man these AI fanatics are cringe

why on earth do font pack upgrades need to be part of full system updates.

i do not know where you get that impression. antisemitism, conspiracy theories and general racism are soooo common if you just browse one of the public feeds on primal, ditto etc. not to mention like 1 in 5 posts are just bitcoin posting.

we do have instances of fascist chuds on ActivityPub, but they’re at least a little less easy to run into if you go to our equivalent of a public firehose like mastodon.social.

i will say there’s parts of the nostr protocol i prefer over ActivtyPub, but you’ll never catch me anywhere near that nazi bar

gugal being a bit frugal with their releases

applications run under Termux will have direct access to the phone (though heavily locked down). the Linux terminal being introduced to android runs in a VM which is more secure, but which comes with a certain level of performance overhead

what’s your setup for this out of interest? are you running a Dev environment under tmux or something? 🤔

and that’s bad why?

I disagree, the judge declared the sentence time hinged on the girl being the ringleader of the two and specifically targeting the victim (at least partially) out of transphobia. it was only the cops that said it wasn’t related to transphobia, and frankly the cops in this country have a shite reputation for being transphobic themselves so chances they’d look over that are high.

news aside, dear lord there are some serious american imperialism shills in this thread

even if they are only “pushing”, there will still need to be profile data exchanged with Threads in order to access it, if they have http signatures enabled (i.e. authorized fetch under mastodon)

impressive! got a source code link for those of curious?

damn, your mom was quite prophetic

* America poses the biggest danger to the world in 2024

of course it has to be westernized …

i can understand harm reduction in picking your vote, but that should totally go out the window after the genocide Biden actively endorsed and enabled. and i’m saying this as a trans person, someone that stands to lose out fairly substantially if republicans gains power.

if your “harm reduction” is voting for a genocide endorser then something is clearly wrong, and you need steer the fuck away from the polls and into some direct action (if you’re not already).

i distrohopped a lot until i landed on Void, then i just stayed because it does everything i need, it’s fast, understandable, easily tweakable, and rock solid

Pixel 4 is a good choice imo, it’s what I’m currently using. It has a Snapdragon 855 with 6GB RAM which is very speedy day-to-day. Face unlock which works even in pitch black. Camera is great, even compared to current generation phones. it’s end-of-life from Google but it’s still officially supported by LineageOS and gets lots of commits.

it has a 5.7" screen, though with it having minimal bezels most of that is height so it’s not a big wide phablet type thing.

if you already have alternatives in mind I’d ignore my advice, but otherwise you’ll probably find it difficult getting still supported devices with displays in the 3-4" range unfortunately, just the way the market seems to have gone with phone designs :/

Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Microsoft, OpenAI are top of my list simply due to being aware of them.

though I’m sure most large tech corps have blood on their hands in some way or another, doing “well” under capitalism demands exploitation.

Firefox actually has surpassed Chrome recently in benchmarks

I’d loved Anandtech in the past, for how they used to be. hadn’t heard of those other numbers 2,3,4 before, thanks for posting them!
