Seriously considering if we should have a MLK quote bot

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. (lemmy.sdf.org)

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

Can I skip updates?

I have LineageOS installed on my phone and it has almost weekly updates. Since the device is quite budget, I believe its memory can be damaged by such often updates so I’m not updating it for 2 months already. But there are security fixes and patches in newer versions so I do want to update. My question is: do I have to...

My brother had a Motorola from 2014 until 2020. I gave a friend a smartphone from 2017 that I used daily until 2022 and he’s using it now. I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Also, the updates are weekly. I think they ship the latest commit or something, so skipping a few may not be a big deal.

Edit: answering the question, yes, you only need to download the latest

Fr if I turn on my laptop with a monitor connected, the taskbar will be on the monitor, regardless of the settings, every time. Also Bluetooth definitively died.
I’ve been thinking of switching distros for a while, maybe a fresh install helps?

Any tips on how to map a standard modern controller to this ...thing (hexbear.net)

Two d-pads, one analog stick, three triggers and two face buttons? What were they smoking in Kyoto in the early 90s stalin-stressed I have only seen a Nintendo 64 in real life like twice back in the 90s so I have no clue what all these buttons do in most games....

Map it like the GC controller did: Middle stick is left stick, yellow buttons are right stick, A B is whatever you like, triggers are triggers, and Z is another shoulder button

What were they smoking in Kyoto in the early 90s

The hardware engineers on the N64 were the dankest of the decade. Only rivaled by PS2 and PS3 engineers

My cryptography professor is a fucking turbolib

He spent easily 45 minutes talking about how we don’t appreciate our “democracy” and how China was le evil communist dictatorship in which people are at the mercy of the see see pee and you could get disappeared if you weren’t friendly to them. Also mentioned how “Hitler was elected democratically” and the CPSU had...

Don’t forget Holodomor, truly a classic

Agreed. And also, it’s very old. There are forks of Signal with no proprietary blobs, outside of Google Play (which wouldn’t matter anyway since Google can’t tamper with the builds distributed). Gotta say the part where you have to use your mobile phone does suck, instead of having a random ID like Jami does.

And about this post, decentralizing Signal wouldn’t do much. There are no fully open source implementations, and if you hosted your own instance, you’d have to pay up for AWS and use some proprietary libraries, so you could get unwanted attention.

Was fascism ever destroyed without external intervention and without revolution?

I was wondering if there are instances where the fascist were banished, without having to rely on foreign army? For example, hijacking the fascist party with leftist sympathizers, or indirectly threatening the stability of the government by using fascist-handbook reactionary provocations? Or something like using economic arms to...

A peaceful “transition” where they kept the francoist police, judges, military and politicians in power. No reparations were paid, no executioners went on trial, everything stayed materially the same. Nowadays it’s a struggle to even dig up the mass graves and identify the victims, which the government is supposed to help with, but barely any money is ever allocated to do so.

It was a transition alright, but only to a bourgeois democracy, that ultimately represents the same interests from 50 years ago.

And I’m saying nothing substantially changed, still a hellhole

Fuck off with smug reply. If you’re fine with fascists and the pointless spectacle that covers for them, just say it out loud.
