The only archive of it was made one day before a satire article writing about it was made, and there are no traces of the website from before that anywhere online. Mods took down the previous thread on this.

It was some writer wanting to get attention who spread it.

Edit: context on why it’s fake: https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

There’s also a lot of satire on the original website that posted the article

Played this back when I was on Xbox, good time killer I was mixing this up with Dungeon of the Endless, this game looks pretty cool though

For the last part of the post about restricting Lemmy because lobbyists/investors don’t like that it can’t be controlled, things like that can actually be protected against happening with Net Neutrality. Which in the US they’re trying to bring back finally https://www.fcc.gov/document/chairwoman-rosenworcel-proposes-restore-net-neutrality-rules

Likely wouldn’t help with torrenting sites considering the first go-around with it had “Consumers deserve access to the lawful Internet content of their choice.” as one of the big things which is a contradiction to what Net Neutrality stands for, but it’s at least a step in the right direction.

Another user did some digging too and pointed out that the archive was the only one and was made on the day before the article, so the shaman website seems to have been created specifically for that article https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

OP’s post links here if it doesn’t work on your instance: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

The first line says “Seriously. This isn’t satire.”, but a few of the other posts are satire on the site (not all), such as “KDE Foundation hires Dwarf Paladin as new Executive Director” and “NetBSD Ported to Cheese Sandwich”. So this is probably malicious satire.

Looks like they were trying to link here, but the link didn’t work, at least on the instance I’m on. Not sure about others. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

Edit: The first line says it’s not satire, but poking around the site there is definitely some satire articles on there, so I think this is probably malicious satire.

Just enabled this, thanks!

Would like to add to this that invidious on web can proxy your videos like Piped does but you have to enable it in settings first, not sure when they added it but they have that now

Modded discord is the only way I can tolerate it anymore, custom UI and plugins take a lot of the friction away on both mobile and desktop, Discord still needs a viable competitor though so stuff doesn’t get trapped only on Discord, and so they have an incentive to improve stuff instead of enshittification

The issue with modded Discord is the ban risk, despite how uncommon it is, the risk is still there

Shouldn’t be a linux thing, I use it on Linux and Firefox myself, not sure what could be causing the issue for you though

Welcome to PC! One thing I wish I knew back when I started on PC was https://isthereanydeal.com, checks a bunch of safe sites to buy games from (most in Steam key form, some just for other stores in general) and can email you when any of them go on sale.

Also, the Augmented Steam browser extension (Chrome/etc) (Firefox) is really nice, sadly no version of it to work in the Steam client itself that I know of, but it adds a ton of QOL to the store.

When you do that sometimes there’s another invisible element covering the page that when deleted lets you scroll down again.

Also, try the element dropper/picker icon beside the element zapper, it does the same thing, except it sticks it into a list to do it automatically every time the page loads, also great for uncluttering needless crap on websites permanently.

They’re on one of the tabs for your lists if you need to undo one

The funny thing is I wouldn’t mind watching their ads if they weren’t annoying with them. If the ads were only at the start of a video, not during, and no still image banner at the bottom I have to click X on on desktop. I don’t want to actively dismiss anything while I’m watching the video, I want to relax and watch it.

They don’t allow me to sit and enjoy the videos without babysitting them to skip after the timer, so that’s why I block their ads with absolutely no compromise anymore.

The only ones I’ve really ended up liking are KDE Plasma, and Cosmic (both the modified Gnome version, and hopefully the Rust version in the future too. Right now I’m enjoying Cosmic more than KDE Plasma so I have high hopes for it, both are great though.

Pretty sure most people just use sudo for everything if they aren’t a sysadmin, I use sudo and almost never touch su unless I’m recovering from a major screwup

I had to do some digging on the name since almost every search engine was just throwing articles like this when trying to find a voice clip of him, he voices the statue “Arnold” in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZz37olVf I think his voice will be pretty good to adapt to Mario. Here’s his IMDb page https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12041073/

Recently moved to PopOS and while I’ve been generally aware of Cosmic I’ve been looking into it a lot recently, don’t know much about programming languages but from what I understand Rust is supposed to be really fast for this stuff.

Will using Rust cause the desktop to feel really responsive/snappy compared to other ones like Gnome or KDE Plasma (not that they’re slow), or is it more like an efficiency thing, less CPU/RAM use, etc? If this has already been answered can someone link me because I haven’t been able to find much on it

btw its not actually fully private when watching them from DuckDuckGo, they give a warning that the video provider can still track you when watching from ddg. Likely much less, but they still have their ways

Interesting to know that it doesn’t have ads from there though

At the time of writing this reply, its at 345k now. I read through the petition and agree entirely with it with that context.

Funnily enough same for me, I already had a prebuilt gaming PC but after spending the time trying to get ahold of the PS5, I just started saving and made my first PC build as an upgrade to what I already had, feel like it was the better choice in the long run.
