Would it? I would assume a “confirmed human” Fedi account could be worth $5-20. If you live close enough to the library, it’s like 5 mins to pop in, drop off the piece of paper and go about your day. Double if you can sneak in two pieces of paper.

What’s stopping someone making a new account every month this way or going to many different libraries and then just selling the account to bot farm operators?

… I don’t have any trust that the US government will do anything pro-lgbt, pro-freedom-of-expression or pro-women.

If adult content moves to crypto, won’t that result in Collective Shout and friends targeting the big crypto marketplaces?

How does the library confirm that the account name is connected to an actual person?

… Which will result in prices for games fluctuating wildly, and their entire storefront having to tell people how to by crypto from shady places.

Stuff like FedNOW and Wero are a better solution which bypass payment processors entirely.

Wine/Proton isn’t designed to be a sandbox. A motivated enough attacker could make an exploit that checks if it’s running in wine and do some wine specific stuff.

Even if you do manage to sandbox it from your root filesystem, it still needs access to your Steam account, which an attacker could compromise.

Because people have conversations and then clickbait youtubers overexaggerate it.

Main.

Don’t get me wrong, the whole debate is Microsoft just being performative (why not use your vast wealth to actually help people?). But honestly, putting the debate aside, “main” is just a clearer and more intuitive name.

Realistically, probably not much for people outside of the tech industry. People will use the best tool for the job, and whether it’s foss or not won’t matter.

Mint. It just works and Cinnamon is a good DE (ui design peaked in the Windows XP days). Plus you also get all the software built and tested for Ubuntu without the bullshit of using Ubuntu.

For my server I use NixOS, because having one unified configuration is so nice.

It’ll still slow them down and reduce load on your server. I also think many of these crawlers focus on volume; time spent computing the hash is time not spent crawling someone else’s site.

Most registrars have some form of whois protection now, so the only people who can easily see it are the registars themselves (and the government that controls them).

Assuming you’re paying for a domain using real money, they’ll need your information on file as part of the online payment anyway, so using a fake id doesn’t really hide anything from them.

I’ve seen people suggesting and using Anubis, haven’t used it myself though.

People who have a favourite pencil.

If it stays up, it’s certainly going to be interesting seeing the difference in view counts between it and his other videos.

Probably a Steam deck; I’ve used mine to play Gamecube games and it’s worked fine.

Had a quick look through your website and something jumped out at me (about the enterprise edition, I assume that the community edition doesn’t have this clause):

There is not a hard limit for activations per license as we understand the need to run XPipe on many machines per user. There is instead a soft activation/usage limit that is tracked for the license key and uses common usage patterns as a reference.

I may be missing something obvious (it’s a hobby of mine), but I can’t seem to find anywhere what exactly these soft limits are.

Don’t know if it has games you’re interested in, but I’ve been using r2modman and it’s worked pretty well. Even for games run through Proton.

So I got curious about this, and had a look into it.

Firstly, the entire conversation was scrubbed from the chat, and it was done so before the lemmy.ml callout post was discovered/made. So claiming that they’re “okay with it” is a bit of a stretch.

The entire discussion seemed to have spawned from this article: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2025/06/23/h3h3-ethan-klein-sues-three-reaction-streamers/ . I don’t know or care enough to say who is right or wrong, but here you go in case anyone wants to look into it.

Apparently, according to a quick search, Asmongold did make some choice comments about Palestine.

What I assumed happened is that people were talking about the lawsuit and someone offhandedly mentioned Asmongold. Then GlacialTurtle decided to go on a long rant about genocide and then was told to cool it. Because obviously anyone that doesn’t want to talk about genocide in a server about Linux software is in fact tactily supporting genocide, Turtle doubled down and ended up getting banned. Then they went to their next platform to complain about it, Lemmy, and now here we are two degrees removed from the discussion with no actual receipts.

Somewhat fittingly, earlier yesterday, they were talking about the tragic death/murder of Mikayla Raines.
