I don’t bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.

One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It’s worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Wezterm. Featureful like kitty but supports bitmap fonts.

Great post. It seems like a lot of people aren’t used to using the product of community efforts over commercial efforts and their expectations and feeling of entitlement match that experience. Like they’ve bought a product and want to complain to the manager when they experience a problem.

They only thought they moved away from RSS feeds. A whole bunch of the internet is built on Wordpress which publishes an RSS feed by default at website.url/rss or website.url/feed. Which means a shitload of sites are running feeds even if they don’t advertise it (or realize it).

[edit] That time he put his finger on the scale in the Ukraine/Russia war on the side of Russia, too.

I can’t speak to that, but a lot of the information the article says they are looking for they couldn’t find via reddit. They’d have to compel Mr. S personally to get a lot of this stuff:

1. All written communications with RCN concerning piracy from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.

2. Payment records to RCN from Oct. 1, 2017 to present.

3. All personal computing records pertaining to usage of BitTorrent from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.

4. All social media account usernames used including for Reddit, Twitter and Facebook January 1, 2016 to present.

5. All Reddit posts and messages from Jan. 1, 2016 to the present

6. Records of all movie piracy websites (including but not limited to YTS, 1337x, RARBG, Torrent Galaxy, The PirateBay) that were used at your Internet service.

If they are loading the drive up with media for archival purposes how much overwriting are they going to be doing, anyways? Theoretically the drive should last a very long time for that purpose.

Not these ones specifically but that’s why I said, “these issues.” The way they run their app store and their stance on sideloading is all coming from the same anti-competitive strategy.

I hear you but Apple’s stance on these issues also stops something like an F-droid Iphone equivalent.

When I signed up and they asked me how I heard about them I said a Lemmy post so I’m going to go ahead and take 100% credit for this.

But seriously, that’s pretty cool.

If you ever felt like your truck didn’t look and drive enough like a prep counter, Elon Musk has got your back.

The Canadian law in question has specific provisions in it that would pass any lemmy instance by.

— Companies impacted by the Online News Act must have global annual revenue of $1 billion or more, “operate in a search engine or social-media market distributing and providing access to news content in Canada,” and have 20 million or more Canadian average monthly unique visitors or average monthly active users.

That’s literally half the country, by the way.

There was never any chance this law was going to impact any lemmy instances.

Back in 1999 I came across a copy of this book. Not a great book, I wouldn’t recommend it even if it weren’t decades out of date at this point. But it came with a CD-ROM with Red Hat Linux 6.2 which I installed on the family computer and never really looked back. I haven’t had a Windows install since 2004ish.

I’ve never really been an evangelist about it, though. And I would say that I was obsessed at one point but that’s waned quite a bit in the last few years. I’m still Linux only but messing about with computers generally quite a lot less.

Similar experience. My current install is not as old due to hardware failure but I’ve been using arch since 2007ish and it’s been stable enough through all that concurrent with sort of losing interest in being an admin for a hobby in the last few years that I’ve honestly got kind of bad at administrating the thing, haha. But it hardly matters because issues are rare.

It seems like the growth of trucks should play a big part of it, too. When I was young the majority of vehicles on the road were cars. Where I’m at, at least, it seems like the majority of people are driving trucks with a large minority of crossovers, and the occasional 10 year old car.

Same. I’m wondering if it’s limited to certain markets for the time being.
