Foldersync was my move before I switched to a custom ROM, it’s proprietary but reliable and not expensive.

I would agree if they weren’t FUNDING Nazis. That’s coming out of the cost of your laptop buddy

Considering the main usage of the phrase “as left as it gets” is to denounce anyone more radical than the speaker, who is typically about as left as Mussolini, that’s too accurate

True but keep in mind Fedidb and Fedimap are opt-in, you’re probably not seeing everything, especially small stuff

Wow I had no idea this drama even existed??? Uhhh anyways use RSSHub it’s incredibly powerful. You feel like the Silver Surfer.

This is why historical materialist frameworks are required to plot anti-imperialist strategies. Marx, in his time, had limited access to statistics, and scholars often had to visit foreign libraries themselves to read a book. When statistics showed capital exports from imperialists out, it was assumed to be towards the periphery, rather than to other imperialists. This is important for understanding how the imperial core is able to delay revolution by exporting its contradictions.

No offense guys but if anarchism doesn’t account for this - and shoehorning in anticolonialism is possible but is actively drawing from Marxist revolutionaries in the periphery anyways - you are going to try to create a classless society in Israel or Canada. I would say anarchism’s lack of internationalism can even raise questions about it having the same end goal.

😿 Well I wasn’t too hasty with my expectations

Very ambitious, hope something comes of it. The focus on enhancing (?) compatibility between Lineage and the device isn’t what I expected.

PostmarketOS makes no claim that it is ready to be a daily driver, Linux phones are pretty experimental right now. That’s why there is so much tension over the custom ROMs that manage to function on such locked-down hardware

XMPP, but also Delta Chat! The Webxdc apps for Delta work in XMPP client Cheogram despite there being no cross-compatibility between the networks. It can access ordinary email servers so long as they were not set up maliciously (Apple, M$, Gmail, etc). It can do a couple things XMPP cannot, but it’s not suitable for anyone outside close friends and family. I basically only use it for email, automation, and other personal matters. XMPP is for general use and can replace Discord. The Movim project looks very cool they have a community here also join their XMPP chat. Cheogram services can connect to the regular phone network.

Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that’s the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They’ll be frank

Which fork?

Hey, I don’t speak for anyone here, but this isn’t a problem. Decentralization is a means to an end, not a desirable state in and of itself. Federated networks being separate from each other is fine. I feel this has been a critical misunderstanding among advocates of open source social media.

Honestly, best experiences I have had on ActivityPub were replacements for a group chat of 40-200 persons, not an attempted replacement for Twitter. (Also crucially not on a Mastodon fork but stuff like Akkoma.)

Since this app is clearly for some people a replacement for the general mechanics of websites like Stack Overflow, HN, and Reddit, and for other people meant to be a direct fork of specific Reddit communities, it makes sense to me that the networks would diverge completely, though it seems it hasn’t happened yet.

What really kept me from using Lemmy is the poor integration with Mastodon. It’s not a UI thing. Mbin and Kbin were a step in the wrong direction by furthrt splitting the UI between two types of posts that are the same under the hood

It was easy to summon you.

I had never read their forum threads on Fairphone and eOS until the other day. Makes me glad I ruled them out for other reasons.

Nice, I’m gonna try that. I use SingleFile.

Fairphone looks really bad after reading some of the GrapheneOS forum threads covering them. Calyx is still on hiatus over the security patch thing

Never cared for the way this fellow tries to argue that everything is too difficult to be useful. I’ve gotten plenty of friends and family on XMPP and the clients that don’t have encryption on by default are easy to remember. Really blowing it out of proportion.

Honestly, what do security researchers like this even know about normal people? They sit through all kinds of inconveniences to use Facebook. This is a thought experiment.

Some of these are valid criticisms, of course, a lot of XMPP stuff feels like it from the 2010s. It’s still the only real option. Matrix client or server is bloated garbage, theu moved server fixes into a walled garden, its development is dependent on funding from the USA National Endowment for Democracy technology fund. Signal has similar funding issues and is very shady with its centralization, trust issues, demanding phone numbers. Sets users up to leak all kinds of stuff in notifications like Matrix.

The strange insistence that only Signal meets their requirements makes me skeptical, as does the way they have operated in Github threads. They seem like an emotional nightmare to work with.

Seconding Picard. MusicBrainz is the only part of my little ecosystem where I stick my neck out and constantly broadcast all my listening activity. The suggestions are awesome.

To be fair, dissociatives can heavily alter your motor movements. Ketamine is too soupy for this. The sharp right angles are reminiscent of dextromethorphan (Robotussin), what a man of taste!
