Tbh, in the digital world Lemmy is actually a nice step imo. But more steps can always be taken (as long they’re reasonable). Whether its physical or digital.

I mean I tried giving up a Microsoft account for an Ely.by one. Finding servers was somewhat more inconvenient but was fine.

I think you can use standard TOTP regardless if you add TOTP as an option in the authentication methods on your account page. At least I did and the system has yet to complain.

Any thoughts on OpenFoodFacts? When you mentioned it, I searched and saw alternativeto.net said this was an open-source alternative. An app is available on F-Droid as well (That software I run is Libre is important for me personally)

Every Communist that isn’t authoritarian would like to disagree with you. Anarchists are not Marxist-Lenninists for example

I hope everyone here has deleted their Microsoft account ;)

I think he’s saying most EV’s are modern cars with this malicious tech. Personally just gonna avoid buying a car as long as I can

Firefox does now have built-in page translation that runs offline. While it’s not the best one out there it only needs to connect to the internet once to download the translation data.

Yes for all except youtube. I use frontends there. LBRY when feasible and there’s not a lot of content creators on PeerTube at least we got “The Linux Experiment”. PeerTube needs a monetization model imo (benefiting content creators and instance hosters). I wouldn’t mind paying a low fee for watching content for instance.

Tbh I was confused for a second and then thought. “Oh… Right-wing libertarianism!”

Personally waiting for the shiftphone 8. Fairphone 5 is also a possibility if you value ethics. These should be less bloated than most I believe. The pixel is nicer than most mainstream phones. As it just comes with the vendor who made Android and their proprietary bs instead of yet another layer. The best way to eliminate bloat is a custom rom. Pixel supports GrapheneOS and I believe all of them will be supported by CalyxOS. (They made a build for the newest released shiftphone)

Very rarely on other platforms like lbry and peertube. Don’t have a Google account and use a YouTube frontend

Well someones gotta go first. Nah, I’m kidding and I get it. I tried it myself with Snapchat and Discord and it was a very slow and tedious process. But I got it done. Migrated to SMS for the people that refused to adopt a new platform and since SMS is …quite bad it does get easier to convince once you’re there. Feel somewhat guilty for bothering people but I sure don’t miss the old platforms. Good riddance.

I’d recommend trying running a llm locally. Mistral OpenOrca is pretty good (saw it on GPT4All)

In general I don’t like squishy chips randomly laid out in my food. It feels like I come over a rotten or moldy part.

I’d argue pedophilia can be to some degree be addressed with proper mental healthcare.

Galaxy S10+ with Magisk + crDroid. It has signature spoofing which is nice for MicroG but I eventually uninstalled MicroG and replaced it with nothing.

Some say it’s extremism in 2023

Thanks, sent a coffee’s worth in Monero.

To be more mainstream granted it isn’t because of a shitty locked down distro incompatible with the others.

What I love most abou Linux is its freedom. It doesn’t try screwing me over for their own benefit, gives me full control of the system and is broken down into components. Having the underlying system foss for many is great to provide and make it easier to adopt more ethical software for computing.
