  • Just the heads up, that cpu is ancient. Its performance is comparable to an Rpi 4, but that old cpu consumes 30W+ while a full rpi maxes around 6-7 W. Rpi 5 is around 4-5 times more powerful with third power.

    So it’s good if you just tinkering with old hardware for fun, but you can buy far more powerful modern hardware for only several dollars if you look at the second hand market.

    Also I remember, I dealt with Toshibas from that era, they were quite locked down, e.g. you couldn’t install upstream nvidia drivers on them only the outdated ones signed by Toshiba. So it’s not unexpected that some options like that are missing in bios settings.






  • I guess OP used some share button in an Urban Dictionary app?

    This is the shared link:

    http://gack-blowing.urbanup.com/1126343
    

    How someone can get a plain http link at all is interesting nowadays. That’s why I think it’s not directly copied from a browser but via a misconfigured share button or something

    The link responds an HTTP 302 and redirects to:

    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gack blowing&defid=1126343
    

    And I guess this may be the reason it opens in your system browser, HTTP 302 is a strange response:

    Many web browsers implemented this code in a manner that violated this standard, changing the request type of the new request to GET, regardless of the type employed in the original request (e.g. POST). For this reason, HTTP/1.1 (RFC 2616) added the new status codes 303 and 307 to disambiguate between the two behaviours, with 303 mandating the change of request type to GET, and 307 preserving the request type as originally sent. Despite the greater clarity provided by this disambiguation, the 302 code is still employed in web frameworks to preserve compatibility with browsers that do not implement the HTTP/1.1 specification.

    What Lemmy client and OS do you use? Maybe it can’t handle this HTTP 302 redirect.






  • Wtf man, developers are also people. Most of them doing this for free in their free time. You are the kind of entitled user who makes foss devs burn out. Never thought I will find one in the wild.

    I use krita frequently and never met your bug so it’s not as recreatable or important as you think.

    Noone forces you to use krita. If it doesn’t fit your workflow or if you think developers are deliberately sabotaging your work, you can switch to another free or paid alternative. If you would switch to a paid one, you could speak to a manager.

    In op’s case I’m not sure it’s a you problem. In your case I’m sure it is.






  • Remuxing or resizing a video is also a violation? Because yt does that to all videos. A 4k nature movie looks different in 360p. From a technological point of view the 2 process (ai sharpening and changing to a resolution where new pixels have to be calculated via some filter) is not that different, an algorithm modifies the picture and calculates new pixels. Would you ban upscaling in televisions, because they violate the authentic connection between the the artist and the audiance? Hell, colorized photographs destroy the remaining privacy of photographers who died years ago.

    The point is you rarely see a video as it was created by someone, so your generalization is not applicable to this case. And it’s still not about privacy, you just redifined the meaning of copyright and some kind of indentity theft. Which shouldn’t happen, but still a different topic.
