Would you support a European Citizens Initiative to force our politicians to drop Twitter and create their own Mastodon instances? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

A European Citizen Initiative requires a massive investment to come through (quotas of signature per country, amount of signatures, quantity of personal data signatories have to give away, etc.) while at the same time it cannot force the EU to do anything. the Commission can just decide to file it vertically (in the trash can) and they often do.

So speak about a glorified, expansive petition... and you may find modes of action that are way way more efficient.

What is the best looking retro console or PC? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

+1.

Also it can be turned into a coolest spaceship, with its CDRom attachment, a very first in 1988!

Also the HuCard format for its games is unbeatable!

That's to me part of the delight in modern experience of classic games: to go through these games you never had a chance to complete before! mostly with a few features:

  • save/load states (with accessible shortcuts on your controller) anywhere in the game, whether or not the original game had a way to save/load progress, and regardless on when/where the players were "allowed" to save. because we don't have as much time as we had when we were 12yo....
  • rewind. YES. in case you havent played a modern emulator through retroarch recently you may not even have thought it would be a thing! but it is... like in movies. you get killed in that super-hard shmup that implacably sends you back to the beginning of the level every time you die? ever found that a bit... unfair, maybe? well, just rewind, dodge that bullet and keep playing. you may not integrate this new learning as much as if you had to play it 100 times to learn it by heart and get there, but hell, again, the time thing. (also fast-forward comes handy for those JRPGs games, where you had to constantly grind with random encounters in order to level up.. think "catchin'em'all" and not having all the time in the world...)
  • arcade games frequently had unlimited "continue" (as long as you would shove money into them), while console adaptations we tried our teeth into at home -for the lucky few of us- had usually an arbitrarily set number of "continue"... (mostly -so i heard about the US at least, where there was a huge rental market for console games- to make sure kids won't finish the game in less than a day or a week-end worth of a rental... and rather be challenge to rent the game again). with arcade emulators, you have all the virtual coins that you need...

Combining those together gives anyone the occasion to just experience any of these games, from start to finish, in a relatively short period of time. a 90s arcade brawler or shmup or such goes in one sitting of usually less than one hour... anyone is free to then decide to practice them hundreds of times until they decide to stop using these features one by one and/or use them as creative constraints along the way of their own training, etc...

In short: modern emulation gaming levels the playing field (pun very much intended) when it comes to making those games accessible to everyone, especially those nail-hard ones, by giving access to a wide diversity of ways to experience them! yay! \o/

Mepo is focused on hackability and performance. It enables endless expandability through its mepolang.

Mepo just reached milestone 5 (tag 0.5) with major performance and usability improvements, including savestates from session to session.

Check it out! or even better: contribute by your user feedback, patches and such!

Pompeo sued for CIA surveillance of Assange that swept up Americans' data. (www.newsweek.com)
 

IA surveillance of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange while he was sheltering in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London included recording his conversations with American lawyers, journalists and doctors, and copying private data from visitors' phones and other devices, violating constitutional protections, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The suit – filed on behalf of four Americans who visited Assange – seeks damages personally from then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo for violating the plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. The suit also seeks damages against a Spanish security firm contracted to protect the embassy, and its CEO, alleging that they abused their position to illegally spy on visitors and passed on the surveillance data they collected to the CIA, which is also named a defendant in the suit.

Blocking Google+Amazon+Cloudflare? [asking for a friend] (lemmy.ml)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
8 comments fedilink
 

A friend of mine has a project that is accross an art project and a political statement, in the form of an experiment:

To exemplify the power of the surveillance capitalists on the very fabric of what we still call "the Internet", they want to configure a computer to block all connections going to all known services belonging to Google, Amazon and Cloudflare (and later potentially extend this to other companies).

(yes, my friend is very much aware that in practice most of the commercial web would become totally unusable. that's partly the point of the demonstration to exemplify this...)

For google, they rely on an old (long) list of domains known to belong to the multiple entities composing the behemoth... an /etc/hosts points all of them to 127.0.0.1. brutal but efficient, until new domains, subdomains etc.. appear.

How would you do it for amazon and its gigantic AWS platform? how would you do it for cloudflare? collect lists of their IPs (and update them over time)? edit firewall lists based on them that would sink all packets?

Anyone knows of any project going in that direction?

U.K. Judge OKs Extradition of Julian Assange to U.S. (www.wsws.org)

A British judge has ordered the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, where he faces a 175-year sentence. The final decision on Assange’s extradition will now be made by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel. Amnesty International’s Simon Crowther spoke outside the courthouse prior to today’s ruling.

Simon Crowther: “Julian Assange is being prosecuted for espionage for publishing sensitive material that was classified. And if he is extradited to the U.S. for this, all journalists around the world are going to have to look over their shoulder, because within their own jurisdiction, if they publish something that the U.S. considers to be classified, they will face the risk of being extradited.”

Vitalium - Standalone version of Vital (incredible free/libre spectral warping wavetable synthesizer) ()
 

Vital has a subscription-based model, giving access to proprietary presets and settings, etc.

Vitalium seems to be the free/libre code, expurged from the part connecting to Vital.audio server (anyways, users of free/libre versions are excluded from connecting to it....)

A VERY impressive piece of software synth, apparently rather recent project. super-promising!

Anyone knows about it being packaged or so?
