Android and Windows vs iOS and MacOS

So, are Apple operating systems actually considerably better in terms of privacy? I’ve been considering making the switch for both privacy and security reasons, but I’m not really sure it’s worth the cost and hassle. I’m currently on an iPhone (recently switched because I had a Pixel 7 with… issues, but that’s longer...

PopOfAfrica,

I find them all to be too intrusive for my tastes. I use Graphene OS and Linux.

I'm clamoring for the day we get a proper Mobile Linux environment that hasn't been coopted by Google

PopOfAfrica,

Ever since I started using Feedbin as an RSS client my internet life has gotten tlma better. Can be self hosted too.

PopOfAfrica,

I really think a lot of us are starting to realize how unhealthy reddit was for us. This is just a much more friendly and less overwhelming community.

Hello from Lemmy, btw

PopOfAfrica,

They want the benefits of federation with none of the negatives or obligations.

PopOfAfrica,

If more instances had down voting, we could self moderate in that way.

PopOfAfrica,

I don't really think moderation is going to be possible with the fediverse. Its lack of centralized power is literally it's entire thing

PopOfAfrica,

I would happily pay for Youtube if they didn't still scrape my data and sell it to the highest bidder.

PopOfAfrica,

An anti establishment, anti corporation platform functioning off of decentralized power and FOSS technology?

What about that sounds communist?

Lemmy makes "all" interesting

I never in a million years would go to r/all because i knew i would never find a new sub to read in all that mess. However, now on monero.house the "all" tab actually has stuff of interest that i would not have seen if i just looked at my subs. My guess is because we are interested tangentially in the same sorts of things. So a...

PopOfAfrica,

Don't you miss reposts and low effort content though?

PopOfAfrica,

At the moment, just a Plex server, but would love to migrate to Jellyfin eventually.

The Plex ads and bloat are really starting to get to me.

PopOfAfrica,

This is where I am at. Hopefully this all gets solved with more users. The experience otherwise is pretty great.

We need more people and better is all.

PopOfAfrica,

I'm really liking it. Less negative and Vapid than Reddit.

All it really needs is a peer to peer popular section between instances so we can have a true front-page.

PopOfAfrica,

Federation is a largely left leaning, anti capitalist idea for the internet.

Reminds me of the recent drama around Linus Torvald being left leaning. Like, yeah, that's what Linux is.

PopOfAfrica,

Now I will say, while I ampersonallly a communist, I'm on the libertarian side.

No patience for tankies.

PopOfAfrica,

Jak II emulated. Hard as hell, but really fun.
