  the reason: support for developers. You can install it yourself to save that amount.

  There’s a deGoogled version too!!

  I would prefer GrapheneOS (If I can live with the irony of getting a Pixel phone just to deGoogle it…). Sandboxing there is way better. But you lose the Repairability… Gotta check and compare the new EU metrics too.

  They are just two different devices.

  Fwiw, I’m hetero and having a girl on top feels like they have more, if not all, control.

  I never subscribed to homosexual dichotomy of tops and bottoms. Long ago, I learnt that there were “active” and “passive” roles.

  I guess it’s generational. Like “old” terms that sound antique or even “wrong”.

  Signal, yes…

  Or snikket (xmpp).

  Or delta chat (email).

  The three are good.

  I’ll probably never trust anything they’ve touched until I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again.

  Me too. But the vast majority of users need guardrails, and have a different threat model. Even those that also care about privacy, if they just want a solution that comes by default, this adtech ‘fake’ or ‘superficial’ solution does provide something. And anything is more than nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any open source tv focused os/ui?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is entirely different approach, sorry. Fwiw, I bought a wireless (2.4Ghz) keyboard that has a trackpad, and just use a zoomed-in KDE Plasma. Far from the eye candy of a kiosk, but with some customization you may achieve satisfaction (:

  Yeah. And, leave the other at home. Somehow, that mutual exclusivity between devices made me write “or”. Hehe.

  Technically, the pre-existing system could be evolutionary biology. I’m just saying that in some cases, a little bit of pedantry is enjoyable. It’s an acquired taste, maybe

  You can use alternative frontends, one way is via LibRedirect browser extension. That helps a lot, you’ll see cached copies instead so “they” don’t get to know you’re there.

  Unfortunately, many such alt frontends instances stop working from time to time (e.g. Individuos vs YouTube)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So it begins...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha! I was wondering the same. Like Trump=Stalin was there, and then I started to wonder… Wait, was there a picture with both Stalin and Trotsky? How? And, What’s this…?? Musk=Trotsky?!

  But no. It was Yezhov, chief of the secret police until he didn’t. And then there was the removal from the photo and so on…

  So the meme is on point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not use archive.org tools to have a full snapshot? It’s fulfill a similar purpose.

  Yeah… since you are asking, try not to do anything. They’re people. They like jokes too.

  Of course, all advise given in this thread is valuable, but I mean being overcautious may be the “special treatment” that is there routinely reminding them “oh you’re different”. They don’t need that. Just respect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

  Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

  I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements… Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I’d love to try their distro one day :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

  Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)
