Me when people who knowingly feed the Leviathan are eaten by it:

I mean, I know phones can be cheap or donated. And I also know that homeless people may have possessions that some consider “expensive”. It’s not that uncommon.

But constant internet connection needs monthly payments that, in my very personal and particular mindset, are not really compatible with “I’m a beggar. I need help”.

Having knowledge of the Fediverse it’s too niche for me, and the stories like “I can’t pay groceries!” almost every week are unlikely in a place where most of folks are tech workers. My spam-meter says that probably some people out there found the #mutualaid hashtag and are making some fake profiles and fake stories.

I just mute all of them.

It may be my “3rd world syndrome” but to me, someone with internet access and a social media account who post regularly, is not in poverty. More likely a spambot.

My local beggar, in contrast, is a sincere person who tells me that he just want some cheap boxed wine or something to smoke. Refuses food or any kind of help. Cash only.

Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends.

A bit obsolete this thing about “owning” a bike. Bike subscriptions are way more convenient!

Also it’s harder to track you when you are using this old-fashioned “dumb” bike.

Investing money in ways to lower the retirement age, or at least stopping it to get higher.

Or give money to nvidia.

The choice is clear for this great leader.

The worst enemy of a leftie are other slightly different lefties lol

The good think of federation is that you can mute/block morons. And because there’s no “algorithm” you are not shown content that the server thinks you are interested. So you have to be proactive and follow what you want to see, and mute the ones you dislike.

Also, you can have multiple accounts for multiple purposes. It’s sane not to discuss politics with other people from other cultures all day, so you can have a dedicated account for that. And other account to have fun in a sane way, which includes muting politics.

In the case of this girl, she was american like the majority of lemmings I believe. But for people from the other hemisphere, the cultural shock may be even worse. My advice for those is always: Just mute. Don’t argue and don’t feed trolls. Nobody is gonna change opinions anyways.

2025 will be the year of Linux RISC-V desktop!!

I though the same. This is a cool example of “public service” via snac.

I don’t believe small lithium batteries can explode like that. Not even big car batteries explode like that. They make a big fire but not this kind of explosion.

Either explosives were implanted somehow by IDF in the supply chain, or Hezbollah is crazy enough to put explosives there, just in case the devices fall in enemy hands, and IDF learned that and trigger the explosions remotely.

me before reading this: I know the basics of CSS.

me after reading this: I know nothing about CSS.

git is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.

Put some git fetch in a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.

Everywhere, except India, it’s about 3%.

With India the average is a bit more than 4%.

My tomatoes: I don’t have enough room in the pot. I’ll just die.

Other people’s tomatoes:

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the artillery noise.

As a spanish/romance speaking person: ahahahah LOL!

Where do you thing “gratis” and “libre” come from?

Wait.

Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.

Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.

Well, thank you for pointing me to this project. Didn’t know about it. I’ve just built it. So, the part of I’ll do my best to see what can I help with applies here to.

The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD “thEy” t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

So I’ll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

And for the folks who are saying “wHy n0t rUst”, you can always show me the (rust) code.

VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborated”.

You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.
