Buy European@feddit.uk•What are your recent buy european wins?English
3·2 months agoSubscribed to inlinestyle.it and have been able to actually use on a daily basis a good 40/50% of the services included in the subscription. Primarily email, personal website, photos, docs and notes. But I also enjoy some PeerTube channels there from time to time.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Do you prefer bare bones software that you customize with plugins, or an all-in-one solution that does everything you need out of the box?English
2·2 months agoMultiple separate software vertically tuned to work perfectly out of the box for the single thing they are meant to do 🤣

Linux@programming.dev•Free Up Disk Space by Removing Old Snap Versions - OMG! UbuntuEnglish
20·4 months agoAgreed I practically switched from Ubuntu to Fedora only because of Snap, especially because the subtle attempt at installing snaps when you intended to install .Deb packages via apt-get

Linux@programming.dev•Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance]English
13·4 months agoNot sure that’s a good thing.
It’s my own system and I’m root of it, if I want to run a program that inspects every bit of thing, including keylog myself I should be perfectly able to do it.
This kind of limitations are fake security, because Wayland is as secure as the rest of the stack it lies on top, it can’t add any more security than what Linux itself can guarantee. So yes, I can still read dev input and keylog myself anyway, it’s just more frustrating.
I have been using OSX since it was born because it was an amazing UNIX system and a convenient user environment. I moved back to Linux as my daily driven when they started introducing a tons of blockers to whatever I wanted to do “for security reasons”. “Oh you want to debug your own software?” “Nah, I can’t allow you to trace state of another process, I don’t care you are root” and so on…
“usage out of all open source social media platforms”
Does that surprise you? Have you considered the different effort it takes between posting a message on Mastodon, taking a picture on Pixelfed or starting a thread on Lemmy/Piefed?
Making a video takes much more effort, sometimes hours. It’s only natural that the ratio of produced contented is not comparable to other “OpenSource social media platforms”

Games@lemmy.world•Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpasEnglish
50·7 months agoUbisoft has practically only produced confusing Open World games of the same IPs for the past decade. My definition of risk and innovation is slightly different 😅
And that’s just because Open World games are easy to mass produce. You just change assets and few minor things and reuse more or less the whole game



I have started by importing my photos from 2020 onward and those consumed 3Gb, but I tend to curate my library so I don’t have duplicates etc. And I don’t record videos, but only photos. My whole collection of photos on Google Photos was 11GB before I stopped using it.
I think you can get more space with invite codes etc when you invite friends, but I never tried using them
