Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Buy European@feddit.uk•Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor15·3 days agoHow come his bank accounts in the UK was frozen? In what way can the US have influence on that?
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Buy European@feddit.uk•Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor54·3 days agoMicrosoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked.
Microsoft did not respond to a request for comment.
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.1·5 days agoIn my experience a stable distribution is a “set and forget”, unless you start tinkering with it.
I have countless of users where I’ve installed something like Linux Mint and it’s been literally running for years without any issues. These users have no idea how to use a computer, except for logging in and opening the browser.
Obviously the more complex a setup, the more shit can go wrong.

Meldrik@lemmy.wtfOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.401·7 days agoMost people who go out and buy a computer doesn’t understand what an OS is. If Linux was standard when you bought a PC, it would be the dominating OS. I mean, you could switch the OS to Linux on the computers and I think most people wouldn’t realise when they buy it lol
Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.
You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE planning big changes, Wikipedia adds AI, OpenSUSE leaps: Linux & Open Source News71·11 days agoWhat do you mean? It’s a video made by The Linux Experiment, where he talks about the news.
I don’t know if this is true for Slovakia, but if you industry is dependent on (cheap) gas, it’s not easy nor cheap to transition to something else.
Also what is the alternative? One thing would be expensive gas from somewhere else, that might come from Russia via another country anyway. Then what about wind and solar? Well, with solar you become dependent on China, because Europe hasn’t managed to be competitive at all. What about wind then? That’s great, but we still need another source of power when the wind isn’t blowing. Both solar and wind needs rare earth materiels not really found in Europe.
Also who should pay for all of this?

Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭

Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for volunteers to help host Tahoe-LAFS!English3·15 days agoInteresting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.
AirVPN looks a bit “old”, but it has better support on Linux afaik.
- AirVPN
- Proton VPN
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! PeertubeEnglish5·20 days agoWorking with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
I think that’s a stretch. If we wanna criticise Proton, it’s their lack of proper Linux support.
