Feel free to elaborate. Everything I have read over my life (couple thousand pages I guess) suggestd that linux can be a lot more secure than windows and ios.

Because android. PostmarketOS is linux (based on alpine linux)
Same. I mostly try to be honest with myself as I found that copium rarely is helpful. We‘re in this mess now and we can either sulk or get going. I choose to get going day after day. Hows that for aspirational statements? :)
Being cynical and defeatist is a coping mechanism. Like racism, its a form of dealing with a continuously shitty situation while not addressing the real problem.
If you look at the small amount of people that drink 1000$ wine bottles for lunch while you‘re struggling to pay the rent, then you find the problem these cynics are unable to address.
I personally prefer postmarketOS but everything is better than stock android/ios
They could go full deep packet inspection like other authoritarian regimes. But otherwise its gonna be tough.
You need to have a phone that doesnt read your screen though. Iphones eg read everything you do and probably share that data. No idea about android.
Thats a lot of text to say „I‘m not interested in debate.“
I think its the wrong platform if you just want to push your ideas and takes and cant accept different opinions. A blog would be more fitting in that case.
And again, have a good one.
If you would read the book, they explain the point you are trying to make in the first couple of pages.
You have your opinion of how stuff should be done. But that doesnt mean everyone else needs to do it your way. Thats how we got into this mess.
Also very good analogy in the book: if you vote or not is your decision, plain and simple. But voting takes a couple minutes on average. If you want change, you can hang up a poster or print some flyers or take a megaphone, depending on what you‘re comfortable with.
I come from a country where people used to be put in gas chambers because the responsibility didnt reach far enough down and right now, that same country is going that exact route again.
Great way to rid yourself of responsibility. Sadly, nothing ever got achieved by being smart. Doing things is what is necessary.
Therefore yes, billionaires must go, of course. But they wont go until we take action. So my point still stands. Read the book.
How about doing something instead of talking? https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/crimethinc-recipes-for-disaster
Thanks for mentioning this. I recently switched to kodi for my tv setup and it works well with plex. I wonder if jellyfin would work with it. I might try it.
Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.
Whatever idea you have to phones, you‘re wrong. They can easily make 5 plus years if you treat them right. The more problematic part is daily use and battery degradation/repair.
But google sucks anyway so I‘ll stay with postmarketOS on my oneplus6 and wait for my camera to come to life some day (hopefully).
Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?
Very interesting! Thanks for the heads up. I didnt know that. 7 years ago, they already used wine for that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44014390/how-to-generate-a-windows-executable-using-pyinstaller-on-linux#45065125
If all else fails you could also use a vm. Thats probably less dangerous than dual booting because of windows not playing nice with grub.
Yes. I just researched and found out minecraft uses its own engine based on lwjgl. It’s a little bit like whatsapp and matrix. While whatsapp uses(d?) xmpp, matrix is the protocol, not the client.
I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.
That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.
I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.
In any case. Good luck.
I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.
Fair enough. In bad times, that is true for me as well. But these times pass eventually. At least they always have in the past.
