This. It’s all incremental to me. No I can’t be 100% free of big tech and surveillance, etc etc - but how much of my data has Google not gotten since I started paying for private email 5 years ago or so?
(Not much cause everyone else refuses to leave Gmail behind 😂 but all I can do is keep moving myself in that direction.)
I hate that I want this lol
“Inequality is the lifeblood of capitalism”
Liberals are still capitalists, and therefore pro-slavery.
Misleading. He got about the same vote count as last time. He didn’t win, Harris lost by running as a Republican in service to capital.
I have a girlfriend now after two years single, so that’s pretty chill. 🤷
I don’t use it but I have a self hosted llama instance that works alright.
Nothing makes me realize I left my glasses at home quite like this post. 🤣
They’re engaged in one activity and not the other.
It’s pretty dummy friendly. Accept that some things may not work or will work differently (Most notably tap to pay is a no go AFAIK,) and be willing to learn if something comes up would probably be how I describe it. The only problem that might turn up that an app that you need doesn’t pass gOS’ security checks, but there’s an app level setting to lessen security restrictions if it’s something you NEED.
Otherwise, meh? Flashing back to stock is super easy via a google web tool if you don’t like it. (I had to for a trip, Ticketmaster was being wonky and all my shows were ticketmaster haha. I’ve never had a problem before with the Ticketmaster app so IDK if it’s an ongoing thing or not)
I look forward to watching the federal govt give 5mil to newly formed X Research to determine if Christianity should be taught in school as the one true religion.
Doesn’t sound sad to me 🤷♂️
Is Voyager a mobile app? Would it completely hide comments? Connect seems to have killed .world posts but just put a “view” button over comments.
A newer neighbor across the street from me started flying a Trump flag, and it’s taking everything in me to not find a Femboy Supremacy flag to hang up somewhere.
Some quick info on American duopoly, since you aren’t here-
Voting Democrat isn’t voting against Republican policies, it’s voting against them NOW and getting them 5-10 years later once they’ve let the Overton window shift and Republicans are crazier. That’s the cliffs notes of how we got here - Democrats have been arguing for at least 10, probably 20 years, that (however worded at the time) leftists are the problem and use that to move further right to court “centrists” who are just Republicans who don’t want the social blowback, giving Republicans the room to pull further into the extreme right. Democrats of year X are basically just Republicans of year X-10.
“Well if you don’t vote Dem you can’t get change!” You already can’t now. they’re half of the two parties who move the goalposts anytime a third party looks like they’ll meet the requirements for inclusion, and they (the DNC) went to court in 2016 to have it legally ruled that their charter is bullshit and as a private entity they can do what they want - voters and donors be damned.
Democrats pay lip service to Trump only because they don’t have a platform without “we aren’t them.” Democrats spend more time and energy bullying leftists for not being onboard than they do trying to beat Republicans. For at least 10 years now, they love to blame us for all their woes, but instead of adjusting policy to capture those voters they move farther right because “it’s the left’s fault we lost.” It’s an intentional cycle to forever justify sprinting rightward and to always have a scapegoat instead of admitting they aren’t in sync with voters.
TLDR: Everyone claims blue MAGA are the saviors and the only ones who can save us, but they don’t do fuckshit to stop the rise of fascism because they’re also fascist, just with a smile. A vote for Dems isn’t a vote against fascism, it’s a vote for fascism in 4-8 years when all the Dem voters will root for it and call anybody who disagrees the enemy (Like they’re already doing now.)
But I was assured this only happened on ml instances and .world was a blistering Wild West of ultimate free speech 🤔
(As long as you don’t dislike Nazis, thats what got me banned from the instance)
I dont disagree but that doesn’t change the fact that A- taxes are a thing and therefore a cost that has to be factored in, and B- Even if we fix the tax system it would still be a necessity.
Fixing broken systems is important and WOULD help people find housing, but arguing for utopia or bust is only going to let things get worse as you bicker about the details of municipal spending (which again I do agree on but we ALSO need to work within the system we have now to help people for whom this isn’t theoretical internet banter…)
If you were being censored we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Y’all mistake “censorship” with “moderation” and I bet if i went to your favorite communities with the same energy y’all go to ml instances with I’d get moderated too (but you’d cheer when THEY do it of course.)
I actually got it to run reasonably on a mini PC in a docker container, but my setup also lets me use CPU power as a psuedo GPU.
