Well guess you really want some,
fine you can have that one.
Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

Hi OP, I do the same thing during winters.
For XMR,
you can increase the profits a bit with XmrVsBeast + Gupaxx
It’s on F-Droid,
but you’ve gotta add their repo:
That link can also be found on their Gitlab:
I lately have a saying:
“If it’s not FOSS, it’s not worth your time”
Perhaps Monero bounties has something?
https://bounties.monero.social/
You can get paid in XMR for helping the community build tools that help the ecosystem.
And by continuing to use it,
it will stay that way.
Just don’t, plenty of other 2nd hand sites out there, with plenty of products available.
OP I appreciate the reasoning.
But I’d advise against it,
and would recommend users to delete their Facebook account asap.
Why? 4-5 years ago I already noticed the “illusion of free speech” on Facebook.
The platform is a data farm,
but I’m a data privacy advocate,
so I regularly posted data privacy articles/tools.
Which went against the best interest of Facebook, so they simply held back that content from nearly everyone’s feed, resulting in it getting nearly zero attention.
But if I posted a dumb meme,
it would get a lot of attention.
I’ve asked around to friends back in the day who where scrolling online if they saw my data privacy posts, none did.
So staying on the platform to advertise things that go against Facebooks best interest, will likely not yield good results.
However deleting your account,
is a great conversation starter that can easily be directed into WOM (Word of Mouth) marketing, to teach your friends and family about Fediverse tools.
That’s nice and all,
but when will they tackle loot boxes?
That shit has pushed plenty of minors into gambling addictions, but they don’t crack down on it, since they get a sweet cut of it all.
Valve in general isn’t the worst company,
but they’re far from innocent as well.
Yes Fediverse software can challenge the tech giants,
but we can and must expect them to fight against it as soon as it gets on their radar!
They’ll likely will attempt to do so by:
We should already try to harness ourselves against the direct attacks.
And help with spreading Fediverse software through WOM (Word-Of-Mouth) marketing,
since the tech giants certainly will not help it spread themselves.
The Fediverse is one of the few sparks of hope I have remaining lately,
let us ignite these sparks together into something bright!
If the fines regarding to it are in proportion with the revenue of the business, then it likely would make a lot of them think twice about doing so.
I agree that it’s hard to enforce the rules,
and that some would still ignore them.
However updating the rules give the abused people a chance of getting justice/consolidation for their stolen work, and diminishes the chance of companies breaking the rules.
It would not combat bit torrent (P2P) piracy.
But that’s also not that important imo.
Most pirates are rather poor folks,
just trying to watch/play some content which they can’t afford, they make up for a rather neglible amount of the profit that can be had.
However it would combat billion dollar companies that would use pirated content to train LLMs to sell further. All they need is x1 internal whistleblower about doing so, and they could be fined with an amount larger then the risk is worth.
No copyright law seems dangerous to me,
why create content if you can just steal it,
and earn on the back of the original creator without consequences?
I think I’d rather see it updated instead.
E.g. To hold AI companies and users accountable.
So they need explicit approval of copyright holders before they’re allowed to train upon / use their data.
Ahhh sad to hear, but thanks for your reply,
now I know that I can stop searching,
and start hoping for quick implementation of Wireguard config support for Netbird :)
Thanks for your suggestion, but after going through the Github issues,
I’m afraid that it’s not possible yet to connect to Netbird using a Wireguard config file:
Oh did not know that, sad to hear.
They did remove traffic to the old Yuzu domains though, which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.
Do you have other suggestions for promising successor forks?
Suyu, it’s the continuation/fork of Yuzu:

Also Azahar, the continuation/fork of Citra:

Been using VSCodium for a few years now, for loose file editing,
no complaints about it, imo it’s what VSCode should be.

This is actually quite good news!
Hear me out though.
Encryption has been under attack by government instances for a while now.
They always aim to weaken / backdoor it,
so that they can spy on all their citizens.
China abused the backdoor implemented by the US government,
which sends a message across the world,
being: “Do not backdoor encryption to spy on your citizens, or other countries might abuse it”
Hopefully this will put a stop to governments attacking encryption, at least for a while,
since now they’re reminded of the risks which it brings! :)
That’s true,
but hey, filtering and blocking out 90% of the unwanted/negative content is already way better then getting blasted by the full 100%! :D
