Every major social media is censoring anti-israel or pro-Palestine content. This may be a good opportunity to convince Arabs to move over to lemmy, where only we control the content moderation....
I think you misunderstand my intentions. An Arabic lemmy instance is not aimed at isolation. People will be able to ineract with us without issue, and we will interact with them (federation will be open). The only purpose is to have a space where we are free of corporate censorship, and a space where you (whether an Arab or not) will find many other arabs, rather than most of the internet that is English-speaking, and most of the remainder speaking a west european language.
If anything, this would de-isolate Arabs. The primary Arabic speaking spaces on the internet are networks of friends on Facebook, isolated from the rest of the world. At least this way you can find us, and see that we are normal human beings (as unfortunately some racists in the western world are surprised to find that out) and you can talk with us.
The small existing Arab spaces that are accessible to the outside world is cringy, unserious, terminally online memers that ruin our image and do not represent us. Probably many of them are 4chan-ers
I don’t think it is harmful to give people the option to spaces primarily speaking about local matters and concerns, and primarily occupied by local people. It does not take away the other spaces.
We are already in an age where it is almost impossible to undo globalization, and nothing I do will prevent those who frequent mixed and international spaces (or more accurately Western dominated spaces) from doing this. It is only giving them a place that didn’t exist before for content they couldn’t post or read elsewhere.
Most of the world already has this. I don’t think Arabs having it will be harmful.
It’s not. I think you misread what I said, and I already explained to you that it isn’t. It’s to have an Internet space for Arabs. My mention of the Palestinian cause is using it to motivate people to move over to Lemmy, in light of the censorship against Arabs.
This is not meant to be an anti Israel lemmy. It is an Arab lemmy.
Yeah I was familiar with that one and spoke with the creator. Unfortunately they had trouble with adoption because r/Arabs refused to let them advertise. They also were not federated.
But they literally define which rights those are. There is no “natural” base, it’s just whichever they decided to protect (and often times even those are infringed upon)
It’s acquire bad reason imo. If anything, the resolution is very forgiving. It could literally pass and nothing absolutely change, yet they still chose to vote against it.
If someone came to me and said “someone just murdered your parents who live in another country”, and I asked for proof. Your inclination is “this guy loves to see photos of dead parents”? Or is it that “this guy wants evidence that this random stranger’s claim is true”?
I’ve heard that you should be using the appropriate stage3 archive for the profile you want to use, but what exactly are the differences between them? I’m asking this because I want to try doing a Hardened/SELinux/Musl/LLVM install, and there’s a profile for that, but not the stage3 archive. I was thinking of starting with...
From my understanding, it is okay if a stage3 archive does not exist for your target. Make sure to pick the closest one. Your approach seems right imo. I am not sure if hardened or LLVM is better though.
My understanding is that a stage3 is kind of a starting point. In many cases you can switch profiles, and all that will happen is it will just have to do more compilation to get there. Choosing the closest stage3 saves you time in that initial compile.
But some profile switches can cause trouble. For example, switching between glibc and musl may not work. But switching between, say, non-desktop to desktop is perfectly fine.
I use gentoo, so my swap is pretty large because it often compiles from source. I have it at 16 GB for my raspberry pi and 32 GB for my pc. I think I’ll be bumping up the raspberry pi to 32
This reads like the author liked the old Twitter, which I think was also very cringe. Bluesky is not promising or much better.
Unfortunately Twitter celebrities seem so starved for an alternative, that I think they’re willing to sweep their anti-zuckerberg-ism under the rug in favor of getting back that social media engagement hit. I’ve already seen it in my circles and I doubt it’s unique.
Unfortunately, I really do think threads will succeed. It is filling a void much desired by many, even if done poorly. And chances are, they’ll make it better (or at least more attractive or addicting).
With portage updating packages periodically, I am sure I will be hitting the 15% CPU threshold easily 😁😁
The process was actually pretty easy. Granted, I did not yet mess with the kernel or the boot process yet.
I’m honestly surprised how easily doable the install process was. I just created a gentoo install chroot, then replaced all the directories from the main root with ones from the gentoo chroot.
I’d gladly build lemmy from source myself. I suppose it is in the spirit of gentoo!
Any Arabs (or others) here who want to cooperate creating an Arabic Lemmy, given the recent Palestine events?

Bro have you considered that starving to death is actually okay?
Trust me bro it's 100% true (reddthat.com)
What exactly do the different types of stage3 archive do?

How much swap?
I’ve heard a lot of people say your swap should be 2x RAM… but do I really need 32GB of swap?

Successfully installed gentoo on a Oracle always-free 4xARM 24GB RAM instance!
Was able to install gentoo on a Oracle always-free instance. It has 4x ARM CPUs and 24 GB RAM. Those specs are really nice for a free instance....
