i'm not an anarchist, but i am a leftist and lemmy has taught me that the ideological overlap isn't sufficient to engage like that; my intention was to lurk only and see content like this since i hadn't yet seen it on mastadon.

timeline style social media doesn't work for me; but they usually have social circles that you can see in something like a friends list. i'll start there with yours and thanks.

where in mastadon can you find things like this?

i never thought to use ai for instruction on system configuration like is and this is brilliant.

i've used it before to give me ideas that serve as a starting place when i work on anything and now i'm going to start doing this when i want to improve my setup; thanks for making me aware of this option.

sounds a lot like the same thing they said in 2016 and now that we know that they're doubling down on their stubbornness here and in other examples; we should expect a repeat of 2016 & 2024 in 2028.

are security updates done in the same way that fdroid gets installed?

i'm a neophyte to things like fdroid and plan on using it on one of my devices, but hasn't yet done his homework on it.

i always wonder about extending the life of old hardware on things whose batteries are non-replaceable.

i would image that the battery life by this point is at least sub par and i hate knowing that so much that i've taken efforts to ensure that all of my hardware comes with self-serviceable parts like the battery and the drives.

i did for halloween and that's the only holiday i celebrate. i throw in dia de los muertos just to extend it a few more days and i take vacation days off for it as well.

when it's halloween: i put costumes on my pets; decorate my home with renter friendly decor; and then redecorate again one day 1 of dia de los muertos with a shrine to the people i've loved in the past with pictures and keepsakes that were once theirs and then add prayer candles similar to these with lgbt & other notable figures like devine, mlk jr, james baldwin, malcom x, marsha p johnston, matthew shepherd, harvey milk, etc. and i put the star trek delta or idic instead of the crucifix, but i keep the statuette of the lady of guadalupe.

The last 2 reddit userbase diasporas were wildly more different than all of the previous ones combined.

When voat became a thing everyone already knew ahead of time that it's ranks would be filled with facists; but it took a while for lemmy to earn its tankie stereotype and I'm also glad that lemmy's design helps ensure that it'll have more stamina that voat or any of the other reddit user digital refugee camp platforms that came before it.

... objectively worse and far less tolerant.

True for now; but how much longer?

My ruling class either miscalculated our response to the election choices they gave us or decided that excelerationism was in our best interests. In both cases they're going to have to double down to maintain their control and that means more facism or another distraction war.

Both majority parties have shifted towards the right end of the political spectrum since 2016 and the dnc's unwillingness to accept the reasons why they lost this election like they did after 2016 guarantees that they will continue to follow republicans in their shift rightwards towards facism.

History has plenty examples of calms before storms like this and my existence at the intersection of several vulnerable minorities guarantees that at least one of them will be popularly scape goated. I have no intention of serving that role and one of my identities affords me an easy-ish path outside of this country.

So the question for me isn't to where but which one and I know through experience that they're all already sufficiently tolerant. whether or not there's a link with pinochet doesn't matter much to me since starmers' few controversies so far already suggest that a pinochet link is plausible.

Germany's ruling coalition falling apart; trump winning; macron caucusing with the far right instead of the election winners; Italy's civil rights regression with its new far right govt; and now this makes me think that we're in for a wild ride in the West for the next few decades and I wonder if I should try to leave now or wait until the shooting starts.

I use xfce and this looks great.

I wonder if Kamala's victory was "plan a" and Trump's was "plan b" or if trump's victory was a happy accident.
