Say you’re a control freak without saying you’re a control freak 🤣

Sounds like the war on general-purpose computation manufacturing

It’s actually surprisingly easy to do on a OnePlus 5T. I did it after cleaning out the port wasn’t good enough anymore (my phone was bought secondhand/refurb, and I also recently replaced the battery too ^. - overall the cost of both endeavours including the cheapo kit to get the thing open in the first place was on the order of £25, though I did lose the two screws for the USB port that connext it to the bottom, still works fine with the other two internal screws though 🤣).

Eventually secondhand parts will stop being available on ebay, but for now its all good ;p. Though if your screen breaks it’s probably not worth it to replace, that part alone seems to be half the secondhand-price of a lot of phones all on it’s own >.<

I don’t think you understand anarchism.

That’s one of the advantages with p2p-ish networks, if you’re on the same network, devices can often disover each other and communicate directly, bypassing the bottleneck of an internet connection like traditional cloud services have ^.

All the old Soviet blocks have individual ownership of each apartment in it, and the buildings are maintained by groups of people who own the apartments in that building (I forgot the word, not a native English speaker, sorry. But basically like a union out of each owner in the building, there’s monthly meetings to decide stuff etc).

The word you’re looking for is probably “cooperative”

We need i2p or veilid torrents ASAP, to protect uploaders and downloaders. One of the main reasons people don’t seed is the threat of lawsuits.

Depends on how radical we’re talking.

On the less radical side - UBI, donations, contracts for creation of art that people want even if it’s not copyrighted afterward, Convenience Factor (often used by FOSS projects), and also the fact that a lot of art is created and intended for free redistribution anyhow ^.

On the more radical side: re-examining our entire concept of work and labour and rent, decentralused gift economies, automation, the destruction of capitalist structures as a whole, etc.

Absolutely based af :)

They actually also have an onion service: https://proton.me/tor

They should probably use the Onion-Location extension http header though, imo.

When I accessed their front page through tor,it did not auto-redirect to onion >.<, even though I have that setting enabled.

Thanks ^.

I have a very shitty notebook this is likely to be very useful for ;p

How does this compare to zswap. For me, if you still want a swap device on a real disk, this might be better? Idk >.<

Edit: arch has zswap enabled by default https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap - someone below says it is better if you have zswap when you already have a swap device :)

And it’s a good thing. Fuck proprietary software 😎

The absolute contempt for human life and dignity in this comment :/

Exactly. Poland itself is pretty damn far-right, and while they might be helping Ukraine and Ukrainians, this doesn’t mean their government is not borderline fascist. Someone else below (@TimeNaan@lemmy.world) provided this link documenting some severe human rights abuses against lots of migrants (some of these are also from the Belarus side too, it’s not just Poland).

Any situation in which a state denies access to people watching for such abuses - like this - is one that sends immediate and severe warning signs to me. Combined with the other stuff going on around LGBT+ free zones, well, it’s worrying imo >.<

Some of this stuff is even worse than what I’ve heard of the US/Mexico border, though it’s all pretty horrific.

libreoffice is local, MS office is not doing local.

Constantly reading about this kind of stuff is taking a toll on my mental health tbh. The worst thing is the lack of people fighting back, organising, etc., or at least the lack of reports on it ;-;

The constant hatred with no apparent opposition is kinda fucking me up, and just ignoring it is, for me, a major part of the problem. I don’t want to shove my head in the sand nor do I really want other people to even if in the short term it might be slightly beneficial >.<, because in the long term I think it helps these things get more traction and lowers any visible opposition.

(I live in the uk and there’s similar legislative attacks happening here)

You might like something called Syncthing. It’s a FOSS data replication thing that doesn’t store stuff on other people’s servers but if you have a computer or some other place you want to throw files, it can keep things synchronised with your phone, without any cloud storage crap ^.

Multi-source electric grids with cross-continental HVDC go brrrr
