tossit444··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
From Nitter matrix group:

basically, it demands that I:

1. Permanently take down nitter.net and the GitHub repository, and delete all "X Data" in both 2. Stop all use of the "Twitter" and "X" marks 3. Cease all access to X data, including copies 4. Delete all X account credentials and session tokens 5. Confirm compliance in writing within three business days

The claims asserted are breach of X's Terms of Service, Developer Agreement and Developer Policy; the Texas Harmful Access by Computer Act; and the Lanham Act. It threatens litigation against me personally. X states it has also sent notice to GitHub and to my domain registrar.

tossit444··on Azure Linux 4.0 is Microsoft's first general-purpose Linux
Not really. They've always advertised it for, well, Azure, and the actual announcement[0] makes it clear that it's simply a distro for Azure workloads. Considering they state it's "built exclusively for cloud and server workloads, it is not intended to support desktop usage or GUI applications," Microsoft isn't playing that game here.

tossit444··on Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract
Geoblocked in USA. HTTP 451 in network requests.
tossit444··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
So you moved into a walled garden in an attempt to escape what's essentially a 3 foot picket fenced garden.
tossit444··on Binary obfuscation used in AAA Games
The main site to get these hypervisor cracks thoroughly vets them, requiring the devs to publish the source code to it all.

Staring very close at the screen.
tossit444··on Show HN: Viral Potential Predictor
Look at memvid's closed issues. The entire thing is a farce.

tossit444··on The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI Partner on Sora
I'm genuinely stunned they're giving OAI money.
tossit444··on Have I been Flocked? – Check if your license plate is being watched
No, Workers free tier is 100,000 requests/day. Considering the error is on the main page, each visit is probably taking a minimum of 10+ requests, so it can easily be overwhelmed.
tossit444··on Let's Help NetBSD Cross the Finish Line Before 2025 Ends
I guess we're all complicit to <insert war crime> for using and developing software that anyone can use freely...
tossit444··on Did you read the quarter-million-line license for your Slack app?
299USD. It became free merely two weeks ago.

tossit444··on Playing “Minecraft” without Minecraft (2024)
I think it's amazing to have a massive commercially successful game such as Minecraft give the fans the ability to be very liberal with what they can do with it. Now we have open-source re-implementaions that are pretty close to vanilla!
tossit444··on Liquid Glass in the Browser: Refraction with CSS and SVG
404?
tossit444··on Not paying with cash
Prepaid debit cards usually do not require identification.
tossit444··on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?
v2ray and similar servers do exactly that, and I would assume they're still working as they're actively developed.
tossit444··on Zenobia Pay – A mission to build an alternative to high-fee card networks
The cards they give are mostly anonymous, but you still need to give privacy.com your ID, credit card, etc.
tossit444··on FFmpeg 8.0 adds Whisper support
Aegisub is still actively developed (forked), and imo, both software can't really be compared to one another. They can complement each other, but SE is much better for actual transcription. Aegisub still does the heavy lifting for typesetting and the like.
tossit444··on Perplexity Makes Longshot $34.5B Offer for Chrome
Going to assume this is about their partnership with Yandex for image searching.

tossit444··on California bill aims to phase out harmful ultra-processed foods in schools
> To identify which ultra-processed foods should be eliminated from school offerings, scientists will consider whether a product includes additives that are banned elsewhere, whether it has been linked to health harms, whether it has been show to contribute to food addiction, and whether it contains excessive fat, sugar or salt, California Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, one of the lawmakers who introduced the bill, said on the call.

Should make it a rule for people to read the post instead of merely the title.

The irony is this mirror's host is a far-right fediverse instance.

tossit444··on Track your devices via Apple FindMy network in Go/TinyGo
Doesn't Apple force SMS 2FA on accounts? I remember trying to use Apple Music some years back and it needed me to give a phone number.
tossit444··on Make the most of your burl
I'm assuming this is a video, but I see nothing on the page signifying there is supposed to be one.

tossit444··on 200GB Free Cloud for Your Files
Sudden suspensions with no chance to appeal or explanation, regardless if you were a paying customer or just a free tier user. It's ridiculous.
tossit444··on Playstation VR2 players can access games on PC with adapter starting on August 7
> ...you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games.

Even if there are caveats, this is amazing for everyone. The fact they even advertised Half Life: Alyx in the press photo makes the announcement just that sweeter.

tossit444··on A slightly more fun way to disable Windows Defender (through the WSC API)
ToggleDefender (https://github.com/AveYo/LeanAndMean/blob/main/ToggleDefende...) still works to this day!
