Sorry, but in my book, nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies random violence. Your justification of it sickens me and I’m surprised that you got so upvoted. I’ve been on the breaking point from things that were happening inside my own home as a kid, but I never took it on my little brother, or other kids. Instead, I was taking it against the actual aggressor (my father), even if it resulted in more beatings and hairline broken jaws, and put the knife, or the gun on my head. So, yes, I’ve been through some shit myself. But I protected my brother and my mother as much as I could. Doing random violence, as you described it, against people who might have their own cross to bear is not justified. EVER.

And yes. They CAN act against Bezos, Musk, and the board of Exxon. They can easily find where these people are, paparazzis certainly can. Every second day we have pictures of Bezos with his darling gf. Get organized so the locals can take it against him when he visits somewhere. But you don’t act against your fellow citizen who is also a victim of oppression and climate change, or destroy classic works of art. What kind of BS is that??

their drivers aren’t open, so there are always crashes and bugs that they can’t be fixed, because nvidia can’t test with all the distros, or all wayland implementations, or games under linux. Intel drivers are the most rock solid under linux.

I have two personas. One with a google phone with FB (to talk to my mom to Greece), and a macbook. And another with a de-googled Murena eOS phone and Linux laptop. One of these two personas will die once I move to Greece next year. I don’t mind not being able to talk to friends on FB or IG. If they want to find me, there’s email, or they can join federated social media. I won’t miss them.

Maybe some bigger subreddits are dying, but the UFOs and Experiencers subreddits are as active as ever, if not more. I guess these remain big there because these subjects are very censored in other social media (e.g. youtube) and never show up in search results (they show only videos from tv news). Reddit also censors them (e.g. some posts that contain more info than usual), but you can still see these posts when you go to these subreddits directly.

Love PixelFed, I just like chronological and tag based systems. This way every user gets an equal opportunity to be seen. Unlike what’s happening with recommendation systems, where only a few super stars are pushed by the algorithms.

I found nothing weird about its design, in fact, it just looks like an iphone, that billions use at this point.

Ok, but why not use Murena /e/ OS, that has MicroG pre-installed (and in fact, they’re the main developers of microG), and the ability to install google play apps if you want? They support even more phones than LineageOS at this point, and their codebase was originally from LineageOS. I installed e OS on my Moto G7 Plus, and it works great!

There is no point disabling the google app when the rest of the phone runs on Google services, and the rest of the google apps. The tracking will happen regardless. If you don’t want to be tracked by them, you need a de-googled version of Android, that doesn’t run their apps, or their services. I’m currently using /e/ OS, an Android de-googled fork, by Murena: https://murena.com/ on an older Motorola G7 Plus. No google apps, and I make a point of not installing any popular app that depends on google’s services. I only use open source apps found on the f-droid open source store. Yes, that means that you won’t have games, or FB or IG, or twitter (unless you use them via the browser). But I don’t need any of that. I now only use fediverse open source apps, plus the basic phone apps found on the Murena eOS, like email and notes.
