Yeah... so, the record high inequality is just nothing to think about, because suddenly we don't deserve to own a house for one life's worth of work...? What a joke take

17.66$ per hour in 1983 is equal to 50$ per hour today which is just a fine salary?

Well... no... I have been self hosting it for several years over multiple major versions now. Only for Files, Calendar and Deck though. It was a bit hard to set up, but reading the general Apache and PHP documentation helped a lot.

It's not the meat eating that's immoral, it's the industrialization of meat production that is - robbing an animal of all its freedom and all its chances to actually be alive. It kills evolution. It is anti-life.

What is happening on these industrialized meat farms is utterly disgusting and will become a crime once synthetic meat production is economically viable. It's existentially wrong beyond any morals.

based.

And you can't even trust that - good luck finding hardware with open source schematic that is not ancient.

All processors have built-in spyware (Management Engine etc.), and that's not going to change, since there are only a few highly sophisticated factories in the world that can make them, and the factions controlling those have no interest in producing consumer grade spyware free hardware. Modern processors have become essential for weaponry and warfare, so this is not going to change, only get worse.

After the WhatsApp scandals, my trust in encryption is limited. I'm not a mathematician (which is a goddamn shame), and if there is a backdoor in the mathematics themselves, I wouldn't be able to catch it even if I read the source code. And there is always the possibility of decryption by quantum computers....

So where we store our data is very important, even if it is decrypted. Encryption is just a secondary defense, the primary is limiting the accessibility to the data itself. And where you store the data, and to whom you allow access, determines the accessibility

That makes absolutely no sense - at the very least, this is unimplementable for an email provider.

I am trusting someone for my data. Ownership belonging to the people running it, who just want to make a living, has the meaning that our interests are better aligned than a multinational ad agency or a nation state whose subject I not even am. That relationship is more healthy, the contract is clearer and more balanced.

This has made me to seriously consider leaving lemmy.world

Capitalism is a serious existantial threat to our ecosystem, rendering all our lives more meaningless with each passing day - all its enemies are my friends

But, however, just looking at the name... Lemmygrad, this rhetoric is just designed to hush everyone into the old trenches and that way keeping the capitalist death machine chugging along. To be the most effective, the truth of socialism has to rebranded and craftfully injected into new ideas. This is the only way forward.

So, good riddance I say!

Fastmail looks nice in terms of features/cost - it is also owned by the people who run it, which is a big green flag.

But I am in the same boat, looking for a new service, haven't made a switch yet

but better than Brave

The commenter I replied to was specifically asking for chrome based.

Isn't culture quite literally.... patterns... of ... behaviour??

Vivaldi!! - the company is also actively supporting the fediverse by hosting and aggressively promoting their large Mastodon server ,switch to Vivaldi!

Firefox dropped support for PWA a while ago (a really sad decision, because PWA are an amazing idea... ) so just any webpage that needs to function more like an app is often more functional under Chrome. Microsoft Teams is one example.

What makes linux cool is that there are alternatives for literally anything. The fact that there is a constant debate going and people using all sorts of implementations just means that less of the system becomes a black box and more people are actually looking at and eventually working on the code. This keeps the system alive, and means it hasn't ended up with some rotten filesystem like NTFS or a shitty Registry configuration system like windows.

The most popular distro on distrowatch is MX Linux which uses initV but has ability to run systemd services - but however, initV became 10x faster and more usable because of rewrites that were sparked by the systemd debate.

This is literally pure nerd rage energy being turned into amazing code, and it's beautiful.

I just found my old Moto G1 phone (4.5 " screen) yesterday in a box - charged it and used it for a while for some utility apps and for listening to music and some old favorited podcast episodes that were still on its harddrive - and my god was it NICE to handle it and use. It is so light and thin... just wow.

Then I saw it had the last security update available from march 2016 and did not even dare to turn on the WiFi.... But I might go back to use it for the utility apps, OTP, music, and maybe just as a phone (for days when I want to be offline but reachable).

Some Androids have extremely long support times, like the Fairphone. But as a general rule, yes, this is true. Unless you buy a Fairphone, or a model that is supported by Linage and root it, you're losing software updates after just 2 years, which is insane.

Why would you run such a gimped operating system on a device in your own house? Or like... can't you just get a phone with a normal system? Why does the ISP even have a say in this? Or do you have to pay them to use your own toilet too? Because that is equally as absurd

If you turn off history, it is very important and definitely shows in your Home feed, actually, it is the no.1 reason to turn off history
