also on debian or ubuntu based distros you have the biggest selection of programs available.

AUR and nixpkgs have a massive amount of packages and are more up-to-date, and basically anything not on there can be installed with Flatpak

Would also be interesting to see a Rust version of Genode

Stuff like this is why I’m nervous to take any medications for my mental health

The CEO has shitty stances on certain things but everything is basically a frontend to Google/Bing/Brave which are all also shitty so the entire search engine market is fucked from an ethical perspective

Kagi isn’t privacy focused but it doesn’t use your data for ads either. The main benefit is good search quality and more control over the search results.

If you slam on the brakes it makes the ad extra large

I use the FairEmail client

I used to get a lot of news off Instagram, but lately I’ve noticed that a lot of radical stuff like protests have basically disappeared off my feed, and other people I’ve talked to have said that this is happening with Twitter as well. Now it’s mostly just fear-mongering headlines with no reporting on defensive actions, despite there being tons of protests all over the place in the past few days. The 50501 protests were a lot bigger than I thought they’d be, and the fact that there’s barely any reporting on them is extremely concerning and I think is intentional. Meanwhile I’ve seen an increasing amount of radical stuff pop up on RedNote, like protests and pro-Luigi stuff, while at the same time somehow maintaining a calmer and more unifying vibe (also no ads), so it definitely seems like a better platform (compared to other options that are algorithm-driven) and I’ve been browsing it more instead of Instagram lately. Also, I’m trying to look for ways to connect with more people IRL, which I think is one of the most important things people can do right now to fight the isolating and divisive design of capitalism.

I’ve used Ayugram and Nagram and haven’t been banned

It also blocks Tor, other instances don’t

reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao

I’ve been trying to figure out how to network with people where I live and so far it’s been very difficult, partly because I’m very busy constantly and don’t have a car or a lot of spending money, and also because I’m depressed and my social skills are absolute garbage. At this point almost all of my social life for the past few years has been Lemmy, Reddit, and Instagram.

Sooner or later we’re gonna have to bypass the Great Firewall of America by VPNing into China

As a student there is no way I am skipping a day’s worth of classes and risking my grade for a single protest that’s probably not going to do shit similar to the other protests I’ve been to that didn’t do shit

More like 2 days and money for a car or bus + gas, depending on where in the state you live

From what I see here it can automatically encrypt incoming emails with PGP, which I know Fastmail doesn’t have this, and the advantage would be that you get security similar to Protonmail but you’re not locked into their clients.

Mailbox.org works with IMAP so you can use a regular email program. The mailbox is not encrypted by default but I saw that there’s an option to enable it involving PGP keys.

I like soy better

For my ebike I use OSMAnd with Brouter
