fedjacketing rust devs on the funny shaped ursine website

It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won’t share the information that you don’t publicly list.

And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.

Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.

Starting with someone’s dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE’s unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.

Wouldn’t want bad actors to find privacy respecting software.

aren’t you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don’t do “apolitical” theatrics here.

There is Rock Pi and other SoC’s that have that. That H3/H3+ looks like a good option for a low power server for self hosting.

It’s the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it’ll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it’s kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.

Wait, paru can handle flatpaks?

Man, not even the cheap shit. $9 for 26.5 oz jar. How much did that even cost to do?

Worse. The game is Pathfinder 2e, the GM is following WBL, and if you use that healing potion - or literally any consumable ever - you can’t sell it to get your +1 striking rune a little earlier.

Divine blessings are not for me to use during tough boss fights, they are for my opponents in PvP to spam knowing they can just save scum from a backup save.

RE does help somewhat with limited inventory space - I find myself shooting weapons with abundant ammo to make room for new loot, despite being a consumable hoarder myself.

The issue is that any philantropy a billionaire does comes from money “earned” through exploitation and is never enough to un-make them a billionaire. Even if they did, it’s still a single person taking the resources of millions of people and controlling it themselves to put into their pet projects, in a completely undemocratic manner - so Gates gets to benefit from the looting of Africa and then turn arounf and tell Africans how he will be allocating that stolen loot. Oh, and that man controlling so much policy in various African nations thinks Africa is overpopulated, an extremely racist eugenicist myth.

The good and bad are not separste things you can judge in isolation, any “good” a billionaire does is only possible by causing disproportionate harm. It is not as though these billionaires are personally doing much of anything, they are simply seizing resources from the public to inefficiently address problems that the public could have managed themselves if they were permitted to control their own lives, if they aren’t just doing what Gates does of using donations as money laundering.

I have some deeply tech unsavvy people in my life who will fuck up their phone trying to “uninstall Google” - and thus disable all their keyboards - that would probably benefit from a “just works” degoogled phone. I love GrapheneOS, but it assumes the end user is the sort of dork that is capable of installing it in the first place - people who struggle with tech deserve privacy too.
