I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.

Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.

I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don't know how I'd have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.

Getting rid of coins/rewards just to empty everyone's stock and then bringing them back again without 1:1 compensation and forgetting everyone who gave their coins away before they would vanish

Some posts do show up on google but very few

I am pretty sure a bunch of mods on big subreddits are actually Reddit employees cosplaying as normal users too.

Oh, and Reddit is now shadow banning your accounts when you evade a ban on a sub. So now I got all my accounts shadow banned because I ended up commenting on a sub I was banned on one account without noticing it, so I have zero reasons to go back to using reddit anymore. At least before I got a ban and was notified about how long it would take for my accounts to be usable again, now they are shadow banned without any notifications and I have no idea if they will ever go back to normal or not, so fuck it.

 

So I wanted to watch a movie with another person and we both using our own bluetooth earbuds. So I found this code to be placed inside context.modules in the PipeWire config file:

{   name = libpipewire-module-combine-stream
    args = {
        combine.mode = sink
        node.name = "bt-broadcast"
        node.description = "A combined sink to all bluetooth devices"
        combine.latency-compensate = false
        combine.props = {
            audio.position = [ FL FR ]
        }
        stream.props = {
        }
        stream.rules = [
            {
                matches = [
                    # any of the items in matches needs to match, if one does,
                    # actions are emitted.
                    {
                        # all keys must match the value. ! negates. ~ starts regex.
                        # matches all bluez sinks
                        node.name = "~bluez_output.*"
                        media.class = "Audio/Sink"
                    }
                ]
                actions = {
                    create-stream = {
                        combine.audio.position = [ FL FR ]
                        audio.position = [ FL FR ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

I am using Debian 12 stable so the PipeWire config file was the one at /usr/share/pipewire

I did that, then systemctl restart wireplumber and maybe restarted some other services don't remember. It worked.

We watched the movie, I turned off the laptop. Now I picked it up again and there is no sound at all, whatever output device I choose on the Gnome config UI or on the EasyEffects UI, I can't get sound on the built in speakers, can't get on the bluetooth earbuds either (selecting the virtual device or the actual single earbud).

Help?

Incoming a bunch of clickbait and fake advertisement about paid content that a bunch of redditors will pay for to access, and then realize the content isn't there, isn't what they thought it would be or isn't worth paying for / is shit.

Hey, pay to see my sub guys, I promise there are posts with pictures of [????]. You pay and then it is all AI generated pics. Etc.

Google has a lot more money

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

It is more like the data could make money in the future but is not making money right now so they don't have infinite money for storage. If they had I am sure they would be happy to increase free storage limits.

Governments shouldn't [?] whether or not specific content is ok

Yes they should.

Idk why do people act as if online content is detached from real life. Governments decide what type of content/things are ok irl all the time, literally laws are deciding what is ok for you to do and show in real life all the time, everywhere, in all aspects of life. Why do you think online content is untouchable?

In most countries going out and showing your penis in public will land you in jail, why is the government deciding this is inappropriate "content" to be in public? It is just an example out of... thousands.

What do you think would happen if you set up a huge screen on a public square irl and started playing real murder videos that happened recently to people from your own country? Do you think people would see your huge screen showing actual muders and not call the cops on you? Do you think this behaviour would not destroy your life, maybe land you in jail or get you a huge fine, get you lawuits from the victims' families (who were real people on your videos) that you would 100% lose?

If you think governments shouldn't decide what type of content is ok to be shared publicly on social media, I invite you to download a collection of gore videos and set up a huge screen out on the streets and see how long you manage to be showing this in public before it lands you in trouble.

You wouldn't do it and I bet you know damn right that you getting in trouble for this is correct. Why is public social media different? Online = ethereal world where rules don't matter?

Come on dude, online content is not detached from real life.

Remember we are talking about content shared publicly for anyone, even unintentionally, to see. Not private messages and private groups that people join willingly.

These companies hoard data they might have an use for but not even know how yet. Training AI and shit. Deleting stuff ain't in their dictionary.

 

Edit: solved. Sorry guys, it was something silly. Instead of clicking shutdown on windows I just hard pressed the off button for some seconds on the laptop. So I booted back on windows and let it shutdown normally and then Debian was able to boot again. Hehe

So I've made a clean install of Debian 12 when it came out and have been using only it exclusively for this time. But I had Windows 10 on dual boot already since when I was using Debian 11, I just never booted on Windows until now.

I had to fill in some PDF documents and ended up having to go to windows and use Adobe Acrobat there because LibreOffice and google docs kept messing up the PDF files when I tried to add text to them.

So I did my thing on windows and finished it all just now and then rebooted and tried to boot my Debian 12 and it won't boot. All I see is:

/dev/sda11: recovering journal

/dev/sda11: clean [...] files, [...] blocks

And it is stuck here forever. I already tried to reboot multiple times.

I did nothing on windows to mess with the Linux partitions btw. Only chrome / acrobat / and I sent the files to google drive (so I didn't even try to copy them directly into the Linux partition or anything).

Please tell me I did not brick my OS and need a clean stall pls. What can I try? The answers I've tried from google don't work.

It is Debian 12 stable with nothing but software from the official stable repositories and flatpak.

I know it is annoying to say but this looks so much like AI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Goodness gracious they must have great balls of fire to have done this.

But what if it was trained on covers?

Agree, where I live for recurring subscriptions most people use "digital credit cards" that you generate on your banking app and they have short expiration dates or you can cancel them and generate a new one anytime you want. That's good because there are so many services that make it a pain in the ass to cancel a subscription so you just delete the card from existence.

 

That's crazy I don't think they would

\s obviously

 

I tried typing @instance_address in the search bar but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to search all communities in a specific instance?
