Vaxry: About Hyprland Premium
(from Vaxry, creator of Hyprland)
Hey hey people, vax here.
I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.
There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.
Anyways, here are some key takeaways:
Yes, it's real
It's the official website. I did not get hacked.
Hyprland is not going closed source
It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.
Why money
I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.
Forums:
Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.
"Premium" Forums:
Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.
Desktop Experience:
Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.
Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)
"Further premium services":
A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.
Cheers, happy Hyprlanding.

Taiwan: Frequent TikTok users more likely to hold pro-China views, survey finds
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/37225074
ArchivedFrequent TikTok users in Taiwan are more likely to hold certain political views aligned with Beijing's narratives, according to a recent survey by Taiwan-based NGO DoubleThink Lab.
Conducted in March and released on June 5, the survey compared "active" TikTok users - defined as those who use the app several times a week for over 30 minutes per session or several times a day with shorter sessions - with "inactive" users who spend less time on the platform. It explored their views on a range of issues including cross-strait relations, democracy and U.S. support for Taiwan.

In political science, a proxy war is an armed conflict where at least one of the belligerents is directed or supported by an external third-party power. In the term proxy war, a belligerent with external support is the proxy; both belligerents in a proxy war can be considered proxies if both are receiving foreign military aid from a third party country. Acting either as a nation-state government or as a conventional force, a proxy belligerent acts in behalf of a third-party state sponsor.[1]
That’s a very loose definition of a proxy war, by that metric basically any war since globalisation is a proxy war.

pazzia marittima già nella spiaggia del paese italico
Sembra assurdo doverlo realizzare così a caso, ma stranamente (…o forse no?) al mare già è più o meno pieno di pazzi. Siamo appena verso la fine di giugno… ossia tecnicamente proprio all’inizio dell’estate, anche se non sembra (e a proposito, ieri era il solstizio, quindi ora tramonterà sempre più presto la sera… preparatevi a soffrire!!!)… e già al lido se ne vedono veramente di tutti i colori. Nulla di troppo grosso eh, il solito… ma, pure a rischio di sembrare io la pazza, certe cose vanno dette per come stanno, e quindi ecco: è un delirio. 🤯Come primo, c’è il fatto che da questa settimana il lido ha messo la musica, nella rotonda (che non è troppo lontana dagli ombrelloni, quindi ops)… e il problema è che in qualche modo non riescono a mettere roba decente neanche per sbaglio! Solo canzoni italiane (nemmeno spagnole finite in mezzo per errore, mi sa!) dell’ultimo decennio, che già è molto dire… ma nemmeno per idea qualche canzone “importante”, sempre e solo le solite “da mare” trite e ritrite; e ho detto tutto! Ma come si fa a trattare l’arte musicale con così tanta superficialità… cioè, a questo punto mettete in riproduzione una radio, piuttosto che questa playlist fatta con lo stampino… 😭
Poi boh, si scende sempre più nella crisi di nervi intanto: noi abbiamo l’ombrellone fisso, mentre a quanto sembra quello subito più avanti ogni giorno ha sempre persone diverse dal giorno prima (…ammesso non sia io incapace di vedere, che è un’ipotesi non escluderei purtroppo…). Anche qui, apparentemente nulla di strano… se non fosse che in qualche modo, sotto quell’ombrellone finisce sempre per esserci qualcuno che fuma le fottute sigarette!!! E quindi, pure stando a 3 metri buoni di distanza, ti arrivano i tumori direttamente nel naso, perché il vento convenientemente soffia sempre dal mare in dentro; mai di lato o nel verso opposto. Ci sarebbe un intero discorso a parte da fare sul fatto della gente che ancora compra ed usa in pubblico quei bastoncini al cancro, però che cazzo!!! 🤮
Almeno qualcosa di non snervante, seppur comunque in qualche misura preoccupante, l’ho vista oggi: dei bambini in tarda infanzia che facevano degli strani balli sotto le docce… mi chiedo se stessero copiando Fortnite, TikTok, altre diavolerie dei giorni loro, oppure semplicemente avessero freddo durante il paio di minuti buono che hanno speso sotto l’acqua, e se quelli fossero quindi semplicemente riflessi corporei… non lo sapremo mai, ma ho riso… Mentre invece non ho affatto riso all’andata, per la via, dove in qualche modo si è veramente visto il traffico peggiore di tutti i tempi; giuro, mai in anni e anni abbiamo visto tutto quel traffico in quella direzione, che per giunta per qualche motivo avanzava a tratti anziché fluidamente… e non ci abbiamo capito niente della causa, perché da che era tutto incastrato a un certo punto si è iniziati a fluire, e vaffanculo al secchio. 🦏

EU top diplomat calls for restraint after US 'obliterates' Iran’s nuclear sites
The European Union’s chief diplomat has called for all sides in the Middle East conflict to “step back” and return to negotiations after the U.S. struck key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.
Kaja Kallas posted on the X platform that an Iranian nuclear capability would represent a global security threat and urged all sides not to escalate.
“I urge all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation,” she wrote, adding that EU foreign ministers will meet on Monday to discuss the latest developments.
The U.S. entered a conflict on Saturday that has raged between Israel and Iran since June 13 when Tel Aviv launched airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military targets.
Since then, the two sides have exchanged air attacks resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
Having said on Thursday he would decide within two weeks whether to enter the fray, U.S. President Donald Trump authorized a heavy assault on three Iranian nuclear development facilities on Saturday and warned of further action should Tehran retaliate.
Against the backdrop of escalating hostilities in the Middle East, Poland’s foreign ministry advised on Sunday against all travel to Israel.
Spokesman Paweł Wroński told a press conference the ministry is not a “travel agency” after Polish authorities repatriated around 200 people from Israel last week.
“It is not the case that we will always be able to help people.” he said.

Accessing Jellyfin Help
Good morning all,
I'm having an issue with my Jellyfin server and hoping that you lovely wizards can help me...again.
So I initially tried and failed to set up Jellyfin on elementaryOS(skill issue), I wasn't really invested in the OS so I just switched to Ubuntu. Things have been much easier for the get go. I now have set up Jellyfin on my ubuntu 24.04.2 and uploaded my library from my external hdd. Now I cant figure out how to connect other devices so I can watch my media on my macbook. I currently also use a PIA vpn with port forwarding on due to my qbit seeding. I feel like that is important info. I've looked up how to connect while one the same network but since I need my vpn to stay on I'm feeling a little outside my depth again. Ultimate goal is to be able to access my library on other devices mainly, mainly my macbook, while also being able to seed from Qbit safely.
I appreciate any assistance you all can offer!
like this
Don't get too crazy into categorizing your media. Keep it simple with your folders, so Jellyfin can know what the file is then scrape the internet for meta-data.
Media -> Movies -> Example Movie (year) -> Example.movie.file
Media -> Shows -> Example Show (year) -> Season 1 -> Example.show.S01E01.file
Ideally your media downloads will have the name and release year in the folder name already. It knows to ignore or match things like x264, DD.5.1, and release group name.
this.
jellyfin has a pretty strict format structure if you want everything to auto discover.

Keir Starmer backs US strike on Iran and calls for Tehran to return to talks
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/31809376
Prime minister says Iran’s nuclear programme is a ‘grave threat to international security’Keir Starmer has backed the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and called on Iran to return to negotiations, saying the country’s nuclear programme was a “grave threat to international security”.
Donald Trump announced overnight that the US had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, joining Israel’s attack on the Tehran regime.
There was no UK involvement in the action. Starmer and the foreign secretary, David Lammy, had pushed for a diplomatic solution amid fears a wider action could further destabilise the region.

Bluesky is more open than you think.
I see a lot of misinformation about bluesky here, so I want to address a lot of the talking points against atproto/bluesky.
This is partially inspired by accounts like mastodon migration and feditips being really annoying about bluesky.
How Bluesky Works
I see a lot of people misunderstanding how it works.
The network has three main parts:
1. A PDS -- This stands for Personal Data Server. These store information in records, like who you are following, your posts, who you are blocking and your images.
2. A relay -- These crawl PDSes and keep a copy of all the records on them. They give a "Firehose" of all the data on the network (that they crawled).
3. An AppView -- These index and work through the data from the firehose. All interactions are handled through these, meaning if someone follows me on bluesky, that app.bsky.graph.follow record will be crawled by the relay, and recieved by the AppView. bsky.app/ is an Appview. Appviews don't always have to use the relays, whtwnd.com/ connects to PDSes directly.
This is different to ActivityPub, where if I follow someone, my server sends that information directly to the other person's server.
Common misconceptions
An atproto relay is too expensive to run.
atproto.africa/ is a second full-network relay run by the blacksky team. We already have a second relay, and they're not even that expensive to run anymore, a lot of people run non-archival (meaning it doesn't backfill every post) relays for less than $40 a month.
There is no instances available except for bsky.social
bsky.social isn't actually an instance, its just the domain name assigned to users by default. This is explained here: app.wafrn.net/fediverse/post/f…
Wafrn has (opt-in) bluesky support, they act as a PDS and AppView, so if bluesky disappears tomorrow they can switch to the atproto.africa relay. (There is DID:PLC which is a problem, but I'll get to that later.)
You can't defederate bsky.social, this proves atproto is centralised!
app.wafrn.net/fediverse/post/f… also explains this, bsky.social is just the name assigned to users, each PDS has names like brittlegill.us-west.host.bsky.… (where my account is).
While you could ignore records from a specific PDS on the App layer, its pretty pointless, since atproto is portable/content addressed, meaning a user could seamlessly move to another PDS. (AP does support moving, but its pretty seamful.)
(While I was writing this someone posted a pretty good blogpost about this: blog.cyrneko.eu/there-is-no-bs…)
Bluesky can censor people in turkey, this proves they're centralised!
Those posts weren't removed, people on third party bluesky apps in turkey could still see them.
People in Turkey are automatically subscribed to a Moderation Service which hides those posts, as the government requires it.
If a person unsubscribes, or uses a third party app/server the posts are still there.
Bluesky isn't decentralised as someone was banned for pointing out the head of T&S liked jailbait porn.
That person came back on a different PDS. They literally are still on bluesky because they joined a different server.
Bluesky went down due to a DDoS, this proves they are centralised!
The DDoS only crashed the Bluesky PDSes. People self hosting were fine.
Wafrn
Wafrn is a federated tumblr alternative. It started off as a tumblr clone, the dev added AP support, and eventually, Atproto support.
Its a great example of how bluesky can be built on.
If bluesky disappeared tomorrow, Wafrn could switch relays to atproto.africa, and still interact with people on other PDSes.
The main reason I made this post is because so many people are blindly anti-atproto, without fully understanding how it works and how it can be improved.
There is obviously problems with it, but it does a lot right. (There's a lot ActivityPub should do, like content addressing, DIDs and composable moderation).
I also think we could do with a better bridge. bridgy isn't really cutting it right now.
Note on did:plc, its the only centralised part of the network as of now, its essentially the underlying ID every account has. It is possible to use a did:web id instead, which is tied to a website name.
Bluesky
Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.Bluesky Social
Well to answer that we must first look at howbsky.socialis just the auto-assigned domains for new usersthe underlying servers are all hosted at subdomains of
.bsky.network, luckily mary-ext / mary.my.id has a neat lil' GitHub repo that collects them all in one place: github.com/mary-ext/atproto-sc…Now if we wanna specifically exclude content from the PDS that JD Vance is on, all I'd have to do is look up which one of these PDS instances vance's account is, nuke it from our database and stop ingesting content from that PDS through the firehose
For reference, we can use pdsls.dev to look up JD's server and determine it to be
https://woodear.us-west.host.bsky.network/problem is, unlike how fedi tends to work, the underlying PDS instances are assigned automatically; Vance didn't choose that PDS, it was chosen for him. As such straight up blocking this PDS from being indexed has about the same impact as blocking a large Mastodon instance like mastodon.social or something along those lines would have: We would hit lots of people that have nothing to do with vance, or are even actively blocking and shaming him
Now you are right in the observation that Bluesky PBLLC is choosing to platform vance, jesse singal and others; Their moderation is very akin to centrist beliefs, and as such quite weak in protecting especially those most vulnerable.
It's just that from a technical standpoint with how ATProto works, it doesn't quite make as much sense to block the server vance is currently on, it makes much more sense to block the account and associated
did:plcidentity ← This makes sure that even IF vance moves his account (although I'd doubt it) to another PDS, he will stay blocked on our infra.GitHub - mary-ext/atproto-scraping: Git scraping of AT Protocol/Bluesky instances

It's not a matter of how many users, but whether those users have the option to switch servers. By the former standard, mastodon would be considered centralized simply because of mastodon.social.

Because all the nerds who want to do that are on mastodon ; ).
Jokes aside, people are self hosting them, there's about 2000 independant PDSes right now.

How can websites verify unique (IRL) identities?
I was reading the comments about Iris scanning and Reddit, and came to the conclusion that they want to be able to present to investors and advertisers that it isn't just LLMs talking to each other. Therefore they want to verify their users' identity.
I would never give over biometric data like this due to privacy/security/anonymity concerns. However, I was curious if people could describe what the alternative would or could look like? I think Switzerland is working on something like this. Is there a safe and private way to verify that I am in fact a real human on the internet? Thanks for your wisdom.

I'm getting "Error setting installer parameters" while attempting to set up a new VM in Virtual Machine Manager [SOLVED]
EDIT: tldr - I was having issues creating a VM using Virtual Machine Manager on Bazzite Linux. Several responders chimed in that it's likely because I'm using the flatpak version of VMM. I probably still could make it work on Bazzite somehow, perhaps w/ the help of distrobox, but instead I've fired up a VM on an old laptop running Linux Mint and everything is smooth sailing. Thanks to all who took some time to help me find a solution.
Original body:
Background: I'm looking to set up a virtual Debian server using Virtual Machine Manager, but I'm stuck on creating my first VM. I'm running Bazzite on my host machine if that makes any difference.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue:
- Launch Virtual Machine Manager.
- Click File > New Virtual Machine, which opens the "New VM - Step 1" window.
- Select "Local install media" and click Forward, which brings me to "New VM - Step 2."
- Click "Browse..." which opens the "Locate ISO media volume" window:
- Click "Browse Local," which opens the file browser.
- Choose ISO file (in my case, I'm using
debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso) and click Select, which returns me to the "New VM - Step 2" window. - Because the OS is not detected automatically, I uncheck the "Automatically detect from the installation media / source" checkbox, start typing the word "debian" in the text box above it, and select Debian 12 from the pop-up selection menu.
- Click Forward.
Actual behavior:
Input Error - Error setting installer parameters. Validating install media '/run/user/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc/debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso' failed. Could not start storage pool: cannot open directory '/run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc': Permission denied.
Expected behavior: Create the VM and boot into the ISO that I selected in previous steps.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Here are the results of some commands that I believe answer your questions. When I run the ls command against that directory, it says no such file or directory. Could this have something to do w/ the fact that Virtual Machine Manager is running as a flatpak? (as the other commenter @ormith@lemmy.world has hinted)
Here's what I tried:
what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc

Reference my response to @ormith@lemmy.world's comment.
WOW, yes, your problem is almost certainly Flatpak-related. I'm surprised you even got as far as you did. Flatpak is often great but does not tend to play well with applications that need less common capabilities.
I'd recommend installing VMM in a different way if that's an option for you; I expect that will likely make your problem go away.
Virtual Machine Manager's GitHub page for its flatpak includes the following lines:
NOTE: By default, this Flatpak only includes the Virtual Machine Manager client application and does not include the libvirt daemon or QEMU. Depending on your use case, you may have to install other applications or extensions:
- Connecting to a remote libvirt instance: nothing else needed
- Connecting to a libvirt system instance: make sure that libvirtd is installed on the host, either via your package manager or using a system extension on image based systems for example
- Connecting to a libvirt user instance: install the QEMU extension using
flatpak install org.virt_manager.virt_manager.Extension.Qemu
So, in this case, have you either installed libvirtd on the host^[Technically, you could also install libvirtd as a sysext.] (i.e. have you installed it with rpm-ostree) OR have you installed the QEMU extension as per its own instruction?
If neither, then you should at least do one of them and report back.
EDIT: While what's written above remains relevant beyond Bazzite, Bazzite's ujust scripts do provide handholds for a myriad of situations including this one:
