Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They’re one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

Might be a bit heavy, but assuming you have a good upload/GPU: Jellyfin.

1. You could trivially verify an emulated game with a checksum

2. If a game is released on GOG, there are Checksums that are hidden from the user. GOG games are DRM-free, so there’s no reason anyone would modify the installer.

How would this even be enforced?

Just use a Degoogled Android phone.

At the very least, better filesystem level compression support. A somewhat common usecase might be people who use emulators. Both Wii U and PS3 are consoles where major emulators just use a folder on your filesystem. I know a lot of emulator users who are non-technical to the point that they don’t have “show hidden files and folders” enabled.

Also your average person wouldn’t necessarily need checksums, but having them built into the filesystem would lead to overall more reliability.

The last update to NTFS was in 2004.

The fact that ReFS doesn’t even support all the features NTFS does is pathetic.

Biggest problem is that you’d need the services everywhere for a 3-digit number to make sense.

Now if there was a 3-digit number that’d connect you to all the misc government services in your area, that’d be another thing.

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

What about the Windsors?

I see it like this:

Our legal system has the concept of mechanical licensing. If your song exists, someone can demand the right to cover it and the law will favor them. The result of an LLM has less to do with your art that a cover of your song does.

There are plenty of cases of a cover eclipsing the original version of a song in popularity and yet I have never met a single person argue that we should get rid of the right to cover a song.

The issue is more political than technical. Hopefully AV1 will fix that.
