mnmalst··on Data collected by cars and sold to third parties
Which brand is that if you don't mind me asking?
mnmalst··on Midori, the first browser to offer a VPN with Mesh technology
I was wondering the same. I definitely recognize the name but not from a Firefox fork, which this seems to be? Before it was a lightweight webkit browser. The original website[1][2] also doesn't work anymore and the wikipedia entry [3] still assumes it's a webkit browser.

No idea what's going on.

mnmalst··on Turtle WoW classic server announces shutdown after Blizzard wins injunction
I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the last we hear from them. The server itself is not based on proprietary Blizzard code so they could keep using it and they already started developing their UE5 client. Maybe they will go the full way, create their own art assets and relaunch as TurtleMMO in the future.
mnmalst··on Adult German men must request permission to leave Germany for more than 3 months
Fair, yes I agree. Didn't mean to excuse anything they introduced.
mnmalst··on Adult German men must request permission to leave Germany for more than 3 months
I agree in general. One reason we haven't heard anything about it might be that the administration already admitted that this legislation needs correction or at least clarification, as mentioned in the article.
mnmalst··on Solar panels at Lidl? Plug-in versions set to appear in shops
Does this mean if you have a main grid power outage the solar panel cannot provide your house with power either?
mnmalst··on Iran says it will target US tech companies in Middle East
Or all hornets are dead.
mnmalst··on Duranium: A More Reliable PostmarketOS
Why don't you read the article?
mnmalst··on Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse
I laughed so hard. The whole articles tone is really enjoyable to me.
mnmalst··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
I am exited as well but the OS is only one part of the equation. If the firmware BLOBs don't get updates we still have a problem. I really hope this cooperation means that Motorola commits to longer support for gOS devices.
mnmalst··on Handy – Free open source speech-to-text app
This is really cool. Works out of the box and I'm typing this using handy.

Is there any way to execute commands directly on Linux?

Also a feature to edit or correct already typed text would be really great.

mnmalst··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
"Off the rails" hehe
mnmalst··on Wayland Nvidia
Totally agree. Every time I see someone complaining about ads, I think "What ads?"
mnmalst··on Wine 11.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
Awesome, that worked for me as well. Much appreciated.
mnmalst··on Wine 11.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
Oh hey, I have the same problem. My solution so far was just downgrading WINE.

Would you mind telling me the exact overwrites you use?

mnmalst··on Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support
Yes exactly, if you install the package you don't need the download the solver on the fly. AT least that's my understanding of what the package is supposed to do. Personally I have no need for it.
mnmalst··on Yt-dlp: External JavaScript runtime now required for full YouTube support
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yt-dlp-ejs looks like what you need?
mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
I am exactly like this. Great description.
mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
Interesting!

I experience visual dreams the same way I described imagining the environment when I read. It's a completely different experience than seeing with my eyes open.

mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
Yes I can do this. I can see the image in the middle the same way as I see each individual image. (But not both at the same time, the outside images get blurry when I focus on the one in the middle).

Anyways, this is nothing like what I experience when I imagine something.

mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
I don't feel like I know better what other people experience talking about it here. :)

Just now, what you wrote for example.

> my minds eye visualization is close to photographic parity.

What does this mean? Does this mean it's literally the exact same experience as if your eyes were open and you are looking at the picture? Or is it more like you imagine it and it's somewhere popping up in the back of your head?

When I read a book for example I can imagine what I read but it's not even close to "seeing" it. It's a completely different sensation and visual fidelity. It's just not "seeing".

mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
yes I think you come close to describing how I imagine things. Seeing is just fundamentally the wrong word, at least in my case. When I for example imagine a road I rode on with my bike the other day and do this with my eyes open, there is nothing popping up in front of my eyes, mixed with what i actually see atm, it's more like abstractions popping up in the back of my head. Very simple drawings maybe, just the contours of how it really looks.
mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
That's interesting, so how can people like that know which is real and which is not? I don't understand it.
mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
Are you really saying you can see an apple in the same way you see an apple with eyes opened? The exact same way? So if you close your eyes, imagine an apple and then look at an apple that someone holds in front of your eye, the apple looks exactly the same? As if you could look through your closed eye lids?
mnmalst··on Some people can't see mental images
I am the same and I am not convinced people can really - see - things. Like, when I close my eyes, I see the inside of my eye lids, the blackness. When I then try to imagine a candle for example there is no candle appearing in the darkness, I just remember how a candle is shaped its parts and similar characteristics. I see nothing.
mnmalst··on What happened to running what you wanted on your own machine?
In my opinion, the biggest problem that comes with this, is the fact that google play independent apps will become A LOT less popular. To a point where alternative roms are even less interesting to people which in return makes developing apps for them even less interesting.
mnmalst··on Recall for Linux
It kinda IS a working solution tho. recall-for-linux.exe is just a bash script that does this in a loop. :)

grim - | tee ~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").png | tesseract stdin stdout 2>/dev/null >~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").log

mnmalst··on NewPipe Is Turning 10
NewPipe does not have Sponsorblock built in tho. I am sure you are aware but other people might not. Tubular https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular is a newpipe fork which integrates Sponsorblock and youtube dislike.
mnmalst··on FBI Agents Visit Anti-ICE Protester: "Your name was brought up."
Interestingly you are both right even tho you say the exact opposite. :)
