I can think of two fairly active potential homes for that content: Showerthoughts, which is for random trains of thought that you think others might relate to. Lemmy Be Wholesome is for content that you feel elevates people’s moods, is supportive, shares good vibes and so on.
The app seems fairly small in size compared to orbot which is really old and also invizible pro seems to do a ton of things that including firewall vpn etc . So does it connect to tor network properly and pass all your traffic through it as good as orbot and completely block internet acces to not whitelisted services as good as...
When I saw the title WTF Happened In 1971? I thought of January 1st, 1970 the well-known and recurring date in the computer world,(Ken Thompson, UNIX and so on). And I kinda hoped this would be about how the mass production of computers and its use worldwide had introduced the first step of a collapse of planet Earth. But no, looking at the HN comments it appears to be about Nixon, money, economy and the USA.
Snikket launched their XMPP hosting in March this year. From the looks of it you can pay for one account where you’d be admin for a group of friends, family and give them accounts.
For Android Conversations is really nice I think. Conversations is available for free on F-Droid but you can support the developer by buying the app on Google PlayStore. Does OMEMO by default.Video calls with Conversations always worked very well for me (but this depends on which XMPP provider the other person uses), better than Signal. There are some Conversation forks on F-Droid as well with different features.
With XMPP you can self-host a server or you can have your own custom domain hosted with XMPP via the Conversations developer. Signal is a centralized service in the USA, hosted on Google servers. And yes, one more app on the phone will cost more battery life.
Nah i am German, so imho I have every right to be majorly pissed off by religion being so invasive that they even enforce taxes unless you take your time and fucking pay money to officially leave the church so you don’t have to pay those cults any money anymore
Organized religion has no respect for anyone, organized religion is the single most horrible thing that ever happened to humanity and organized religion is solely responsible for billions of deaths throughout history, way too many fucking wars and so much blocking of innovation.
Religion doesnt respect women, lgbtq, mentally disabled, people who don’t want to be indoctrined to follow a cult member and, of course, members of other religions.
Tempting to say “Amen” to your comment, but let’s say I full agree! What’s more, there’s countless people killing other people in the name of their God (Why can people not agree that there’s just one God, one friendly one, or be free to believe there is none) or being super aggressive and abusive in name of their super special God. Religion has done so much damage for centuries :(
People should think for themselves! (Yes, Monty Python’s Life of Brian resonates here.)
I know this is the “wrong answer” but I have always used Twitter to keep tabs on local government agencies, newspapers, reporters, restaurants, bars, events, concerts, sports teams, etc. Not to mention all the accounts that pertain to my hobby’s and interests.
Yes, it’s a problem. Even several open source projects use Tw(X)tter as their main outlet. A few years ago one project even used it to share an important security update! They must have posted it in their Discourse forum as well but I don’t visit that often. I stumbled upon the important post by coincidence with Nitter (Nitter is declared dead since a few months). Since then, lesson learned, I use some notification.
Really, the right answer here for my needs is that all these groups need to join the fediverse. I just don’t see that happening.
Agreed. Some people stay there because “everyone is there”, or their favorite VIPs are there, or people stay there because they think they should fight the bad things that happened to it from within :/ Sad.
Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.
That would be cool.Governments, at least in the country where I live in, need to make an effort to be transparent and reach out to their citizens without creating insurmountable barriers.Start an on-line petition and getting people to sign it, and share with the local government ?
We did not make a technical choice to abandon FreeBSD in favor or something else, we made an organizational choice to abandon external hosting in favor of owned and operated hosting which required a lot of technical changes, one of which was switching operating systems.
Gnome is great, and I commend the devs for having the bollocks to come out and say “No, we don’t think Microsoft perfected OS UX in the early 90s”, and do something different that works well, despite knowing the amount of hatred and even death threats they’d get for the change.
Good to read your take on that bit of history, thanks. On one computer where I have GNOME, it is really nice and comfortable for what I use it for.
I got a spare RPi3. Seems the hardware support is great, even with wifi. RTC seems to be unsupported tho. Such a shame since I got a DS3231 just for the Pi.
What’s DS3231 ?
How’s your overall experience?
So far I’ve only been using ssh to log in to the FreeBSD stick on the pi4, and have been testing it with a GELI encrypted USB disk to explore that and learn some more, besides using LUKS with Linux. I have been thinking about making desktop backups to the Geli disk via rsync. I find it interesting to learn some more internals of BSD again (like years ago). For example in Linux the default command to check your own local IP address is ip. The command ifconfig has been deprecated on Linux. But on FreeBSD and iirc OpenBSD it is - tada! - ifconfig. I’m curious to have a look at Bastille given enough time.
I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. (lemmy.ml)
