The general public is ignorant and has the lack of interest in their privacy or in general in the internet. They just want to know whats the weather or funny cat videos.

The companies make their software so bloated because they want to sell you the "ad free"/deluxe experience for extra money.

They dont have the morales of you buy it you own it. See the gaming industry, the movie industry even the car industry all subscriptions, ads, data hoarding and telemetry all of what it is not necessary for any industry, if they did a good job and a good product. But as they just make a "warranty" hopping hardware/software, that just gets you over the warranty/refund period and then spontaneous dies because of some electronic that was especially not there just to destroy the product after x years. See "The Crew" from ubisoft, users "bought" the game after few years a sequel came out and ubisoft just did most terrible thing you could do and just unplugged "The Crew" and made it unplayable, and even had the audacity to remove evidence by removing them from players playstation libraries and no refund possible.

They deliberately made that game a online only game (even this could and should have run perfectly offline) and then kill it after few years to force users to play newer games. Imagine this in the N64 era, the publishers would have gotten sued and defamed for this crap they would have done.

Then they ask themselves why is piracy back and even stronger than before, they just need to open their eyes and do their job.

In short: Dont be afraid to live in a futuristic dystopia, we are living in one already.

About https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui/issues/7 Would it be ok if i try the playlist integration or do you want to do your things first?

Works pretty good but basic error handling is missing. I made a issue and a PR for it already. My first try at streamlit.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah please do that.

Because if its gold then it says A LOT of people have no issues ( small issues ). Many people recommend to use GEProton.

The ram is not common, it is not recommended and could lead to crashes or incompatibilities.

  1. The sizes
  2. The different clock speeds

Best try to use 1 stick ( 16 GiB )

I never seen that weirdest ram configuration ever. Its probably cursed. I never had any game that did not play at all, either i had to change some minor settings but it worked good. ( I am on Linux Mint Cinamon too )

I would guess the memory just freaks out some games that use more than 8gb ?

protondb is showing you if it is compatible with linux. If it isnt working on yours BUT it shows Gold or platinum on protondb its a YOU issue.

Oh wow a monopoly is practicing anti competitive advertising. What a shock 😱

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But you can already see the hurdles of large instance like lemmy.world.

The costs are so immense (probably because of some unoptimized code), the software isnt "ripe" enough that it can be left alone for few months and have it run smoothly. It needs permanent monitoring and maintenance. And that doesnt even go into the moderation issues.

Sadly thats fediverse, instance come and go as they like. Because behind them are humans that do this in their freetime ( most of the time out of their own pocket ). Big respect to everyone hosting a federated instance.

Hello World, As many of you have probably noticed, there is a growing problem on the internet when it comes to undisclosed bias in both amateur and professional reporting. While not every outlet can be like the C-SPAN, or Reuters, we also believe that it's impossible to remove the human element from the news, especially when it concerns, well, humans.

To this end, we've created a media bias bot, which we hope will keep everyone informed about WHO, not just the WHAT of posted articles. This bot uses Media Bias/Fact Check to add a simple reply to show bias. We feel this is especially important with the US Election coming up. The bot will also provide links to Ground.News, as well, which we feel is a great source to determine the WHOLE coverage of a given article and/or topic.

As always feedback is welcome, as this is a active project which we really hope will benefit the community.

Thanks!

We've launced a public discord server at https://discord.gg/lemmyworld

The reason for why we choose discord is because it was easier to moderate and manage than other options. Besides we also had a discord-bot guru by the name of Rooki who created a neat bot that allowed us to connect/verify discord users to their Lemmy World account.

So if you are a moderator and you are looking for some extra hands to moderate your community, or if you need to contact anyone from the LW team, this is the most efficient way to do it!

Come have a look!

Lemmy Bot Best (Coding) Practices

Because of the increasing amount of Bots on lemmy and there is not (yet) a written Best (Coding) Practices post i want to make such Guideline.

The bot is required to follow the instances rules.

Guidelines

General Guidelines

1. Bots should stagger their calls to different endpoints to reduce the strain on the serverFor example, instead of calling all three endpoints (Posts, Comments, and Reports) every 30 seconds, you could call Posts every 30 seconds, Comments every 35 seconds, and Reports every 45 seconds. This would spread out the load on the server and prevent it from becoming overloaded.

2. Bots should only fetch data that they really need.For example, a spell-checking bot does not need to fetch reports. This will help to reduce the amount of data that your bot needs to store, which will improve performance.

3. Bots should use a cache to store data that is required more often than 30 seconds.This will improve performance and the strain to the server by reducing the number of times that your bot needs to fetch the data from the server.

4. Bots should remove unused data from their database on a regular basis.This will free up space and improve performance.

5. Bots should be crash-safe, meaning that they should be able to recover from unexpected errors.This can be done by using error handling techniques and by storing important data in a way that can be easily recovered and use a Backoff system to increase the retry time until it reaches a limit to stop completly.

6. Bots should add a delay to API-heavy commands and actions.This will help to prevent the server from becoming overloaded.

7. Bots should not connect to multiple instances at a time.This can cause conflicts and errors.

8. Bots should secure their servers.This includes using strong passwords and keeping their software up to date.

9. If you are unsure if your bot is working properly, you should contact your local instanceadmin. They can help you to troubleshoot any problems.
10. Bots should ignore other bots for commands or DMs.This helps to prevent loops.
11. Bots should only fetch the communities that they should interact with.This helps to reduce load on the server.
12. Global bots should be opt-in or have an opt-out feature.This gives users control over whether or not they want to interact with your bot.
13. Bots should have the Bot flag activated AND include the word "bot" or other bot-related words in their name.This helps users to identify your bot and understand its purpose.
