Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.
Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM,
to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.
Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.
All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).
To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?
Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.
Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

OP I agree with you, it's a great idea imo.
I've been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..
Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban
I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it's good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.
However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

- Shizuku can run as root,
and has some advantages compared to giving apps root directly (e.g. it's faster) - LSPosed is indeed archived however it still works. It is the continuation of XPosed, a framework which allows modules to hook into functions of applications, to run custom code before/after them. These kind of modules allow for additional modification options which are not possible with normal Magisk modules.
- CorePatch makes it easy to install modified applications over stock ones, without needing to uninstall / wiping the apps data. Just make sure to not install modified versions of system apps and you should be fine.
- It's mostly used to recover yourself from bootloops when testing out new Magisk/Xposed modules, since if the phone bootloops, you can still disable the module that caused it from your custom recovery.
- It can make extended use of root + xposed, allowing it to auto-hook into applications, without needing to patch / install modified applications
- Very advanced audio tweaking software, can make 20$ headphones sound like 200$ headphones with the right tweaking.
- Is an Xposed module to turn apps dark which do not natively support dark themes, still works nicely, however not on all apps.

Don't meddle with "stable-coins".
They are pointless since they:
- Do not replace fiat
- Are not stable since inflation on fiat
- Are more risky then fiat
If you want a "stable-coin",
just use fiat..
Only crypto you should still care about these days is Monero.

Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.
Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.
Albeit quite bugged at release,
but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.
The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened..
An official modpack would have been much better.

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:

then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

They do not provide that content for free,

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, through [Citra Canary v2798](https://archive.org/details/yuzu-citra-source-code-binaries) with: - Internal Resolution: 9x Native (3600x2160) - ~~Custom Textures: [High Resolution Textures by GoboII](https://old.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/comments/k2ks66/high_resolution_textures/)~~ - Graphics API: Vulkan (AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT) And I gotta say, I'm happily impressed by how good it looks! Apart from the low resolution font/texts, I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄 **Edit:** I disabled the High Resolution Textures, because they cause: - Random game freezes in connection orb screens - Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens - Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes
I figured out a way to "easily" get them in single-player. **Recommended prerequisites (Not so easy):** - Reach level 44, for Legendary sphere's - Upgrade your Capture Power to level 10 at the statue of power with Lifmunk Effigy's **Cheese method for Alpha Frostallion:** - Install one of following mods: - Pal Info https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/178 I've been using this one up till now. - Pal Analyzer https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/336 I will soon switch to this one, since it looks nicer. They both will show you the passive skills a pal has, allowing you to check em out before catching the pals, so you don't waste sphere's - Travel to Frostallion, check his passive skills without battling, if they're not as desired, exit / re-enter your world, that will re-spawn / re-roll in a new one with new passive skills, repeat till you find a desired one. - Start battling as soon as you find a desired one, took me 20-30 minutes for mine. - There will be a large / tall ice rock in the area (Coordinates X: -349, Y: 519), just start circling around it, always keep the large / tall ice rock between you and Frostallion - Eventually he'll climb up the ice rock, and will fall down from it eventually as well, which will hurt him through fall damage for about 300 - 3000 HP! - Rinse and repeat until his HP is low, then start throwing your legendary sphere's 😄

⛏️ **__Fair CPU pool mining introduction__** **Monero (XMR)** is one of the only projects which offer a way of mining in a pool as it should be implemented, with **P2Pool**: - **Fair** - Instant payouts according to your share. - **Decentralized - No pool owners** - No centralized party handling the **P2Pool**. - **Decentralized - Pool participants** - Due to the **RandomX** algorithm being used, no specialized Antic miners can be built for XMR.

Use **Monero GUI** to create a wallet 2. Use **Monero GUI** to run your own **monerod** instance (Monero Node daemon), configure following startup flags under: Monero GUI => Settings => Node => Daemon startup flags: ```properties --zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --out-peers 32 --in-peers 64 --add-priority-node=uwillrunanodesoon.moneroworld.com:18089 --add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18081 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist --prune-blockchain --sync-pruned-blocks --db-sync-mode=safe --log-level 1 ``` These startup flags will help with: - Blocking malicious nodes - Keeping your copy of the blockchain as small as possible - Provide logging incase a `priority-node` goes down (Use **Monero Fail** for replacements) 3. Configure the **P2Pool** + **XMRig** binary paths in **Gupax** under: Gupax => Gupax => P2Pool/XMRig PATHs 4. Use **Gupax** to run **P2Pool**, connect to your local **monerod** instance by configuring P2Pool as following: Gupax => P2Pool => P2Pool Mini => Fill in the following: ```properties Name = Local Monero Node IP = 127.0.0.1 RPC = 18081 ZMQ = 18083 Out-peers = 32 In-peers = 64 ``` 5. Use **Gupax** to run **XMRig**, connect to your local **P2Pool** as following: Gupax => XMRig => Command arguments *(configure `--threads` as desired)*: ```properties -c config.json -o 127.0.0.1:3333 --http-host 127.0.0.1 --http-port 18088 --threads 30 ``` This will make it possible to load a `config.json` file from the same directory as the XMRig binary **__Notes__** - If you're gonna run on normal end-user hardware (e.g. Desktop/Laptop/Smartphone), then I'd recommend to mine on **P2Pool Mini** instead of the main **P2Pool** - Your **P2Pool wallet adress is public**, periodically move mined funds to a new, truly private XMR wallet - My use-case? I mine to support the cause and to earn a little back from heating my room during winter times 😄
