  • Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

  • That’s why I find systems designed for high latency by being “offline-first” interesting. Sync large quantities of information when you can, then consume offline. Like Usenet and email used to be. Most things don’t actually need to be “instant”.

  • Sneakernets, my friend. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a pocket full of microsd cards traveling on the subway.

  • MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs

    Jump

  • Any entry that is changing hourly (or even monthly) is probably not a topic you should be relying on an encyclopedia entry for anyway. Use the tool for what the tool is good for.

  • The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software

    Jump

  • If you get a device and install Graphine now, it should be fine. It’s your future device options that will probably not include an AOSP alternative os. Hopefully Linux will be an option then, but there might be a bit of a dark age in between.

  • I really like Runbox. Nothing particularity fancy, just pure standards compliant email, with excellent reputation, for a very low cost. They have a “drive” too.

    There’s also mailbox.org, tuta, the upcoming “thunder mail”, proton, fast mail, probably your domain provider or VPS provider offers email as an add on. Consider paying for a email and a domain. It can be as low as $30 a year, and you become the customer instead of the product. Owning your identity.

  • Make sure you have swap enabled and it’s fine. Any file host is going to be aggressive with memory to cache all the files and metadata for quicker browsing.

  • I run Nextcloud inside a VM, running on a decade+ old Intel gen 3 computer and the interface is snappier than navigating around google drive.

    It is finickier to self-host than syncthing though, if all you need is sync. There are also tones of providers out there that will sell you Nextcloud or similar services.

  • Automation tech was also never about actually reducing humans either. Going all the way back to the broad loom, it always results in the same number of workers or greater - just that productivity (profits) increase and labour becomes de-skilled and more precarious.

  • We don’t need competition in the x86 space, we need competition in the mobile/desktop/server space. That could easily be performance competitive ARM or RISC-v or whatever. Better even with diversity of design.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

  • Texas is about to ban talking on college campuses at night. Seriously.

  • And in the intervening YEARS, selective enforcement and a culture of fear will bludgeon those kids into conformity.

  • Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer

    Jump

  • It’s pretty open. Step 1 is make income tax as painful as possible, step 2 is get rid of it in favour of tarrifs and other regressive revenue generating fees. And MAGA was already convinced that progressive taxation helped people they want hurt.

  • Mockery is an important tool against fascists and other authoritarians. It was even used effectively against Hitler. Their power is entirely projection and something needs to break the glass.

  • Flag burning incident near White House leads to arrest hours after Trump's executive order

    Jump

  • Yes, the way to push him on this would be to very publicly burn a flag in a manner that is perfectly legal otherwise. Find an official fire pit or BBQ in a public park. Scorching the sidewalk with gasoline is only going to give them an easy win when they charge you for "defacing public property," creating a danger to the public, or even arson.

  • Trump: 'A Lot of People Are Saying Maybe We'd Like a Dictator'

  • If NK can have a necrocracy, he can run a senilocracy -especially since he's basically just a figurehead for oligarchs and fascists anyway that repeats whatever the most recent person told him.

  • Trump: 'A Lot of People Are Saying Maybe We'd Like a Dictator'

    Jump

  • The fact that you care about the "average" rather than just "a lot of people" means you value democracy. He doesn't. A "lot" of people doesn't need to be a majority or even a plurality. It just needs to be the right people.

  • If the device is owned by a business, sure, IT should lock it down. If your average Joe owns his device? He should be able to break it if he wants. He owns it. This argument only serves to enrich the exploiters, not protect anyone.

  • And yet on Linux the advice seems to be never ever download directly from the developer

    That's just advice for making life easy for new people, because distro-packaged software is more likely to work well with the operating system. I run packages from devs, even nightly automated builds of stuff, all the time.
