i think the DPRK is the only on that list i don’t hold positive opinions about, or really any at all. everything i “know” on it is typical western propaganda so i try to keep my opinions open

yeah i’ve had my eye on hexbear for a while. if Lemmy weren’t so resource intensive i’d run a personal instance myself, but looks like hexbear is probably where i’ll end up (assuming they accept me :p)

looking more and more like I’ll be making an alt on another instance then… :p

oh i had no idea about this, yikes. and you’re absolutely right re: mastodon

man “leaked private messages” is such a weak fucking excuse in the face of transphobia. @nutomic@lemmy.ml you realize you’re just alienating a huge fucking number of comrades? not just trans people, but all those that rightfully stand with us too.

edit: nutomic you absolutely can come back from this if you don’t double down. accept your shit, and work on it. and you know what that would be great to see, there’s not enough of that in the world.

if not then @dessalines@lemmy.ml and other core devs, i think you have a tough decision to make. i absolutely do not envy you. though do keep in mind that handling this correctly will solidify even tighter community support behind the Lemmy project.

we need more good comrades behind ActivityPub development :p

of course, we must keep supplying the source of their misery, how else can we then help them out of their misery?

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

this is my goto sleep-time track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn8-KJvXRj8

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 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

same. initially i was worried about the performance compared to “native” clients like Boost,Sync,etc but even as a PWA written in JS i have zero issues with it.

this is some Let’s Game It Out shit

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.
