  • I’m not sure to follow what an NFT would bring to the table to solve this problem. I think an AI could create a NFT just as well and pretend to be human.

    Also blockchains are usually pretty slow so minting a new NFT everytime you need to prove you are human would probably be unpractical.

    The more I think on this problem the more it looks challenging. Almost anything digital could be forged by an AI in some way.

    The only thing might be a problem only an human can reasonably solve and so it ends up like captchas. And captchas are notoriously weak to AI now.

    I’m not sure there is any easy way to identify a human from a machine. If there is a way it will almost always need the human to solve a complex problem everytime which will be very annoying.


  • Biometric data can be copied. Which is usually one of the most important flaw of this form of authentication.

    If someone (or something) steals your biometric data, you cannot change it.

    I would be much more convinced by a cryptography based solution where you can create a token on some separate hardware device and have to give a secret PIN to authorize it’s creation. Then that token would prove for a time that you are indeed a human. No AI can read your mind so I suppose that’s the safest way to prove your human… Until your PIN gets stolen by an AI somehow…

    I hope most governments around the world will provide cryptographic certificates to their citizens to help them manage their online identity.




  • I genuinely think Morphe has been the worst user experience I have ever had.

    I’m probably just unlucky or didn’t set something properly but I would say it’s very very frequent that the playback moves to random parts of the video. Like anytime anyway, the player will suddenly rewind to 10/20/30 mn before in the playback. It has been extremely infuriating. Even up to date and everything, it still does that constantly and has been for months. To the point I select videos in Morphe and then open them in pipepipe or Newpipe to properly watch them.

    Again, I’m probably doing something wrong but I truly developed a pretty deep hate for Morphe.

    I will again switch back to ReVanved and see if that works better but for me Morphe is extremely unreliable.



  • In my experience, no large business would decide to only accept encrypted inbound SMTP. So as usual with SMTP you try to handle the worst clients sending you mail with nothing security wise (no DKIM, no SPF, no TLS) and still try to filter all the spam out of it and that’s about it.

    And I acknowledge the effort from google to push the security to get better but even then nobody wants to accept to miss a few dirty emails for the sake of security.

    The stance is unfortunately to never be the one refusing emails even when they are absolutely and completely unsecured. It really sucked being an admin on that kind of systems. SMTP is one of the worst protocols I have ever seen so widely used and there is still this idea that you should accept mail even when they dont fully respect the basic security requirements Gmail has made mandatory.

    Most of the time the higher ups didn’t seem to care about the confidentiality of mails received.


  • I tried doing manually a gamescope command line arguments for Overwatch and it didn’t work.

    I activated the necessary flags and took close attention to the resolution in game and of my display, made sur the game had HDR enabled etc and it never worked.

    So if I can’t get HDR to work even with gamescope on a stable game like OW…

    But your tip to setup gamescope for the session is interesting. I might try that out sometimes.

    But honestly HDR is quite anecdotal for me. It’s not that visible. I much prefer to focus on optimizing FPS and input delay than tweaking for HDR.


  • Well I don’t know what you don’t understand either.

    These Luigi’s “exceptional tasks” are pretty explicit to me.

    The comment author is saying that we will need more Luigi Mangione to do targeted killings.

    I don’t think it’s ok to encourage people to do their own justice no matter the ideology and beliefs you have.

    it’s a lot of effort to engage with you

    Hey you choose to do so. If you don’t want to engage with a commenter, don’t.

    I’m honestly just as confused as you on why nobody calls out someone that says that we will need more Luigi’s type of assassinations to be done.

    Again, we have regularly people that are condemned by the justice system for such type of speech encouraging violence so for me it’s pretty shocking to see how casually people talk about killing people in the street.


  • Here is a quote of the original commenter I was responding to :

    and there’s definitely gonna be a need for some more Luigi’s to carry out those exceptional tasks that don’t benefit from “too many cooks”, but IMO we need the proletarian majority to *organize* and *collaborate* to overthrow the system.

    Is saying that we need more Luigi’s to carry out exceptional tasks just “organising” ?

    So this is just non-violent organization ?

    And if you are referring to the other commenter he straight up said that sometimes we need a little bit of violence to make the world better.


  • no, but you are responcible for the fact your country is still engaging in genocide today,

    Please elaborate on that.

    That will be fascinating (and humorous).

    Really, just that point. Tell me how I’m responsible. I need to know why I’m responsible of a continuing and past genocide.

    I will ignore further conversation because I know you will ridicule yourself answering just this specific point.

    Good luck.


  • I’m not responsible of my ancestors violence.

    It’s a simple concept.

    You are blaming me for the violence other commited and then point out at the other commenter that encourage people to commit murder on people he doesn’t like and now that is fine. I’m the bad guy here for being born in a country that commited atrocities in its past many generations before me. Should I blame modern Americans for the history of slavery of the country ? The whole argument is so dumb.

    A little more violence to make the world a better place?

    Sure thing. If anything can be collectively learned from our common history is that sometimes you just need a little bit more violence to make things right… What a joke.

    Violence brings… more violence. Also when people see someone dear to them getting assassinated, what do you think they will seek ? Revenge. More violence.

    I can absolutely respect any ideology as long as it respects human life. Saying people should be “luigi” because you think they are a bad human being is not ok. But again, for some people the death penalty is ok. For most countries in the world it’s a barbaric practice that should have been long gone.

    So yeah, I will always call out people when they encourage for violence and especially when they quite literally encourage assassination without even a mere trial or any opportunity to defend themselves.

    It’s so much simpler to just execute someone, nevermind if they might be innocent. And I dare you to tell me no innocent ever got the death penalty. And that was despite a ““trial””.

    But here you got an anarchist saying capitalists should be killed by others and that it is “self defence” because of their crime against climate and nobody bats a fucking eye. This is the new normal, let’s eliminate people I don’t like. And then you dare tell me that I would sit idle when the Holocaust comes ? But the way I see it, the holocaust is done and acted upon by people just like you. People that sit on the sideline and encourage others to do their violent bidding.

    If you want a revolution and to fight ideas, fight them with your own ideas. Killing a bunch of capitalists at random will not destroy the ideology. And no, a little bit more violence is not what we need to make the world a better place.


  • I never tried Garuda so I can’t help with the comparison.

    Is Garuda debian based ?

    Cachyos is the first time I touched an Arch based distro and I was very impressed by how stable and “fresh” it feels. I guess Arch deserves its good reputation.

    I have been updating my cachyos like two times each week which is a quite high update rate and the only problem I had was this :

    Steam stored his cache by default on my home partition and filled the disk completely. I then updated with pacman without noticing I had no space left and the process failed. The system wouldn’t boot which was scary. I took a bit of time to think about it and remembered that I can revert the system with BTRFS snapshot. So I checked the cachyos wiki on how to revert and in 2mn i was back to the exact state before my failed update. It broke once because of Steam and the system was very easy to fix.

    A beginners could learn to use snapshots easily in the GUI for it and I think would succeed in restoring the system. Would the same be true if a Windows didn’t boot ? Honestly I don’t think so.

    I even was able to setup in the GUI for how many snapshots I want to keep so i constantly have around 30 snaps ready to recover my system up to a month and a half ago.



  • Pros :

    • Reliable, I have nothing to fix and no unusual behaviors or settings on Cachyos. If I set something up the setting won’t change on its own.
    • Private, no telemetry. No NVIDIA service sending all the apps I launch to HQ.
    • No forced software. I can choose to remove most components I dont like and replace them.
    • Gaming works as well or better than Windows once its setup.
    • I can revert to a previous image of my system right at boot. Very reassuring to know it’s easy to revert to a previous state/version of my system.
    • More lightweight system, I use way less RAM on idle than on Windows. That’s more RAM to use for actual useful stuff like gaming.
    • it’s free. Doesn’t require an account to use.
    • it’s secure. Much less risk running a linux system than windows. You are a harder target and also a less attractive one for hackers.

    Cons :

    • I can’t play games with kernel level anticheats.
    • I sometimes have to spend 10mn when installing a new game to set it up on proton.
    • You are still expected by most people to handle their proprietary files coming from Microslop. You have to be able to sign PDF files and return office files.
    • HDR support is not really good for games and it often is difficult to have working.

    Overall, having switched 4 months ago, I have no regrets and honestly it was a great upgrade for me. Beside the money lost on a game like BF6 I’m very happy to be on linux.

    I was really annoyed by my W10 setup anyway. I constantly had settings that would change on their own. I often had bad days where you feel the system struggling even though nothing changed. It was very frustrating. Linux solved that. I dont have bad days on my system. It runs exactly as I left it when it was shutdown. And this expected stability is very comfortable for users.

    Highly recommend the switch to cachyos for all Windows gamers. And even for non-gamers it’s a very functional and reliable operating system.


  • I have nothing to do with Luxembourg.

    This is the main french Lemmy instance using a luxembourg domain.

    What a weird rant.

    Counterpoint: judicial killings are just extra-judicial killings with extra steps.

    Who the fuck are you to decide who gets to live or die ?

    I dont give a shit if you are anarchist or techno-fascist :

    You are a hateful person that is coward enough to ask other people to bloody their hands in extra judicial killings for your cause.

    You have no arguments at all against me for rejecting your violence and so you tried your bullshit about Luxembourg which makes you look even weaker.

    A judge in France would definitely condemn you for inciting violence and would be right to do so. Freedom of speech is not absolute in France and inciting other citizens to do extra judicial killings is unsurprisingly frowned upon here and therefore illegal. And just because you are an anarchist doest give you some kind of murder pass.

    So you can scream and cry or try to find other bullshit lines to attack me personally but I know you know that in siding with violent people you are part of the problem.



  • In my country, your comment would be illegal. As in against the law for encouraging violence.

    I dont care what your ideology is. I do see your wish for violence and extra-judicial killings and it disgusts me.

    So many criminals against humanity thought they were doing their massacres for a good fight, that it was necessary. You are just the same.

    I wish you could express your ideas without the need to encourage violence. I find even more pathetic that you encourage others to do the violence for you.

    PS : you can be a revolutionary without being violent.
