I’m an atheist, but I would probably guess that those type of Christians aren’t real Christians at all. It seems to be common in America for people to associate “traditional family values” with Christianity. Which very basically translates to racism and homophobia. So they hide behind Christianity like they’re holyier then thou. These people aren’t Christians, their bigots with disassociative disorders. You were raised by bigots.

AI propaganda slop aside, fucking rise up already… FFS

Grayjay is hands down the best

It’s sex. She’s talking about sex.

Why are their official communities on Reddit and Discord? Why not a Mastodon or Lemmy community?

No such trouble for me, thank goodness

Can some tell me how Deezer stacks up? I switched from Spotify to Deezer a little while ago, not for any real reason, other than Spotify kept increasing their prices and I don’t really listen to audio books or podcasts even. Plus Deezer streams hifi flacs as standard so it sounds way better. I’ve got no idea how ethical they are tho, but would be interested to learn.

Edit: so I did my own research and looks like Deezer pays sightly more per stream than Spotify, but marginally…

Never mind, I’m beginning to build my local music library and self host it. I buy lots of merch and I go to gigs regularly. Once my library is substantial enough I’ll quit the streaming apps

Same. Jellyfin for media (symphonium app for music), immich for photos, nextcloud for pretty much everything else…

It’s peer to peer so it depends on what you’re concerned about. It shouldn’t raise any flags with your ISP I wouldn’t think

Gotta buy a different phone then

But like, where do I download all my games from?

I switched to GrapheneOS like 4 years ago and at first I was bummed that I could no longer tap my phone to pay. But it’s fine. I still go out with my wallet in my pocket, so it’s no problem to just tap my bank card really… I’ll take privacy over convenience thanks

Yeah, pity is not available worldwide

I just hope that the Graphene devs continue to support the last supported versions of Android that allow installing apks.

I couldn’t be happier with my P7 that has been running Graphene since day one. Zero Google. Zero problems

It’s time to start self hosting your own services people!

we need to end the surveillance economy all together. Make social media unprofitable.

THIS!

Let me firstly say that I 100% agree with all of the above. And secondly, I don’t work in tech.

But I think most of the frustration from the grey beards is possibly because they’re burnt out. They’ve probably been answering the same questions their entire life. And there comes a point when the actual answer becomes, RTFM.

I don’t agree it’s an appropriate response. The mere fact that the acronym has profanity in it suggests it’s an aggressive response.

I’ve been on forums before where, instead of saying “RTFM”, someone had just linked me to the appropriate man page… Essentially the same message, but far more helpful and a much less insulting.

In my opinion it’s not wrong to tell someone to read the manual, especially if the answer is in it, but it’s how you say it that matters.

If it works, don’t try to fix it

I cannot answer definitively, but it’s highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you’re that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn’t use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.

They can’t get rid of xmpp 😂
