Yeah… so, the record high inequality is just nothing to think about, because suddenly we don’t deserve to own a house for one life’s worth of work…? What a joke take
Well… no… I have been self hosting it for several years over multiple major versions now. Only for Files, Calendar and Deck though. It was a bit hard to set up, but reading the general Apache and PHP documentation helped a lot.
It’s not the meat eating that’s immoral, it’s the industrialization of meat production that is - robbing an animal of all its freedom and all its chances to actually be alive. It kills evolution. It is anti-life.
What is happening on these industrialized meat farms is utterly disgusting and will become a crime once synthetic meat production is economically viable. It’s existentially wrong beyond any morals.
This has made me to seriously consider leaving lemmy.world
Capitalism is a serious existantial threat to our ecosystem, rendering all our lives more meaningless with each passing day - all its enemies are my friends
But, however, just looking at the name… Lemmygrad, this rhetoric is just designed to hush everyone into the old trenches and that way keeping the capitalist death machine chugging along. To be the most effective, the truth of socialism has to rebranded and craftfully injected into new ideas. This is the only way forward.
I’ve been using Proton Mail and VPN for a while now, and I’m just wondering how everyone else feels about them. I have this kind of inherent alight distrust of them just because they seem like they offer a lot for free and kind of have a Big Tech vibe about them, but there’s nothing for me to really substantiate that...
That makes absolutely no sense - at the very least, this is unimplementable for an email provider.
I am trusting someone for my data. Ownership belonging to the people running it, who just want to make a living, has the meaning that our interests are better aligned than a multinational ad agency or a nation state whose subject I not even am. That relationship is more healthy, the contract is clearer and more balanced.
And you can’t even trust that - good luck finding hardware with open source schematic that is not ancient.
All processors have built-in spyware (Management Engine etc.), and that’s not going to change, since there are only a few highly sophisticated factories in the world that can make them, and the factions controlling those have no interest in producing consumer grade spyware free hardware. Modern processors have become essential for weaponry and warfare, so this is not going to change, only get worse.
I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever....
Firefox dropped support for PWA a while ago (a really sad decision, because PWA are an amazing idea… ) so just any webpage that needs to function more like an app is often more functional under Chrome. Microsoft Teams is one example.
Vivaldi!! - the company is also actively supporting the fediverse by hosting and aggressively promoting their large Mastodon server ,switch to Vivaldi!
What makes linux cool is that there are alternatives for literally anything. The fact that there is a constant debate going and people using all sorts of implementations just means that less of the system becomes a black box and more people are actually looking at and eventually working on the code. This keeps the system alive, and means it hasn’t ended up with some rotten filesystem like NTFS or a shitty Registry configuration system like windows.
The most popular distro on distrowatch is MX Linux which uses initV but has ability to run systemd services - but however, initV became 10x faster and more usable because of rewrites that were sparked by the systemd debate.
This is literally pure nerd rage energy being turned into amazing code, and it’s beautiful.
I just found my old Moto G1 phone (4.5 " screen) yesterday in a box - charged it and used it for a while for some utility apps and for listening to music and some old favorited podcast episodes that were still on its harddrive - and my god was it NICE to handle it and use. It is so light and thin… just wow.
Then I saw it had the last security update available from march 2016 and did not even dare to turn on the WiFi… But I might go back to use it for the utility apps, OTP, music, and maybe just as a phone (for days when I want to be offline but reachable).
It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...
Why would you run such a gimped operating system on a device in your own house? Or like… can’t you just get a phone with a normal system? Why does the ISP even have a say in this? Or do you have to pay them to use your own toilet too? Because that is equally as absurd
I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...
