This can mean anything, it’s possible they wanted just 1 platform so that their expertise is focused. And android being a little more open may have been seen (biased) as a disadvantage (i.e. enemies are more prone to find a vulnerability). We can argue with it. It’s like the counterpart of people thinking that open source is per default more safe because of being open source… It’s a correlation that can’t prove anything…

I know. But I can’t find the humor in imagining a pool with fire. Also, in spanish we would say “on” instead of “in” to apply the secons meaning. Or at leas to me that’s how it would really mean that there’s fire at the pool: “la pileta esta en llamas” vs. “hay llamas en la pileta”.

Anyway… I am just an overthinker…

“Cuidado, hay llamas!” … I don’t get it.

And I wouldn’t say the use here is just a swearword. Saying Iran is under a fascist regime should unite us to identify a problem, the suffering of their population. Do not allow semantics to be one another reason why we are fighting among us, the people with radical decency.

Since when are we getting so heated debates about fascism? Trump has ICE, and no one discussed if he wasn’t facist before that. Learn to see the cues. Elimination of competing political rivals is just one aspect.

Plus, if we were to look for a definition, might as well take one that accounts for understanding that facist regimes are, beyond all, a process. See for example the text by George Orwell: ‘What is Fascism?’ (1944)

By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.

But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway. To say why would take too long, but basically it is because it is impossible to define Fascism satisfactorily without making admissions which neither the Fascists themselves, nor the Conservatives, nor Socialists of any colour, are willing to make. All one can do for the moment is to use the word with a certain amount of circumspection and not, as is usually done, degrade it to the level of a swearword.

Are you saying that any other instances are tolerant with Nazis/ Facism? Do any of these other instances host Nazi/ Facist communities too? If you were able to elaborate, I’m certain many people would be interested into knowing which communities or instances to de-federate (e.g. like many admins already did to hexbear).

PS. I can’t find it now, but there was a website like https://lemmyverse.net/ that showed the top instances that were defederated from the rest, and some “4chan-like” scene was around… if anyone remember which website I am talking about and could share, it would be great too. Thanks

One should pick them based on their rules. Other than that, I like piefed. But there aren’t many active instances tho.

Thanks. Sure it is. But I will call this a feature now ;)

So, which one of you is a Libra? Xddd

For some reason, my version of syncthing-fork is old and source is not even on f-droid anymore. Was there any other before catfriend1? Perhaps I downloaded APK from GitHub… Can’t recall.

Owncloud Infinite Scale is a rewrite of owncloud that seems right to me. Hopefully we are going to see something similar. This press release says almost nothing of their plans… to me it’s making them look just worse.

Imho, a Linux phone would help. Banning encryption is only possible because of GAFAM and their tie over “our” devices. Like android phones loosing sideloading. Meanwhile snikket.org would be a very illegal app in such dystopian future.

Arch linux ARM (the base of such steam os) has existed for a while now. Not to diminish Valve efforts, just putting in some context.

Yeah, I was very surprised to see the only upgrade is a generous storage from 512 GiB to 2 TiB… I would rather build my own PC, spend a little extra, cover other needs I have (zfs pool for videos), and get a good GPU that I can always replace for a newer one in a few years… But of course, that’s just me. That new GPU could easily cost as much as the Steam Machine itself, hehe. Of course, it would be way more powerful…

Fwiw, GOG has no DRM for their titles (its own niche space, not competition). Not sure if they charge 30% too, but even in such case they’re giving you more because of the lack of DRM.

Steam is quite virtuous, they gave us Proton. But is far from being based.

I was thinking on hosting a static site, renting my own VPS. I always write in markdown, so pandoc would suffice (even if it were just a starting point…) Since I’d be using markdown, the content is highly transferable (e.g. when I wanted to move onto Publii, Ghost or other engine).

In your case, I’d recommend checking https://writefreely.org/

The goal is on documentation itself. There’s technical stuff that I do, combining the docs of 2 or more software pieces. These don’t have much space anywhere. At some point, I have been doing this with the assistance of AI. That’s why I started to wonder, maybe it’s not worth the effort… But that’s a negative thought I might just put aside. I am very thankful for all the inspiring and motivating answers I am getting here.

self-hosting implies making the service available for yourself with tunnels or port forwards. Yet, I’ve been running searxng container and accessing it via localhost without issues. I could write a guide and share my docker compose file…

And, there’s also that monkey with infectious disease that scaped the crash site of the truck that was carrying them
