Honestly I’d say the ones who ruined it were the cryptobros who only care about seeing number go up. Gave a bad rep to crypto right outta the gate, especially with causing the (first) GPU shortage. Now if you mention crypto to anyone, even with a legitimate interest, they instantly get a bad taste in their mouth.

It is always nice when some service allows payment in Monero though. The default of bitcoin is still prominent, but thankfully most people are realizing it ain’t private at all.

Found out an hour ago that I’m running with the malware :/

We do have some similar things, like Meshtastic for messages, but that’s just texting via radio. As far as calls go, it’s mostly also just radio for now.

Session tried to get a call and text system setup whereby anyone can host a node, similar to a TOR node, but their foundation didn’t reach the funding total. The work is done, but some services are gonna be scaled back a bit. There is definitely a considerable push for systems like that, but they’ll take a bit of time for implementation as it’d otherwise just be another company owned service that’s outside our control.

Honestly, I would really fuck with a comprehensive Linux mobile experience. I know some things exist, but they aren’t yet fully rounded off. I say this now, but know damn well I’d tinker with something I shouldn’t and wind up needing to reinstall the OS like five times.

Word of caution on this, make dang sure you know exactly what you’re doing. Dassault systems has a reputation for tracking pirates down and billing out the ass, and that reputation doesn’t come from nowhere.

Still not saying not to pirate it, but do tread on very light waters.

Doesn’t seem to be AI, just some lazy work. The other images used on their website all seem to be taken from primary sources when applicable, and this one is as well.

Pretty sure that is it. A lotta people in response to seeing him decry certain technologies tend to say, “that uncompromising nature on privacy is why GrapheneOS holds up so well.” Which I gotta be real when I say that it really does make me feel more comfortable with GrapheneOS’ development. I can’t keep up with all news on it, I’m not wanting to completely audit all the source code, but having a development team led by someone like that does bring a sense of ease toward my phone.

I was gonna say, you can tell who’s just a cryptobro vs who actually cares about fiscal freedom based on that. If anyone suggests you use bitcoin, they probablyyyyy aren’t someone to listen to. Zcash and Monero are the only two I’d ever trust as of now.

Honestly, its a massive shame that a technology as good as crypto was completely usurped by groups just looking to profit. They chant “This is true freedom of finance!” while only caring how much USD it’s worth. Like dawg, that’s why nobody takes crypto seriously.

For reference of just how easy this is, most AR-15s that I’ve seen have been units built from individual parts, my own included. That’s kinda the AR-15’s whole schtick, is that it’s super modular and customizable, so much that a lotta people joke that it’s “LEGOs for adults.” It makes good sense, if company A makes a good upper, but Company B makes good triggers, so why not mix and match for the best of both worlds?

No shame if you’re one of these people, but I figured mostly everyone on Lemmy would’ve known about this sorta stuff by now. While many apps are just frontends for services, the presence of an app alone is enough to massively expand trackability of the user. Heck, its profitable enough for companies to force people to use apps that some services are forcing all mobile website visits to redirect straight to an app store.

Odysee has a lotta nice to haves, like filehosting, but I’ll be damned if most comments sections I see aren’t full of the craziest of people.

Progress happens in spite of them, aye. Feudalism led to capitalism, while it is flawed, I’d say this is an upgrade. Capitalism originally embraced slavery, and while some aspects still exist today, mostly all capitalist governments have put massive blocks on it. Monarchism led to constitutional monarchism, the beginnings of the rule of law. Through this rule of law, democracy could be organized.

Thr next steps are entirely up to your opinion, yet I feel things will on average improve. There will be setbacks, yet onward we go.

The title of this post seems to communicate that goal, even if it’s not the intent. It is worth noting that the article itself seems to read more as if Samsung is going through bad management decisions amid market turmoil. The current market demand on Samsung has some sectors performing with insane profits, yet others completely underperforming. This current topic is the offproduct of the statements of the lesion between the union reps and the company, to which this individual has already been replaced. They were pushing for a distribution of earnings based on how their respective sector performed.

Also not to be outdone, wronged workers are doing what wronged workers do best. A strike is planned for the near future, and Samsung is currently responding by cutting production quotas in advance. It is not a company wide strike, rather it is a strike of just the specific division of Samsung that’s getting lesser earnings. The union seems to see that amid the AI craze, their underperforming sector is at risk of being diminished, even if only temporarily.

I can add more, but I dont wanna interpret for others and I think I’ve done that enough already. Its not a long or bad read, y’all can see for yourself.

I don’t believe that makes it any less valid, even if it is the case. Those are systemic things, which if one could be morphed by them, it’s fair to say others are too.

I think that’s a weird quirk of Lemmy in general, is that the lot of us tend to be much more accepting of differences. I haven’t exactly spent too much time around, but nobody’s mentioned my instance or ‘queerness’ in ill intent, even when disagreements happen.

But also if there are instances or groups created where a very large portion of said instance is bigoted, it’s very easy to just defederate and move on.

Tl;Dr: is that age verification laws are being pushed heavily, and Linux users are strongly against that sorta stuff. Most developers openly say they won’t comply, thus their software is in violation.

Honestly even explicit content aside, I’m afraid of being lumped in with some group that’s staring down the end of the barrel. Even though furries seem valuable to STEM jobs, the large LGBT presence and general ‘weirdness’ make it seem easy for us to be given some degenerate label.

I’ll translate the other guy’s comment;

Israel and the US attacked because they were basically handed a golden opportunity in a world where they search for opportunity. The top governmental officials were present within the same room, confirmed by their intelligence officials, and during a vote for the next supreme leader. By attacking then, both the current government would be inept for days to weeks, and a new government would have a shoddy transition of power.

Tl;Dr: the goal is a long, drawn-out war. I realized after writing this whole thing out, It’s totally a tangent you didn’t mention, but fugget I’m not gonna let it go to waste.

Now, here’s the opportunity in that opportunity: A “short victory” is not the goal, this is a resource war. Venezuela was effectively captured by the US, Hegseth has stated intents to revitalize the Americas as the ‘American sphere of influence’ (paraphrased), Iran is unable to export significant oil, and with that goes most of the middle east’s production through the closed strait. This disproportionately favors the US, Russia, and Canada for oil production. Trump previously pushed his “51st state” agenda on Canada, and Russia is cutoff from trade with much of the world due to sanctions. This has the US in a position where it disproportionately benefits from having the Strait of Hormuz closed, and the longer it goes, the more reliant countries get on the US for energy.

As to why it happens now, Trump is in power, and the current admin understands the developed world is slowly becoming more energy independent without the need for oil (alternative energy). This explains why the narrative is maintained that “green energy doesnt work,” while Europe actively sees progress and positive outcome with it. It’s not about what’s best for the American people he speaks to, it’s more oriented around what he wants to leverage in the current state of global affairs.

I mean, it’d definitely have some baggage when it comes to the vacuum of space.

I don’t know anywhere near the full scope of this industry, but what seems to’ve been the case so far is that Lithium Ion battery recycling isn’t really happening because not enough batteries have died yet, to sustain a company in that industry. Which y’know, bit of a good problem to have, but it’s also a problem that Lead-Acid batteries had toward the early phases of their use. As was the case then, it took time for enough batteries to die to sustain an industry in battery recycling, and even moreso exacerbated with Lithium car batteries having a longer lifespan.

The interesting part is that once we have enough batteries to sustain the market, a very small proportion has to be manufactured from raw materials to makeup for product lost in the recycling process. This has Lithium in a weird state where we currently heavily rely on its extraction, yet as far as the auto industry is concerned, it won’t be too terribly long in the future when we’d have the baseline supply we need.

Anyways, no clue if that’s truly their approach or not, but we’re at a point that I feel it wouldn’t be entirely unjustifiable to consider.
