Nationalism is a fuck

the part where it’s running windows not so much but it’s a better kb layout for sure

The ppp is growing on me, especially since suspend and camera and shit work now but it is still janky (mine tried to melt a pogo pin ) and the battery life is atrocious yeah (though not bad with the keyboard’s 6000mAh!!). It may end up being a bridge for me that leads to not having a smartphone at all though lol.

Honestly I don’t mind the boot-up, tow-boot with built in jump drive is nice, and once its in linux I don’t have to care.

There’s an aftermarket battery claiming 3500mAh that does anecdotally feel like it’s actually a bit better than stock (and a lot better than the shitty offbrands I’ve bought before)

For me it’s just a matter of something that actually works tho, I don’t have nearly the time to build my own shit with custom chips on an architecture with even less support than aarch64. I’m already putting a lot into getting shit to work on mobile linux ARM

pizza’s gotten so much more expensive in my city that adding $5+ for delivery and a tip for the delivery person just puts it into “I simply can’t justify this” price territory. Plus the places that are cheap are not close by nor do they taste good. Dominos is so bready and dehydrating that I can’t do it anymore and most other places aren’t near as cheap. So I bike or walk to the 1 or 2 places that are close by and then I can afford to tip the cooks not just the delivery driver.

honestly I grew up able to afford takeout and we still did this, and I mostly do to this day. The only time I order delivery is like, if I’m having people over and don’t want to leave for 20+ mins to go pick something up, or if I’m too intoxicated to drive (and nowadays I’m liable to bike or walk even then). If I can’t even be bothered to go pick up the food I probably don’t need it and should just go to bed.

They’re making me walk to the pizza place and use cash. I wish I had never gotten tricked into Communism

it was in the like 3 other threads about this tweet tho

this probably isnt what you want but the pinephone pro+keyboard accessory is a pretty neat little linux handheld (if very janky in some ways)

or the original pinephone is probably fine if you’re mostly going to stay in a terminal

Seems like a real mixed bag, leaning towards a negative because it requires a civil lawsuit. On one hand sure, good, you can sue harassers at the source. On the other hand how many nasty things like neo-nazi group membership are brought to light through doxxing and will also become illegal. and since it requires you bring suit, this will protect the people with more money/resources more often than not.

lemmygrad has an OCR bot that we can summon now courtesy of @[email protected]

But building it into lemmy would be very neat ngl and would open up things like repost detection

to try it out tag @[email protected] (purposefully unlinked this to not trigger it which I guess didn’t work lmao)

see above, if you decide you want to opt out I wrote a userscript to auto-collapse all comments not from here or lemmygrad.ml

I made a userscript (like a browser extension but less work) to show only content from other instances (“dunk mode”), but it can just as easily be inverted! If you want to give it a try, just install something like TamperMonkey in your browser and then copy/paste and save this script:

function processComment(comment) {
    var link = comment.querySelectorAll('a[title="link"]');
    if (link.length >= 2 && (!link[1].href.includes("hexbear.net") && !link[1].href.includes("lemmygrad.ml"))) {
        comment.querySelector('button[aria-label="Collapse"]').click();
    }
    return true;
}

waitForKeyElements('.comment-node', processComment);

This will auto collapse all comments not from hexbear.net or lemmygrad. I could make it hide posts too, but browsing by Local I never see lib posts anyhow, so I didn’t bother.

as far as I know upstream lemmy doesn’t want it and is waiting on pictrs proxying support. If I’m wrong though our code is public, I’m sure a dev would be happy to put together a PR,

Appears to be a language issue. The default should be selecting both “English” and “Undetermined” but it’s pretty easy in the UI to accidentally clear it and select only “Undetermined”.

https://hexbear.net/post/113794 this seems to be a struggle sesh about closing registrations

https://hexbear.net/post/72043 this was pinned but not a mega

My opinion? He’s engaging in the time honored capitalist tradition of lying all the time abut anything and everything.

He’s a weirdo sure, but is he soooo different and special that he’s just transphobic because of his eccentric obsessions? No shot. He’s just got the same anxieties about gender as every other transphobe. Not even exceptional in his bigotry

the weirdo angle here is that he thought this made him sound better. But I guess it did, to Grimes

Any government interference with economics is anti-capitalism.

Alright, I see we aren’t being serious here.

Hexbear.net stays winning, external embeds are domain whitelist-only until pictrs adds proxying support, and blurred by default.

Good PSA tho, I’d honestly encourage other instances to do the same but it requires dev effort that I know not everyone has, and upstream isn’t quite as paranoid about this stuff.
