When you rely on a privately owned for-profit corporation for free services, you can’t expect much.

They are speaking freely and making choices in their own interests, Elon.

Yeah, Elon’s making a big mess. I guess that some companies have become too big and powerful if this can happen. Forget anti-trust legislation, just let them eat themselves.

centuries, not decades.

This is a difficult topic. Here in Italy the mass migration of the past decade has caused cultural difficulties, as well as some economic fears and resentment. I am myself an immigrant, but not a refugee. I believe in a right to refuge, but also in a responsability to try to assimilate without losing your identity. There is racism here against newcomers, but I find most people are open and welcoming to those that try to be a positive part of the community.

Got this type of setup on my home pc, my laptop has sway/gnome. It’s a bit more difficult integrating sway with gnome, still having to use the cli for bluetooth, can’t figure out how to have it managed by gnome networking.

Fairphone.

You can get a public ip address for it if you want to share/collaborate using noip or similar service and a few minutes setting up your router.

Ahh, that was not stated. My apologies.

Just got off the train, I gave up cars a while ago.

No, I do not misunderstand the sub. It is an announcement to maintain a minimum of civility and not be a cowardly troll.

I am a recovered addict of the ‘hopeless’ variety. It is a tough road to put down the substances, but it is possible. The first thing I did was treat the physical addiction which can be done only through abstinance. After that, I treated the mental side, which is my obsession with getting/being high, which I do through 12 step programs, and treating underlying mental illness with my doctor. I have had to reevaluate my life and make a lot of changes to how I live, but am overall much happier. Please let me know if I can be of help, you can send me a private message. Footnote: I am not a religious type and don’t cotton to the ‘cult’ side of 12 step programs.

Yeah, lets see how this plays out. I suspect twitter will become the next myspace.

You can try an open source androi, I use e/OS. I only use F-Droid or directly get apks.

Usually in the header there is a contact email. I’ve found that developers are usually pretty enthusiastic to help you to understand their coding if you get in touch with them. Don’t forget to thank them and contribute to the project if you can!

Try honey instead, I like it much more than sugar in teas.

I’m going to try this (and the chai recipe) in a french press. I wonder how it would come out in a moka espresso. Thanks!

Thanks! It’s nothing new to me, but I do take a moment to remind people to be civil. I’m certainly enjoying the Fediverse, the vast majority of people are interesting and nice. For the others, well, I’m not here to get pissed off or pissed on, so the ‘block’ button comes in handy.

On desktop I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine and plugin, as well as Privacy Badger plugin. For android (e/OS), I use DuckDuckGo browser. I also have TOR browser on all of my devices for when I need more privacy.
