no vulcanoes aren't a location with thinner crust, but a place where a bubble of magma is stuck in the crust, because of a hotspot or because of subduction or other reasons. When the pressure is too high, or there are forces that push the magma upwards, it "leaks" some magma, some times violently, some times no, like in Hawaii. An inactive volcano probably has a bubble without enough pressure to release it, and that has no upward forces nor a way of building more pressure.
The problem is not state socialism, it's the authoritarian side of it. Tankies promote authoritarian views similar to fascists but with a different economics view (not even that different some times), hence they prefer the dictatorships like USSR (in these days even Putin, which is idiotic), North Korea, China; over what they perceive as imperialist, the USA (I agree on calling it imperialistic and disliking it, but not on considering it worse than dictatorships).
I'm a communist which likes state socialism, but what is and was present in those dictatorship (ignoring the authoritarian side which I despise) is state capitalism.
Not really, communism is about owning the produce of your work, that can be achieved in different ways, one for example (the main one) is by democratising the work place, which at the moment is run in a feudal and authoritarian manner. Where you work and your employer owns what you do, similar to how the feudal system would function.
In this case communism would be more democratic than our current system.
Hey #FOSS friends, do any of y’all have experience with either KaiOS or /e/ OS smartphones in the USA? I’m looking a for a less-corporate option for very privacy-sensitive friend. I’m open to other options for locking down mainstream iOS or Android phones if all else fails. THANK YOU! #KaiOS#eFoundation#eOS#privacy#security
Hello! My smartphone is dying, so I’ll soon have to buy a new one. I’d like my new phone to have pure Android, without all the apps that manufactures install. Ideally I’d like to remove the majority of Google services too, but there are some that I can’t replace yet, so I’m still dependent on, like google maps. What...
We’re excited to share that Framework Laptop 16 pre-orders are now open, with configurations powered by the latest AMD Ryzen™ CPUs and AMD Radeon™ GPUs!
@frameworkcomputer Welp when are you available in Italy? I have been following you from before the 13 released, I don't need a new laptop right now, but the old one is getting more broken each day. I hope I'll be able to buy a 16.
Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based....
Yeah there are schematics from framework, I don't think they are full though. But last thing I heard was from a while ago, so they may be more complete nowadays.
Hey everyone, I recently learned about Aurora Store, a platform that allows you download Play Store apps even if you don’t have Google services, like on Graphene OS. I’m curious if there’s any benefit to using it on my non-rooted device. Any thoughts?
The European Commission today decided it is safe for personal data to be transferred from the European Union to US-based companies, handing a victory to firms like Facebook and Google despite protests from privacy advocates who worry about US government surveillance.
as I said, you can buy a Fairphone that isn't degoogled, the degoogled version is an option is not mandatory. If you have those requirments but still want to use a Fairphone, you can buy one that fullfills them.
I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I’ll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)
Protonmail + Duckduckgo's email service, which links to a preexistent email (proton in my case) and allows you to clear trackers from emails and to use randomly generated email adresses.
Edit: only now realized that you asked for client, welp, I use proton's client, but I've been considering using thunderbird lately

Reddit’s 2023 r/Place turned into a battleground for dunking on the CEO (www.polygon.com)
I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.
Smartphones with "pure" Android

Why is this so hard? (lemmy.world)
They all seem to have pro’s and con’s, not really sure why I have such a hard time choosing
System76 or Framework laptop?
