Funny how you need more and more technical knowledge to go deeper into privacy, until the last level, which is basically giving up on technology itself.

Xfce always look incredibly beautiful in other people’s screenshots, but on my system it always look so ugly lol

I already know a couple of people who already talk to chatbots as if they were their friends. This is so depressing… And by the current state of things, I might be reading bot publications and replying to bots here and there, without knowing. That just increases my will to die

What? You live in a lower income country and doesn’t have a reliable internet connection and a high spec machine? Our board of directors have a personal message for you:

It would be awesome if we could map the increase in hardware demands on popular software by each new feature, design changes, and other minor changes added over time.

Another libreoffice user here. Published a couple of academic works edited entirely on it, and no one complained about formatting errors. Things have improved a lot in the last years. We also have onlyoffice as another great alternative

Jellyfin users have been warning about such things for a long time, but very few actually listened. Well, here we are, hope more people migrate now

But lemmy isn’t marked as private there. Wouldn’t it be the same as mastodon?

Bring it on!

Well… I expected better longevity, to be honest.

So, my comment was removed without even a warning? What rule did I break? The rules clearly state that memes are allowed in comments.

I see people mentioning obtainium, but never tried it. Will it give some relevant benefits over fdroid for low end devices?

Well, you’re technically correct lol

And that’s one of the benefits from open source apps. I have a very low end and dated phone, and yet I have more apps installed and hardware functionality than the average person, because I grab everything I can from f-droid. It’s amazing how much smaller and performant everything is.

I still miss firefox os and feel sad for them not succeeding. Their app system could have become a multiplatform standard and allow us to have much more options in the smartphone market, as well as better desktop integration and interoperability :(

Don’t lose hope, lead the resistance!

Out of curiosity, how many flip phones have you used since 2007?

We used to be free from such bullshit, but some companies have started trying to bring similar systems here in Brazil, especially drugstore brands that would ask for our id number in every order to give “discounts”. Fortunately, this practice is now being investigated, and I hope the companies lose the case.

But aren’t pdfs with code a potential security risk?

Might sound a bit unrelated, but have you been noticing an apparent rise on ageism too? The social media seem to be fueling it for some reason.
