I often catch myself using Downloads to store a very suspicious quantity of files.

Godot is fantastic, supports linux natively, and it’s FOSS; highly recommend it.

For Voyager specific questions, you might find !voyagerapp@lemmy.world more effective in the future - it’s got a dedicated community.

Upper right corner - Click your username, then Settings. There’s an Avatar and Banner upload option there.

I’d give him or her a pass

I know what you mean, but ‘give them a pass’ typically means to overlook bad behavior and not hold them accountable, not to pass on electing them.

I honestly think if politicians had to live solely on the median income in the state or country they represent, we’d be seeing a lot more legislation that’s in the interest of the working class. Or a lot more corruption and under-the-table dealings, but certainly one or the other.

$8 billion lawsuit

They want Mr Zuckerberg and his co-defendants to reimburse the company for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs Meta paid following the controversy.

So… a $12.2 billion lawsuit, then?

Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.

This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.

Shut up and take my money.

This seems like a novelty that people would watch one time and then promptly forget about. Where’s the appeal in this at all? Not even from an “AI BAD” standpoint, but just, like… why?

Not only that, it’s a meaningless requirement. There’s subs on Reddit that exist solely to farm karma. You make a post, everyone upvotes it, done.

You could just look up articles on his policies - given his high profile status, they’re all over right now.

Really, the whole basis for the anti-AI arguments seem to boil down to “It feels wrong that a billionaire’s corporation should be able to take the work of artists and writers and, without paying them for it, use it to create a tool that is then used to put them out of work.” And that’s absolutely 100% true, but it unfortunately doesn’t hold any legal weight, and the terms we currently have to describe intellectual property theft simply aren’t sufficient to describe what’s going on here. Until new laws are passed, I don’t see any of these attempts to stop AI going anywhere, but I’d love to be proven incorrect.

There’s already services like Box.com that offer similar functionality for files.

As a suggestion, having an option to have the string deleted after it’s been accessed once would be nice as an extra layer of protection.

Not that I’d use this service for it, but I’ve had use cases for this sort of thing. It’s not so much about plausible deniability as OP wants to sell it as, but more about security. You send the locked link (or a PW protected file or whatever) via, say, email, and the password through a text message. Then, in order for the data to be stolen, the attacker would need access to both of those, rather than only one. It’s niche, but I’ve needed to do it for my job before, so I can at least see the point.

Makes privacy-focused service

Disallows access through VPNs

Mate…

Well, now I feel like I need to provide a picture so folks don’t get the wrong idea!

I have a giant Chillet plush that I sleep with. It’s basically a body pillow. It serves this function admirably, and goddamn is it cute.

As far as I’m aware, death punishment is not what happened to any of those that refused during Vietnam or Afghanistan.

“Life-ending consequences” doesn’t necessarily mean literal death. Court martials for serious offenses (which disobeying orders absolutely is) can come with very heavy penalties. It’s possible that it’s a regional colloquialism, but ‘life-ending consequences’ refers to consequences that end “life as you know it”, typically referring to something that is reasonably impossible to recover from.

Trump got democratically elected

Debatable.

thousand of soldiers carried out his orders while they could have refused

Refusing lawful orders comes with life-ending consequences.

Calling them orcs or implying the population is all shit?

Personally, I think equating any population with the actions of its government is a poor move, but you do you.
