>>107529596If you live in a civilised country, then no new law is needed because you already have legal responsibility to keep your children safe and to educate them.Use parental controls, they are available on all devices for at least the past 10 years.The problem is that these parental responsibility laws are not enforced, so you get in a situation where children and adolescents do whatever the fuck they want and expose themselves to predators online.This new nanny state law is just an excuse for restrict your freedoms by authoritarian government retards who appeal to emotion by saying «think of the children». So again, the solution is to just enforce existing laws, no new law needed.

If you want to update your track, make a new post.Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.Comment too long.

>>107536854Nope I only post on YouTube. There is also a dmppresents Bandcamp page but I'm not the maintainer of it. If I have time I could make a Soundcloud but it's hard to get plays on there these days.
>>107535429you're still using an old and slow laptop in 2025. it's not terribly difficult to get a new computer. that's just one of numerous symptoms showing that you have some pathological, chronic mental health issue that's not helping you make great music. you're not really making any progress and still think highly of yourself. you've taken it upon yourself to manage the /dmp/ albums and repost the threads after reaching the bump limit or falling off page 10 even though it's arguably an redundant thread when there's /prod/ already, your priorities are not in the right place. you're not contributing to the topic of how to produce music, you're doing some attention whoring community manager type thing.
What do you think about Discord?
>>107536668just look at the checkpoint thing they did this year. They keep track of everything. They log who you talk to, how long you talk to them, what you say. Oh and they also look at every program that is running on your computer and log which games you play and how much. If you choose to opt out then they'll still collect data on who you talk to, they just won't show it to you. Software doesn't have to be issued by the KGB to be considered spyware, anon. The "your data = my data" mindset is enough to be of a concern to your privacy. The concern should only scale from there proportionally to the amount of data that they get. And Discord gets a lot of data
>>107537150how is that different from twitch recap or spotify recap and whatever?those stats are just normal app stuff. they don't record audio for example. if you can prove they do out of app spying then they're definitely shitters

>>107534496isOdd() had an update so the app had to be rebuilt

How do you protect yourself from session hijack/cookie theft?The idea that someone can take over some of my key accounts from a single misclick or redirect/hidden links is quite scary
>>107535638One protection is that session cookies these days often have a SameSite value - if set to Strict then the cookie is only sent to the domain that set the cookie. So if facebook.com set the cookie then the cookie would only be sent to requests to facebook.com, and not requests to website-belonging-to-a-criminal.comSee: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Set-Cookie#samesitesamesite-valueAlso I guess another good habit is to just not click dodgy links.

>>107535911Happened to me a couple of times, they were just processes that didn't close properly
>>107535156Vanilla Arch is bad for beginners, but Arch-based distros give you a preconfigured Arch and they're totally fine for beginners. I know Archinstall exists, but it still looks ugly and you can't use a mouse for it. The main downside to Arch-based distros is that the Arch community never developed a culture of offline installers; on deb/rpm-based distros you can download an offline installer for some program from a website and double-click to install it offline, which just isn't a thing on Arch. If that's not a problem to you, then Arch-based distros won't be a problem to you...except for potentially Manjaro.Manjaro has a big promise: it aims to be Arch but with less frequent updates. That sounds great, and if you stick to the official Manjaro repos it is indeed great, but the issue is that Arch (and by extension Manjaro) has a smaller repo than say Debian or Fedora, so there is a chance you might want to install something from the AUR. The issue is that Manjaro's slower update schedule causes compatibility issues with AUR software, which are updated for the latest versions of Arch. If you're certain you'll never need to use the AUR, then Manjaro is fine, but honestly Arch-based distros like CachyOS don't even break, and CachyOS is rivalled only by OpenSUSE in brick protection and automatic maintenance. I'd only recommend Manjaro over CachyOS if update notifications simply annoy you.TL;DR use anything EXCEPT for Mint, god no.
>>107536909Even without the AUR Manjaro was buggy as fuck for me back around 5-6 years ago so I never gave it another chance. Did they improve or is it still a collapsing pile of shit?
>>107537092I tried it around 2014, felt like shit, tried it two years ago, still shit
>>107535156just use cachyos dude it's fine. If it's a problem you can switch but I doubt you are going to have an issue with it.
