Fair correction, but I find it hard to believe far right “free speech” types would use tech made by communists

ahhh I see, yeah I don’t mean you to call out individuals, just what generally is the problem, and tankies…do ignore some critical histories and ignore calls to acknowledge it. Okay, you have a good point about being sus here, but agree lots of potential!

Vauge on purpose or??? i’ve mostly just seen anarchism and communism on here…sure I don’t agree with some communist takes, or some anarchism takes, but to say problematic is kinda of eyebrow raising. What kind of stuff is “problematic”? Lemmy doesn’t allow nazi or proud boys, so it’s really a step above all social platforms really.

Haha I’d love to be at that point when I could brag about my uptime! Seems like I’m overthinking the move in that it’s just a computer 🤦🏽

To be fair, there are some Samsung devices that support LineageOS, but yeah they are not newer models by a long shot.

I think it depends on the age of the building and what condition it’s in. A very specific building instance I know of is schools. Many schools built in the past 30 years are already falling apart, but schools built earlier than that are often far more stable and still standing with general upkeep. If the building is newer, I’d say just redo it since the lifespan is pretty short, but for older buildings it’s probably better to attempt updating it. Putting insulation in older buildings is work, but if the exterior structure is fine then it will last.

I’m exploring Yunohost as a general self-hosting solution which includes fediverse places like mastodon, pixelfed, and many others in the works. You just hit a button to install it and then boom, instance! The yunohost project even provides a domain name for people who don’t want to/can afford to pay for a domain name

In a sense, I would think that the difficulty of discoverability lends well to the fediverse in the sense that you can compartmentalize. Of course creators would want to be discovered but if it’s difficult to find creators across instances, then they naturally start to gather together on instances.

I’m not sure what point I’m trying to make since I think your idea is great, but I also think we don’t need to worry too much about it

My first through is have you reached out to any Native tribes or groups? The one mentioned in the article is in your region so they might have some resources listed. I’d also check local public universities to see if their agricultural department publishes anything of use. I wish I had more info to help but I’m struggling to find those resources too (and I’m on the opposite coast]

Ohh this really would be excellent for XMPP in general

So from my understanding, comradery is intended to be a workers owned central website where orgs can participate and vote for how it will work, as opposed to OpenCollective which controls the mechanisms of the website and orgs just sign up and accept the listed rules in a sense.

Alright, I’m game, but I’ll wait to see who joins the coop. Coops joining coops haha

Just a bit upsetting to think of all the people who suffered and cultures that suffered from colonization. But I’m hopeful that they can regain that understanding and social life

More like what the company does since they are being funded by VC. What was thr stipulation for the money? Who backed it and why? Especially if you want to bill yourself as the company that helps workers not companies.

Interesting, but like the article mentions, skeptical about it being funded by VC.

Never mad about it breaking since the lemmur devs say in the app description that it’ll happen, if anything it means good stuff is being made!

I know there’s an update when Lemmur doesn’t load 🤣 Great changes and progress ya’ll!

I also think this could be dangerous without SERIOUS upgrades to our current electric grid. The loads we reguarly put on it now compared to where it should be is startling. If we are going to sell cars, might as well have electric be a standard option, but I’d rather spend more money in cross country trains and state/ local public transport

I like to think of it as refocusing on what matters. Mainstream social media focuses on profits and how to increase them. Instead we should be focusing on how to engage people, share their stories, and so forth. I see further down, pro social is a good way to put it.

I kinda don’t like the term anti design because it feels very nefarious and aggressive, plus I think of anti design as in “the post button is hidden on the screen somewhere” or “we will put two very similar colors as the default background/text” but I do like the point the article makes

Kind of like how you have unread messages marked? As long as there is a way to clear it, or turn the setting off since I know that I often take long breaks from places and returning to a huge number might make me not want to engage…which I guess is a good thing? Hmm now I am not sure but do agree this design would be nice generally speaking

Pardon me if I am not understanding, but why would it need to partition if you want to remove Ubuntu? I installed on an old machine running Windows, and it worked. Are you sure you used the right installation? My old machine needed the 32 bit version.
