I use Caesium for image compression.

Not shilling, since both seem to be free and open-source image compressors.

How’s MAZANOKE different?

Which is better: Junk Store or Heroic?

I’d have skimmed a transcript, but I noped out of Instagram reel.

On one hand, consumption of pirate IPTV services in Sweden has dropped two points, from 16% of all households in 2024 to 14% in 2025. On the other, 30% of over 15-year-olds consume content illegally every month, a figure that rises to over 50% among men under 35.

I hate when they just throw statistics at you like this.

30% of all Swedish people over 15.
50% of all Swedish men under 35.
14% of all Swedish households.

… I think? Does IPTV = all pirated content?

Edit: formatting

Hopefully not a dumb question: If Vulkan runs on anything, assuming their game isn’t a Windows (Xbox?) exclusive, why don’t more people program their games to use Vulkan instead?

What does proton do?

I only vaguely understand it as “thing that makes game playable on other thing.”

(And also I have six versions installed on my steam deck whydoIneedsixofthese?)

I upvote you making stuff.

I said “why not make a newsletter,” not “why not make a side hustle”.

Lemmy (and the threadiverse in general) is a link aggregation platform.

A newsletter seems like a better format for long text posts like this one.

Well there’s your other problem.

Next, you’re going tell me a billionaire’s involved somehow!

Well there’s your problem.

If you’re going to keep doing these, why not make a newsletter?

Where’s the graphic from?

that transforms a question that would trip filters like anything about Gaza or uyghurs or things that are “sensitive” into a prompt without triggering language and intent

Can you ELI5 what you’re saying here?

Soulseek is nice. Community of people sharing their music libraries with each other.

Banana hammocking is bad for your back.

You gotta lay in it diagonally.

Signal

Signal supports a manual backup and restore option. Basically, messages are not backed up to any cloud storage, and Signal cannot access them.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp can optionally back up the contents of chats to either a Google Account on Android, or iCloud on iPhone, and you have a choice to back up with or without end-to-end encryption.

iMessage

[iMessage] backups… are not end-to-end encrypted by default. This is a loophole we’ve routinely demanded Apple close.

The good news is that with the release of the Advanced Data Protection feature, you can optionally turn on end-to-end encryption for almost everything stored in iCloud, including those backups (unless you’re in the U.K.).

Google Messages

You can optionally back up Google Messages to a Google Account, and as long as you have a passcode or lock screen password, the backup of the text of those conversations is end-to-end encrypted.

Basically, don’t invite either of them to queer Thanksgiving.

If they actually made that work… respect.

It looks you’re coming at this in bad faith, so I’ll ignore you.

For anyone else reading, the CIA version basically revises “brutal dictator” to “brutal ‘captain of a team’.”
