Lol. Its called horizontal integration and would be outlawed in any fair society. Fuck apple, fuck capitalism.

Welp. Its actually very in line with the late stage capitalist system. All polish, no innovation.

How is that programmer humor of all things and how does that need ai?

Hahaha okay troll. You know very well that you can use lemmy wherever you want. A huge portion of lemmy users are just lurking. Every service on this planet that doesnt mass troll its users has an entry barrier for that exact reason. Good luck with that idea.

They’re not. One can join any instance they like. But its like “what brand of toilet paper is someone to buy when they move out?” Thats for you to figure out. Ask someone, try a couple and settle for what helps you most.

That said, account migration would be nice although the possible issues are pretty brutal. An account is mostly a bunch of posts, comments and subscriptions. Reposting them would be fatal, relinking them would be dangerous. Only the subscriptions would be easy to move and i think that exists already.

I see your point. But imo its technically not really feasible.

Android is not open source in its final form. The base is open source. First step to privacy is checking if you can use something like lineageos or graoheneos. They both include android open source project (aosp) as a base and build on top. Graphene only works on pixel phones and lineage has a variety of phones you can put it on. Dont install play services and use fdroid for most apps. Some apps you will need aurora (play store but anonymous) which is a last resort.

I use fennec on lineageos which works quite well. I have ublock (recommend) and noscript (optional because pretty drastic).

Let me know if you need more help.

No, not once. I’ve got ablot of issues due to nobody giving a shit when I was young making the tiniest effort to get shit diagnosed and properly taken care of. On top it was out of pure naivety due to the belief that if youre not diagbosed its not true and partly science denial.

1. There are efforts to build emoloyee owned businesses around the world
2. The system is pitted towards accumulation through antisocial behavior which is absent in democratic companies, hence they’re disadvantaged
3. Communists and anarchists are revolutuonists, not reformists. The reason is that reform makes the inherently cruel system easier to bear and abolishment less likely.
4. Some want to go the reformist route to try if it is actually achievable
5. Most importantly and very evident in the US: 100 yrs of reform can be rolled back in one day. We’re seeing that reform is pointless.

Leave meta services and delete your accounts. You’re welcome.

Then kindly use something else.

Not interested enough to support corpo media please post it on peertube if you can. but from the headline: yikes! And I thought they were done with the most vile political idiocy.

This is as inspiring as it is terrifying.

After many careers and much money earned and spent, I now try to go by „ikigai“. Its a japanese theory and teaches you to be aware of what it is that you want, what makes you money, what the world needs and what you‘re good at, basically. This is how I went from a very well paid but soul sucking job to a lesser paid but much more fulfilling work.

For me it was building computers and the stuff around it. Its fun and it makes decent money if done right.

Good luck!

There you have sections leftist and fascist extremism and numbers to go along. Leftist crimes are around 4k, fascist around 23k iirc in the recent past (2023)

Germany in the meantime: „leftist extremism is threatening the democratic system“ [quote from the constitution protection agency] while fascist crimes outnumber them 5 to 1. All that while the EU keeps trying to sneak chatcontrol by us through the backdoor, again and again.

I dont have that much hope for our world tbh.

i can see how this would be an interesting function. sadly, we’re, nowhere near an end user ready experience in any non corporate messenger. it very much still depends on how tech savvy the user and how good the admin is. until that changes I’m gonna unilaterally say no to reinventing any wheels and say fix the stuff we have before adding more functionality.

Its not more open source. It is at all. Signal is dependent on the backend which is as proprietary as bluesky. You can absolutely not self host it which technically binds you to the next single point of failure.

Some use open source alternatives since signal still has the off switch to your communication. I personally use matrix for over a year and its pretty good. But its not polished so you need patience and a good admin.

im daily driving the pinetime on a postmarketos phone. it is glorious. but you kinda need to want to stick it to the man for maximum pleasure because thats whst youre doing. thats how it feels to me anyway.

Neat. I didnt know but it makes sense I guess.
