit repetitive towards the end, but it's worth it for the beginning moments of exploration and discovery. If you haven't played a similar game like Morrowind before, I'd recommend looking for a guide that would explain character creation and skills. I never played the original, so I am no purist and would encourage you to check out some QoL mods and definitely turn on smaller dungeons in the settings, even for a first playtrough. Have fun, if you decide to try it!

It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

I bought The Farmer Was Replaced yestarday, so I'll probably be finishing it over the weekend. It's a cute programming incremental game, but if you have 0 experience with writing code the later challenges might get too difficult

What is your favourite game with native Linux port? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] Rez@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 months ago

I was going to say Factorio as well! :D Hollow Knight has a native port and is a fantastic game, but my favorite games are ones like OpenMW or DevilutionX where the entire engine is remade from the ground up and open-source

Yeah, we have this unwritten rule in my friend group to never send links to any videos no matter where they're from. You download the video and send the file

Help updating to Fedora 40 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello, I've installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it.

I got a system update through Discover when 39 came out, I updated it restarted, and I didn't think much of it. Now that Fedora 40 came out, I did the same thing, but this time, after the update, I checked the system information in the settings, and it says that I am still running Fedora 38!

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 (ugh, but I need it for work) and I noticed that in grub the option to boot Fedora also says 38. There are also some recovery boot options.

I'm confused and don't know what to do to update to 40? Would really like to avoid doing a fresh install.

I'd say I'm a novice Linux user, but this is the first time in dealing with something like this, so sorry if I missed some crucial information, will provide anything needed to help fix this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Is NextDNS really a good privacy tool? I use it myself because it's convenient, but I always assumed that they would collect data about me since it's a free service

Degoogling - can someone ELI5 how certain apps work on Graphene OS? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

They've recently expanded the list by a lot. I was able to find every extension that I use on desktop

How private am I? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for a person like me that wouldn't sacrifice too much convenience?
