Do you have any network drives mounted? I've had experiences where a program fails to save or download and sometimes hangs if (1) I save to a mounted network drive, (2) I lose the mount for whatever reason, and (3) I try to download or save again and the program presumably attempts to access the last place it wrote to (the lost network mount).
Oh, you're right. After further investigation: this old program is 32-bit but my Wine prefix was 64-bit (face palm). Switching my prefix architecture fixed this issue (& of course exposed a new one... This Wine stuff is hard if you're not just trying to run video games...)
If you're trying to run a keymapper to use a gamepad for Minetest then no, I don't think you'd need to make any Minetest settings changes. On a similar Linux setup I didn't need to make Minetest settings adjustments for this.
I'd expect that you'd need to start your keymapper program first, map the keyboard to your gamepad appropriately (i.e. wasd would go to the left analog stick, etc), check that it's working in a simple app like a text editor. Finally, if all of that works then try loading up Minetest.
VoxeLibre (formerly Mineclone 2) supports this. The server has the option for "Peaceful mode" which does what you describe within the VoxeLibre options.
Note that the setting is within the VoxeLibre options (and not the Minetest options). :)
Sometimes the info to get to your router's settings is written on the bottom of the physical router itself.
For example, you might find a sticker saying it's default local IP is 192.168.0.1, it's default username is "Admin", & it's default password is "Admin123". In that case on a computer connected to your WiFi you could navigate to https://192.168.0.1 in a browser and provide those credentials when prompted. Afterward you can access router settings including port forwarding.
If you don't find that info on the bottom of the router you can check its user manual (if you have it). Or you can often look up those defaults by searching for your router's model number on the internet.
Minetest has no native gamepad support, but even on Android there will be keyboard & mouse support. To use a controller you'd map your controller buttons to the appropriate keyboard/mouse keys (not to the touch screen). I've done this on a Linux handheld with a touchscreen & it works great. I wind up using "hybrid controls", where for some crafting-related things I use the touch screen & everything else I use the gamepad.
If you go this route you'll a keymapping software for Android. I don't know of one unfortunately, but here's a thread discussing options.
I'm very skeptical that this "model poisoning" approach will work in practice. To pull it off would require a very high level of coordination among disparate people generating the training data (the images/text). I just can't imagine it happening. Add to that: big tech has A LOT of resources to play this cat & mouse game.
I hope I'm wrong, but I predict big tech wins here.
I hear what you're saying and it makes sense. But I do not believe that my particular case was one of priming/manipulation/freq bias. The topic of conversation was too uncharacteristic, too random, and there were too many similar ads within moments. It was either a colossal coincidence or a breach in privacy.
I suppose it doesn't matter. My phone is much more locked down now.
Something on stock Android phones is always listening though. I had a similar experience as OP where I had an IRL conversation once with my son about a product I don't normally talk about. My phone was unused & "asleep" nearby. An hour later at work I was inundated with ads for said product all over the internet in my Chrome browser on my work computer. It was way too heavy handed to be a coincidence. The phone had listened to our conversation.
(That day marked the first on my journey to de-Google and take serious steps preserve my privacy online)
Surprised the rates of adblocking is so high! I thought it was a little more niche.
Also surprised that the article didn't mention manifest v3 rolling out later this year to Chrimium-based browsers - which will effectively end adblocking in all browsers except Firefox.
Google isn't stupid, they know that ad blocking undermines their business. And Google controls Chromium: the backbone of almost all browsers. So of course they're going to engineer it to prevent ad blocking. It was only a matter of time.
