Ohhh shit, thanks for updating me on the whole situation. Guess I’ll have to take a look at Lemmy and PieFed, and their devs, and see where I want to stand lol

Ah, so basically the same problem there is on Reddit with power-tripping mods that manage several subreddits.

At least it’s federated so being banned in one instance and its communities doesn’t keep you from joining or making similar communities in your own instance, or joining a different instance

Sooo… do I just do with known email providers (proton, tuta, the webmail my domain provider allows me to have)?

Seems like email is the biggest issue to self host lol

Ah, drama I’m not chronically online enough to understand.

I think the issue comes with “division and multiplication”, and “addition and subtraction” Here, I see people saying “Brackets/Parenthesis > Division > Multiplication > Subtraction > Addition” when I was taught “Brackets/Parenthesis > Division or multiplication, left to right > Subtraction or addition, left to right”

I was taught to do

• Brackets
• Division and multiplication left to right
• Addition and subtraction left to right

There should be a fucking ISO for this shit tbh

It’s funny that CNC can either be one of these industrials machines I don’t know much about, or Consented NonConsent

I only use Brave because some websites got my digital fingerprint with firefox lol

Okay, thank you, will try to get an old pc when I can afford one to experiment with these and some others things

That’s fair. At least I got an starting point now even if it’s hard at first.

Thank you!

Not OP, but, thank you for this, I will take a look at Amateur Radio.Got any advice (or more like pointers) for self hosting, privacy and security? To me, it seems like a huge effort, both to learn and to keep it up.

Got any advice on how to start doing that, for someone who considers themselves tech-savvy, but not enough to know how to self host, or to know the open source alternatives yet?

I don’t wanna blame them because each does what they need to get by and may not have the energies for more, but if the average person doesn’t start to fight it, it’s gonna be the dystopia.

Unless AI and automatization is done for everyone’s good, and not just for the profit of a very small group, it’s either going to collapse under the demands of the majority, or it will bring us to a dystopia where either the bottom is forced to procreate to keep having cheap labor for the worst jobs, ad-infinitum, or it gets phased out by machines until all there is left is the people on top.

I guess I’ll keep my Android phone for whatever I need big corpo for (bank app, whatsapp every1 uses, 2FA), and get a GrapheneOS-able phone for the rest.

As a fairly recent current A1 Mini user (too late to return), ouch. Guess I’ll have to get used to it until I can afford a different brand when I upgrade lol
